70 the Justices OF the Peace.
The township board of canvassers
composed o. Supervisor Conrad Schnei
der. Assessor John Barge. Collector
VIM. Gahagen and Town Clerk Robert
Koehler, met yesterday afternoon and can,
vassed the vote Of the township election
OF last Tuesday. completing its duties at
3 o'clock. The board found itself in q
peculiar predicament as to the matter OF
the vote received by 3. F. Cooke, s. C.
Cooke and T. J. Medill for the office OF
justice of the peace. 1t was found tn at
=. +. Cooke received 1881 votes; 8 @.
Cooke 80 and T. j. Medill, Jr., 1192.
While 1t was apparent that the votes cast
for IS. c. Cooke" were intended for rs.
F. Cooke" there being a typographical
error as to initials in the printing Of q
portion OF the tickets. 1t was a fact that
Mr.. Medill had received the greatest
number Of votes cast. The board being
In quaudary. sought legal advice from
States Attorney O'Mara, and upon his
opinion decided that upon the face Of the
returns there was no other alternative
than to declare Mr.. Medill elected.
Technically and upon the face Of the re>
turns he was elected. though in the spirit
Of the returns be was not.
After taking all the circumstances into
consideration and believing that the
votes cast for "S. g. Cooke" were In.
tended for IS F. Cooke" Mr.. Medill has
decided not to qualify. He Is not an
xious to attain glory on the strength Of
mistaken intentions, and while be will be
declared elected. he will not put Mr..
Cooke to the trouble Of contest which
would give him the Office. but will simply
decline to accept the commission, thus
allowing Mr.. Cook to hold over. The
spirit of liberality and consideration thus
manifested by Medill will not lose him
any of the staunch friends who gave him
such an exceedingly complimentary vote
on this occasion, and 1t will make him
many new ones.
