Importing Votes.
The clique in this place, are much alarmed-they fear the defeat of their favorite pets, Batzner Glidwell and Quick.
We have heard so much said by these partisan leaders during this canvass, about election frauds and imported votes, that we begin to fear there may be some truth in the rumor that they are importing votes into the County to save their pets, and the district to save somerset Holman.
Keep a close watch friends at every voting place-mark these itinerant wanderers--challenge every unknown voter -make him take the prescribed oath, and if he commits perjury, put him through on the fast line.
