The morning call., 1890-11-12
STROTHER Is QUIET.
A Good Nights Rest Seems to
Have EaSed His Mind.
No Errors Of Importance Discovered By the
oanvass-knother Republican Member
of the Assembly.

The second days proceedings of the Flee
ton Commission in the work of canVassing
the official returns were as fiat as ditch
water, aud nothing occurred to cause a rip
pie of excitement. Even Auditor Strother
was Qiet, and good nights rest or wise
| counsel had caused him to maintain a COM
parative degree of silence.
Comparative is used because his old habit
| of kicking has grown upon him TO such an
extent that he found it impossible to keep
entirely quiet, and at intervals he could be
heard to mutter in a smothered tone of voice
about Phil Crimmins and the use of money.
He chewed ferociOusly at toothpick and
glared in turns at Attorney Dorm and Tax
Collector O'Brien, but SO far as they were
concerned he kept his peace.
When the commission met all the members
were present, as were also Registrar Smiley
and Attorneys Alderman and Dorm, while
the lobby was filled with candidates and
their friends.
TO EXPEDITE MATTERS.
Mr.. Alderman at the outset stated that he
had had a consultation With Mr.. Dorm, and
that they had arrived at the conclusion that
the only way to expedite matters was to
have clerks to verify the tally-sheets before
tllCg hFtG CdufdSScus dlu uC,
suggested that this be DONE Some little
discussion ensued, which resulted in the
adoption OF the suggestion and the appoint
ment of the following clerks: Democrats
Thomas +. Clarity, James p. Devine and
William Broderick. Republicans-W. j.
DisbrOw, Gus Gunzend0rfer and Lewis
New man. A side table was provided for
these clerks, who commenced work at once
by footing up the Third and Fourth Pre-
cincts of the Twenty-ninth District, while
the commission took up the Fifth Precinct
without delay.
Mr.. StrGther, who never loses chance,
arose at this point with an objection, and
demonstrated against the presence of W. II.
II. Hart, w. II. L. Barnes and A Rueff,
stating that he proposed to have fair play,
which he deemed impossible with four Re-
publicans pitted against one Democrat.
Mr.. Alderman informed him that no legal
question was likely to arise in the canvass.
1t ended, however, by the Republicans Civ
ing way to Mr.. Strother, and Dorm and
Alderman alone remained to represent the
legal fraternity.
CHANGES MADE IN THE COUNT.
The canvass of the Fifth Precinct showed
one change, by which Siebe gained 10 votes,
through an error in footing.
The taly-sheet of the First Precinct was
then turned over to the clerks, and the in
accuracies easily adjusted. 1t showed the
following changes: Ruddock lost 9, j. V.
OOHey gained D, LdumelSler gained Z, Tres
well lost l, Garwood gained l, Hunt and

The canvass was continued until the
Fourth of the Thirtieth was reached without
the discovering of any errors of an import
ant nature, the largest change being in the

We're unaccounted for. The commission
then adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning,
when the work will be resumed with the
