out tho tAbulatiOns.
4 protest was lled against counting Tie
returns FROM the town Ot Chenyheld, on
tile ground that the officers who attestetl
the returns were not the legal officers.
Athdavlts presented with the protest
establishes the fact that not one legal So
lectman presided Att the making out Of tie
returns and receiving Of the votes. One
OI the SeleCtmVh was q foreigner and
could mol legally hold the Office Of Select.
; man, The Superior Court has held that
, 4 board OF town officers consisting Of less
that three Is mol 4 legal board. Acting
upon this opinion, we have rejected the
RETURNS from the town OF CherryRell.
This affects the election Of one Repre-.
sentative.
INTIMIDATION, &C.
Several protests and'alIidavitS 10 support
them were referred 10 us asking Ior tho rc.
lection Of the returns on account of
bribery and intimidation, and on account
oI legal defects In scaling Rt the Town
meeting, and also on account Oi improper
cheek lists. The copy Of the record pro.
senIed 10 US from the town of SkoWhegan
shows that for elections In thAttown only
one copy ot the warrant was posted, anil
the record does not show that that ore
was posted In the town. The objection 10
counting tile vote Of Auburn was made
because the voters names were added 10
the, check lists in three OF the wards In
violation oi the law while tho voting was
g9ing on on electiOnday. THE alliiayils
tlled FULLY establish that fact. Other ain.
davlts show the saine condition OF things
IN otherciues We consider these facts as
not legally cOgnizable by the Governor
lahu Council as canYasSinR bOarl, and
We have disregarded them IN our tabula.
ton. We recommend the reference Of all
shcll papers to tho Legislature.
The returns from Portland are defective
because they do moi comply with the con.
slltntionhl requirement, which provides
that the names Of all persons receiving
votes shall be stated In the returns K
large number Of votes were returned from
the said city as scattering" and there
was no possible means afforded by The re-
turns 10 determine for whom such votes
were thrown. The returns from tile cities

signed bya majority of tho Aldermen,
Ohder tho statutes and by decision Of the
courts snch returns cannot be counted.
and we have been Obliged 10 reject them,
