Recoun, Of tho Amendments.

The recount Of votes on the second
amendment which is reported to be in
progress IL this State, ia understood TO I've
unofficial In its character, aud consequent.
ly can serve no other end than the satisfy
ing Of a curiosity to krow how many votes
were lpst TO the amendment through the
ren,issness of election officials in the dis
charge OF their duties. II seems already
well established that at not few voting
places there was either ignorant or willful
neglect in the matter Of keeping tally and
making return Of these votes. In some
cnses II appears that there was little or no
attention pnid TO the recording OF the "yes"
vutc--and in n few that the "yes-no" vote
was returned as though II had been aim, ply
"yes"-thus counting In favor OF the
amendment.
The neglect TO tally and return every
vote cast, and IN exactly the way in which
II was cast, We regard rs rcprehensible In
the highest degree. Judges OF election
have no right TO permit the omission from
the tally sheet, or the proper return of any
vote, no matter how trivial or unimportant
It's objective point may be held Ivy 'hen, TO
be. Every such case Of neglect should sub
jeci the delinquent to n heavy penalty
and II there is no existing legal provision
for such penalty, one should be promptly
enacted by the Legislature.
With regard TO the claim set up by somt
Of the friends of the second amendment
that all the "yes-no" votes shonld have
been counted and returned the same as U
the''no" had been left off the ticket, W.
tnve no idea that IL would ever be aus
tanned Ivy any court or legislature. Prob
ably 90 OF every 100 OF such votes found IL
the ba!lot-boxes were cast with the express
understanding and intention that the.
should count against the amendment.
