COLUMBUS, O., October 19-The Off
dsl count of this county was continued
his morning. 7. F.. Powell appeared
r the Democratic candidates. and
woke three-quarters Of an hour in favor
4 them, and citing authorities to the
eject that the returns from Precinct a a..
n the Fourth Ward, and Precinct A, Of
he Thirteenth Ward, should not be
o,rDted. They are both Republican
Precincts. r. a. Harrison followed for
he Republican candidates, and at the
Conclusion OF his speech the board of
c9nvassers concluded to receive and
c9-nt the returns. The objections to
-bem we're that the judges of election
6s5 failed to properly certify TO the re-
-r-ns Precinct A, of the Fourth Ward,
we're counted, and tailed with Satisfac-
ron 10 all candidates. Returns from
ne Thirteenth Ward have been
-aaa through, the list of RepbublI-
can candidates there being d total
nj 100 in the Precinct. The original
vote stood, Republicans, 703, on the
head OF the ucket, and 302 Democrats.
Three hundred TALES had been added
10 ,he full Democratic ticket, with the
ezcep.ion of Atherton for Supreme
Judge. who had been given two hun
dred This made the total vote little
over a thousand, about three hundred
uO-e YOreS than are in the precinct.
The board decided to count the precinct
as returned. This will elect about the
entire Democratic ticket and Taylor,
Republican, for the Legislature, by 400
votes. Myers and Young, Demo
Gratis for representatives, will be de-
iestsd The board of canvasserS ad-
iO1Eled TO 5 p. M, when 1t Will convene
70 ElSn the certificates. Representative
o! both sides have asked permission TO
appear before the board at that hour.
There IS considerable lie ling over the
discoveries in the Thirteenth Ward.
The returns have been II possession OF
III clerk since Saturday.
The State ticket was read through,
and II was not discovered that the addi-
non of 800 had been to the vote OF the
Democratic ndldates until the county
ticket was reached. The addition, how
ever, seems to have been to the entire
ticket, county and State. The poll books
returned are 200 names short OF the
tally sheet. Clerk Joyce, Democratic,
who had charge of the returns since
saturday evening, says the figures have
undoubtedly been changed. His theory
Is that while they were being handed
around in the crowd during the argu-
'aent before the returning board Satur-
day lhat some one had slipped out with
The tally sheet and made the changes
N the figures.
H. J. 0ssing, Democratic Judge. says
ING figures have been changed since the
tal!y sheet left their hands. The in
Specrion shows the changes and the adj
ditiOnal tallies have been made by a
different pen and ink from the original.
The Republican vote in the precinct
vas j04 or 505 votes, and the Democrat
&c 200 and few votes. The figures ?,
beginning the number opposite the
Democratic candidates, have been
changed in each instance tofgures 5. |
The work is done in a very bungling
manner. If the precinct is counted,
Taylor (Bepublicau) for representative,
viii still have 40 odd majority over
/ Dung (DemOcTat), making two Repub-
-cans members elected and one Demo !
GTat: It the precinct is thrown out,
Iayior will still have a plurality of
SooQt II. This is all on the theory that !
