TabuIatIne the Election Returns,

The committee from the Governors Coun-
Gil will have the tabulation of the late cleo
ton returns finished by the oath inst, after
which twenty days remain for corrections.
The returns from Portland were the most in
correct of any sent in. By the errors of
ward clerks the short term Of the County
Commissioners was given to Mr.. Tolman,
whereas he evidently received the greatest
number of votes which entitled him to the
long term, instead of Mr.. Hammond who
profits by the errors. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Tolman will ask for a hearing from the
Governor and Council in order that the err
rors may be rectifisd. 1t is understood that
Mr.. Hammond will not contest Mr.. Tolman's

To the Public.

PORTLAND, Nov IL, 1886.
The widespread and heartfelt sympathy
expressed by such large circle of Christian
friends for myself and family in the hour of
ly moved us. We should be untrue to our
deeper thoughts and feelings if we did not
acknowledge in some appropriate way our
appreciation of such kindly words and senti
ments. Our loved ones cannot be recalled
but in the sadness of our surroundings we
are glad to be remembered, and hope ever SO
to order our lives as to have permanent
place in the affections of the good and the
true. Receive this public communication as
sincere and fearful reply to each and every
expression Of concern and sympathy.
Truly yours,
EZRA TINKER
In behalf of myself and family.

SHERIFF TRUE's REPLY.
His Explanation of the Discrepancy
in the Accounts.
Norman True Denies that He APP
piled for the overseershIp of
the Workshop.

The following are in reply to the County
Commissioners statements made Yesterday:
SHERIFF TRUE's STATEMENT.
To the Editor Of the Press:
In regard to the statement made by David
L. Chaplin about the board account will
say that $4,000 was the amount which claim
the commissioners refused to pay, although
claim that the same belongs to me. When
the shop was leased to Messrs. Drew &
whitney Nov. /, 1885 | contend that | had
right to put all prisoners who were sentenced
to work into the shop. But for the first ten
days of their lease they employed but a small
portion Of the lllen. This | did not consider
any lauit 81 mine and therefore claimed the
amount of board for the full number for the
ten days. Also had two men who were
sent out of the workshop on account of sick
ness and were placed under the doctors
care These men | charged the same price
for as If they had been in the shop. had
to furnish them with milk and toast besides
other extras. But these charges the COM
mlSSl0nerS would not allow and so deducted
the amount of $50 and one cent from bill
Ihis deduction was made up of other items.
When men had worked their time except
the last day of their sentence, which time it
has always been the custom to give them to
get their clothes in order to go out, in these
cases the board has been three cents and
one-half extra for the day. l had not
thought it possible that any man would de-
seven hundred items ranging from one to
one hundred and eighty-three days.
In Mr.. Chaplin's statement he says my
board account does not agree with the work
shop account. Let me say in this connec-
ton that all of the women in the Jail who do
washing, mending and making of clothes for
the prisoners also the barber and tailor
whose names do not go on to the work shop
book are at work and their board has been
paid at the same rate as those who go into
the shop.
BENZ. TRUE, Jailor.
NORMAN TRUE's STATEMENT.
To the Editor Of the Press:
/ see in your issue Of the 18th inst, a state
ment made by David p. Chaplin that had
made an application in person to the County
Commissioners for the appointment as over
seer OF the Jail work shop. / would say in
answer to their statement that never made
application to them in any way or form.

ter of the late Charles Z. Workman.
After the war he was a member of the
firm of Charles T. Workman & Co.
He took great interest in the re-or-
ganization of the volunteer military
in this city, and when the Lee Guard
was formed was elected captain. He
was subsequently elected colonel of the
First Virginia regiment, and was in
command when the body visited Bal
timore.
He was member OF Lodge No. 10
A. F. and A. NJ, of this city. He was
also member of the City Council for
one or more terms, and took an active
part in politics here.
He was an openhearted pleasant
gentleman; was energetic and intelli-
gent, and in the early part of his ca
reer gave promises of great success of
life; but he had serious reverses in
them.
Col. Sloan spent several years in
North Carolina and in Washington in
accumulating material for the publ
cation of history reciting the part
North Carolina took in the war of
1861 3, 1t was to have been publish
ed in monthly parts, but the enter
prise was failure, and this i'll success
greatly weighed upon his mind.
For some few years he held a gov
eminent position in Washington. AT
ter he was connected with telephone
company.
In March last he was in Washing
ton asking an Office under Secretary
Bayard, and it was his understanding
that Mr.. Bayard had directed that he
should be provided for but he waited
about the State Department week af-
ter week and never got the expected
appointment. This was sad blow to
him and it probably unbalanced his
mind to some extent and led to his I'M
happy death, in the forty sixth year
of his age. His body will arrive here
from Baltimore to-day at 2:30 p. m,
and his body will be taken from the
depot to Hollywood cemetery.
