Tho warden of Ward 8 claims, and the
Argus sustains the claim, that Messrs.
Kent and Lefapor were not elected coun--
ci1snen on Monday because they did not
receive votes equal In number to one
more than hale of all Australian ballots
placed in the box. The number of these
ballots was 1907, but "a of them were
blanks as regards councilmen. That is
to say, only 1,1sa votes were
cast for ceuncilmen. A. majority
of 1,1sS is 592, and Messrs.
Kent and Lefavor each received 594, and
were elected. 1t is curious fact that
when the Argus gets to the vote on ward
lines it entirely abandons the counting of
blank ballots. The vote on ward lines
was 1925 in favor to 2457 against, and
the Argus claims a majority. But if
the rule obtains here which it sets
I'D in the case of the councilmen then
there is not a majority for the ward
lines. for the number Of ballots thrown
must have been equal to the whole num-
Der of votes for Mayor which is 1901.
Thus there must have been 900 blanks
on ward lines. Reckoning these blanks
there must have been thrown one more
than half the total number of votes for
Mayor for the ward lines in order to give
them majority. One half of the Mayor
vote is 1895 so 1896 votes must have been
required to give the ward lines a majori-
ty. But the yes vote amounted to only
1926.
The Portland daily press., 1893-03-08

In the former of these wards when the
vote was declared the figures showed a
majority for Mr.. Ingraham far exceeding
/ the widest dreams of everyDemocrat and
the fears of any Republican. Hardly had
| the vote been declared when the warden
threw all the ballots into the stove,
thus destroying all the evidence which
they might have efforded of fraudulent
or incorrect count. The only tangible
evidence left to determine whether the
count was accurate and fair was the
checklist. AS the voter steps inside the
rail he gives his name to the ballot clerk
and the election clerk then consults his
list of the names of the registered voters
and sees if the name given appears. IT
SO the name is checked and ballot given
he voter. When the voter arrives at the
ballot box he again gives his name and
before he can cast his vote his name must
be found and checked. So it will be
seen that there are two complete records
of the names of the persons who have
voted. These records .or checklists are
sealed up after the polls are closed and
deposited in the custody Of the city clerk
The number of names checked on these
lists should correspond to the number of
votes thrown SO that by counting the
names and comparing the result with the
whole number of votes declared by the
warden any fraud or inaccuracy in the
count would appear.
Several Republicans appealed to the
city clerk yesterday for permission to in
spect this check list but it was refused
| First, every member of the opposite
party was excluded from Ward l, so
that the Democratic warden had the OPP
portunity to miscount if he was SO dis
posed.
Second, the vote was declared showing
gain of nearly fifty per cent over the
Democratic vote of last year, and gain
over last years majority of about 400 per
| cent.
Third, as soon as this astonishing vote
was declared, the ballots were placed
in the stove and burned.
Fourth, when application was made
for view of the check list which would
have disclosed whether the whole num-
Der of votes declared correspondent with
the number of names checked it, was re-
fused.
| If the counting in Ward was honest
and accurate why this care to conceal
everything by which it might be tested?

Very pretty and cheap low turnover
collars can be made Of the half of one of
those colored bordered handkerchiefs,
which can be bought at ridiculously
low price since they went out of fashion
for their original use.
A pretty way to serve butter is to place
small square of ice on each individual
butter plate. With a, heated poker a
small depression is made in leach. block,
in which are laid one OF two clover leaves
if possible, or a bit of parsley. and in
this cool, green nest the yellow butter
ball appetizingly and effectively re-
poses.
Bathing should never directly follow a
meal, as, it withdraws the blood and
nervous vigor demanded for digestion
from the stomach to the skin.
Knives with iron handles which have
fallen out entirely, can be eemented at
! home, and with small expense by using
this cement: Take four parts of rosin,
one part OF beeswax, one part of plaster
of Paris, fill the whole in the handle
with the cement, then heat the steel of
the handle and press it firmly into the
cement.
The best recipe for polishing shirt
bosoms is to take two ounces of fine gum
arabic powder, pour on pint or more of
water, cover and let stand over night. In
the morning pour it carefully from the
dregs into clean bottle, cork it and
keep for use. Add a teaspoonful Of this
gum water to a pint of starch made in
the usual way.
Rubber or even leather goods may be
repaired by using the following cement:
Take gum shellac three parts, India rub
Der one part by weight; dissolve these
ingredients in separate vessels in ether
free from alcohol, applying gentle heat.
When Thoroughly dissolved mix the two
solutions and keep in bottle tightly
stopped.
Some of the newest pincushions are Of
miniature form in the shapes of orchids,

1t appears that during the last hours
of the session the Senate passed the
House bills repeating the paragraph OF
the Mckinley tariff law providing for a
duty of four cents per pound on tin
metal after July l, and postponing the
higher duty on linen cloth. Both these
bills, we understand, were approved by
President Harrison. 1t has proved that
the development of tin mining in this
country has not warranted the imposi-
ton of protective duty on tin, and that
the manufacture of linen has not be-
come an industry worthy Of protection,
and the imposition of duties would be
simply tax for revenue only.
