A VITAL QUESTION.
Who Will Issue Election Certifi-
Gates to Superior Judges.

A Question over which the Dig
nitaries of The state are PuzzeI-
ed--sectiOns I'm The Constitutions
al Provisions that Conflict.
A question has been raised as to who
will issue the certificates Of election to the
superior judges recently elected in the diff
ferent counties and districts in this state.
There are a number of conflicting points
in the sections providing for the issuing Of
election certificates that will need the at
tention of the incoming law makers.
Under the territorial law certificates were
issued by the governor TO those state Off
GERS who were chosen by election. Under
the constitution of the state, adopted
three years ago, provision is made that
certificates of election to certain state
officers shall come from the legislature.
Section A. article Of the state constitu-
tion provides that the returns for governor
lieutenant governor, secretary Of state,
treasurer, auditor, attorney general, super
intendent of public instruction and COM
missioner of public lands shall be sealed
up and submitted to the secretary of state,
who shall deliver the same to the speaker
of the house of representatives at the first
meeting of that body after the election. The
speaker shall open and declare the results
of the election in the presence of both
houses. A certificate of election shall be
given the persons elected, signed by the
presiding officers of the house and senate.
1t will be seen from this that no provis-
ion is made for issuing certificates to judges
OF the supreme courts, presidential electors,
state printer and congressman. Secretary
Weir announces, however. that he will as
sumo to issue certificates in conjunction
with the governor to those officers not
specified whose election is shown by the
official returns
In their wisdom, however, the law
judges, whom they created to take the
place Of probate judges. 1t is a question
whether the governor or secretary Of state
shall issue the certificates.
Claims are made, however, that certif-
icate from the county auditor is sufficient.
The chief point in this is who shall issue
the certificates to judges in Joint districts.
There are seven judges of this class in
Washington. An old territorial provision
specifies that the senior auditor shall issue
certificates to the judges of joint districts.
In view of the constitutional provisions up-
on this point which fails to specify certain
officers, the question naturally arises,
"Who will issue the certificates of election
to those not named2"
THUEsToS COUNTY SUPERIOR JUDGE.
With the facts before him as stated
above, the secretary of state yesterday IN
structed Auditor Tweed to issue the GER
tihcate of election to the duly elected
superior judge of Thurston county.

BUFFALO, November 16.-Public excite
ment in the alleged election frauds in this
city and county continues unabated.
Edward Duffy and Justice of the Peace
Durringer, of Cheektowaga were arrested,
charged with forgery in changing the
returns and destroying ballots and all held

started by the democrats, by information
laid before the superior court, mentioning
no names, but alleging certain republicans
had been guilty of attempts to bribe the
inspectors before election in the interests
of certain candidates. L. A. Simons, a
prominent republican lawyer, was placed
on the stand and testified he used no money
improperly in the canvass. Prof. Emer-
son, for superintendent of education, made
the most startling disclosures yet develop
