LONDON , July 27. The Yachting World ,
Issued today , contains a long article on
Shamrock's chances In the content for the
America's cup. Starting upon the a trump
tion thnt Vigilant and Brltnnnla were eo.ual
the writer argues that Shamrock showed
Itself to be capable of beating tlio Britan
nia in a moderate breeze twenty-five to
twciily-sJx minutes over a thirty-mile
course. With time allowance Sham-
rock'n net superiority would lie fifteen to
twenty minutes , As Defender's superiority
over Vigilant In Bulling the same course Is
estimated nt elx minutes and Columbia's
su | > orlorlty over Defender Is assumed to be
tluee minutes , it is estimated that Colum-
bla'ti Hupertorlty over Vigilant Is nine min
utes. Therefore , according to the Yachting
World's urticlo , there uro excellent grounds
for the beJIet that In the preHt-nt condition
of both yachts Shamrock will win.

The attention of the members of the com
mittee having been celled by citizens of Yorl :
county to alleged frauds In the recount of
ballots cast on the constitutional amendments -
monts submitted to the electors of this state
at the general election held In November ,
1896 , It was decided to first take up this
subject for Investigation. AVc , having been
given Information that testimony would bo
offered showing fraud In the recounting of
the ballots upon these amendments , both by
the recount commission appointed by e\-
Qovornor Silas A. Horcorab. under authority
given by house roll No. 6 , passed by the
legislature nt Its twenty-fifth session , and
also by the legislative commission , con
cluded that since the first recount commis
sion had been appointed by Governor Hoi-
comb and since Secretary of State I'orter
was , by the terms of said act. made ex-
olllclo n member of the commission , It was
proper , before taking any testimony with
reference to such recount , that notice should
bo given them. Accordingly nn oral notice
was given to Mr. I'orter of the time and plaro
when the meetings of the commlttco would
bo held , nnd a written notice was served
upon Mr. Holconvb to the same effect , a copy
of which notice so served upon Governor
Holcomb Is attached to nnd hied with the
transcript of nil the testimony offered dur
ing the Investigation.
At the first sittings of the committee a
number of citizens of York county appeared ,
were sworn and testified with reference to
the changing of ballots , anil thereby the
changing of the result of the expressed will
of the electors of that countv.
It appears that In pursuance to the In
structions of the secretary of state given
by vlrtuo of house roll No. 5 the county
cFerk of York county forwarded by express
the ballots and poll books of the election
referred to In said bill to the secretary of
state , which ballots were afterward counted
by this recount commission.
The evidence disclosed that on the night
prior to the commencement of such recount
James H. Edmlsten , state oil Inspector ;
George W. Blalio , member of the recount
commission appointed by the governor ; Ed
ward L. Simon , an assistant to the com
mission , and one or two others whose names
the committee wore unable to procure , met
at the ofllce of the oil Inspector , and after-
having darkened the windows , that light
might not be seen from the outside , Mr.
Edmtstcn went to the ofllce of the secretary
of state , whore all ballots had been depos
ited upon their receipt from the various
county clerks , and soon returned with a
package of ballots which were taken Into a
vault In the offlco that was used by the
parties. After the ballots wcro opened the
work of changing and marking was com
menced. This was done as the ovldcnco
both by witnesses and the inspection of the
ballots discloses. Ballots marked by a cross
at the top , where the voter by one cross
could express bis opinion for or against all
of the amendments , and which had been
voted "No , " wore changed by placing a
cross after the word "Yes" at the top of the
ballots , and another cross after the word
"Yes" opposite the amendment to Increase
the number of judges of the supreme court ,
and the two "Yes's" so marked , under
a rule which it appears had been adopted by
the recent commission , overcame the one
"No , " and the ballot instead of being a
negative ballot , as It was when cast by the
elector , became an affirmative ballot In'favor '
of .the amendment.
Flud % VIiolc alft''Forsrcry
It further appears from the evidence that
unused ballots which wcro enclosed in the
envelope by the Judges and clerks of election
when they were returned to the county
clerk , some of which had been endorsed on
the back by the- Judges , and some of which
had no such endorsement , wore filled rut
and counted for the amendment. In several
Instances in McFaddcn precinct , in the
county of York , witnesses were brought before -
fore the commission , who testified that the
signatures of the Judges on the back of the
balfots had been forged. In pursuing this
method of changing the will of the electors
It appears that for four nights tbo witness
Simon carried the packages of ballots from
the ofllce of the secretary of etato , obtaining
entrance thereto by giving a secret rap un
derstood by Mr. Kelsey , the Janitor who was
In charge , the rap consisting of three dis
tinct knocks , down through the basement
and up through a stairway through a trap
door into the room whcro the ballots were
being changed.
