The Utah commission took UP a
great many of the legislative returns
yesterday and brought out the official
figures on the election. Some surprises
became the order, but most of the
figures were as has been predicted.
The unexpected vote of Park City, in
giving 81 majority for the Republican
ticket, gave the opposition two seats,
while Silver precinct elected Sears In
the count in the Ninth representative
lust before Mapleton was reached,
Dougall had % majority. Colonel Cod
frey remarked that the district was
not so close as had been represented,
but was almost bowled over when the
returns in the last two precincts were
had.
The item which attracted most at
tention was the following protest,
which was filed in the morning:
To the Honorable Members Of the
Board Of Registration and Election
Of Utah Territory:
Gentlemen:-I, Joshua Greenwood,
of Fillmore, county of Willard, terri
tory of Utah, do hereby protest against
your issuing any certificate of election,
as well as against your counting or
considering any returns showing that
any votes have been cast for Orange
Seeley as a member of the council
from the Ninth council district of
Utah territory to the thirty-f1rst legis-
lative assembly of Utah territory, upon
the ground that said Orange Seeley
was not at the time of the election,
nor is he now, eligible for such cleo
ton TO said Office. Said ineligibility
arises from the fact that said Orange
Seeley, at the time Of the election,
was, and now is holding a commits
sion and appointment under the
United States other than that of
postmaster towit: commission and
appointment to the Office of probate
Judge of Emery county, Utah territory.
Very Respectfully,
JOSHUA GREENWOOD.
AT o'clock in the afternoon Mr.
Schroeder appeared to argue the case
for Greenwood, but on the representa-
ton that at 10 this morning some one
would be present to speak for Mr..
Seeley, the matter went over.
When the matter is taken up this
morning, Governor Robertson will pre-
sent the following affidavit, which is
self explanatory:
Territory of Utah. County of Salt Lake
IS.
L Orange seeley. being first duly
sworn, sa~ that I drafted my resigna-
ton of flee of probate judge of

dresse the same to Grover Cleveland,
presiG Mt United States of America
on tn 18th day of October, 1898, and
ordered The sans to be posted.

be the resignation. dated Oct Is, and
reading as follows:
To the President:
1 respectfully beg leave to submit my
resignation of the office of probate
judge of Emery county, u. T, to which
1 was appointed by President Harrison
August 5. 1892. The condition of public
affairs in the territory of Utah justifies
me in requesting that my resignation
may be accepted Immediately. 1 have
the honor to be
Your ohedient servant,
ORANGE SEELY.
In an attached letter to Charles
Crane. S. ]. Paradice, Republican post
master at Price. writes that the resig-
nation was mailed TO Grover Cleveland
on or about Oct. 20.
The attorneys for Mr.. Greenwood are
prepared to bring evidence that the
resignation has not been filed, and
lively time is expected at the meeting
tomorrow morning, as the seating of
Greenwood is very important, in that
it will give the Democrats a number of
votes equal to the combined strength
of the Liberals and Republicans.
The canvassing board, consisting of
Messrs. Cherry, Lett and Wells. can
Vassed great many returns from the
outlying counties and cities and settled
great many doubts. Before this board
contest will probably come up in the
morning over the vote in Sandy. where
it is alleged there was a great deal of
trickery. This may extend also to the
legislative count
MENDON MUNICIPAL.
Following are the returns from Men
don, Cache county, on the municipal
election:
