matter be postponed till the labOrs Of
the board were completed.
The Democratic members opposed
the postponement, asserting that in
order to fully com prehend the whole
question it was necessary to examine
Mot only the work OF the Returning
Board but Of those polls which we're
rejected by the Supervisors, and why
the board In other cases vent behind
the action of the Supervisors and re-
jected polls.
Wadleigh said they did net have the
power to compel the production Of the
papers, and it would embarrass the Ia.
bors of the board.
Mcdonald said the Democratic coun-
sci claimed that the board could not
reject polls save on the statement or
protest Of Supervisors, and that
polls had been rejected without their
protest and it was in order to deter.
mine this fact that the original papers
we're ordered.