The ovldenco discloses thai in McFadden
precinct , in the county of York , the Judges
and clerks of election rsturned fifty-two
votes In favor of the amendment and sov-
enty-ono votes against the amendment. The
envelope containing the harlots from that
precinct upon an Investigation by the com
mittee was found to contain 202 ballots and
nn examination of them by a witness who
testified before the committee disclosed that
there wore 134 of these ballots marked yes
and 34 no ; that 44 ballots that had been
changed in the manner described by using
a cross after the "yes" at the top , and the
"yes" opposite the amendment to increase
the Judges , and thereby overcoming under the
rule of the commission the necatlvo ' DO. "
In the city of York , and in the First ward
the poll books that were Identified by the
Judges who presided at this election show
that 103 votes were cast in favor of the
amendment and 28 votes airalnst it. The
package containing the balfots from this
ward , upon being opened , were found to bavo
therein 109. Of these there were 164 marked
In favor of the amendment and only 8
against , and there were twenty-seven of the
ballota that were marked In this peculiar
manner by two "yes's" to overcome the ono
"no. "
In the Second ward of the same city , as
shown by the- poll books , nnd as testified to
by the Judges of that election , it appears
that 124 votes were cast for the amendment
nnd 30 against It. The package containing
the ballota when opened showed 150 "yes's"
and 28 "no's. " In the Third ward of the
same city the poll books Identified by the
judges of election contained a record of 04
votes for the amendment and 23 against it.
The ballots when counted showed 123 votes
for the amendment nnd none against. In
the Fourth ward of tbo same city the poll
books identified by the Judges of this election
showed 114 votes for the amendment and 25
against it. The package containing the bal
lots cast at that election bad therein US ;
of thcso 143 were for the amendment. 14
against nnd 2 blank , with sixteen ballots
marked with double X'B. as previously de
scribed , the object being , under tbo rule to
count the ballots for the amendment and to
overcome an X opposite the "no" by two
X'B opposite the word "yes. "
Evidence In Couduilrc.
Irrespective of the oral testimony given by
the witness Simon , who described the man
ner of the marking and the method pursftd
by tbo men engaged in this fraud , tbo bal
lots themselves upon an inspection clearly
and conclusively chewed that they had been
changed. Taking the figures above given ,
It Is plain that In this one precinct in York
county and in the four wards of the city of
York the number of votes recorded by the
commission In favor of the amendment > vns
largely increased from that returned by the
judges and clerks of ejection. This commit *
tee has earnestly sought to obtain the tally
sheets used both by the recount commission
appointed by tbo governor and tbo legis
lative recount commission , but has been un
able to do so , and therefore It unable to
report to you the number of votw rccoideil
from these different preslnots by such com
mission either for or agalnut ( be amend-
ments.
There baa been evidence offered teforo
the committee touching the manner of re
counting the ballots under the e'coad com
mission which dlwlota that ballots were
counted more than once , end were also
counted for the amendments whether the
will of the voter as expressed was for or
against the same. The refusal upon the
part of the officials of tbU state to appear
before the committee to testify or to give
any Information In their possession , him
made our task In this respect most difficult'
Thcso charge * hnvo been made ; they
have been sworn to by witnesses nt meeting *
of the committee which were open to the
public and * ere of ouch a grave character
as to reflect upon ( ho honor and integrity
of the men who nro said to hnvo been en
gaged In this nefarious crime. Yet , not
withstanding this , these men have refused
to appear and give their evidence. The
committee finds from the testimony that the
first recount commission appointed by Gov
ernor Holcomb herd Its session behind closed
doors ; the public were not permitted to 1m
present nnd their work was stopped by nn
Injunction from the court , and therefore that
which they might have done had they been
permitted to continue we nro not able to
ascertain.
It Is shown by the ovldenco that thla
method of ro-marklng the ballots was pur
sued by the commission in twenty-one coun
ties of the state , nnd ono witness , Mr. Hed-
lund , who was n member of the commis
sion , testified that the vote In Hall county
ns made out by this commission was 2,421
nrtlrmatlvo votes , being about SOO more than
the vote ns returned by the Judges nnd clerks
of election In thnt county In favor of the
amendments. There was testimony offered
before the committee to the effect that n
meeting had been held nt the homo of Gov
ernor Holcomb prior to the convening of
the legislature of 1SA7 nt which a bin mi-
thorlzlng the appointment of this recount
commission w'as passed ; that officers who
held their appointment from him ns gov
ernor wcro not only cognlznnt of but nonio
of them participated In this recount. Thnt
the private secretary of the governor knew
that changes of these ballots wcro being
made. These public officers , who , by the
sworn testimony of witnesses , wcro charged
with being aware of the re-marking of these
ballots wore requested to appear before the
committee , but refused ; ex-Governor Hoi-
comb , however , sent n signed statement in
which ho denies In tote all charges made.
Before , however , this communication was
sent by him to the commlttco ho had been
notified that no testimony had been or would
be received by us except from witnesses who
were under oath , nnd who submitted to
such examination an the committee might
desire to make or direct to bo mado. Denton -
ton Mnrot , the governor's private nccrotnry ,
scut to the committee or loft at the LInctim
hotel for the committee n letter enclosing
nn affidavit denying his connection with
this matter. The letter was dated on the
17th day of July nnd ho stntcd thnt , not
having found the committee In session , ho
was unnblo to appear before thoin. The
facts arc , and the record submitted here
with shows , that the 17th nnd 18th days of
July the commlttco wns in session at 'he
Lincoln hotel ; that on the 19th It wns In
the city of York , and thnt on the 20th t'ay
of July It was again in session nt Lin
coln.
