was behind the bars at tho Police Court

THE HORSE BEATS THE MAN,
Hut the Man, Nothing Daunted, Pro
noses to Try it Again.

The two-mile race between Prince, the
bicyclist, and Draney's trotting horse,
Wildwood, ut Athletic Park, yesterday
afternoon, was an exciting one. Prince
passed the horse going around the corners
of the track, but lost on the straight track.
The trotter went under saddle instead Of
in harness.
Prince did the best mile ever accom-
plished on the bicycle in America. Owing
to the excessive rate of speed that he had
been riding Prince seemed to tire on the
last furlong of the second mile, and his ma
chine ran into rut and he lost the race by
few feet. The time made by Wildwood
was 5:491 and Princes time was $780,
Prince offers to go five or ton miles
against the horse for $3.50 to $500.
p. L. Seufierle, with 40 yards start Of
Dolph, won the gold medal in the handicap
race.
Robert w. Houston won the silver medal
in the handicap race of half a mile for boys
under Ia years of age.

THE RESULT NOT KNOWN TO-DAY.

NEN YORK, November lO.- Exclusive.
Tomorrow will be a most important day
in history of the great political drama that
is now being enacted here. The Boards OF
Canvassers meet in all the counties Of the
State, except Hamilton, and will proceed to
examine the returns. In the counties
outside New York City and Brooklyn, the
canvassers viii probably complete their
work by tomorrow hight and it will be
known by that timt whether the great
frauds exist that have BEEN so industriously
charged by Mr.. BlaineNand his followers.
Democrats here feel coniie that the re-
suit will make no matetal change. The
work OF canvassing il Ney York City and
Brooklyn will not be competed before We'd
nesday. As is now weere simply wait
ing. The most important event of to-
day has been the employment OF Mr., Conk
ling by the Democrats to represent them in
any legal proceedings that may take place
here in the city. 1t was sorne time before
he would give his consent against the party
With whom he hrs been so longand so hon
orably associated. 1t is BELIEVED that both
Col. dudley and John c. View have
arrived in the city, but they
are keeping very quiet aal cannot
be found by the reporters. One ff the Re
publican inspectors of election FOE this city
was before the Grand Jury today and it is
understood he made confession q extern
sive schemes to give Blaine taudulent
votes at the late election, but the
District Attorney, refuses to gte the
mans name or to reveal the details of
his testimony. The World will sayoi the
situation tomorrow morning: "To-da the
work of officially canvassing the vde in
this State will cammence. During its
Erogress there will be all sorts of runors
and stories Of the discovery Of errors and
frauds, etc. This is the Republican game.
Democrats have only TO stand htn
and await the final announcemen.
The canvass will confirm what ever
body now knows, and all sensible people ap
nit. viz: That Grover Clevelacd has a
plurality of the votes of the Safe of New
York, and will be the next President of the
United States. Tue opportunities for Re
publican rascality here are not what they
used to be in the Southern States under
Republican Returning Board rule. Visit
jrg Statesmen will not stell tie vote o'
New York this year.

IHE SITUATION CONTINUED.

Everybody has counted the returns. The
Democrats have counted them and the Re-
publicans have counted theW, and they
both give the same plurality for President
CLEVELAND. The Western Press Associs-
ton has counted them and the
United Press Association has
counted them and they give the same plu-
rality to President CLEyLaND. The New
York Sun, BUTLER paper, the New York
Times, Herald, Post and pretty nearly all
the Democratic, Independent and some
Republican papers in the United States
have counted. them and have made Presi-

