licved to be transparent hoax, and hearing that

publicans massing around tho Governors rooms and
tho democrats holding tho Attorney Generals end OF
tho building. The FIRST news from tho Board was OBJ
lainod at harpast ten O'Clock, when Judge Cooke

iltcn.n IL will be remembered that Baker is the
county from which the chairman attempted TO sup
press the true returns by Hing IL bogus paper. Tho
news that the Board had sustained tho true returns
was received as good sign. The reported loss

contest had been made IN that county Altogether the

the long hours OF the night chccrIuy enough.
