Petitions for a recount of the vote in the Sd
district, in which Hon. Walbridge A. Field de-
feated Hon. Benjamin Dean for Congress, were
hled Yesterday with the city clerk of Boston on
the ground that several hundred ballots were
counted for Field which did not belong 10 him
The difficulty arose from ballots having the
name Of Benjamin Dean for Congress duplicated
theIeen. In one case the name was in large
plain type and in the other in small type, no,
easily read nor likely to be noticed. One ticket
had the name OF Dean in small type at the bot
tom of the slip, where the printers name is Of
ten placed. These ballots were gotten up. it is
said, after legal consultation, it being well un-
derstood that il cast as presented each ballot
was pasted over one of Deans, the paster and
remaining printed name of Dean would neu-
tralize each other, and the citizen who intended
to vote for Field in place OF Dean would lose his
vote, M. Dean being thereby the gamer.
