be interpreted beyond Senator, while
the second could, as all the cancella-
ton lines were alike. A short time
afterwards ballot was found, evidently
intended for a straight Democratic
ticket, but on which there was
a short perpendicular pencil mark over
the Prohibition Legislative ticket and
a small pencil "X" on the Peoples and
Republican tickets. The ticket was not
counted at all, Democratic counsel e1-
cepting. The recount showed even for
Tarr and Hervey, loss Of one for
Brockunier, a loss Of one for each OF the
Republican Legislative candidates, even
for FranZheim and a loss OF one for
Moffat
Elm Grove precinct came next. The
originol vote stood: Tarr 12S, Hervey,
l45; BrOckunier 125, ImhOf 127; O'Kane
l2g; Wilson l2S; Smith 146; Rawling
l45: McCulloch l46; Franzheim l29;
Moffat IA. The success Of Mr.. Max
we'll seemed TO excite a good deal OF in
terest among Republicans present, and
they were scarce about the counting
table forQuite o time after the recount OF
Elm Grove had commenced, the Repub-
lican members talking with politicians
OF the same faith in and out
eff the Board room. They
gradually drifted back to their old seats,
however, and when the recount OF the
precinct was concluded all were again
present In this precinct there was
A FORMAL DIVISION
Of the Board on a ballot on which the
Republican, Prohibition and Peoples
tickets were cancelled half way down
and Modatt's name substituted for
Franzhelm's. The motion was TO count
for the whole Democratic ticket, the
writing in of Moffat's name below the
cancellation marks being esteemed a
desire by the voter to vote the whole
Democratic ticket except Sheriff. On
division the vote was four TO four, Mr..
Vollinger being absent. President
Cruise decided il ia the affirmative and
Republican counsel excepted. The re-
count showed a gain of one for Tarr and
even for Hervey; even for the Demo
cratic Legislative candidates, gain OF
one for smith, and even for the other
Republican Legislative candidates, a
gain OF one for FradZheim and a loss OF
one for MofIat.
Triadelphia Town came next. The
original vote stood, T4rr 100, Hervey
1O3; BrOckunier 127, lmhof 129,
O'Kane 100, Wilson $50, Smith
1O7. Medick 1O3. Rawling 1O3,

Fat III. Before the bag was opened,
Mr.. Hubbard, who was absent from the
room when it was determined to go on,
came ia and asked what
THE PROGRAMME
was, and said be would frankly state
his object. Itwas his intention, on be-
half of Mr.. Smith, to tender bill OF
exceptions, and also TO apply to the
Circuit Court for q writ Of certiorari TO
review the proceedings. II he could
get the assurance that nothing would
be done In the way Of declaring the re-
suit until to-day, be would defer action
until this morning. Otherwise, he
would have to act sooner. He asked the
Board tor its determination. In reply to
this, Mr.. Cruise said the Board had not
considered the question, and he pre-
sumed it would not until the time for
action approached. Something was
said about the Board passing upon
the sealed ballots, in the several pre-
cincts. and Mr. Hubbard said he did
not think they could be counted; that
the mandamuses were still In full force
and effect. He thought, also, that his
agreement with Mr.. Howard as 70 GER
rain ballots not included in the man
damuSes issued was in effect as to all
such ballots, otherwise he would have
applied for other writs as they became
necessary. Mr. Caldwell said he would
prefer TO hear from Mr.. Howard as to
what that understanding wSs, and Mr..
Hubbard thought Mr.. Howard would
bear him out, but Mr.. Caldwell doubted

President Cruise
WANTED TO GO AHEAD
with the recount OF Triadelphia town,
and Mr.. Hubbard persisted in his de-
mand that the Board give him the guar
autee that be asked for. President
Cruise wanted TO await the arrival OF
Prosecuting Attorney Howard. Mr..
Hubbard insisted that Mr.. Howard 5
presence or absence had nothing to do
with the Boards granting his request.
He wanted 60 know If silence was re-
fusal. and was assured It was not, out
the Board desired TO 90 on with the re-
count and settle the matter referred TO
by Mr.. Hubbard when IL was reached.
Mr.. Howard came in and Mr.. Cruise
started 10 state the case. Mr. Hubbard
said nothing about his argument, put
Interrupted with the remark that Mr..
Gruse wanted TO talk about one thing
and be had asked the Board as TO an
other. Mr.. Hubbard then restatSd MS
for an assurance from the
BOARD that be should have time to pre-
mare a bill Of exceptions and also to ap-
ply for
and have action upon it. Mr.. Russell
here interposed that he should object
N the Board signing any such a bill OF
evcentions. and Mr.. Hubbard recalled
70 Mr. Howard that that was what the
Snnreme Court had said the Board IN
T[anawbs county should have done IN
Anderson ". the Commissioners. M
Howard said be was not very familiar
Tirh the case. and added that he did
not tbipk be ought to be expected 70
give an opinion instantly, when he hau
