Iresentative IN the Eighth Representative
District.
Eleventh Election District, being the poll
at Marysyille. J the returns show fatal de-
feat Instead OF conducting the election by
ballot, 1t must have been held uivd voce an
the manner in which each person voted is
recorded at once opposite his name. As
the Proclamation required the election to be
by ballot, and the tickets to be counted after
closing the pools, it is impossibleto sustain
this return. 1t is accordingly set aside.
The resiine of. the District -glves M F.
Conway a majority for Council and he is
declared elected.
In the Ninth Representative District the
Marysville poll being set eside, the returns

and that the vote for him was east. under a
m stake of the name of Palmer McCards
ney, slight difference in names should
always be disregarded to carry out the will
of the voter, but the difference here is too
great to be reeonciled. If these facts are
shown as alleged the vote for Solomon Me-
CARNEY is nullity aud the certificate will be
granted to Frascis S. Marshall.

TENTH COUNCIL DISTRICT.
Besides the Protest
fled against the Leavenworth poll for illegal
voting, it appears that the Judges purpose
ly struck out. a material part of the prescrib-
ed form of Return, to wit that the votes
we're polied by e..lawful resident voters
This Poll is set aside and new election
for Re presentatives becomes necessary
In the 18th Election District the protest
filed has been withdrawn, and the result
stands upon the return of the Judges who
conducted the election, and counter state
ment of the Judges appointed by the Pro-
clamation, who after having taken the oath
aud entered upon the performance of their
duties, abandoned the. polls and left the-
ground because as they say large num-
bcr- OF non-residents were on the ground:
dannanfiine t, vote and ehstrIlcfincr the nolls-
and because 40 lawful votes were presented.
This is not protest as provided for by the
Proclamation, and even If regarded as
report OF. return by them relative to the per-.
formance oftheif official duties, does not dis
close sufficient reason for racating their
posts. They were not driven away by force.
IEillegai votesfwere offered it was their du--
lty to remain and. reject them. If the polls'
were ehstructed it was their business al
lleast.to endeayor to clear them and. .at all
events 10 remain at their post In tho
performance of their duty until the tiIAe
/ for closing the polls, unless driven a.
way by violence: The place they left Kas
fisled BY other Judges appointed according
to the Proclamation and their retuEn which
is ia form and no protest before me shewss
