ELECTION FRAUDS IN DENVER.
An Illustration of the Esse With
Which “Msjorities” Were Msde.
The evidence of fraud In Denver
alone has been sufflclent to ap
pall any clttien of the well-grounded
belief In the sanctity of the ballot and
the purity of the American election
under the Australian voting system.
The fraudulent work was nearly all
carrried on In the lower district of
Denver, for years the stronghold of
the city's Democratic machine, known
as the “Big Mitt." The registration
system olfored no protection to the
public, as these lists were outrageous
ly padded with fictitious names. Re
peaters were herded from one polling
place to another, voting the fraudu
lent names. If a Republican offldal
protested, he was given to understand
that the protest was of no avail. If he
persisted he was thrown out of the
polling places. Ballot-boxes were stun-
ed with fraudulent votes, handwriting
experts haring found boxes In which
the majority of the ballots were in the
handwriting of one man. Appeals to
the police were unavailing, for the
officers of the law were In many
cases actually helping perform the
jwork of wholesale theft. “Billy

6. To converse with guards, except

sary wants.
7. To be insolent or insulting in
the use of language.
8. To absent themselves from All

9. To crowd upon the surgeon,

der.

Office Ohio Penitentiary, Columbus,
December 12, 1863,
trict of Denver always delivered as
many votes as the “Big Mitt”
bosses desired, was on hand, his hip
pockets having the peculiar bulge
that denotes the gun fighter. I.ater,
when Green appeared before the su
premo court to be fined and sentenced
to six months in jail for contempt,
those guns were taken from him by
the bailiff. This blow at his dignity
caused the “Big Mitt’s" most efficient
lieutenant, more sorrow than the mere
prospects of a few months in Jail.
The first ballot box opened by the
supreme court, which proved a veri
table “Pandora's box” for the election
thieves, was from Precinct 9, Ward 5
—one of the lower precincts of the
city. Iu this box the ballots were
found as follows: Democratic votes,
289; Republican votes, 79; Socialist
votes, 4; Democratic popularity, 210.
The vote should have been returned,
according to the supreme court's hand
writing expert who examined the bal
lots: Republican votes, 116; Demo
cratic votes, 169; Socialist votes, 6;
Democratic popularity, 68.

SlMPLON TUNNEL IS OPENEO
This Tunnel Now Connect. Switzer
land and Italy Via the Alps.
Rome, April 5.—The Simplon tun
net. the longest In the world, was In'
augurated Saturday when from the
Swiss and Italian sides the first train,
passed through, meeting In the centre,
where there was an Iron door, which
originally presented the overflow of a
torrent of hot water, and which today
was oponed for the first time, 'ihe
weather at'the entrance of the tun
nel was spring-like, though the sur
rounding mountains were covered
with snow, but once Inside the tem
perature became verv hlsh.
Engineer Brandon, who had direct
ed the work of the tunr.el. conducted
the Italian train, which part of the
way was lighted by miners with lan
terns. The train from the Italian end
was li'st to reach the iron door, hut
a little later the train from the Swiss
end was heard on tho other side of
the door. There was a brief time
spent in communicating through the
door by means of hammering, and flu-
ally the door was knocked down amid
frantic applause and cries of “Long
live Switzerland!” and “Long live
Italy!" Bands played tho Italian roy
al march and the Swiss anthem and
the two parties embraced and kissed
each other.
Engineer Brandau shook hands
with Engnccr Rosnmund, the director
of tho work on the Swiss side, and
the Italian Bishop Noveara ombraced
the Swiss Bishop Sion. The latter
then preached a short sermon, In the
course of which ho said: “The church
blesses progress." In the name of
God he blessed the tunnel.

Congressman is Not in the Race for
Governor.
Douglas, Ga., April 5.—Congress
man Brantley, of the Eleventh district,
has set at rest all of the gossip about
tho possibility of hi3 becoming a can
didate for governor. Mr. Brantley
said:
"Nothing could Induce ine to enter
a scramble to become governor of
Georgia, unless the whole people of
the state would agree that South
Georgia should furnish a man for gov
ernor. Then, in that case, solely for
the purpose of representing my sec
tion and uniting the people of the
state, I would consent to enter the
race, but as matters stand, I like the
office the people have given me and
have no desire to become governor.
When a man is elected governor and
fills out his term bis work Is done, but
In congress there Is an opportunity
to do more for the state and section
In continual service and some possi
bilities of advancement I am con
tent with the position the people have
given me.”

Justice of the Peace Jenkins' Report
to Tattnall Grand Jury.
Reidsvlllc, Ga., April 4.—Probably
one of the most unique reports ever
made to a grand jury was haudod In
to tho Tattnall county grand Jury to
day by Justice of the Peace John H.
Jenkins, when he put In his books for
examination. Judge Jenkins presides
in the “Hog Wallow’’ district, which
embraces the town of Manassas, and
has not had a criminal case In his
court during tho last two years. He
is well known by a large number of
Savannah residents, many of whom
first saw the light in the “Hog Wal
low” district of Tattnall county. The
report was as follows, and it is need
less to say that the books were pass
ed and approved at once:
"Nothing doing, nothing done.
Had no fighting, had no fun.
Had no rucus, had no fuss.
Everything slrene with us.”

Our competitors wonder why we prosper. There’s no secret about it.
Plain as can be. We buy and sell for cash. We sell good reliable goods.
We have not but one price and that the lowest for cash in this town or
