Thus a correct count showed Dunn
as having 20 votes more than he was
given in the official returns, and that

into punches, but the total Prices

T.. l.. Pierce ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The votes OF E. L. were counted as
for E. E., and the total was $500
upon which the certificate OF election
was granted. The total for all Price
and pierce votes was $3.50, and the
loss through the recount has now
duced that to $500. The Dunn vote
YVES $500, and the gains have now
brought it up to 1855. Whatever
additional re-counts are made will
tend to make similar changes, for tht
reason that Dunn being the strong
est man on the ticket and price the
weakest, a mistake Of counting 8
crooked Democratic ticket az
straight would generally result i1
giving Price vote that should go tc
Dunn.
There can be no question now q
Mr.. Dunn's success in his contest, anC
the result is 50 positive that the op
position are engaged in a fruitlesi
effort. 1t remains to be seen whether
Price will have the nerve to present
his certificate Of election and demand
a seat in the legislature. The courts
have declared that he has no lega
right to it, and the recount shows
that he has no claims to it on any
grounds. 1t Is the duty Of Price anC
! friends, who were such sticklers fOl
| exact justice to now concede Mr.
Dunn his right to a seat in the house
! From the St Paul News.
MIR. Dunn Proving a Winner.
The contest of Hon, r, c.. Dunn. OF
