Ordinarily the matter IS scrcely heard of because 1t IS ernerally 4ne ID the interest of some local candidate merely, but when the result IS so cl'se m the entire state on the vote for President, the people who never heard of such thIng, go wild with excitement over what they term a Returning Board and are us manifestly ignorant of how votes are counted and officially returned as they are of what constitutes the as- sociated press.

The full electoral ballot bOx Was found tO col tain 9l ballots more tuaD cast according 10 the poll
 list, and that excess of votes was drawn out by a man hlIudfolded, in accordance with tue laws of the state. If fraud was intended the parties failed to ac- complIsh what they desired. The Re publican party have no reason to find | fault with the result of the vote, as 1t gave ClevtlaBd only 260 majority, which Is the ordinary vote. The roll was care fully watched on election day and the result ss declared by the inspectors, apparently gives each party what 1t Is entitled to.
