Many Districts Not Heard From.

last night at o'clock returns had not been
made in 16 districts They are Franklin
township, Fawn township, first district of
Finley township, first district of Lincoln
township, Marshall township, second dis
trict of McKeesport, Duquesne, fourth dis
trict of Twelfth ward, Pittsburg, first and
second districts of Forward township, third
district of First ward, Pittsburg, eleven dis
tricts of Third ward, Allegheny, fourth dis
trict of Elizabeth township, Pine township,
second district of Stowe township, and sec
ond and fourth districts of West Deer town.
ship.
The returns are usually late in coming
from these districts, except in one or two
instances. They are all expected in by noon
to-day when the official count is begun.
The Baker ballot law does not make much
more work for the Prothonotary than the
old system. The returns take up more
room, however. The envelopes are larger
than they used to be. This is because the
voters check list is put In them now.
People Hunting Late News.
The office was filled with people yester-
day who were interested in the Senatorial
fights The return sheets are over 10 feet
long this year, and they were stacked high |
on four long tables The interested people |
were pushing them over searching for in |
formation, and considerable kicking was |
heard over the amount of paper to be |
handled.
The Baker ballot system is we'll liked BY |
the people of Allegheny county now. They |
have tested it and are satisfied that with q |
few notifications it will be the proper |
thing. The judges as they made their re-
turns all had a good word to say for it, and |
with one or two exceptions they completed /
the count this year as usual. In some dis
tricts there were a good many tickets
spoiled, but as a whole there but few to
throw out in Allegheny county.
Commissioner Mercer was a happy man
Yesterday. He was receiving encouraging
reports about the system from all over the
county. The Commissioners had asked the
judges to make reports of any defect in the
law they noticed. Some of them noted
changes that would be desirable, but there
was ouly one Election Board in the county
which was opposed to the system. In two
instances voters had carefully folded their
ballots up without making mark on them
and put them in the box.
Extra Tickets a Jonah.
One of the greatest troubles Yesterday
was what to do with the extra ticket The
law said they were to be put in the ballot
box, but as the extra package made bulk
larger than the box this was out of the
question. Mr.. Merrer's advice was to mt
them on top Of the box. In speaking of the
probable cost Of the new system over the
old, he said it would cost the county from
$50, 600 to $40 600 more than the former way.
The ewes of the local Democrats are
turned anxiously toward the Federal offices.
and in the downtown resorts Yesterday the
enthusiastic partisans talked only of the
Offices and the probable officer John B.
Larkin and p. Foley are both spoken of as
candidates for the Pittsbnrg postoffice. T.
O'Learv, Jr., is talked of as a
probable candidate for United States
marshal. Ex-Sherif John Guffey is
while john c. Bayne, of Washington
