received the Conservative committee
OF three, and authorized n like COM
mittee Of Republicans to be present.
The Conservatives gave notice of de-
sire to file protest against the board

admitting it to be constitutional, its
personnel was not according to the
spirit or letter of the law. Gov. Wells
replied that the question of the con-
stitutionality of law was thing for
the courts to decide, but he believed
the board was properly and legally
organized. The Conservatives were
allowed until tomorrow morning to
file their protests. Gen. Anderson
made come remarks relative to his de-
sire to have q fair count, aud Of his
willingness to resign If called upon.
He was followed by Gov. Wells and
Mr.. Cassanove. Gov. Wells said thew
must have legal count, but as some
doubts were expressed regarding the
integrity OF the board, he would be
glad to surrender his place to more
acceptable party. Members of the
board favored the taking up OF the
city returns first. in order that the Of
icers elect might take their places a..
the proper time. The Conservatives
then showed resolution passed BY
the city officers elect, wherein they
pledged themselves not to enter on the
duties of their Offices till all returns of
the State were canvassed. Awaiting
the readiness of the Conservatives
committee, the board adjourned until
tomorrow.
