CANvAssING BOARDS WORK.
Confusing Figures GalOre-A Tally
Sheet That Was Lost.

DR.. George Specs, an inspector at Pre-
cinct 4, in Perry township. yesterday
started TO the canvassing board with the
tally sheets lying in the bottom of his
buggy. On the way in they dropped out.
He had to drive back over the course taken
to the city, but the papers were not dis
covered. During the morning a colored boy,
about twelve years of age, entered the
Office of the Board of Public Safety and
handed a miry, crumpled lot OF paper to
Clerk Herrick, with the remark that per-
haps they were worth something. Mr..
Herrick took them at once up stairs to
the board. They were tho duly recorded
and the transcription OF The tally sheets
was completed. The boy was rewarded by
the unfortunate inspector.
The tally sheet was turned over TO Clerk
Balls to be footed up. He began his work
early in the morning, and expected to be
through by 5 o'clock. There were about
20 columns Of about forty figures each to
be counted and verified. and only expert
accountants could have done the work so
thoroughly and perfectly In such time.
After the 1892 election three persons were
detailed for the work and spent the day
at 1t. In the hurry of transcribing the
figures units are not placed accurately
under the proper column, and this occa-
sions delay. The inspectors lost another
day in waiting for the footings to be made
and the result read to them before they
sign the rolls. They were under the inn
preston, vigorously expressed, that they
had won their per diem of eight hours
each, whether IL was law or not.

Claim they Have Found "a Flaw.

There was a crush yesterday at the law
office of Blackledge & Thornton. but when
the attorneys were asked what was the
reason they said that 1T was a matter OF
private business and the newspapers had
nothing to do. with it. From some OF those
who were striving to get into the office 1T
was learned that these attorneys had sent
out a postal card TO property owners in
Center township, saying that they had dis
covered a flaw that made the donation OF
5000 to the Indianapolis, Decatur az
Springfield road invalid. and that. they could
recover the money for those who paid IL.
They asked such as responded to the call
to- sign an agreement for a contingent fee.

HEAVIER THAN IN
Total Vote of This Year Compared
with Two Years Ago.

In 1892 the total vote in Marion county
was 40,SSS. divided as follows: Republican.
1850; Democratic. 20, 400; Prohibition, SOC;
Populist. 49, This year the, highest vote
was for county clerk, the total being II, 1873.
which represents the total number of sep
arate ballots cast. as all who went into
the booths undoubtedly voted for the name
at the head of the county ticket This
sho rs that the vote OF 1894 is 500 larger
than that of 1892. so that the Democratic
disaster cannot be attributed to the nom
voting of that party. Compared with the
cratic vote of 1894 is about $500 smaller.
while the average Republican vote OF 1894
is about 1900 larger than il was in 1892.
The Prohibition vote this year is 20 smaller
than IL was in 1892. while the Populist is
100 greater. Mr.. Henry has the largest
Republican and Mr.. Bynum the smallest
Democratic vote. the Henry plurality Icing

COUNTY P~LURALITIES
WILTsIE FOR ~PRosECUT-
ING ATTORNEY LEADS THE TICKET.
HIS Plurality 3,454, Mr.. Henry's 3,432
and Mr.. schmfdt's 3,1IS-The
Vote by Wards.

The official compilation of the Marion
county vote was completed about 6 o'clock
yesterday evening and the sheets
were signed by all the inspectors
at night. The full totals, plural
tiles and majorities, as given below.
are significant OF several facts. Wiltsie led
the county ticket by y votes over Henry,
but that is not looked upon as meaning
that either Wiltsie or Henry were stronger
individually than some others on the ticket.
There are reasons other than personal in
both cases. Whistles opponent is looked
upon as being one of the weakest il
not the weakest man on the Democratic
ticket. In the case of Henry, il was a light
OF protection against free trade and the
personalities of the two candidates were
hardly considered by the voter when the
great principle Of protection to the Ameri-
can workingman doomed up before his eyes.
Harry Smith received the smallest plu-
rality of any one on the ticket. His friends
attribute much OF this to the opposition of
Catholics. The report had been spread by
his enemies among the Catholics that he Is
a member of the A. p. A, and on that
account he was opposed by a number of
them Mr.. Smith is not a member of the
A p. A, and now that the election
1890 ~ nus bttA tNAaC1l1C
proving that fact will soon be forthcoming.
His friends say that this impression gained
ground from the fact that there was a
prominent member of the A. r. A. named
Harry Smith. In view of these facts it is
not surprising to his friends that Mr.. Smith
fell behind his ticket.
Fesler was next, coming out with a plu-
rality Of 2,104 and a majority of 1S6. The
fact that he had such a short time in which
TO make the canvass and that one of the
strongest men on the other ticket opposed
him. probably accounts for his reduced plu-
rality.
The other candidates made nearly an even
run. the pluralities ranging from 2,s05 to
$3.50.
On the Democratic side Mcguire led the
ticket by 102 votes over Johnson, the next
highest man. and by 469 over the third to
highest man. The others received between
r,724 and 1881, making it a very close
race.
The members of the canvassing board did
not taxi the interest in the canvass that
they did two years ago. Not a single pack
age containing the contested votes, II any
were returned, was examined. A few more
or less votes would have made no difference
in the result. The men lounged around the
room, impatiently waiting the end of the
calculation OF the vote, so they could sign
the returns. and go home. The question,
How can we reduce the majority? was not
a factor in the thoughts of the Democratic
inspectors. One man was overheard to say:
Il would concede a million majority if they
would just let US sign the sheets and go
home"
Following is the total vote for each can
didate, with pluralities and majorities:

May Have only Thirty Senator's.

The Republicans may have only thirty
members of the Senate instead of thirty-two
as seemed Thursday night. The latest re-
turns indicate the success of Thomas Eli
son, Democrat in Allen county. 1t was be-
lieved that James b. White. jr., Republican,
would pull through. There is also some
doubt as to the result in the joint district
of Huntington and Wells, indications point
ing somewhat TO the election of j. w.
Rinear, although Adam Foust was confident
the official vote would carry him through.
Messrs. Kelly and McGrath, Democrats,
may possibly be elected to the House. the
first from Adams. Jay and Blackford and
the other from Allen ounty.
