fact raises the question whether his Demo

the canyass of the votes had all been sen

Section %, chapter s, of the revised
statues provides that the secretary of state,

state treasurer, adiutant and inspector
general of the commonwealth aud the COM
mittee on privileges and elections of the
house of representatives, saall constitute
the board OF state canvassers, four of
whom shall be sufficient number to form
the board
The following are the members of the
board: Henry Z. Hayne. colored, secre-
tary of state; Thomas G. Dunn, white,
attorney general; b. l.. Cardoza, colored,
state treasurer; II. w. Purvis, colored,
adjutant and inspector general.
Citizens from all parts of the state are
present.
Gen. NJ. J. Hirsch, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elections of
the house of representatives, and all the
members of the board of commissioners
are Republicans; Hayne. Cardoza and
Dunn are candidates for reelection,
Hirsch, who is {. candidate for solicitor 10
the Sd district, is not acting on the board
OF canYasSers at THIS time. Hayne, Gar
doza, Stone and Dunn constitute the board
as now organized.
The board claims the right 10 decide
who are elected, and there is no appeal
from their decision except to the courts
In case Of the governor aud lietenant gov
ernor, however, the final decision rests
with the legislature, unless there is con-
test fo- county officers, when the county
canvassers decide who are elected. The
decision of the board iu throwing out votes
in any county for alleged frauds,
virtually ends the matter so tar as
they are concerned. Everything seems
quiet; there is no excitement to-day. but
all are anxiously awaiting the meeting Of
the board of canyassers.
| The board of state canvassers at Colum,
bia to-day considered the question whether
they had revising jurisdiction over the
returns. Attorney General Stone and
Iauother member of the board, not candi.
date for reelection, opposed the claim and
contended that their duty was simply tC
aggregate and declare results reported tC
them by the counties. The rest of the
board, howevas, voted otherwise and thei
decision was against this view.
