To the president and members of the
Board of Public Education:
Il GENTLEMEN Your committee ap
pointed to examine the ballot box of t.i,
Eighth Ward would respectfully report
that they found the ballot box in the
board room, unsealed, with the key in
the lock. Your committee unlocked
the box and counted the ballots therein
We found the total number of ballots to
be 1876, ofwhich Lewis T. Grubb had 81,
and ID. orc. kenney, SO. We also ex-
amined the poll list carefully and
found it contained the names of 1876 per-
sons, one name more than were ballots
in the box.
The following preamble and resolu-
tion was offered by Mr.. Belts:
| WHEREAS, At the recent school cleo
tion in the Eighth Ward many irregu-
larities appear; the inspector did not
seal the ballot box so that 1t could not be
tampered with; the box was not brought
to the board directly from the polls, but
was carried to the house of the inspeC-
tor; and furthermore, the number of bal
lots found in the box does not agree
with the number Of names on the poll
list, therefore
Resolved, That this board hereby de
clares the election held in the Eighth
ward on Saturday, April 7, as null and
void.
The resolution was lost by vote of
II to- Z. Those voting in the negative
were: Messrs. Baugh, Brooks, Forsythe,
