ties, as no inaccuracies il the totals
published or returned by the election
boards will change the general result.
The actual majorities in some of the
Offices will not be known until the Off
cial canvass of the votes, which begins
before the board of supervisors on Mon
dav morning, owing to the manner in
which the returns were made, but with
one or two exceptions the pluralities
will range about as heretofore pub
lished.
Marion Cannon, John r. Mathews,
Frank G. Finlayson and 7. j. Kerns OF
the congressional and legislative ticket,
James Hanley, supervisor; j. De Barth
Shorb, treasurer; Gen. E. E. Hewitt,
tax collector; I'll. @. Dillon, district at
torDey; A. r. Street, surveyor; l.. s.
Seaman, city justice; g. S. Bartholo.
new, township justice, and A. p. Rich
ardson are elected by pluralities ranging
pretty close in some instances and very
large in others.
Owing to the complications in the
Dillon vote the totals do not bit very
close to his plurality, but with the
changes that will appear from the official
| count he will have safe majority.
Last evening the Express attempted
to correct some of the HERALD's figures
on Mr.. Shorb's plurality, but, as usual
with that monumental sheet of inaccu-
racies, it made an amusing mistake.
They give Mr.. Shorb S722 votes and Mr..
Banburry S65l, announcing his plurality
as III, by which they gained 100 votes
in mysterious manner.
At O'Clock yesterday afternoon Mr..
Alexander, deputy county clerk, in
formed a HERALD reporter that the total
Republican majority on the electoral
ticket in the county is 2057, on figures
made in the Office.
A protest has been filed by citizens of
Catalina requesting that the vote of that
precinct be thrown out on account of
irregularities. Rhe petitioners claim
that the polls were not opened until Z 80
O'Clock, and that some Of the election
board were disqualified. one of them
having been deputy registration clerk
up to the day of election. AS the pre-
cinct polled but 2S votes, the throwing
out or counting of the ballots will not
materially affect the general result.
CENTRAL COMMITTEE MEETING.
The Democratic city central commit
tee held meeting last night with j.
Marion Brooks, chairman, and E. E.
Shaffer, secretary. Election officers for
the municipal election were selected
from each precinct and ordered certified

to the end that the city own its gas and
water system.
The resignation OF Mrs Threlkeld as
nominee for member of the board of
education from the Ninth ward was ac-
cepted and Mr.. Lawburn was upani-
mously nominated to fill the vacancy on
the ticket. A vote of regrets was unan-
imously rendered Mr.. Hardness and
Mrs. Threlkeld, that they could not re-
main On the ticket, both being expressly
qualified for the respective positions

as a member OF the commit ee from the
Thirteenth precinct was accepted, and
the Democratic leaders of the precinct

the 14th inst, at Z 80 O'Clock.
THE RATIFICATION.
The arrangements were completed
yesterday for the big ratification meet
ing tonight. and the order of parade will
be found elsewhere in this issue. There
is every indication that there will be an
immense turnout. Advices received by
the grand marshal indicate that there
will be large crowds from surrounding
towns.
The exercises at the pavilion will be
especially entertaining, as several elo-
quent speakers will be present.
