Going to Contest.

While the official returns of the
election show victory for the demo
cratic ticket by very small majority
the actual result of the contest is YET
to be determined by judicial can
vass of the vote. 1t is alleged thai
sufficient evidence has come to light
from several districts to indicate that
a number of ballots have been Illegal

turns from such districts The re-
publicans contend that if a recount
of the county is made, White repub
lIcan. will have majority over j
A bert Boyd. democrat. Thirty one
ballots which were cast in the fifth
election district were rejected, a can.
vass of which shows. it is claimed
that twenty-six of them should have
been counted. OF this number, if
they are counted, White will get II
and BOYD 9. AS the returns now
stand Boyd has a majority of 8.
which added to 8 would increase bis
vote to II. And as White has II
the vote would be tie.
Mr.. White has employed Robt C
Thackery, Esq. to conduct his case
who petitioned the court for re-
count of the ballots and Judge
Stump in response to the petition
issued the following order.

directed and required to deposit with
the Clerk of the Circuit Court for

be, having first placed the same in an
envelope and properly sealed the

condition has taken backward turn, but
the change is probably not of charac
ter to excite serious apprehension, for
the physicians of the distinguished pa
tient were not summoned in haste, as
has been the custom when Mr.. Blaine
became worse. DR.. johnson made his
regular call at the Blaine residence short
ly before II O'Clock. When reporter
saw him at his residence he was prepar-
ing to visit Mr.. Blaine, and did not seem
alarmed over the information impaired
by the reporter that Mr.. Blaine's butler
had stated this morning that Mr.. Blaine
had passed an uncomfortable night and
was not feeling so well. For the past
two days Mr.. Blaine has suffered from
constipation. and yesterday his condi-
ton was not so favorable as it had been
for several days preceding.
Mr. Blaine is said to be better this
evening by both DIR. Johnston and mem
bers of the family. DR.. Johnston called
on Mr.. Blaine at nine this evening, and
found him 'sdoing very well. :" At eleven
the doctor had retired. The Blaine resi-
dence is closed for the night and the

BosToN. January 3.-The Boston &
Maine railroad directors this afternoon
listened to President McLeod's plan for
new union railroad station for north
ern and eastern railroads. His plan met
the hearty approval of the board. Be-
fore the conference ended, designs for a
station were accepted, and work to be-
gin at once. The projected building is
to be located entirely south of Cause
wav street All trains will arrive and
depart without crossing streets at
grade 1t is designed to occupy
the entire space extending from the
present Boston & Lowell division to the
the tracks of the western division, COW
ering ground nearly equivalent to three
blocks. Haymarket square station will
be abandoned, and the property disposed
of in some manner not yet determined.
The station will accommodate 20 tracks
for passenger trains exclusively. The
freight business will be gradually re-
moved to Charlestown or Somerville
districts where additional tracks and
buildings will be built for its accommo-
dation
