he board Of state canvassers Tor at
east week. No figures that can be
relied upon have been received from
anv Of the counties Tonight, but al!
scattering returns which have come
to hand show that the republicans
have under estimated rather than ex
their majority Hamilton,
county, rs far as heard from, is the
only one in which there is any Dispute
about the canvass. In thus county,
which righ,fnlly belongs to the rcpub-
llcans, and which it is thought was
carried by the democrats Immediately
after election, Is claimed by major
ity of 29I. Since then the ballot
boxes aud all legal evidences OF the
result have disappeared aud of
course the managers of the eiEeattt tHs
are unable to make any canvass. The
democrats still iIrsist however that
they have carried the county by the
above figures and demand that they
be returned AS the result OF the elt.e-
ton. OF course the managers refuse
to do AS they are asked aud an appeal
from refusal to canvass the county
vote is TO apply TO the circuit jndse
for a writ OF mandamus. The demo
cratic state committee has sent law
yer 10 Hamilton county TO draw the
necessary papers and make such an
application |. the itstlge refuses to
grant a mandamns there is no further
appealexcept On a quo warranto as 10
why the officers who claim TO be
elected shall not take their seats. The
state board Of canvassers has no pow.
er to act upon poll which is not be,
fore them. Regarding vacancies IL
the board Of presidential electors the
state laws OF 1916 provides that all
vacancies in the board Of electors are
40 be filled by the remaining electors
on the day previous 70 that fixed ior
voting for president. One feature OF
the contest here which cxcises great
deal Of interest is difference be.
tween the vote cast for Tilden and
that for the democratic candidate fol
governor. The democrats claimed
that the difference would pot every
great. ~
Official returns already rece,veN
however, show that 1T is so great thfl'
even if Drew has carried the state bV
small majority, as is claimed BY the
detnocra,s, Tliden Will he defeated b,
at least four hunured votes. Thus
it will be remembered, by calculating
from the democratic figures in Sutie'
county, Tilden falls behind clever
votes, in Duva county 81 votes
in Leon county Ia votes, in jackson
county, 43 votes in Nashau county
26 votes in franklin county, and II
Orange county 5Et VOTES,
4 IN Z counties. AT this rate<he woulS
i be defeated, even if the dc,nccrati
state ticket was elected By the highcs
majority claimed for it.
