-"Dear sir,-At the suggestion OF a num-
! Der OF my friends I would most respectfully
request that you will order n recount Of the
votes given in the recent primary election
for the position Of High-Constable. The
vote between Mr.. Whiting and myself is so
close that feel justified in asking this, and
in doing SO I do not intimate any fraud,
but think it possible that some one has made
a mistake, which, IL corrected, might give
! the nomination to me. ~n.@@ss

myself each appoint two friends, who shall
meet and count the votes given for High.
Constable; and hereby obligate myself to
abide by the decision OF these arbitrators.
