THE ELEVIAUN FRAUD
EXCITING SESSION OF THE KINGS COUNTY CAN
VASSERS—GROSS FRAUDS IN THE RETURN OF
o@EE SIXTH WARD, FIRST DISTRICT—-AN IN
DIGNANT PROTEST UNHEEDED-~DEMOCRATIC
SUPERVISORS INDORSING BALLOT-STUFFING.
The Board of Kings County Canvassers reas
sembled yesterdsy afternoon and canvassed the returns
from the Fourth and Fifth Wards. When the return for
the lst District of the Sixth Ward was reached, Super
visor Harmon moved that the return be rejected, and
that the Board decline to canvass it. Sapervisor Howell
mmediately sprang to his feet and clalmed that the mo
sion was ont of order. The Chairman, Supervisor Btill
well, decided that the motion was in order, and Mr. How
ell appealed from the decision, which was overruled by
svoteof 11109. Mr Harmon presented a protest. Bu
perviser Newman then moved that the protest be re
seived and placed on file, and that the Board proceed to
esnvass the return from the Ist District of the Sixth
Ward. He cluimed that the duties of the Board were
‘adwply of 8 ministerial character; that the return should
be canvassed, and, if evidence of frand was discovered,
a judicial inquiry cogld be made by the courts. Soper
visor Harmon then read the following protest:

Rupervicor Harmon moved to amend the motion by
striking out the words proceed to canvass,” and insert
tng the words “reject to canvass.” He produced the
poll-hsts from the distriet und displayed the list of 501
pames written in the same hand, and withont a blot or
serateh, and crediting the parties with all having voted
the solid eight ballots. He sald that the list was ample
evidence of frand done by sone expert penman, and that
the names conld not have been written after the polls
opened. He vead portions of an affidavit made by u
resident of the district named French, who testified that
he voted soon after the poll opened; was, in fact, the
eighth voter, and that when he deposited bis ballot there
were but seven other ballots In the boxes, Yet his name
wpe om the poll-list as the fice hundred and eighth
mun. Mr. Harmon also showed the remarkable difter
ene in the handwriting on the list after the 500th name.
Toe corer were clean and skillful, the latter poorly
written, seratehed, and blotted.
Supervisor Newman raised a point of order, that the
Jos list did not concern the Board of Canvassers. The
Ihairman decided the point of order well taken, and that
the return should be canvassed.
Mr. Harmon said that three years ago the Board had
turown out 2 districts, in which far less evidence of
fraud thau in this case had been shown. The most
sgnorant man could see that the poll-list had been ge
Jared fn advance, and orboration Counsel DeWitt had
“lured that no man, unless he was a knave or a fool,
would presume to canviss the return. The return was s
fraud, and gotten up for the i of cheating the
honest voters, The Hoard should not for an instant
wountensnes such a thing, The evidence of fraud was
#0 plain that any man, not a fool, could see it. He ap
pealed Ww the honest wembers to vote to cast out this
peturn. Any man who dared record himself in favor of
secopting the return deserved to be an allen for the rest
of his life. The courts have decided that where evi
dences of fraud are apparent, the Board of Canvassers
mast reject the return made. The frand was very ap
Jlent, 80 much so that they might as well copy naoes
m the tombstones fn Greenwood, and claim them us
Bixth Ward voters.
Tho Chairman said that it could be sent back, and the
800 nates be stricken off, Mr. Harmon ghought not, and
eald that he kuew the courts would decide that the
district should be thrown out alwgether, Mr. Newman
agala asserted that the Board could act vy in a minis
Serial capacity, and that he was not to be diverted from
Supe ministerial duty and to have trap sprung on
UN
Mr. Harmon's amendment, rejecting the returg, was
lost by vote of 13 to 8.
Mr. Harmen then moved that the 1osjesiorm and Can
VHsHCrY from the district be summoned before the Board
$0 expla a. the return. The wotion was defeated by a
vote of Ho 3
Mr. Howell then moved the adoption of the motion to
Savas, the district. Before the vote wy tare, Bu
sor Harmon again appealed to the members to throw
out the return, and send the guilty Joriona to the Bate
Prison. The motion to cauvass the return was carried
by the following vote
Afirnative~Supi®iors Hutchins. Kollmever, Devvr, Fletcher,
Weveliv, Rearing, Keati Hopkins, Foley, Martense, Newman. Howell,

Throughout the up-town districts complaints
grow dally more bitter concerning the quality of the gas
furnished by the Manhattan and Metropolitan Gas Com
panies. These companies enjoy the privilege of tearing
np our streets almost at will for the purpose of furnish
ing a public convenience, which after all they do not fur
nish, and Jeevan, others from furnishing. Legislative
inquiry will, next Winter, doubtless improve their con
duct, if the wholesome fear of such inquiry does not pre
viously produce the same result.
