No material change from previously published
figures has been discovered. The count has only

their signatures, but did not sign the tally
sheets.
About $8, 600 has been subscribed for the use

Eighteenth ward, to make proper return of the
election. Their return was brought in unsealed
and unsigned and hence the writ James Hg-
gins and John Regan were the Democratic

A DEMOCRATIC CONSPIRACY.

The Attempt to Steal the Vote Of Franklin
County-What was to Follow.
Columbus special to New York World.
This city was startled and excited at noon to-
day by the discovery, made by the board of cleo
ton canvassers, that forgery had been COM
mitted in the Thirteenth ward, by which 300
votesswere added to the Democratic column, with
a view of stealing member of the Legislature.
To tell the whole story it is necessary to go back
to my dispatches of last week Late Tuesday
night telegraphed that the Republicans had
FIVE majority on joint ballot outside Of Hamilton
county. I was then in possession of returns
which left no doubt about the matter, except as
to one member in Stark county. The official
vote from there showed the Democrat elected,
which reduced the Republican joint majority to
three. There has never been any doubt about
that since Wednesday night last. Subsequently
telegraphed that, after the Democratic State
committee saw no hope of a Democratic major
ity, they received telegram from John r. Nc
Lean directing, and substantially commanding,
them to claim majority on joint baot-twenty-
one senators and ifty-six representatives The
Democrats clearly elected were then known,
and to make the claim good the Democrats would
have to elect Smith, in Hardin county; Peck, in
Lucas; Young of this county (Franklin); Robert
son, in the Sixth senatorial district, and Lewes,
in the Twenty-6rst To secure two of these,
giving the Democrats fourteen from Hamilton.
would give them seventy four votes, majority of
one. The official returns from Hardin and Lucas.
and the Twenty first district, elected the Repub-
licans The collated and unofficial returns from

Every Democrat almost admitted his defeat.

Alex. c. Sands, of Cincinnati, came here several
days ago, and have been mysteriously active
since The official canvass of the votes began on
Friday and was continued on Saturday and to-
day A precinct each in the Fourth and
Thirteenth wards were informal in part and on
Saturday they were laid aside until to-
day to decide the question whether
they would be counted rejected. To
reject them would elect Young, to count
them would elect the Republican. 1t was ascer-
tanned on Saturday night that the board would
accept and count the informal returns from both
wards as there was no question about their

To-day, after hearing arguments OF counsel,
the board decided to count the ballots in the two
disputed precincts. When the Thirteenth ward
was reached 1t was found that the Democratic
candidate was credited with 500 votes, and an
inspection Of the tally sheet showed that on

Three hundred extra tai!ies had been
added, but the poll-book was short just
three hundred names The erasures and
changes were in a different ink from the origi-
nal, and the forgery was patent upon It's face.
The board delberated a short time then elm

nation. and were foremost in denounciEg the at

been abstracted from the clerks office since Sat

the attempt to count Young in in this county had

nothing in it.

claim was looked upon with grave suspicion by

to-day confirm that suspicion. 1t would have
been impossible to oust any man having a GER

How to Avoid 1t.

If a claim is worth locating, it is
worth the expense Of survey. If,
when it is located, each claim in a
mining district were surveyed and laid
down on general map, and all over
tapping and errors of location cor
rected, and if the name once given to
claim, as laid down on the general
map, were required to be retained,
and under any relocation it should be
registered under the same name, the
perple king confusion that now pre-
walls would be removed. And the
identity OF each location being thus
determined, much Of the uncertainty
attending the title of unpatented
ground would disappear if the law
further required that proof Of assess
ment work be fled year by year. The
local regulations Of some mining dis.
tric.s impose this condition; but il
should be made obligatory by statute
