ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Judge MaIfOn and John s. COnnor
Appointed Masters.

The testimony in the contested election
case of Montgomery against Matson was re-
sumed this morning before Judge Burnet.
Louis Kluesman testified as to the man.
ner in which the count was made in District
b Of The Third Ward. His testimony was
similar to that given by his brother Henry
yesterday.
The next witness was Mr.. Heinsheimer,
Judge of Election in District A, Seven
teenth Ward. He testified that the ballots
after the pools were closed were taken out
Of the box in a bunch; he did not think
that at any polls in Hamilton County, the
ballots were taken out one by one and
counted. The clerks assisted in asserting
the ballots, but the Supervisor did not
touch them. All of the tickets
tailed with the names on the poll-books;
that is, except one or two votes, the ballots
in these cases consisting of two tickets
folded together. TO the best Of his kuowl-
edge everything was carried on correctly.
| lie also acd, on looking at the balot-boX
in Court, that the key-hole, which had been
sealed by him, did not look as if it had been
tampered with.
A motion was then made to open the
boxes. Judge Matson's attorneys objected,
but the objection was ovcrruled. The box
was opened and the bag found to be in good
condition.
The Court stated that there had been
gross irregularities in the three wards
named above i'll counting and keeping the
ballots
After some wrangling as to the appoint
ment of a Mas er to count the ballots, both
parties agreed upon Judge Mallon, Demo-
crat and john S. Conner Esq, Republican,
as Masters This was on the suggestion of
the Court. The counting of the ballots va
at once begun.
