Election Frauds In Texas.

Texas Sittings. ! Late in the afternoon of election day in Austin, Texas, a prominent candidate asked one of his strikers if he had voted an insane old negro, who lived in Wheatyille in the sub‘urbs of Austin. “Yes,’* replied the striker, "I have voted him in two wards and was going to vote him again when the opposition got him away and have been voting him every since. “It’s an outrage” howled the candidate. It’s against tne law to vote a crazy negro.” “I know it, but I can’t get him away from them now. However, they’ll not make anything by in, for I'll kill his vote with an imported Mexican I’ve got staked out in the chaparral," replied the striker, whc is going to be a deputy if his candidate is elected.
