ATTORNEY GENERAL NASH SAYS THEY
SHOULD BE COUNTED.
The Attorney General of the State. in
answer to a telegram of inquiry sent
him by the Secretary of the Republican
County Committee of MahOning county
on October 18th, responded as follows:
COLUMBUS, October IL, 1882.
DISNEY ROGERS, ESQ:
When the intent of the voter is evil
dent, it should be carried out. Votes
cast for "Wm Mckinley" should be
counted for William Mckinley, Jr. Votes
cast for 81. III. Wallace should be count
ed for Jonathan H. Wallace.
[Signedl GEO. X. NASH,
Attorney General.
Any other course than the one indi-
Gated by the Republican Attorney Gen
eral in his telegram, would deprive the
people of free ballot and an honest
count.
Apply the rule laid down by the AttOr-
ney General, which is clearly correct,
and the face of the returns elects Wal
lace by II of majority.
VOTES FOR WALLACE WERE SUPPRESSED
BY MCKINLEY's FRIENDS IN A RE-
PUBLICAN TOWNSHIP.
NnT n Oo+ 1900
Mr.. JONATHAN II. WALLACE:
We counted all the votes cast Cor JOna-
than H. Wallace, all cast for j. H. Wal
lace, all cast for Jonathan Wallace; we
did not count the votes cast for Wallace
nor those cast for Major Wallace, nor
did we return them to the County Clerk.
The reason that they were not counted
was that there were objections raised by
the byStanders, and also it was a ques-
tiOn in my own mind as to their legality.
W. R. HUM,
Trustee and Judge of election of
Fairfield township.
The Clerk of the township and of the
election, Mr.. Augustine, Republican,
gave the following statement:
COLUMBIANA, o., Oct. 16, 1882.
To j. H. WALLACE:
From the best information 1 have, as
Clerk of Fairfield township, COlumbiana
county, Ohio, there were IA votes cast
for Maj. Wallace and Wallace which
were not counted for you nor returned
on the tallysheet to the Clerk of the
county. which tickets containing said
names are still in the ballOt-bOX and in
my custody. Yours,
j. G. AUGUSTINE, Township Clerk.
Mr.. R. H. Carpenter. the minority
Judge, gave the following statement:
COLUMBIANA, o., Oct. 16, 1882.
j. H. WALLACE:
SIR was the minority judge of the
election in Fairfield township on the
10th inst. There were, according to the
best of my recollection about thirteen
votes cast for "Major Wallace" and Wal
lace for Congress, which votes were not
counted for you; nor were they returned
upon the Tally sheet to the Clerk of
the Court, but put back in the box not
counted. Gen. Holloway was present at
the count and objected publicly to the
counting of said votes for you, and the
other two judges then decided not TO
count them for you.
R. H. CARPENTER,
One of the judges of election in Fair
field township.
"FOr the present, it is simply fair to
say, that the people of this district have
elected" Jonathan H. Wallace as their
Representative in Congressl
And we will bet our old hat he will
get the seat, if he livesl
Does the family organ favor "the Mis-
sissippi plan" which Mckinley raved
about and denounced? Do they want
another fraudulant count? Do these
men not know that business is ausge-
spieldtP Will they learn nothing good
than British tories or French BOurbOns? d?
Let the Repository publish the fore
going documents as a matter of fairness.
Mr.. Hum and Mr. Augustine are Repub-
licans and George K. Nash is one of the
Republican leaders of Ohio. The Rep.
will not give the factsl
