ing. Mr. wineh,ll. accompanied by his attor-
ney, Mr. 4. F. Burleigb, and By Architect Bird,

him thoroughly aware of all tho features of Mr.
Sherwood's case. Mr.. Hale will represent Mr.
Sherwood before the State Board of Canvassers.
Governor Hill continued to-day his farcical en-
animation of the charges against the Republican
Clerk of Onondaga County. Every one
recognized the fact that the County Clerk
was to be removed so as to aid Patrick
j. Ryan TO get certificate falsely assert
ing that he was elected an Assemblyman from
Onondaga County. But there was one thing about
the alleged investigation to-day Of more interest
even then the attempt TO count In Ryan, and that
was David b. Hills evident purpose to lay tho
foundation for evidence to count in John "A.
Nichols, ir, the Democratic candidate for Senator
in the Onodaga- Cortland district. MIR. Nichols
came here on Friday last, and had long confer
ence with the Governor. The counsel at the hear
ing for County Clerk Cotton were L; d.
McLennan and Q. ~ Wilson, of Syracuse They
placed upon the witness stand Deputy, county
clerk in the County Clerks office. Both these
men testified that they put up in packages the
ballots used in Onondaga County. How 1T nap
pened that the Republican ballots of four or i've
election districts became interchanged they did
not know Mr.. Yake had theory, and that
was that certain women clerks In the county
Clerks Office HAD put the sample ballots upon
the wrong packages, and thus misied those VINO
marked them. 49,. .,o..
witnesses that County Clerk Cotton. who is one
armed man, supervised this work and did not do
il himself 1t would have been o physical im-
possibility for Mr.. Cotton TO do it. The Governors
exertions were plainly intended TO establish new
ground for removing Mr. Cotton. The Democratic
counsel Cannon moved that the COMPLAINT should
he amended so as to charge the County Clerk with
performing his duties in a negligent and careless
manner.
Mr. Wilson protested against the amendment
on the ground that il changed the nature of the
charges, but Governor Hill with smile, allowed
the modification.
Mr. McIAnnon was then permitted to make
strong speech in defence of County Clerk Cotton,
its gist being that il any mistakes were made
they were not intentional and that in any case
and not of hs own. ,,,
"The case is closed" said Governor Hill, and
thus il ended. r
Every one believes that Mr.. Hill will remove
County Clerk Cotton in q few hours, and thus
make way for a Democratic County CLERK OF
Onondaga County, who will aid the efforts TO
count in John A. Nichols, jr., as Senator, and
Patrick ]. Ryan as Assemblyman.
