COUNTING THE VOTES.
THB BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS FlNISHEe
Up 0NB DISTRICT.
Ths Vote Of Liberty Counted, but No Change Found,
Except for COmnissicnsr-Ths RsPub-
lican Howl Of "Prand."

The Beard of Commissioners reconyened
ct 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and pro.
ceeded with the work of checking off and
comparing the tally sheets of the various
voting precincts Of the county. There was
about the same number of interested spec
tAtOrs present as on Monday, but the pro-
ceediDgs were Of q very uninteresting char
sctsr. The work of comparison was con-
cluded just before roon, but before ad-
journiDg, Mr.. A. j. Schultze appeared and
withdrew his application for 3 recount for
the office of ssssssor for the county dis
trict.
When the afternoon session was COM
menced, the Board proceeded TO recount
the vote of the several precincts Of Liberty
district for Fleming and Goff, Pendlston
and Atkinson and Blsyney and Maxwell.
Valley Grove precinct wa the first taken
up, and the recount stand Goff 104, Flem-
irg 81, Atkinson 104, Pendleton 81, Blsy-
ney IS, Maxwell "a. This was q loss OF
one for Blayney, while the other candi-
dates showed no change. When the count
of the precinct was concluded, but before
the result was announced, Mr.. G. R, @.
Allen, addressed the Board on behalf OF
Mr. Pendleion, ard called attention to
one of the ballots. This ballot had John o.
Pendlston's name written under the Office Of
Governor, Mr.. Atkinson's name being al
lowed TO remain on the ticket. hr. Allen
called attention to the law bearing upon
the subject, saying the meaning was, that
where the intention of the voter was pain
the ballot should not be yitisted. The
vote in controversy had been counted for
Mr.. Atkinson, while Mr.. Allen held the
intent Of the voter was to haVe voted tor
MIR. Pepdleton, he having inadvertently
written the name in the wrong Place. Inc
Board laid the matter aside temporarily,
and turned its attention to the exsmina-
ton of the ballots cast at West Liberty.
Mr.. Atkinson stated that he desired no
recount of this precinct for Governor. He
only desired suth precincts OF the county
rsc0uuted as he should designate 1. ON time
to time. Ia going over the ballots one was
found Wfere Blaney's name was scratched
out and Dan" written in its place. An
other rad MaxWell's name scratched out
aud Lon B ," intended for L. B Blsney,
written in its place. This was allowed, but
the Dan" yO'e was laid aside.
No change Wa3tound in the vote OF West
Liberty precinct, and Potomac was taken
I'D st i O'Clock in the 81 ernoon. The count
was concluded at talf-p1st four, without
any change having been found, except the
loss Of l vote for Blaney, and the Board
adjourned until this morning st $3.50
O'clock.
TIE recount makes the vote Of the dis
trict stand as follows:

in them. Mr.. LIND was obliged to mod.
ify the high tariff views he was known
to hold before he could secure election.
Mr.. NELSON has frequently expressed
himself so vigorously in favor of tariff
reduction that doubts have been ex-
pressed by members of his own party as
to whether he is not a better Democrat
than Republican even now.
Both thoroughly appreciate the fact
that if they desire continued political
favor at the hands of the people they
must place themselves in accord with
popular opinion. They know perfectly
well that, strong aSthey are in their dis
tricts, the sentiment in favor of relief
from burdensOme and useless taxation
is stronger. They see very clearly that
the people would adjudge vote against
the tariff reduction bill as vote in
favor of the continuance of taxation, and
would visit their diSpleasure upon them
by simply celebrating the political
prospects of Messrs. NELSON and LIND.
Given the ambition that is known to
possess each, we confidently believe
that neither will make the sacrifice
which our contemporary seems to ex-
pect of them. 1t is reasonably certain,
unless they are mad enough to commit
political hari-kari that the votes Of both
will be found in the aye column when
the MILLS bill comes up for passage.

GETTING SCARED.

AS much as the Republican leaders in
Minnesota profess to look upon the
prohibition movement as an insigniti-
cant affair, it is evident that they are
trife afraid of it. In fact, it begins
to look as if the Prohibitionists
were getting the Republicans into a
corner when dyed-in-thewool Repub-
lican organ like the Glencoe Register
comes out flat-footed in advocacy OF
proposition to lift the Republican
party up on to prohibition platform,
and urges as the ground Of its advocacy
of this proposition that concession is
better than political death. 1t insists
that the Chicago convention shall COM
nit the Republican party to an aggress-
i've policy against the saloon and
declare itself in favor of prohi-
btion as the ultimate solution of the
liquor question. In presenting its rea-
sons for insisting upon this new politi-
cal departure, the Glencoe paper says:
political organizations cannot live
long and thrive on the glOries of past
achievements. There is only one nota-
BILE exception to this in history. The
old gales that drove our ship so proudly
over troubled waters have died away in
the distance, and our sails will hang
loose in dead calm if no new breeZeS
arise from new quarter. The purpose
of political ship is to carry cargo of
living issues" Here is frank an | full
admission that the republican party is
absolutely without a live issue, and that
the only thing in sight for it to take up
is the prohibition question. 1t has car
ried its mummy cargo of dead issues I'M
til its momentum is almost expended.
The feeling here expressed is shared
in to very large extent by the most
observant of the Republican leaders,
not only in Minnesota, but throughout
the country. Even the bosses are dis
couraged by the dead calm which pre-
walls on Republican seas. They feel
that it is inviting overwhelming defeat
to make square issue with the Demo
Gratis on tariff reform. Yet there is
nothing else for them to do unless they
attempt to reyivify the party by adopt
ing radical temperance policy. The
temperance element in the party will
hold preliminary convention in New
York to take such steps as may be
deemed necessary to force the temper
ance issue into prominence in the Chi
cago convention.
