WarmOth's Brilliant Little Game
How He Made His Point, with Four
Aces against Him.
An extra this afternoon of the Times has
the following:
Yesterday the Returning Board met ac-
cording to law In the Governors office, to
act up IN the returns of the late election.
There were present Gov. Warmoth, Lieut..
Gov. Pinchback, acting Secretary Of State
Heron, and Senator Lynch. After organ
iZing, it was moved that Lieut.. Gov. Pinch
back having been a candidate in the late
election, was ineligible to discharge the du-
ties Of member of the Returning Board.
Lieut., Gov. Pinchback ecquiesced in the
decision on the presentation of the opinion
of Chief Justice Ludeling that such was the
law, and then It tired from the Board. A
like motion was made in regard to Senator
Anderson: Thereupon Gov. Yarmouth
suggested as Senator Anderson was absent,
that it would be better to postpone action
in bis case until he could reach the city.
During the sitting, Senator Lynch de-
clsred bis purpose to be to reject all the
returns from the parishes and polls of the
city which were charged to be fraudulent
and illegal. 1t did not need this intima-
ton to put Gov. Warmoth on his guard as
to the infamous conspiracy which had
been concocted to cheat this people of
. fhair ri and fHn, ;,4 L.
hands of the custom house cormorants.
He was fully prepared for their plot.
Accordingly, when the board met to day
present, Gov. WarmOth, Acting Secretary
of State Heron and Senator John Lynch
the Governor, after the reading Of the
minutes, presented the certificate Of Audi
tor Graham showing that Acting Secretary
of Sta Heron being defsulGer, he had
been compelled by the constitution and the
Law to suspend him from the exercise of
his functions on charges which would be
enumerated to the Senate. Accordingly
Secretary OF State Heron was requested to
withdraw from the board, which he did.
Gov. WarmoSh next presented the commits
sion, and the evidence Of his qualification
for the Office, of Col. Jack Wharton as
the successor Of Gen. Heron. Col.
Wharton was in the ante-roOm and on be-
iUg sent for promptly appeared and took
his seat in the board. Gov. Warmoth then
proposed the name of F. 81. Hatch as sub
stitute for Lieutenant Governor Pinchback,
which motion was adopted by the votes of
Gov. WarmOth and Secretary of State
Wnarton, Senator Lynch voting no. IL
was further moved that DUrant Duponte
be elected in the Place of Senator Thomas
Anderson. These nominations were adopt
ed by the board, Whereupon Senator Lynch
retired. The board being thus completed
acc riding to law will proceed to its duties.
Thus has been foiled as foul and infamous
a conspiracy as was ever concocted to de-
fraud the people of this State of their rights
and set aside lawful and honest election.
This action created great excitement in po-
litical circles.
Judge Dibble, of the Eighth District
Court this afternoon issued an injunction
in favor of Heron against Wharton, Gen.
Badger and Others, restraining them from
interfering with Heron in the discharge
Of his duties as acting Secretary of State.
Chief Justice Ludeling having given the
opinion that two of its members are in
eligible, it is believed the Supreme Court
will sustain Gov. Warmoth in recognizing
the returning board.

turns from l0l counties, cities and towns
give Greeley $50 majority. Unofficial re-
turns from seven other counties give Grant
2,08S majority. Only two counties have
not been heard from. These gave Wells,

majority. If these unofficial. figures are
not materially changed, Grants majority in

probability Of the election of Davis, the
