MONTGOMERY, Ala, Nov. 1S. - Total
vote Of the State for Governor: O'Neil,
Democrat, 100000; Sheffield, Inde-
pendent, 5000.
As It has been generally conceded that
Chalmers was elected by a handsome
majority, this act has Occasioned a nine
day's wonder. The case turned upon a
vote OF Lake county certificate from the
County Board of Commissioners of
Election, which declared that Manning
had received 1l66 votes, and Chalmers
1892. As appears from the foregoing
that tally sheets we're duly and officially
signed, but on the reverse side of the
certificate, was tally sheet upon which
Chalmers appeared credited with 147O
votes. This tally sheet was in q differ
ent handwriting and was not officially
signed. Myers held that the tally sheet
was better evidence of the intention of
the Commissioners than the certificate.
1t Is claimed by Chalmers that if this
was true of the tally sheet in the Lake
county returns, it will also be necessary
to throw out Teppart, Union and Desoto
counties, .as there was none inclOsed,
which would still give him a majority.
The Secretary of State holds different
~, giving the 1472 votes of the Lake
county return to j. Il. Chambless, and
none to Chalmers, sustaining the returns
in other counties. The vote officially
stands: Manning 8,749; Chalmers 8 ,257;
ChaubleSs l, 1,472: Carter 129. ManninQ's
plurality over Chalmers, 492. General
Chalmers sued out an Injunction from
theCircuit Court, enjoinin9 the Secretary
OF State from giving the certificate to
Manning, also mandamus from the
court. both of which were disregarded.
