ceptfons aud Changes.
HARTFORD, Nov. 26-The board of cam
vassers met at the Capitol to-day a little
after noon. There were present Secretary
Walsh and Treasurer Henry, Comptroller
Wright being absent on account of sick
ness. The returns had to be sent to Mr..
Wright by special messenger for his sigma
ture.
The official returns show that in certain
voting districts, a large number of ballots
were cast which were not counted for the
following reasons, viz: Prohibition
votes not printed in conformity with the
law" "not printed according to law"
"the word for was printed before
the name of the Office voted for
marked" ',illegal,n and for other causes
which were not specifically stated. No re-
turns of the names of the persons for
whom these ballots were cast has been
made.
Four ballots cast for Mr.. Morris read
81. B. Morris" instead of 'Luzon B.
Norris" and Mr.. Merwin had one such
ballot cast for him. These have been
counted and precedent thus established.
Following this precedent Mr.. Robertson,
democrat, has been declared elected state
senator instead of Mr.. Noyes, republican,
in the Eleventh district. Mr.. Kibbe, DEM
Tolland county in the same way.
The board also stood by the face of the
returns in the case of state senators, con-
gressmen, sheriffs and judges of probate.
Below are the figures for state officers as
shown by the face of the returns. The
legislature has power to rectify any errors
or omissions that have been made; in other
words, can go behind the face of the re-
turns. Following precedent set by the
democratic board of canvassers in 1871 the
board will notify the general assembly that
s'the official returns show also that in GER
tain voting districts a large number of bal
lots were cast which were not counted. /"
This report will bring before the general
assembly the question whether to accept
the face of the returns or to investigate the
cause of the rejection of the votes and find
for whom they were cast. The senate be-
ing democratic and the house republican,
deadlock may result in case of failure to
agree:
GOVERNOR.
