objected to their' voting on them ; all

for the reason that my challenge ; was
not sustained by the judge and the in

useless, as the votes 'would. be taken,
and there was no swearing any more of
them; I toldrone man he could not vote
after saying he had been - nine Months
'in the State; he' , Went out and Came
back,- . saying he was mistaken, and
that he understood MO to ask how long
he had been in the county; 'he then
said he was in two or three years; another
said he was 19 years old; I handed him
back his naturalization papers amid
tax receipt and he left;' he did Mit vote;

gineer ; I am one of the a nt engi
neers on the Tyrone a d Clearfield
railroad ; July 28 :and ugust , lB the
work was staked out ; the first section
west of Philipsburg was staked' — the
part in Centre coup ty-was ready August,
19 ; there are no swathps in that part in
Centre County ; the work could have
been done at anytime ; the swamp
part is on the Clearfield county side;
there is a shanty 3,soCr_feet from the end
of the line • there,is a small .portion.of
the land a fittle swampy ; the shanty
is quite convenient ; the next one is
one mile from tile work ; the - distance
to the shanties is nearer that to Phil
ipsburg. .
Thus were the laborerifalong this"raAl
road moved from :their shanties ; in'
Clearfield county (which were quite as
convenient to their work as the -hotels
in Centre County, to which they = Were
taken), itnd furnished with fraudulent
naturalization papers to defeat
-the' will_
of the qualified 'voters of a 'Senatorial .
district.. The' shanties of- Clearfield
county were emptied, and the male in
habitants being moved to Centre county,
were furnished wiith' naturalization pa
peis, coffee-colored; with - tax receipts,
and -with Democratic tickets. Thus
triply armed they were marched to- the
polls under the guidance of Mark Lede
and•Miehael O'Meara. A.nd it, is a re
markable fact that four days after the
election not one of this precious gang
was to be found it the neighborhood.—
These ready-made citizens had 411 gone
back..,te Clearfield deuntt, and 'Shugart
Was " elected? to the. tate Senate by
virtue of perjury, colonization and the
strongest of coffee.
Similar frauds were perpetrated in..
Philadelphia, as 'proven in Court on a
Contest over the elebtion of City offi
cers.
If forged naturalization'. papers Were
freety_nsed in' '1867, we - may be sure
there will be no lack of them In 1868.
