turns. Many stoutly claim that Hayes nes
carried the State. However, It 10 prooaOH,cc
that Tilden will have majority OF some SUo
or 400 ON the returns - made officially by
the county canvassore. Tho Republican,
claim that even admitting this they Wall %

to new return.
On Yesterday the Democratic State Com
mittee addressed Q note to the Board of
State Canvassers. requesting them to pro-
coed at once to canvass such county returns
- are already in. They based this request
upon the fact that CREST mass Of testi.
mOny weuld come before the board from
both sides, and thst its proper presentation
and argument would take long time, and
that g the United States law requires
tho Governor to issue bis certificate to the
presidential electors On the sixth of De-
Cember, it IL necessary to begin work at
once in order that . fair hearing may be
had.
The board this morning declined to COM
mence the canvass, Cooke, Democrat, voting
yea, and McLin and Cowgirl, Republicans,
voting nay. Tho Republicans decline on the
grounds that tho law reada, ION the thirty
fifth day sitter election, or sooner if ell the
returns are in, the canvass Of the vote shall
expired and al the returns arc not yet in,
they can not legally begin work. The
Democrats claim that there 10 . clause a.
lowing the canvass to begin ct any time and
canvass such returns - arrived, not closing
the canvass to tho exclusion Of any county
for non-arrival until the thirty fifth day has
como. Steps will probably be taken to eco
If there 10 not II tho Supreme Court some
power TO force tho canvAesers to begin work.
The Democratic aver that the delay 10
meant to either force the Governor to issue
certificates without . canvass when the
sixth Of Decemher arrives or to open the
canvass 1t 90 late daV that there will be
NO time for full and fair discussion Of the
frauds involved.
