A Republican count.

The Republican Returning Board
at Columbus, Ohio, construes the
law so as to protect Republicans
elected to Congress. Two different
Congressional contests have been
heard before it. They were between
jill. Wallac, Democrat, and VIM.
Mckinley, Republican; and Camp
oell. Democrat. and Morey, Rcpub-
lican. The evidence developed the,
fact that Wallace had received fit
teen more votes than Mckinley, but
that twenty. three of his votes were
not returned in his full name of
Jonathan II. Wallace. They were
for Jonathan Wallace. j. II. Wal
lace, John II. Wallace, Major Wal.
lace, Wallace, cts. Iuwas conceded,
after the argument, that the duty
of the board was purely minister,
ial one, and the votes would have
to be counted strictly rs returned.
This would give William Mckinley,
Jun, a majority of eight votes over
Jonathan ii. Wallace. The Board
did not make any decision till it had
heard the Campbell Morey case.
Three thousand, tiyc hundred and
seventeen votes were cast for ii. l..
Morcy, while all the others were
cas-. for Henry l.. Morey. Thus Tie

burden of contesting the seat before
the Lower House of Congress, IN
stead of putting that burden up his
Democratic competitor. Mr.. Camp
bell, who claims to have been cleo
ted by a majority of the legal voters.
So the Board counted for Wallace
and Morey the votes given for them
by their initials. This was decided
after careful examination of the
returns had shown that it would add
but seven votes to Wallace, and
still leave him in a minority of one.
Any party that will endorse such
Il fraud deserves to die, still we do
not hear the Republican papers de
nounce the Ohio Returning Board.
Mark the difference: When it was
announced that Manning had been
given the certificate of election in
the Second District of Mississippi
on account of clerical error, al
most every paper in the State con
demned the. action Of the Secretary
of State. The pressure was made so
strong that Manning was forced to
say he would not accept the certifi-
cate.
But to return to the Ohio case.
Mr.. Campbell, says the Enquirer,
contends that there can not be two
kinds of law in Ohio-one for his
district and one for Wallace's. He
intends either to have a certificate
granted to him, or have one refused
to Mckinley, and has gone to the
Supreme Court to test the question.
He is willing to Withdraw his suit
and lose his certificate, provided
one is given to Wallace, and trust
to the case he can make upon the
merits of his cause in Congress. In
this he shows that he is not fighting
for certificate of election, but for
the great principles as to whether a
! Democrat is entitled to the same
protection under the laws that
Republican is.

entered in the chancery court here by Mrs.

From the tenor of communications being

inferred that the pensioners of the country
are combining to present their views on the
matter of revenue reductions to congress In
the letters already received, it is urged that
no action looking to a reduction of internal
revenue taxes be taken until it is clearly de-
monstrated it will in no way interfere with
the prompt payment of all pensions.
