584 - L. Oct. 21; ed:2/1 - The "Copperheads" have been raising a tremendous
cry of fraud because the vote of Indianapolis was greatly increased over
that of previous elections, which was 12 per cent more than the enrollment.
Ten counties had three per cent of excess over enrollment, giving majorities
to "Copperheads." "If 'what is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander,"
there is ground for belief that there has been 'Copperhead' fraud in these
Counties." (3)
