COUNTING THE BALLOTS.

In unearthing the election frauds in San
Francisco by recount in the cases of sew
eral candidates, it develops that nearly all
the false counting was in what are known
as the downtown precincts-thos below
the line of Dupont street, for instance
while the returns of the hill, or uptown
and residence districts, are free from any
evidences of wiliful miscounting. The
" downtown" districts are those which
contain most saloons, nearly all the dead
falls, the resorts of the major portion of
the criminal element, and the centers
from which political chicane and trickery
emanate. What does this prove That it
is an error to so group voters that in some
voting districts, by reason of the low char
acter of the region, fraud can be perpe-
trated with ease. The remedy naturally
suggesting itself is, to 50 adjust the dis
tricts as to throw leaven OF good charac-
ter into each. But here arises difficulty
that is apparently insuperable-the law re-
quires that not to exceed $50 voters shall
be grouped in any one district. In San
Francisco even shoe-string district could
scarcely be made to stretch so as to include
better residence sections and still to include
some of the districts where fraud and vice
most thrive. Might it not be possible,
however, suggests an anxious citizen to
put judges and inspectors into the "bad :"
districts who are not residents of them
and are not related 10 or companions of the
vicious elements? The answer must be no,
for it would be undemocratie and, under
the Constitution and laws, illegal. This
brings us to the proposition of the REC
oRD-USIoS, long since advanced and sew
eral times described in these columns
have the counting in the first instance
done in open Court and under and accord
ing to judicial practice and system. Such
method of ascertaining the result of an
election would completely close the door

SAYS the San Francisco Alta.

This sounds strange. In Lowell, Mass, Mr.
Pierce, Democrat, was elected Alderman on
the lace of the returns. He investigated the
matter himself, and, on going to the ballots
found that he was beaten by five votes where
upon he contested his own election and de-
manded recount, which showed that the Office
belonged TO his opponent Mr.. Drury. Mr. Pierce
would draw crowd if he would make tour of
the country.
But what an opportunity was offered the
Alta, as one of the family, to apply the
moral to its Democratic friends in San
Francisco who have secured certificates of
election upon the basis of the most mon
strous frauds? Is there enough of the
leaven of virtue in the Democracy of the
metropolis to give to the world one man
out of the whole lot who will gracefully
and manfully surrender and yield up his
certificate when the recounts prove that
he is not entitled to it? "Dollars to
cents " with the Alta that there is not one
such of the entire breed of San Francisco
politicians. When the recounts are over
we will have the shameful exhibition of
men holding on to certificates of election
and filling places who, in the face of all
the State, are proved to be not entitled to
them.
