position ticket with more success than

KENNEY'S QUESTIONABLE VICTORY.
The Democratic victory il the
Eighth ward vast purely characteristic
one. 1t was a piece of Counting in, v
pure and simple. The Election was
held by James f. Daley, Bailiil Of City
Council, and candidate for janitor OF
the School Board; Andrew Lemon, was
the Democratic clerk, and Lexington
Barney, the Republican, c ERIK. Accord
ing to the poll list l97 volts We're cast,
but only 1856 appeared on the tally list
During the counting off, Inspector
Daley, presumably by mistake, called
a Grubb ticket for kenney, aud Lemon
had recorded it SO before Barney noticed
the mistake. Barney marked the vot"
for Grubb, and Lemon said he would
correct it on the next Keuucy votes, at
the same time also properly markingthe
vote to Grubb.
Speaking Of this point Mr.. Barney
says "rhe next votes that were read
Dll tOE htllIiSS NtIc blllCt III HH''tHHloi',
and marked them all on my tally-liSt,
and Mr.. Lemon did the same, not allow
ING for the erroneous trick he had made
before And during the whole work Of
counting Oft he made no effort to correct
the mistake and did not do So.
The result of this, of course, was that
in the end there was variance in the
tally-liStS. They would not "tally" by
one. MI Barney's count showed 9S
votes for Grubb and " for kenney,
Mr. Lemons, as u matter Of course, con-
the vote he had enormously
given the Democratic candidate, showed
a tie vote of 9S.
Then there was dispute, and Mr..
Daley insisted that Kenney was elected
and that he would make Out the cervili-
cate to that effect.
''This matter, Daley, can be settled
in fifteen minutes" said Mr.. Barney.
"Count the votes again, and all will be
satisfied and justice will be done.
"Ne," said the. inspector, who had
voted early in the afternoon, 81 cast my
vote for Mr.. Kenney."
The certificate was according ly made
out for Kenney, and Mr.. Cook the Re
publican inspector refused to sign it.
Mr.. Barney still insisted on having the
ballot counted over again.
"rhe whole thing is settled" said
Daley. "And want my supper and
am going to it," Suiting the action to
the word, lie went, with the bAllot-boX
under his arm.
The election in this ward will be con
tested
