MoHE PERSONALITIES.
Tho revised statutes require that in case
Of plantations, in addition to the forms re.
Quired by towns, a list OF voters on The
plantations be sent into the Secretary of
State, otherwise that returns from such
plantations shall not be counted, We
found the returns from seven OF The plan.
tAttons irregular in this particular, and we
have specified thereon our tabulailon. II
Will thereon appear that the rejection Of
those returns affect the election Of two
Republicans. The statute requirement Of
setting lorh in the returns the whole
number ot ballots In many cases was not
complied with. We have found that il has
been the practice Of the Governor and Of
tho Council for many years to reject such
returns, and We have n0t deemed Il saie IN
deyiate from this long established in.
terpretaton Of the lay, so fully
recognized by our predecessors and Ia
making our calculations have omitted all
such returns. II will 10 seen that these
releGtlons ahect the election Of several Re.
publicans In the county Of Washington.

been voted for In some OF the towns Of his
county by tho name Of JnO. T. Wallace,

votes as thrown for two different men, as
We have no legal knOElodSo that the same
