claimed by the Democrats are reduced,

The five counties Of Brevard, Calhoun,

Democratic majority OF $50, by the official
returns show Democratic majority OF Sos,

There has not been time to doctor these re-

another personal explanation.

should give an order to compel the super
yisors Of the following parishes 10 hand In
their returns, viz: Franklin, Grant, Liv.
ingston, Lafayette aud Tangipohoa, Judge
spohord remarked that in these parishes
there were large Democratic maioritie.
Governor Wells said the board was en-.
t!rely independent OF the supervisors.

trary to law, the returns of five parishes

the votes cannot be counted.
Mr.. Gauthreaux asked If certified copie.

Governor Wells said he had already
ruled OH that point and thought it was I'M

Mr.. Gauthrieaux and Judge Spofiord

Governor Wells replied that he would
give the order if the returns were no, pro.
| duced by W ednesday.

effect that twenty.iour hours having elapsed
