The dispatches gave a fair synopsis
of the row which Senator Mahone crea

account: Demo¬
There was an angry crowd of

of the polls. At 4 p. m. his vehicle
drew up ab the Fourth ward voting
place, at which there was a crowd of
whites and blacks, in number about 100.
The Senator took his stand near the
polls and watched the vote. At about
this time a negro who had been around
the precinct ail day was persuaded by
the Democrats to vote with them. He
was handed a Democratic ticket, and
advanced to deposit Ins ballot. W ben
he gave his name a negro clerk used
some language which was in the nature
of au insult, and the Democrats resent
ed.it.
“Which ticket doyou want to vote ?”
they asked, and began to ckister around
him. said the
