THE OFFICIAL VOTE.
Three Wards and Five Towns Thrown
00ts

Upon this page will be found the official
vote at the recent county election, as can
Vassed by the County Clerk and two Justices
according to Law. The returns In msny Of the
towns we're made up Eost slo7en1y and care
1esely, and in others with entire disregard of
the duties Of judges and clerks as defined BY
the statutes. In the Tenth Ward not one of
the judges or clerks was sworn, and the bal
lots we're not returned, or It the former were
sworn, it does not appear on the poll book Is
the statute expressly provides. In the Third
ard Ninth wards, the poll.books do not show
any certidcstio1s Of the oaths. In South Chi
cago aid Darlington, the return sheets were
not signed. In Lake, the clerks we're not
sWcrn, and the same is true OF Niles and Lv
ons- In the official List We have inserted The
votes Of theae places but they are not included
in the totaJs.
There Ia not shadow Of excuse for such
gross carelessuess. Not only does the law de-
fine ec1esrlythe duties Of judges and CLERKS, but
the poll books are provided with blanks far
the osths and returns, 30 plain and simple that
one must take infinite pains and trouble to
make mistake. The administering Of
an cath Is an imperative necessity in the most
petty action before Legislative, Judicial or In.
