CANVASSING VOTES.
The County Board Hard at WOr X on
the Poll Books,


the Poll Books.
The interesting and notable feature In con-
nection with the canvassing of the county
vote, as now being proceeded with, is the
very scrupulous care with which the work is
being prosecuted.
The task is by no means small one.
Fifty-eight precincts, with an unprecedented
vote in the county, with more scratching
than was ever done before, and greater
number Of party tickets in the field, all con-
wear isome.
The canvassing board consists of County
Clerk O'Malley aud ex-Sheriff Coburn and
ex-Councilman T. H. Daley, his ap-
pointees according to law.
A rule established Immediately upon the
convening of the board, Saturday morning
that its members should not be bothered by
any intrusions whatever has resulted in the
work being progressed with in much more
satisfactory manner than it possibly could
have been otherwise.
The work Of a preliminary examination of
the condition of the poll books and atidavits
was completed yesterday and in addition n
fair beginning was made of the canvass
proper. 1t was found that a much closer
obeyance of the statute provisions as to the
keeping of the books had been observed
than has been the case for many an election.
Evidently every. Judge and clerk was bound
that for once at least none of them should be
summoned to account for anything in the
way of carelessness in the execution Of their
sworn duties.
The work is proceeded with by wards COM
mencing with the First; and the wards by
precincts, the same order being observed.
No precinct or ward Is left until the result
Of its canvass has been completely and unan-
imously agreed upon by the entire board.
Up to the time of the boards adjournment
last night the First ward and the greater
part of the Second had been canvassed, with
the result of finding no material errors.
1t is not expected that the work will be
finished before tonight, if indeed by that
time
