The new election law has some
stringent regulations intended to
keep dishonest ballot box manipula
tors out of the boxes after the ballots
have been counted by judges of cleo
ton. One of these provisions is that
the ballots, copy of the poll book
and tally sheet shall be placed in
the box and the box locked, the key
given to the minority judge who are
required to deliver the keys to the
Clerk of the Circuit Court on Thurs
day. The boxes are not to be open
ed for 6 months after the election.
The judges of the fifth, sixth and
eighth districts locked the tally
sheets in the boxes and kept no copy
hence had no means of making re-
turns of the vote of these districts.
Every body being willing however
to have the votes counted, the judges
called committee of lawyers, who
advised them to count from ballots
that had been used as memoranda of
votes, and for the eighth district a
telegram which some person had
received was made to do duty in,
place of tally sheet. "