PAgKERsBURG, November To- Exclll-
sive. REV. DIR. J. G. Hammer, late pastor
of Calvary Presbyterian Church, is greeting
friends in the city, and Yesterday morning
and evening delivered two OF his
interesting sermons at Calvary Church,
where he was greeted by large congrega-
ton of his admirers.
W. S. Sands, Esq, left here for Cincin-
natl yesterday. where he goes to look after
an important suit in the: United States
Court there.
From reports all over the land, it seems
that the small boy with his tin horn was the
means Of saving many quarrels and proba-
bly, bloodshed. Parkersburg was no excep-
ton, and it was not confined to the small
boy, either.
Col. Jerry Hin
says that he wants it understood that under
the Democratic administration OF affairs
the steamboats, on the Ohio and Little Ka-
nawha rivers are tocontinue to run, except
during low water and ice.
Among the happy throng of Democrats
in the city we noticed the genial faces OF
Capts. f. B Cooper, John Fl. Brookhard,
AL Slaven, all good Democrats and reioic-
ing over the glad tidings OF victory. Capt.
Frank Cooper, in company with Hon. W.
A. Cooper and wife, s. L. Addison and 9th
ers are en- route to Florida, where they will
spend the winter. Mrs. Ralph Counts will
join Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper in New Orleans
next month and accompany them to Flor
ida, where she. will spend the cold season.
Politics will soon be
at Discount
here, and now that the country has spoken
on the side of reform and honest govern
ment in the election of Cleveland and Hen
dricks, business will take the place of poll
tics, and Parkersburg will advance as usual
in all that goes to make up our prosperous
and growing city.
A very popular railroad conductor is re-
sronsible for the following good one on
Governor (?) Edwin Maxwell, whose ad-
dress continues to be at Clarksburg. AS the
story goes it appears that some time during
the campaign that the Judges good
wife had made arrangements to have
their dwelling painted and other needed re-
pairs and added the judge, Of course, being
cognizant of the proposed improvements.
About the time the material was all there,
the Judge returned from one Of his stump
ing tours of the State, and feeling confident
tdat he had successfully explained away his
record upon registration and prescription,
and that the people had made up their
minds to elevate him to the chief executive
office of the State he concluded that 1t
would be but short time until he would be
called upon to assume the cares and respon-
sibilities of State, and that he would
Postpone the Repairs
until the expiration Of his official term.
The workmen who were already on the pre-.
nises ready to 60 to work were notified of

Der of votes given to each. TINS state
ment is certified as correct by the Chair
man and Secretary of the ward; one copy
is recorded by the County Clerk, and duly
certified copy is transmitted by special mes
senger 10 the Secretary of State at Albany.
Ii any merely clerical mistake be appar-
ent in any statement of the inspectors pro-
duced before the Board Of County Cam
yassers, the latter have the power to- return
the statement for correction to the town or
ward inspectors and canvassers, who shall
assemble forthwith, and make such corree-
ton as the facts Of the case require.
The State Board.
The Secretary of State files the certified
statements of the Board of County canvass
ers, and calls meeting of the Board Of
State canvassers This Board is composed
Of the Secretary Of State, the Comptroller,
the State Engineer, the Attorney-General,
and the Treasurer, and it is required to
meet on the Wednesday next after the third
Monday Of Noyember-which would fall
this year on the 10Th inst.-or sooner. This
State Board, taking the certified copies of
the statements of the county canvassers,
proceeds to canvass the votes given for cleo
tors of President and Vice. President. 1t
then makes statement Of all the votes and
determines and certifes the persons elected.
The Secretary OF State must without delay
canse copy Of the certified determination
of the Board of State canvassers to be de-
livered to each of the persons therein de-
clared to be elected.
The County Board.
But while the county board can only COM
pei inspectors to correct errors merely cler-
ical, an act of the Legislature expressly
confers upon the Supreme Court whenever
it shall appear by affidavit that errors have
occurred in the determination Of the board
of county canvassers, the power to require
the board to correct such errors; and if
the board has dissolved it can be forced to
convene anew. The corrected statement
made under the order Of the Court stands
in lieu Of the original statement, and must
be treated in all places Of the same effect.
1t follows, therefore, that while the State
canvassers cannot be directly controlled by
the courts, any error of the county canvass.
ers can, on satisfactory proof, be corrected
By order Of the Supreme Court The accu
racy OF a return would therefore, in cases OF
doubt, he tested before any Justice Of the
Supreme Court sitting in the district where
il is believed the error has occurred.
A Recent Act.
As recently as 1875, the Court Of Appeals
held that while the certificate Of the proper
officers is prima facie evidence Of election to
q public office. yet the certificate and the re,
turns upon which it is based are open to in
quiry; and the return Of election officers
may be set aside by the courts when neces.
sary to promote the ends of justice.
