IHE OFFICIAL CANVASS,
OF the Vote Cast in Minnesota for Con.
gress, November 9Th.
wAsHBuRN's SEAT CONTESTED.
Mr.. Donnelly Appears Before the Board
With Counsel.
DECISIONS GROSSLY PARTISAN
And ALI the Odds Given to the Mime
apols Ringster.

In pursuance of the provisions of law
made and provided, the board for returning
the vote cast for the several candidates for
Congress in the three districts of the State,
met at the capitol yesterday, and proceeded
to the performance of the duty devolved up
on them. It was intended the board
should meet at 10 A. NJ, but it was fully
ll:30 before the members had assembled
and we're ready to proceed to business. The
board is composed of the Governor, John s..
Pillsbury; auditor of state, O. p. Whitcomb;
and the secretary Of state, John S. Irgens,
with Chief Justice Gilfllan and Attorney
General Wilson in attendance in an advisory
capacity, as the legal representatives
of the people as manifest
through the State organization. Yes
terday, Mr.. j. P. jacobson, commissioners
of statistics, assisted the board, and Capt.
A. Coleman Macy, the governors clerk, and
Mr.. Hjortsberg, clerk in the secretary Of
states Office, acted as clerks and kept the
tally sheets.
Ordinarily the proceedings of canvass
are very simple, consisting simply of open
ing the official envelopes, reading off the
totals OF the vote cast for the respective
candidates, adding the totals together and
declaring the result. The mod1ls operandS
as practiced in this canvass, was for the
auditor to open the envelope, by cutting off
one end, and handing it to the governor,
who withdrew the return from the envelope
and spreading it out, passed it over to
the secretary of state, who read from it the
name of the county and the totals of the
votes cast for the different candidates for
Congress. the clerks taking down the figures
as read. The canvass completed, the totals
were added up, the majorities figured out,
and the result promulgated in due legal
form.
Such is the ordinary way of doing the bus
mess, and the proceeding generally attracts
little attention. But in this canvass consid-
cradle interest has been given TO the proceed
ing, from the fact that it had come to be gen
orally understood that, in connection with it,
the first legal steps would be taken for a con-
test of w. d. Washburn's claim to seat in
the Forty sixth Congress. This general I'M
derstanding was verified by the appeasance
before the board, soon after organization had
been completed, of ]. Donnelly, accompanied
by Hon. John NJ. Gilman and John D.
O'Brien, of the firm of o. Brien & Eller, who
have been engaged to look after Mr.. Donnelly's
legal rights in the contest. Soon after, Hon.
Charles E. Flandrau appeared before the
board, and, at the proper time announced
that he was present in behalf of Mr.. Wash
burn.
There being no contest in the First and
Second districts, the votes of these were can
vassed in very brief space of time. The
results appear elsewhere and as will beseen,
do not differ materially frem the announce
melts heretofore made in the GLOBE.
