"Washington Election" - column 4. "Mr. Wallach, Opposition, was beaten by Berret, Democrat, for Mayor of Washington, fourteen votes. Wallach has brought suit in the City Court, and alleged that 200 fraudulent votes were cast for Berret, and an almost equal number of legal votes refused because they were for Wallach."
"A murderous mob took the field, and were consived [?] at by the police, who were Democratic. Buchanan and his officials took the field for Barret. The rowdies attacked and stoned Wallach's residence, and fired pistols and other firearms against his house, destroying the windows and injuring the doors. Many persons were wounded, and some of them must die, as stated by the Star of the 5th inst."
"In the seventh ward, the Democrats carried the election by the use of fraudulent naturalization papers, in the hands of foreigners at work upon the public buildings. A more corrupt Administration is not to be found in existence."
"Ratification in Connecticut" - column 5. "A meeting for the ratification of the Union nominations made at Baltimore, was held at New Haven, on Wednesday evening. ..."
"Mr. Henry, of Tennessee, in the course of his speech described the sectional character of the Republican party, and pictured the tremendous ruin that must surely follow the election of its candidates. He showed the mutual dependence of the North and South."
"The Constitutional Union party, he said bears the olive branch -- the signal and token of peace that will follow the success of its candidates."
Thanks, rusty, for the fantastic quotes!
You will see where I used & gave you credit for one, elsewhere.
I think we can be forever thankful that Democrats don't do anything like this today, do they?
