names were on your ticket as candidates for House of Dele-
gates ?

Answer. I attended said election November 6,1866, offered
to vote, but the Judges refused my ticket, and said I could not
vote, giving me no reason whatever except they said my name
was on the list, having asked Mr. Kitzmiller if it was; the
names oi the parties on my ticket as candidates for House of
Delegates were Mr. Devecmon, Wm. A. Bryden, John Mc-
Elfish, George W. McCulloh and Patrick Hammil.

1st Question. Do you know anything about the list you
mentioned.

Answer. I do not, the Judges did not show it to me; I did
not register in 1865, because I did not suppose they would let
me register, was busy and did not apply, others like me had
applied and could not register.
