Important Capture of Counterfeiters.
"When the first announcement was made
of the arrest of the Stadfelt family, Nelson
Driggs and Ben Boyd, counterfeiters, in
Illinois, by Chief Washburii and the opera
tive ol the secret service ol the treasury, it
was stated that the plates, engraved by
Boyd and printed from by Charles Stadfelt,
were captured. This was incorrect and
arose from an error in a cipher telegram
The plates, however, have been finally
secured after a searcn often days by Chief
Washburn, who dug them up yesterday in
a piece of woods five miles from Centralia,
Illinois. They consist of the original steel
plate for five dollar notes of the Traders'
National Bank of Chicago, which is, with
out doubt, the most dangerous ever put in
circulation, and or the transler plates from
which the bogus Paxton, Canton, Aurora,
and Peru five dollar notes were printed
In addition, Chief Washburn secured the
two fifty-cent plates, on one a "Dexter
head, and on the other a c:Stanton" head,
from which the best counterfeit notes of
that denomination now in circulation were
printed. He also unearthed S'iOO more of
the counterfeit money. The result of this
last raid by the chief and Ids men is the
arrest of the best engraver of counterfeit
plates in the country, one of the best plate
printers, and the largest circular, or whole
sale dealer, of counterfeit money ; also the
seizure $175,000 of bogus currency and
five dollar national bank notes, and seven
teen counterfeit plates.
ELECTION FRAUDS.
It is a remarkable fact that no party
cries out more lustily against election frauds
than the Democratic party, and yet that
whatever election frauds are detected are
almost invariably traced to that party. The
Democratic screechers point to Philadelphia
as a hotbed of election frauds, and yet it is
notorious that the only election frauds ever
mdiC'.alK- detected and exposed m that city
were committed bv the Democrats and for
the purpose of counting in Democratic can
didates.
We have, now, a fresh instance of this in
Montgomery county. The returns as filed
in the Prothonotary's office elected the
Democratic candidate for Recorder b' one
majority ; but a scrutiny of the ballot boxes
showed that, in a Democratic township, a
Democrat had voted two tickets m one, and
that bo'h had been counted in defiance of
law, which requires that both should be re-
jecteil. J. ins was suincient to turn tne
seale in favor of the Republican candidate;
but upon counting the votes 1:1 another bal
lot box it was found that the votes for the
Republican candidate was returned at five
tl an he actually received, while the vote
for the Democratic candidate was returned
at four more.
In both these cases the fraud was dcilbcr-
ate, and was practiced on purpose to cheat
the Republican candidate out of his elec
tion. It failed through exposure of it ; but
the fraudulent intention was too plain for
doubt.
Luzerne county furnishes another illus
tration. The-majority for Pershing;- as
originally returned, was put down at 1,
lOG, but the frauds detected by the court,
in canvassing the returns, cut down the
majority to 1.110, showing a fraudulent
Democratic vote of 21)1. The object of
this fraud was not to elect Pershing, but
to help a Democratic candidate for a coun
ty office through. It was accomplished,
not by the return judges, but by altering
the returns after they reached the Pro
thonotary's cfiice. The Prothonotary, it
need hardly be said, is a Democrat, and it
is likewise unnecessary to add that, when a
warrant was sued out for his arrest he was
not to bofjund. The Scranton JicpuLUcan
thus details the facts :
"It has been proven that election return3,
rly hied in the Prothonotary s ofiice.
hai been altered, changed, false and forged
papers substituted for the genuine ones,
and fiauds promiscuously perpetrated in the
intere st of defeated Democratic candidates.
Dr. Samuel W Trimmer i.s the custodian
of the Prothonotary's ofiice, and he is the
mm w ho must he held responsible for these
sturiendous outrages, lie is an ollictr of
the court, sworn to do his duty ; how has
lie discharged one of the most sacred and
important of these duties ? When the elec
tion returns were filed in his office, they
became a part of the records of the Court
of Common Pleas of Luzerne county. Af
ter they had assumed this sacred character,
some of the rctuns were falsified, others
were abstracted and forged ones substitu
ted, while still others were tampered with
iu various ways, all for the purpose of count
ing in candidates whom the people had re
pudiated at the ballot box This infamous
crime has been in a measure defeated by
the action of the court, in throwing out of
the count such of the fraudulent votes as
have been conclusively proven. It has been
proven that i:i the south district of Dlake
ly township one hundred votes, cast for
each of the candidates on the labor ticket,
were in the returns taken from those can
didates and added to Duffy, Campbell, Jen
nings and the rest of the candidates on the
Democratic ticket. In the third district
of the Twelfth ward of Scranton, just one
hundrod votes more than were polled were
returned for the Democratic candidates.
The returns from Old Forge were raised
thiity vot'.B ; those of Spring ltock ten;
those from Fell ten ; those from Union ten.
This much bus been proven and the court
has changed the count accordingly. As
the count h is been corrected and officially
promulgated by the court Mr. Kaiser, the
Republican candidate fer Recorder, is elec
ted by eleven majority ; Mr. McNtish's ma
jority has been about doubled, and the ma
jority for the Democratic State ticket has
been somewhat decreased, as has also
that of the few Democrats of the county
ticket who are elected."
The purpose of these frauds has, it is
true, been baffled ; but the fact remains
that they were perpetrated, and that
they were committed by Democrats to help
Democrats into olhee. This is a part of
the "reform" to which the Democracy would
fain introduce us ; and from all such "re
form" may the good Lord deliver us.
He who expects a friend without faults
will never find one.
