THE JULIAN-REID CONTEST. r &lBMaaaasaaBW - - . - t1- " i- '- '

To the Voters of the Feurth Congressional District of, Indiana ; i --?- 1 j si tr.eb t.". s irfiii-uu iln tbejndianapolia Daily Jomofr of the 15th ultimo, there is a "Card'Vwgtt ed 4Nim. H. Johnson," relative to iihe late Congressional electfoii spiteful in character, undignified in languare, untrue in conclusion and if suffered to pass unanswered, taay be taken, aa' judgments are, by confession or default. r ; Mr. Johnson, sets out by saying that while the Democrats and traitorous Republicans, who mado themselves liewers of wood and drawers ;bf -water" for15 the Ku'Klnx Klan, were engaged in, the unsavory work.ofibutving their dead (fte'r-" rible employment), he deemed it hi duel ty to apprise ',f nends of an .tTrtcloas, conspiracy to 1 defeat 'Mr. 'Jultan by means of a spurious-ticket,- containing the names of all the Republican candi;; dates, except that of .George W".." Julian for -f which that of. John- S. .

Finally he' alludes to Mr B W.

J j Passing by all the-acrimonious " per sonalities of Mr: Johnson as tod unin rj teresting.toreadcra tq , be further noticed, I proceed to show that all this ; fus3 about spurious tickets and . stuffing the ballot be x is the mere figment of his I heat oppressed brain, gotnp to order for he benehtoiiMr. Julian, and to break his fall;' that the causes of contest .were mere immaterial i irregularities of elec tion offifiera--whieh did not invalttlnte the poir and, finally.' if they did, that , ",e ui,raunWwr u w j:u set Oflltafemf JudlclalljrlUthink I mate these propositions so plain tiiataa -, - - V .l r-., c . .honest , wayfaring . man, though a fool, The-peculiar friends of Mr. Jnliarl charge. that this ticket was got. up: .aud mixed-with the Republican tickets for the fraudulent nuriose -of.

They "Were1 got up 101 the coBttmeaetfor the jElepubiicans who had determined uot to .vote for' Mr.' Julian, and were - not mixed with others of imposed on any ! L '-vJ T ' T H 1 .

I and punished with such punishment as the most censcsrtous maywish. to inflict. But why, elaborate . this. matter ? JuJga JohHioni himself says: U VJN"otica 3was promptly given in Richmond of the existence of. these spurious tickets, and the rwalls word j' placarded with notices 'of thoMact sq early on telectioa day that lut few. of tliese Jickets could have been vo ted by mistake" Further: Isa c !Ju lian, in th$?Haditar', better .'known as the "Juljanj family organ,,l;ia reply ;to.a very silly, remark of the Telegram that (these, .tickets.;' did ;.- deceive "j - voters. spurns the charge and 1 savs f italicised fas he bus it):, "There pan be co doubt that'try,ew, here, or elsewhere,; voted these spurious tickets through mistake, weircalculated as thcy.Vere.to deceive. Nobpuywfloubts that the mass pf Ue said tickets . were stuffed. ' I hese exonerations, comirw from.thejsources Jhey do, should silence certain gentlemen, whose ears grew longer; on "account of this little ticket affair, than those of any ass that ever was imported from Spain; and it is to be hoped they may recover from the mobocratic hydrophobia under which they have so painfully labored; - .i4 ! 1 BALLOT 'BOX 8TDFEIHG. , v ' After cosing the polls at Engine Hall No 5 2, south of Main street, the Hall being cold, the Board adjourned, for more comfortable quarters, , to the office of Captain Lacey, in the second story of a building; on the : north side ' of , Main street, antl in the north precinct. Main street beijOg th& dividing; 4inet,.The of ficelia fitf back doo or back window in it, and is only accessible through a stairway from" the 'street. " Hungry and" fattgtiedwiasrecessl was agreed on'long enough to g j to an oyster -saloon and take a "hasty dish of sjpup." Both door and. box were carefully., locked, the inspector taking the key of one and one of. the judges that, of the other.... They left the office in a body and returned together, after an absence of thir'y or lorty minutes, and found everything : as - they had left it.- .Later in the night, still not being through, they again took a recess of -about thirty m inn tea for a like pur poserc3red the box -and door, as - before, saw nothing wrong on their return; finished 'counting? and adjourned sink dib." Is tt not absolutely certain therefore that jf the box was, stuffea at all, these officers did it or aided and abetted in it? r,.fAny ; pther. hypothesis involves a physical impossibility : Who knew there would be an adjourn- i meat from the Hall to Lacey' s office ? . Who knew there would be one or more recesses ?. at what time, and how long? Who could have entered the office and not have been seen by some one of. the multitude on the. street?. ,Wbo would have been willing to" take" ih6 risk of even.flry&gCitooaeI Who, in so ehcrt atlme, .could have . unlocked both door "and box, abstracted and replaceti.

