That Carbondale Tangle.
AT 8 o'clock a. m. the counting of the
votes was resumed and Judge Edwards
received evidence as to the returns
from the First district of the Sixth
ward of Carbondale. The judge ex-
planned that the marks on the tally
sheets showed but III votes for Glenn
ons, and he was anxious to know why
175 votes were marked down and how
the difference of fifty-eight votes was
accounted for.
]. ]. Lowry was sworn and said that
he was judge of election in the district
referred to and explained in detail how
the votes were counted. The straight
Republican votes, he said, were not
marked on the tally sheet, but were
counted directly from the ballot papers
and the figures 5S representing the
straight Republican votes, were in
serted after the figures III, represent
| ing the split votes given for Clemons,
thus bringing up the total of 175 ac-
tually recorded in his favor. Cross
| examined by Attorney Lemuel Ammer-
man on behalf of Candidate Bailey, he
reiterated his statement and was quite
positive that there were fifty-eight
votes marked In thee Republican circle
He was not aware, he said, that 1t was
necessary to mark them on the tally
sheet individually. When examined by
Attorney Torrey, on behalf of Mr.. Glenn
ons, he said that Squire Lowry and N.
c. Purdy We're inspectors, and the over
seers were also present, and were quite
satisfied as to the manner in which the
votes had been counted. The ballot
papers with the straight votes marked
were put In separate parcel after they
were counted and checked so they could
not be re-counted. Mr.. zimmerman sug-
gested that the box should be inspected
with view to satisfy the court that
the fifty-eight ballot papers were there,
but Judge Edwards held that the .eX-
| planation was reasonable one and that
he could not order further search. es-
pecially as both the returns agreed with
the explanation rendered by Mr.. Lowry.

have been 167, and the judge ordered the
