In the 2d [irecimt, it appenretl that Begiratrar Rol>ert Taylor Brae not of himself other than to retard ami hinder voters. He almost posi? tively refused to vote colored men, and the voters continued to wait. The police were out in full force to overawe \oters and to force through the policemen's candidate, Capt chas IL Kp ps.

OF TEE PEACE: Samuel Britton, Michael Woods, W. W. Richardson. The "Dispatch" and "Times" an? nounced that they expect*' 1 to carry the Wart! and advised the Demo? crats to come out. Av the first precinct thc most out? rageous tactics were resorted to. Mr. Preston Delvin, a city otficinl 1|* who is limier indictment before tbe <( United Sta tee Grand Jury,was then* *' tO hindcraiid obstruct, and reinforc- ? ed by a ooterie of oiBcera.

Channing Carter EEO lan* b**n living at 1 J L Bater OtlCtfrt for more than three years, thc judeen of th** precinct, refused to vote him no oath as the law provide**. Etoberl Taylor, living at No. 8 K Duval Otreet, Waif said to be dis? franchised. Although lie was ii bonn tide voter, tale judges refused to vote him. Edward Harris at 1022 St. Ja mea Street, was denied the right of the elective franchise, no excuse being given than be had too many hollies. [fl Use 1st precinct. Mr. Creston Delvin, challenger, it was said that a bottle ot whiskey was passed around. This is the condition as it presents itself. All ol this was done in the interest of the policeinen'scandidiite. Capt. Charles IL Kpps. When the polia dosed a contention was held in the matter of a represen? tative to see the count at the Second Precinct, .Jackson Ward. Thc Independent Republican ele? ment selected their man and thc "Regular" Republicans did the same. Tiley were D. F. Turner, E*eO. for tlc fof mer and Mr. Itobert Mullock for the latter. Quite n sensation was canned bj the alleged discovery by Mr. Henty Layne of an at tempt to secret** ballots with au iden in Hew of stutling the ballot1 box during thc count. In the First IYecinet thc Regular Republican ticket was denied repre? sentation. Messrs. LbsWbI Stewart. Henry Moore and Clnreiice 1'ayt on represented the Independent Repub? lican wing. Mr. J. C. Smith's repre? sentatives were denied admission. When the ballot-box waa opened it ,vas bunn! that it had been stuffed. there being 014 ballots in the box. .vhile the poll-books showed that s had been casi AoCOTdU ng to law a man was aetected to be ? lind folded and draff out tat ? ts Aide; \\r. 1. irotested. Two of thc Democratic udges in accord.ince with their oat hs if office sustained 1 tic objection. Mr. lelvin was angry anti told them to uanage the whole altair then. All >f the ballots were returned to the ?ox. and Mr. Stewart blindfolded ?nd told to draw tbe ballots. Be brew sonic Democratic ami som*' '?'publican. 224 were taken from he box in this way. When the ema hiing votes wen counted, it Waal ouml that thisoverw helming Repu b ican lYccinct was Democratic by !4 majority-another example of lourbon fraud ami corrupt ion.
