Did you obseve anything pecular about it? ) » '“Yes,” I replied, i i very peculiar for a preacher, for, knowing that Steve Clay’s powers are only advisory and not mandatory,I can’t see how he was willing to leave a false impression on the reader.” You are right about that,” answered Col- Wallace, “but the remarkable thing I refer to is his admission that he commit ted peijury. ” “I recollect his confession of chewing up ballots to falsify the count, but I do not remem¬ ber about perjury.” I ( Yes,” replied Col. Wallace “he stated he was election man¬ ager • Election managers are sworn officers. He who chews the ballot falsifies the count commits perjury and if not punished is out of the peniten¬ tiary by neglect. Sam Jones says lie chewed ballots while a man¬ ager.” And Col- Wallace added: A man who tampers wi h the bal¬ lots and confesses openly his fasifying tho count should be modest in prating about an hon¬ est ballot and a fair count and in criticising others who are try¬ ing to do light. Stove Clay wants a fair count aud has ad¬ vised that managers be selected from both parties. His pow¬ ers are advisory only and Sam Jones knows it.” Rambler. Macon Telegraph.
