THE VOTE AT SEOALIA.
Some Mistakes Corrected BY a
Examination of the official
Tally Sheets.

SsSosS
The manifest errors in the SUNNI
nary of the vote given for the differ
ent candidates for delegates at large
ut the Sedalia convention between the.
roll call as published, says the St.
Louis Republic, on the morning of
the lib inst. and the total given TO
each candidate has led Us to q vertical
ton of the roll call - kept by the
tally clerk. Our correspondent in
sending the report took q roll CALI
% kept by one of the Gle Ks and made
it part Of bis special without attempt
ing to verify the additions.
The t"t.ls as givin were Maffitt 416
Phelps 3S4, Jones 347, Clardy 29O,
Carroll 2S7, Critic nden 234, Cochran
l2h, Bland 5. Total, 2,1O1.
Ii al counties hid been represented
in the convention there w,uld have
been 526 delegates, and as each dele
gate yrs entitled to 4 votes the total
would have been 2, 104; but Camden
md Carter counties, with vote each
were not rrpresen' ed. which would
reduce the aggregate to 1905.
We have procured ths tally sheets
of the convention for the purpose Of
verifying the record, and find that ir.
our published reports Mr. Phelps was.
credited with 6 votes for DeKalb
county, where he received but 3,
which would reduce his aggregate TO-
1893 Cooper county cast 2 votes for
Carroll, 2 tor Cri,tenden, ) 70: JONES'
5 tor Maffitt. 2 for Clardy and 2 for
Cochran, leaving 2 short, which the
chairman of the delegation declaree
should Lave been given to Mr.. Phelps
which would make his vote 4Ol.
Boone county CHS. Z votes for Car
roll, 3 tor Crittenden, 2 for Jones, s
for Msffitt, 5 for Clardy. 8 for Coch.
ran and 2 for Bland, which is 3 more
than the county was entitled to. In the
published report Adsir county cast 3
votes for Phelps, 3 for Carroll, 8 for
Jones, 3 for Nafitt and 3 for Cochran
which is three more than the county
was entitled to, but the tally sheets
how that none we're given to Mr..
Cochran from that county.
Atchis0n county gave 2 votes to-
. chrsn emitted in the published re-
port. Clay county was entitled to g.
votes and cast but q. Pettis county
n the published report distributed its,
rote as follows: Phelps Z, Carroll T..
Criitenden Z, Jones 6 and Mafitt 7,
which would be 6 more votes than the
county was entitled to. The tally
heets show that Mr.. Carroll received
Tut vote in that county. Governor
jrittenden s'ould BE- credited with 2
20 es from i or'h county.
The voc 81 West county is pub
ished as having given Phelps 3 votes,
l, JOINS /. Msffitt 3 and
cochran 1, which is 8 short of the
'ote to which the county was entitled;
ut it appears from the tally sheets
hat MIR. Clardy received 8 votes from
hat county. One vote from Carroll
ounty should be taken from Mr..
iaffitt and given to Governor Crit
enden, and one vote in Harrison,
ounty should b. deducted from Mr..
laffitt. .
The correct vote a. cast was: Mr..
fsffin, All Mr.. Phelps, 40l; Col.
ones, 347 Mr.. Clardy, 290; Mr..
'arroll. 284; Governor Crittenden.
Sc; Mr.. Cochran, 122, and Mr.
land, 5. There are other slight dis
repancies. but they make no differ
nee with the result; but it is sppar.
ut that great care should be taken in
'lecting tally clerks when the state
ominating convention is held, in OF.
er that no possible mistake is made.
