THE PIERCE COUNTY CANVASS.
Many Precincts Laid Aside Owing TO
IrreguiAEitiaa nv Inapectors.

TACOMA. Nov. i6-FSpeciaL THE official
count Of the Pierce county vote brings out
many irregularities, tending to demon.
sirate q lack of comprehension of the cleo
.tion laws by precinct officials. Already
hwenty-six precincts have been laid aside
on account of irregularities. Should al
these be thrown out the Republicans may
gain some Offices, and. indeed, az the pres
emf rate, eighteen Tacoma precincts having
been laid aside, Hon. John II. McGraw
might possibly have plurality of the
lsealiv-cast votes OF the county.
At any rate. while the Democrats are
avowing thai If the doubtful precincts are
thrown out the Republicans will have
nearly ali the county Offices. ii Is a fact
nevertheless. Chairman 4 W. Taylor, of
she Republican county committee, says
that, according 10 the unofficial returns. If
Carbonate Is thrown out 1t will defeat
three Republican members OF the lsgislA.

and Kennedy for representatives.. and II
some OF the other precincts are decided
Illegal Charles E. Hall, in the Twentieth
senatorial district. wouid probably be de-
feated in favor of Crandall. DEM, for the
lower house of the state legislature.
The canvass Of the vote is being made
by Auditor Hollis, Judge Campbell and
Commissioner Fay and will consume
about two days. more time. Today the
following precincts. the correctness OF
which are in doubt, were laid aside:
Summer. Mountain View. Nesqually. Arton-
dale, Woodruds, Chop. Carbonados Hunts
Prairie.
Also the following precincts In this city:
First and Third Of the Fifth ward.
Second, Third, Fourth and Seventh OF the
Third ward.
Second Of the Eighth ward.
First Rud Third of the First ward
First and second of the Seventh ward
First OF the second ward.
First, second, Third and Fourth OF the Fourth
ward.
1t is Judge Campbelps opinion that the
recounting would have no effect on the
candidates already mentioned as elected.
1t is noteworthy that majority of the
judges were guilty of carelessness. and
were not familiar with the law. The
points on which it is expected the pre-.
cincts will be thrown out are:
First-oficers not being sworn in properly.
Second-List of voters no; certified TO.
Third-Bsllots not properly sealed and strung
according 20 law.
Steve Judson, who has charge Of the in
terests OF the Democrats at the official can
vass, says:
The canvassing board has no authority to
throw out any precinct whateve. All it can do
besides correcting manifest clerical errors is 70
report what IT finds In the count Then the can
dida'es, II they choose, may contest on the re.
ported Irregularities So far over 400 votes
have been set aside. 1t won't do to deprive these
voters OF their franchise. The canyassing board
could elect whoever Il pleased If allowed to
throw out precincts. II the doubtful precincts
are not counted tomorrow We shall mandamus
the canvsssing board and compel it to count
them
There Is much discussion regarding
what should De done. If the precincts
should be thrown out Caughran, Rep,
would be elected senator. Judson charges
that the Populists favor throwing out pre-
clncts which are against them and count.
ing those for them. Some Democrats are
consumed by the belief that Republicans
and Populists will strike out and leave in
precincts enough TO elect whOmever they
please. There is no ground for this belief.

Railroad Appeals q Damage Suit.

SAN Francisco, Nov. 16.-The Spokane
Falls & Northern Railroad Company has
appealed to the United States circuit court
of appeals from judgment for 81, 500 and
costs found against it in faver Of w. II.
Ziegler. by the circuit court of Washing
ton. Ziegier was the owner, by pre-emp-
ton patent, of eighty acres of land near
the city of Spokane. The railway COM
pany, under the laws of Washington. had
seized strip twenty feet wide running
diagonally across the tract and had graded
a roadbed along its length by making GER
tain cuts and fills. Ziegler sued for $50, 900
damages. as he had plated his tract into
blocks for building purposes. The railroad
company appealed from the verdict, on the
ground that the damages awarded were
excessive and were given under the infiu-
ence of passion and prejudice; also that
the evidence was insufficient. The COM
pany's defense was that the plaintiff had
acquired his rights by entry and patent
after the construction Of the road.

was published, consented to talk about it.
He said:
l am an unfortunate man who has had no.
fo1iety thrust upon him, and although the
public may look upon the letter as joke it has
been very serious matter with me- have
been talsef about and had the finger of scorn
pointed at me, and ali because some one,
whose conduct l shall not stop TO char
acterize, forged my name. was never in
California in my LIE; l never wrote the
letter attributed to me; have not publicly
denied the letter previously, because when il
was written was on my farm in Ontario. Ny
isiher was i'll and diei, and then was ill The
matter had gone too far then. and IL would have
done no good t. deny it Whether the man who
wrote the letter used my name by design il
more than know. This is the tirst time have
ever ta!Aet for publication on the matter. and
hop: the public will believe me. If an affidavit
will help the matter I am ready to swear never
knew SackviIie West, never wrote to him, nor
ever had personal knowledge of anybody's writ

egatees, names unknown, are residents OF

A REMARKABLE LETTER.
1t Is Said to Have Been Written by Grant
to C0HkiiRg in Nay, 1880.

COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 20-The Dispatch
to-day prints an interesting letter, written
in May, 1880, by General Grant to Roscoe
COnkling, regarding the latter's efforts to
have the general nominated for the third
term. General Grant expresses his appTe-
citation of the tribute paid his services to the
country by Conkling but fears the latter
overestimates them and underestimate the
indulgence of the country.
There have been," said he, "exgencies
that warranted a second term, but l don't
believe the best interests or the country's
good ever demanded third term or ever
will. | had my doubts even as to the ad-
visibility Of a second term, and you know
/ so expressed myself to you. In a repub-
lie, cosmopolitan like ours, man's.fame is
too frequently dependent upon the status
of public sentiment To-day you are popular,
/ Tomorrow submerged beneath wave of
adverse sentiment. The country is full of
| bTalny, ambitious men, who can serve 1t
eminently we'll as President, and | sim
| cereiy question the policy OF thwarting their
ambition. feel that the country has amply
repaid ME for all Of my services, and that
to be candidate or to accept nomination
for n third term would be ingratitude, and
would eventually affect me with the people
who love me and whom love"
Grant goes on to say that the estrange-
menL DelHoSU Dldlne Guu OOHKIlnR unless
checked must prove of mutual disadvantage
and lie a stumbling block in the way of
the ambitions Of both. II believe"
he said, that could the differences
existing be ameably adjusted the
nomination this year would go to one,
leaving the honor four years hence more
than probable for the 9th r. 1t is necessary
for the good of each gentleman, for the
good Of the party aud the good OF the coun-
try that an amicable adjustment should be
reached. ! fear the presentation of my
name at the convention would not only
assist in the defeat OF Blaine but seriously
affect your future, besides warping my
career. Even should | be nominated doubt
if could be elected as | seriously doubt
whether any man eau ever again be elected
for a second term, unless there should be
some extraordinary emergency. / appre-
ciate your position, as you say you will
make the final and supreme effort of your
life for supremacy. Yet in the face of all,
| still believe my name should not be pre-
sented. | trust you will consider carefully
my wishes | am generous enough to suffer
myself rather than have my friends suffer,
II convinced that any act of mine would
cause them to suffer-"
