cHlCAGO'S ELECTION.
Canvass of the vote-Testimopy as to Al
legged Fraud.
tBy telegraph to the DIspatch.l

tBy telegraph TO the Dispatch.1
/ CHICAGO. April 1.-THE Board of Elec-
ton Commissioners met to-day for the pur-
pose of taking up the canvass OF votes cast
at the city election on Tuesday. The
board first proceeded to hear evidence IN
the matter of the alleged misconduct OF
Dennis 6heehan, one OF the judges OF cleo
ton in the Nineteenth precinct OF the
Twentieth ward. Sheehan is the man for
whose arrest bench-warrant was issued
Yesterday on complaint of the Chairman OF
the Republican Campaign Committee;
s. p. Harris, one of the Republican
Judges, testified that after the polls were
closed ON alteration arose as to who should
count the tickets to see whether they tai
lied with the number of votes cast as
shown by the register. Sheehan demanded
the KEY to the ballot-box, and, it being
refused him, he took hammer and broke
the box. At the same time the crowd out
side broke in the window. Harris SAID he
was informed that there was conspiracy
to destroy. the ballots and the poll-oooks;
In the confusion the ballot-box disappeared
and was afterwards found in an inner
room. Harris then demanded that Shee-
han be arrested, and it was done. After
remaining in jail for IN hour he was re-
leased on bail.
Sheehan testified that the whole trouble
! arose from the fact that Harris wanted to
run things to suit himself and did not pro-
pose to allow the Democratic judges to
have any voice in the matter: He ad-
mitted that he broke the box with ham
uer, but said that it was with no intention
of fraud. Mr.. Harris refused to open the
box with the key and he (Sheehanl opened
| IL in the best way he could In order that
| the work of counting the ballots might
proceed. The investigation was then put
over until after the completion OF the can
yass.
When the board turned it's attention to
| canvassing the votes Judge Prendergast,
who represents the Cregier. wing OF the
Democratic party, appeared before 1t and
made an argument against the legal
right of City-Attorney Sugg, member OF
| the board, to sit as such, on the ground
| that he was O candidate at the late cleo
| ton and was hostile to MIR. Cregier. The
| objection was overruled on the ground OF
established precedent, and the matter was
| dropped. The canvass was then begun,
and after canvsssing the First Ward, sub
| ject TO revision in certain precincts, which
were objected to, the board adjourned,until
Monday morning. The result OF the
vote in this ward as canvassed shows o
loss of 20 votes by Cregier, Of by Wash
burne, and by Harrison.
JUDGES ARRESTED.
Warrants have been issued for the arrest
| of Election Judges Cummings and Flaher-
ty. The charges against them are SIX In
| number, alleging variety OF crooked Work
| with the ballots.
