MIR. GEIGER CONTESTS.
The Reasons Alleged Why City Treasurer
Pattison's Election Was Illegal.

George ". Geiger the defeated Democratic
candidate for city treasurer at the recent cleo
ton, yesterday filed with the county clerk a
formal notice to contest the election of L. N.
Pattison. making the following allegations:
/. That at the third and other precincts of the
Twenty-ffth ward the inspectors and judges
were guilty of lrregnlarity and such conduct
at said election in this, that they refused TO per
nit to vote and rejected the votes of forty-seven
voters who were residents of said precincts, and
who offered TO VOTE, and that each and all OF
these intended 10 vote for said confession for the
office of city treasurer. but their names he does
not know.
.. And the said inspectors and judges refused
ward who lived south of Wisconsin street and
west of Meridian street in said ward, and that
forty such voters who would have voted for the
confession were refused the privilege.
3. And the said judges and inspectors were
guilty of malcOnduct, insomuch as they did
receive fifty votes of persons who were not legal
voters, and each of these illegal votes were cast
for Isaac n. Pattiso for said office.
Il. The images and inspectors of the first pre-
einct of the Twenty second ward refused to
count for the confession SIX legal votes that were
cast for MIN.
). The judges and inspectors of the second
precinct OF the Twenty-firs ward refused to re-
ceiVe the votes Of six legal voters who would
have voted for the confession.
-. That the voting places OF the first, second
and third precincts of the First ward were not
Within the corporate limits of the city, and that
consequently, 200 Illegal votes were received
ard counted for PdItisnn.
and, for these reasons, the confession prays

PoLYeAMY IN coNcaEss

Senator Edmunds is again before
Congress with another bill to cure the
defects in his former bill on the SUB
ject of Polygamy. 1t would seem
th2t the new one is as great failure
in its provisions so fer az will be ia the
effect to suppress polysamy as the
former one. In order to cure the
difficulty heretofore in the proof of
polygamous marriages the new bill pro-
vides that full certificates shall be
filed and recorded in a court with pro-
ba;e powers of every ma: :'iase that
takes place in any Territory, and
makes both husband and wife COM
petent witnesses, who may be COM
pellel to testify in any case where a
violation of the laws regulating polyg-
amy, bigamy and unlawful cohabioa-
.ion is ch9rged. Such prov 'sions are
no doubt slight improvement over
the old bill, but still it lacks a great
deal OF being such as will have any
great ea ct in suppressing polygamy.
Polygamists carry on their in;ti,ution
by violation OF law. The have no
acsitancy in setting aside any law
when opposed 70 their y,shes. In
fact they are people Of criminals and
law breakers. A law providing th..t
certi,ic, les of marriage shall be filed in
probate in their territory would have
no effect: for when married they would
be married in secret and then not file
any cel',ifics te as provided by the new
bill AID they theresfter take chances
in swearing ] it through. Aud they
would no doubt do it, IF MI. Ed

Although Benton county candidates
were at the last election elected upon
square platform TO repeal the in
famous school book law, by the means
of which the people have been robbed
for SO many years, but when the e,eo-
ton was over they never again though
of this question. The people at the
approaching election should nominate
and elect persons who they know to be
identified with the peoples interest and
whom they know will make some at
tenn ot to carry out the pledges upon
which they are elected. We also
know that men after being elected can
not always accomplish all they wish.
But they certainly can do better than
to work all the time in the interests of
the democracy and against their own
ticket. IF men long identified with
the interests of the county are put
forward they will likely do the straig ght

Will the teachers institute which
meets at this place next week take
any action upon the present law on
the subject of school books, which is
robbing the people of Their hard
earned dollars and doing them no
good but a positive injury? If school
teachers would take up this question
in behalf of the people they could
easily rid the state Of such an in
famous law. We will guess at a ven
ture, however, that they do not act de-
cidedly upon the question. 1t seems
like the teachers of the country to
whom the people entrust the educa-
tion of their children, ought to be free
to act upon this subject fevorab,y
to the peoples wishes and unlnfu-
enced by school book monopolists,
although legislators can NOT be found
to oppose the monopolists and free
the people from this curse.
