REASONS
There may bo another motive in thus postponing
from day to day tho count of tho vote, and II may all
be trick to get snap judgment like that poycd by
tho State Board Canvasser Tho State constitution
requires tho vote tor Governor to bo counted and de-

until his successor is legally qualified. Now,
Monday is the sixth day from Tuesday, when the
Legislature organized, as tho republicans claim.
They may intend 10 adjourn on Monday without
counting the vote, and then claim it cannot be
counted after that day, and that Chamberlain
