When the council meets as canvassinp
board tomorrow night something IS likely
to happen which will break off the Demo
cratic enthusiasm in the Sixth ward, very,
| very short
| When the bundle of ballots from the
| second precinct of this ward are opened
| and recounted, and the council announces
| that John Martin, and not j. W. Maxwell,
was elected councilman, there are liable to
be several jaws that Will drop very, very
low.
It msy not come ont this way. but it
looks very much like il now.
There are nineteea ballots missing In
that precinct The judges in this precinct
| reported 349 votes cast. the tally sheet
shows that 36S men came into the booth
aud voted. Where are those missing nine
teen votes?
The judges of this precinct were furn-
ished 500 ballots. They are compelled by
law To account for all ballots. If there
were S49 ballots voted, they should have
retarned 451 unvcted ballots. They only
returned 432. Where are those nineteen
ballots?
The facts as given out by one of
Mr.. Martins friends are these: There were
three judges at this precincr, two Repub-
Leans. ex Senator John Kelly and Major
Burr. aud one Pop, l.. W. Camp. Ex
Senator Kelly was very sick all day.
Major Burr's ryesight, it is said, is bad.
When the time Came to count the bal
lots, Camp announced that ne was an ex-
pert counter. He proposed turning the
whole lot out on table and Counting
them ia that way. He WAS mott flied that
that WAS against the law, that the ballots
must be taken out one at a time.
Camp conceded this and began to take
the balloes out a handful at time aud
count them. Despite the fact that both
Senator Kelly aud Major Burr protested,

last, it is said, both Kelly and Burr
noticed that Camp was counting so fast
that he was repeatedly interrupted by the
teliers who could not keep up with him.
Twice. Kelly interrupted him aud told
him that he had Counted Two on one ballot
for Maxwell. Mr.. Kelly did nov detect
this defect in Camps rapidity until nearly

have done the same thing AGAIN and |
again.
AT all events there are nineteen ballots |

not there. They must be in the package |
which the council will open tomorrow

over Martin in the whole ward is only |

possible discrepancy in Camps counting
may result in Mar ms election.
AT any tate, it will be settled tomorrow
evening. Those nineteen ballots must be
accounted for. In this precinct the diff

CUT THE ONE, BoUNcE TIE OTHER.

It looks very much as IL Republican
officials were on deck again in this city, all
round, on the city council, school board
and where not. There is no mistaking
the fact that big majority of the elected
aud hold-overs are not only Republicans
but mighty good men, both AS to capa-
oIlity and honesty. That all talk of boOd-
ling and crookedness Will cease, goes with
out saying. They are not men who have
sought the positions. They have not ac-
cepted the places with any idea of making
living out OF them. They are business
men. In the past when the Republicans
have had the running of things. but little
attention was paid to partisansbip in the
administration of affairs. The patronage
was given out without reference 10 party
claims or party advantage or affiliations.
But when the opposition got something
OF hold everything was made to bend
to their kind, in the most clannish spirit.
We hope this fact will not be ignored by
the new officials. Any generosity which
they might show. any spirit of couserva-
ism will go unsppreciated. Give them
the grand bounce with all the certainty
with which Cleveland fills a postoffice
with a Democrat or that Lewelling replaces
a competent aud efficient official with an
ignorant aud unqualified Pop. Ia the

the way Republicans are talking, aud it's
sensible talk. Let the talk become the

HANG HIM IN FLORAL BALL.


ct really looks as though Oklahoma

singular, however, that of ali the men who
have been sentenced to bang in Oklahoma
since that law WAS made, none OF hem has
met death that way. Ira Terrill, formerly
of Wichita. and the man who introduced
the capital punishment bill, was himself
the first man TO be sentenced to death.
But he Is free today. John Dossett was
sentenced to hang away back in January,
but the execution has been put off from
month to month, and it appears that he
will go free

for the murder of Mrs. Gibbs Clarke. 1t
was a cold biooded deed aud there is very
little chance of intervention in his case.
So unusual Is the matter OF hanging in
Oklahoma. strange AS 1t may seem, that
the sheriff OF Oklahoma county found
himself at the beginning of the week with
out a suitable place 10 hang Mlligsn. The
law requires that the execution shall be
quiet.
Now there is not a room in the Okla

deal to build q high board fence in the
yard to keep the crowd out SO the sheriff
rummaged around aud struck way at
