RETURNS AL CAAVASSED.
THE SUPERVISORS CONCLUDE THEIR
LAB0RIoUs TASK.
Sheriff MchIullen Claims That Lee
Stanley Has Not Been Elected
Tax Collector.

Late last evening the Supervisors and
their special clerks completed the canvass
OF the county election returns. When the
final footings had been made the clerks
read of the results, and when the county
offices were reached Supervisor Bates Of
fered formal resolution declaring elected
those candidates who received the MAORI
ties of the votes cast for the respective Of
fees for which they were candidates.
At this juncture Sheriff McMullen, who
was present and evidently had something
on his mind, handed Clerk Hamilton a
communication which he wished to have
read.
Tebbets said the matter was out of order
There was a resolution before the Board
declaring certain persons elected to offices,
and the business of the Board should not
be interfered with.
Mr.. McMullen insisted that he had a
right to be heard in the matter. He wished
to protest against the Board declaring Lee
Stanley elected as Tax Collector, as he had
not been elected to that office and had no
right thereto. Many of the ballots-those
headed Citizens Republicaa and "Citi-
zens Democratic" land counted for Mr.. STAN
ley were printed simply For Sheriff, the
words Tax Collector" having been
omitted. Ii the Board would receive his
communication it would do Mr.. Stanley no
injustice. Now was the proper time for
him 10 file his protest-before the result of
the canvass was announced.
Mr.. Tebbets insisted on q vote being
taken on the resolution before the Board
Supervisor Greer (who was acAng as
Chairman in the absence of Mr.. Ross) sug-
gested that the Board should allow Mr. Nc
Mullen 10 file his protest, as it had allowed
others to do, and he should rule that its
reception was properly in order.
THE CHAIR ovERRULED.
Mr.. Tebbets appealed from the decision
of the Chair, and the other members of
the Board voted against sustaining the
Chair.
Clerk Hamilton then asked what refer
ence he should make in his minutes of the
proceedings TO what had Just transpired,
and Supervisor Tebbets settled it by saying:
Nothing. Now go on and read the Bates
resolu ion "
The resolution was then read and
adopted.
This done, Mr. McMullen was allowed to
hausted its power in the matter and de-
clared the result
Mr.. McMullen laid his claim on this
proposition: He refers to the County Gov
eminent Act of 1888, which enumerates
the various offices to be filled as Sheriff,
Clerk, Assessor Auditor, Tax Collector,
ETC., and which provides that Boards of
Supervisors may, by proper ordinance, con-
solidate the offices of Sheriff and Tax Col
lector. This, he says, the Board of Super
visors has not done, and that the offices re-
main separate and distinct that he has
received a majority of the votes cast for Tax
Collector, and that even if he had not he is
still entitled to hold the Office, SIS the Super
visors' proclamation did not provide for
any such officer at the late election.
He first asked that the Board issue to
him certificate of election, and that being
refused he filed protest against certifi-
cate being given to Mr. Stanley as Tax Col
lector.
