Several attempts again made TO throw ont the
entire District by accepting the blank paper as the re-
ti.is Of the Canyassers.
Mir. BRADLEY supported this course, on the ground
that il was an act of Justice TO the people. He said
that the Board was to allow the Canvassers OF this
District TO make out their returns and send them now
It would be bad example to set for future elections
Ii WAS finally agreed that the matter be made u spe-
cial order for Friday next, at II o'clock.
After transaciiug further unlmportant business
the Board adjourned.
