FlOl Ida. -
Pending the proceedings in the Court to
compel the Board of CanVassers to meet, the
Secretary Of State issued call summoning
The first session on the 9th, was devoted
simply 70 the adoption Of rules Tor the govern
ment of the Board in making the canvass.
At the session on the 26th, the second day
Of the meeting, returns from oil the counties
were opened and on the tace Of them they
gave the highest Hayes elector =, $50 and the
for the highest Hayes elector. The Democrats
were astonished when the return from Baker
county was read, giving Al republican ma
jority. The original return gave IS Dem
Ocratic majority and the Democrats did not
know OF the new return: At the evening ses-
sion the first return showing So Democratic
turn was admitted it would give Tilden 1l6
majority in the State: II both returns are
rejected, two Tilden electors have five major
ity and one I1ldeh elector three majority, and
one Hayes elector one majority. The Repub.
licans have given notice OF contest in 10 c0unss
ties, and the Democrats contests.
; On the 18th, the Board was occupied in
hearing afidayits alleging that, in the town Of
Archer, 3l9 votes were cast, while 638 were
returned. AffdAvits were also read showing
the original returEs Of Baker county gave IS
Democratic majority.
The I'd inst, was the last day allowed by
the Florida Board for the introduction Of tes-
timony, and both sides introduced large
amount.
There was only one new or notable point
raised. This was in the county of Monatee.
The clerk Of this county. by being the regis
tering officer, resigned week or so before
election. The Governor accepted his resigna-
ton at once. The county was thus left with
out clerk. Some citizens attempted tn reg
lister with the deputy clerk, who declined to
take their names. new clerk was ap-
pointed by telegraph, but for reasons differ
emily explained by each side, did not qualify
before the election was over. The election
was held, however, the registry list Of last
year being used, ana each voter taking The
usual registry oath before justice Of the
peace who oficiated in lack of a clerk. The
Republicans ask that the county be thrown
out as the action was irregular, and their vot-
ers in the county not believing the election
would be held without clerk, did not 90 to
the polls. The Democrats ask it to be count
ed, as these voters exhausted their resources
in trying to make the votes lawful, and recite
that y hundred OF the voters were kept from
voting, as only those on the registry list Of
former years felt it right % vote. The county
| is almost wholly Democratic.
The Democratic managers raised the point
as 10 the eligibility OF Humphreys, Republic
can candidate for elector, who was appointed
shipping master at Pen>acOla sometime agu,
and held that Office when the election came
of.