Simon's TcMtlmoiiy Corroborated.
Wo nro nwaro that the witness Simon ,
having confessed that ho was a party to
this crime , stands In the light of n wit
ness whoso testimony should bo received
with caution , but the Inspection , ns here
inbefore stated , of the ballots showing that
changes had been mnde In them from the
condition in which they were when counted
by the judges nnd clerks of election , nnd the
testimony of the county clerk of York county
nnd his deputy to the effect that thcso bal
lots were never opened whllo In his cus
tody , has led the committee to the unaltera
ble conclusion that the ballots were changed ,
nnd that they must hnvo been changed by
some ono othar than the county clerk of
York county. The description given by the
witness Simon with reforcnco to the meth
ods used In the marking of these balfots
was before the committee previous to the
opening of the packages containing the bal
lots and therefore heforo either Mr. Simon
or the committee had inspected them. When
the ballots wcro opened the manner in which
they were marked and their appearance
clearly corroborated the testimony previously
given by this witness. Wo repeat that this
committee would have been glad to have
bad the ofllcers whose names have been con
nected with this fraud to appear before them ,
but they refused ; denied our authority ,
and by such refusal prevented us from hav
ing the benefit of their testimony , nnd by
their example influenced others to follow
in the read of men high in public position ,
and likewise disputed the authority of the
commlttco and refused to obey Its com
mands. r
In closing this branch of our Investigation
wo deslro to say td' ou to whom wo were
directed to report , that It unquestionably ap
pears that a'crlmo , the magnitude of which
which we cannot command language to de
scribe , was planned and partially executed
with a view of changing the constitution
of this etato by declaring or counting as
carried the amendment to the constitution
that tbo voters at the polls had failed to
ratify in the manner prescribed by the con
stitution itself.
If the fundamental law of our great state
can bo changed by the public ofllcers of
the state , or even by others , when it is
their duty to sco that no such change takes
place , In a manner different from that pro
scribed for a change in such law. then in
deed are the liberties of the citizens of our
commonwealth in danger. Ho who may steal
our money takes that which by Industry and
economy we may again accumulate ; but he
who changes the law upon which our rights
and liberties rest In one respect may change
It In another , until that which was tbo
most liberal of republican governments be
comes the most despotic. This matter deserves -
serves from you , sir , the most careful con
sideration and the power given to you by
vlrtuo of your offlco should bo exercised to
discover the guilty parties nnd to see that
swift punishment -visited upon them ,

The twenty-fourth session of the legisla
ture of the state of Nebraska , by house roll
No. 632 , a bill making appropriation for cur
rent expenses for the blennlum , appropriated
tbo sum of $1,500 for house rent for the
governor. The twenty-fifth session of the
legislature by house roll No. 614 also appro
priated for the purpose of house rent for
the governor the sum of { 1,500 for the blen
nlum. Complaint having been made to the
committee that some of this sum had been
misappropriated , evidence in relation to the
same was board , and from tbo ovldenco wo
find ; that the first two vouchers drawn
against this fund thus created were each
for the sum of $180 , each purported on its
face to bo for tbrco months' house rent ;
the warrants" in payment thereof being
drawn to A. C. Crandelf. Thcso vouchers
were , to say the least , irregular in that
the first , drawn May 2 , was for rent to
July 1 , 1895 , whllo the second , drawn July
11 , 1895 , was for rent to October 1 , 11-35 ,
thus paying the bills for runt before they
matured.
The committee further find that from
about the 1st of October. 1S95 , to the end
of his term of office , the governor occupied
a rctldonco on A ntreet In the cltr of Lin
coln , owned by Mrs. 0. A. Could , nnd for
which he paid a rental of $30 per month ,
which sum was paid monthly at tbo conven
ience of the governor , and to the entire
satisfaction of Mrs. nould ; that during the
time he occupied said residence as governor
ho presented vouchers In his own nnmo
amounting to (1,943.20 , three of which ,
amounting to $710 , were not sworn to as
required by law , for the payment of which
the state auditor issued his warrants on the
Etato treasurer.
The commlttco was unabfe to procure the
attendance of A. 0. Crandell , to whom thu
first two warrants were issued , to ascertain
tbo amount actually paid to him for rent ,
but giving the benoflt of the doutt to tbo
vouchers as filed , and admitting that ? GO
pur month was the amount of rent actually
paid by him , it will be seen that 1773.20 of
the amount set apart for tbo payment of
houbo rent has been misappropriated by
Governor Holcomb and your committee
would recommend that your excellency re
fer this matter to the attorney general with
Instructions to take such stops ns may be
necessary to recover from Mr. Holcomb the
amount thus misappropriated.