such a number of ballots, and with such accuracy as to make no discrepancr between! the ballots And poll books ? Is the idea not so preposterous as -to preclude:, all .reasonable doubt,?, And U i, not; equally, preposteroBaWaasme thaf the officers of the election, .five ja numr ber three Republican all J voting'; for. Julian and two Democrats, ' ' would themselves do an act so devilish? They' are men who have not only - heretofore sustained "character for honestyr;bat' t were selected to ' conduct the i election because of their integrity and capacity. h Even Judge Johnson under j, his., highi pressure of excitement,": i,unwi!Uag ,to,,; impute dishonesty to them. Here is what he says: "I have no evidence that ' warranW me m charginJtbe inspector or; judgeV, and :tny r personal acquaint'' ance with them warrants 'me in acquit- ' ting thoni -of everything but great carelessness." Still more.- On theMonday after, the. election the Grand Jury met inp the ?court over which the , Judge,, presi ; -tleiL He appointed Capt. . Lacey, one of ;, tbe Judges of the" Election, Foreman of. the Jury. Pregnant withf the wrath of this assumed fraud, ho made ft" sjieciali ty of it, and ordered an investigation The officers poll books,., etc,, were -all.-b r o,u g ii tbefore, t U e in f,?.

And,, what isjatilt, more strange, even the- .traitorous , Ra..; publicans, who made themselves hewers of wood and drawers of water lor the Ku Klux Klan," were not indicted. But of this there is hd reliable certainty, 9' the Sheriff hasn't' been found. ' 1 '' '.' tt ' ; ikheoulauitiks or tbk ofkickus.., The causes or contest a j set forth in. the Judge's motion before the Board x( Canvassers ..will bo noticel, in their con-, secutive order, condensed as much as, possible, and suchi comments , added- aa are necessary to a full, understanding of the whole matter. There are six of them: ,. 1. Because .the ..Board holding the election'did not continue In. -'session . at the place of holding the election' until the votes were counted "out.' i That is true-already stated. ' - Nor -did : the Board in. the north- precinct continue, iqsession, at the, place of v hplding the elre- ? tiori, for they adjourned to a room in the ., stond story of the Hall, "and counted out the' votds there. "-The ; differance ia distance is the onlv- differance in ' fact. 1 The law is,: that the Board shall continue in session at tle place ot ,electioa till all the .votes , shall have , been., cauvassed, 'r lJtecause. the Board proclaimed tha result of the election ,:; before, they . bad , canvassed the votes cast f'r ail the offi-cer'roted!Cbr.-5-:'- Arliv-Ai -i JA 3 a Bv?casse thVBoard proclaimed the; result ol' thfV Vote1 for Governor' befdre; thej hndeotinted the-votes" cast ' for any;othf r -candidate. - Both these causes 'are substantially the same; iMvt' amount :to!; sothinf?. ,The fiteenth ..section., of the election law. directs, that the - iwlis shall be closed', at jsix; j o'clock, Tjiet twenty-, sixth authorizes the judges to open.uthai box and commence counting at any, time after four o'clock; and the twenty eightTa , says: "No clerk or judge of I anya. elec-cj lion shall vote after commencing to count the votes; nor publish anv' statement of the result' of their counting until, the election is closed," not after the Counting is closed.' There re Some teai sons for withholding .the result between .; four,, and; six o clock, and, belore ube i polls are closed; but rafter! that a there is.; neither .law nor reason for jfco ;-Hutl sup v pose the1 law by close -of ?.tlie. election,means the final proclamatioa:of the - re suit: At each poll, after Oft bfficers had , adjourned "from the place of holding the election as already Btated. the Republican and Democratic tickets were lu st separated i counted, and ; tbe result' made known, to the anxious. bit-loor crowd. ;4. Because the Board remov'ed the ; ticketsrout of the precinct, and there couhtedthem.; 'That is true,' as" already stated.10Bat should the whole- poll1 be 3 losfbeeause the judges overlotskcd tha newj provision of the law requiring them ! to count the votes at the place'of election ' 1 efore adjournment? Should it'be reject ted. without some evidence of fraud? . Is the mere fact that a cert-sin favorite candidate did not receive as many votes as. some over zealous but deceived 'friends,, supposed he would? After' all, .is the question not, was the count honestly made? "And if so,' should it not be accept ted?; ""' ; .;. ';.-". rl -7.. :. " 5. Because no separate registry "of the south precinct was made, and published. That is also true, but equally so as to the north precinct.; One registryonly was made of the votorsof the entire ftownsbip which was 'published, And a"' copy posted np at each place of holding' lh election;:".'
