THE CONTESTED ELECTION

The Montpelier Journal II yesterday
says The Committee on Elections
held bearing last evening on the Ben
nington election case. The attorney for
the remonstrant against the seating of
Mr.. yelling, Franklin Scott OF Benning
ton, did not appear in person but sent
up Wi ten argument, setting forth the
claims nf the clients. Their claim is
that the forty-eight votes which were
cast for the Prohibition candidate, were,
by some mistake in making up the tally
sheet, counted in with the votes of Mr..
yelling. the Republican candidate. If
this bundle nj forty-eight votes is count
ed out. Mr.. yelling will not then have a
majority OF the votes cast and there will
be no election. J. X. Bitchelder Of
Arlington appeared in behalf of Mr..
Yelling. Mr.. Batchelder said that at
tbs freeman's meeting the votes for Re-
preventative were counted by the select
men, the maj ,rity of whom were Dem
ocrats, Immediately after the Represen-
ta'ives' box was turned, and in the pres
ence of several witnesses. Each man
tied the ballots which he counted in
two separate bundles and marked on the
back the number Of votes and for which
candidate. The votes for the Prohibit
ton candidate were however, pushed to
one side and all placed in the same pack
age, which contained forty-eight votes.
This package was lying at the head of
the table, while the bundle containing
the votes for Republican and Democrat
ic candidates were being called off and
the tota added up, and could not by
any possibility have been reckoned in
with Mr.. Weling's vote. The fact that
one package containing forty eight votes
for Mr.. yelling. which was necessary
to subs'aniate the vote as declared,
could not he found the next day, and
that the Prohibition bundle contained
just forty eight votes, had led to the
superstition that these forty-pight votes
for the Prohibition candidate must have
been reckoned in with Mr.. Weling's
vote. The votes were taken to the town
clerks office, an }, as they were left in a
room easily accessible, the bundle could
without difficulty have been distracted
in the night. The statements of MIR
Baichelder were substantiated by the
testimony Of Mr.. Gibson and Mr.. Well
ing of Bennington. The gentleman
from Bennington will undoubtedly re-
tain his etat.
