McTAViSH MISTAKEN.
Tellers Officer and Goodwin, and
Chairman Holiister Tell a Dr.
ferent Story from Nc.

The following statements pretty effect
ually contradict the essential portions
of those made by D. McTavish in his
affidavit published in the Register and
Mercury last week. Dan must be MIS-
taken. Read the following, friends, and
draw your own conclusions as to the
regularity of g. A. Roy's nomination tor
Clerk of the Court:
AUSTIN, October 81, 1881.
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT AS one of the
tellers Of the late Rep ublican convention,
must disagree with the conclusions of
one Of my associates, Mr.. McTavish, who
makes affidavit that Sweningsen received
43 votes on the 9TH and last ballot for
Clerk OF the Court. I know that there
were but 1O1 votes cast on that ballot mot
counting one blank ballot cast every
time except one, which the tellers unani-
mously agreed ought not to be counted.)
I further know that the record of the
votes as announced, every time, were
written or sheet of paper by Mr. Nc
lavish himself and handed to the chair
man. That Mr.. McTavish made no COM
plants as TO the counting Of any of the
ballots, and did not say that there had
been wrong count at any time. As to
the charge that "certain persons not
tellers counted the ballots and thereafter
there were found to be 10 votes instead of
~ for Eckford, would say that re.
counted the Ecktord ballots myself and
made the discovery that 10 was the cor
rect number for Eckford, and 80 reported
10 McTavish, and have no recollection
whatever Of any persons handling those
ballots except Mr.. McTavish and myself,
and Geo. F. Goodwin who was appointed
by the chairman to assist US.
r. E. OFFICER.
GRAND MEADOW, Oct. 81, 1881.
EDITOR TRANsCRIPT:-I know, as far
as l am concerned, that my count of the
ballots, made at the request Of chairman
Hollister, at the late Republican county
Convention, was IN perfect good faith to
everybody concerned, and / believe cor.
rect. On the fifth ballot. I know Roy
had 81, Sweningsen AZ, Eckford 8, and
one blank. Yours truly,
G. F. GOODWIN.
AUSTIN, Oct 81, 1881.
EDITOR TRANSCRIPT II desire to state
that, as chairman of the late Republican
county convention, I announced the result
of the 9Th ballot for Clerk of the Court,
as follows: Troy 51,Sweningsen AZ, Eek.
ford 8'-and that the paper from which
I read these figures was handed me by
Dan McTavish himself, and the result
was announced exactly and strictly in
accordance with the figures on that paper
recorded, after which declared Mr.. Roy
the nominee Of the convention for Clerk.
w. L. HOLLIsTER.
W. B. Mitson of Taopi, informs Us that
he stood right at the side of Dan Nc
lavish during the counting of every bal
lot in the convention. and took his figures
from Mr.. McTavish's tally paper before
it was handed to the chairman. He says
the 9Th tally, as made out by McTavish,
was '42, 81, g." for he still has his note
book in which he made his record at the
time, and can show it.--[ED.
