well, it may be partially prepared, "
said Mr. Russell.
Mr.. Cruise wanted to 90 on with the
| recount, and commenced to tear the
Triadelphia Town bag open. DR.. Bates
did not see this, and moved arecess IN
! til Z o. a., but when his attention was
drawn to the torn bag he withdrew the
motion.
NO GUARANTEE"
"Well," said Mr.. Hubbard, sam / to
understand that l am to have no guar
antee?"
"The recount will proceed" said
President Cruise.
And there is no guaranteed"
''NO guarantee" said the President.
Mr.. Hubbard and Mr.. Smith left the
room, and the recount Of the precinct
commenced at sos D. N. At twenty
five minutes Of six Mr.. Hubbard reap
peared somewhat short of breath from
a sprint he had made up the Public
Building stairs TO the Judges room, and
not finding Mr.. Smith in the Board room
he handed paper to the editor Of the
/ NelUs, who made a straight shoot for
some unknown locality in the capacity
| Of
! MESSENGER BOY
in the interest of Mr.. Smith. Mr..
Hubbard then looked around the room
aud also disappeared with considerable
velocity. While he was out DIR. Bates
offered a resolution that Immediately
after the result Of the recount vas
read the Board stand adjourned until
! this morning at half-past nine o'clock,
and the motion was adopted. The re-
suit of the recount was then
read by the clerk. 1t showed
loss of one for Hervey,
even for the Democratic Legislative
ticket. a loss of one for the Republican
| Legislative ticket, and even on Sheriff.
Mr.. Hubbard came in, showing signs OF
PHYSICAL EXERTIoN
as the reading commenced, and as the
reading was concluded he said:
'Mr. President, tender bill Of ex-
ceptions and ask that it be signed"
Mr.. Gruse-A mOtion has been adopt
ed that the Board take recess until
$3.50 q. m.
Mr.. Hubbard-That was when the
package had been signed up. 1t has
not been signed, and l call attention to
the fact. l now tender a bill OF eXcep-
tions and ask that it be signed.
Mr.. Cause.-The package has been
signed. / have signed it.
Mr.. Hubbard-It has been signed by
but two members, and it should be sign
ed by all.
MIR. Gruse-No, sir. The Board has
adjourned; it passed motion to ad-
iourn and it has adjourned.
Mr.. Hubbard-You decline to receive
this bill?
Mr.. Cause.-The Board has adjourned.
Mr.. Hubbard-The Board had not adj
iourned When l rendered the bill. You
decline TO receive the bill?
There was no answer to this, as the
members generally had left the table
and were putting on their overcoats,
and Mr.. Hubbard withdrew with very
conspicuous tired" look.
1t will be at once apparent to the
reader that the Board having adjourn
ed before Mr.. Hubbard came in with his
bill of exceptions, the matter could not
have been taken up without a reconsld-
Grafton of the Boards action in passing
/ the resolution to adjourn. 1t will also
be observed that no Republican mem
Der made any such motion to reconsid-
er. The simple fact is that Mr.. Hub.
bard left the Board room to do little
pedestrian work, and the Board ad-
iourned while he was away, although
the members were still in the room
when he returned and the result OF the
recount OF the precinct had still to be
announced. But the reading OF that
result, when completed, closed the SEES
sion for the day under the motion pro-
viding for a recess, and hence the bill
of exceptions could not have been re,
ceived except, as stated, the Board had
reconvened.
ANOTHER NIANDANiUs BREWING.
After the Board had adjourned the
Republican counsel again sought j Judge
Campbell, with an affidavit, ana the
result was that the following paper
was served upon President Cruise, last
night:
"WCSt Virginia;
