THE OFFICI1L COUNT.
II Cannot be Authoritlvely Announced for at
Least Week.

At noon yesterday the state board OF
cnnvassers had completed the official
count so far rs was possible, owing to ir-
regularitles the vote OF Jefferson and
Teton counties were returned for correc-
tion. The vote OF these counties had been
sent In by totals instead OF by precincts.
II will probaly be week before the cor
rections are made and the vote OF these
two counties are returned 10 the board.
Until they are received the board vii not
give out the result so far as the other
counties are concerned. However, IL is
learned unofficlally that Helena's major
ity Is ,gO6 providing there are no changes
IN the vote of the two counties named.
The official canvass OF the other coun-
ties was completed yesterday and no
changes were made. II Is deemed very un-
likely that any errors Will be found In
the count of Jefferson and Teton couu-
ties While the official count cannot be
given. there IN no reason to suspect there
will be- any change In the figures already
published upon the vote for congressman

TWO CLEAN SLAVES.
THEY HAVE A LONG CONFERENCE

Tho visit of Lee Mantle, Of Butte. 10
this city on Monday night, was the
subject Of much comment yesterday.
and speculation was active as 20 the
object OF II, especially Ma view OF the
coming senatorial fgbt. Mr. Mantle

offensive and defensive. on the part OF
the clean shaven representatives Of the
republican party from the east side aud
the west side, 1t had been supposed
all along that the combination would be
between Mr.. Mantle ana Commodore
T. q. Power. The latter, however, is
In Washington just at present, and
those who believe in the practical In
politics say they see nothing wrong in
Mr. Mantle having two strings to his
bow. Should the combination between
what is now known AS "lhe clean
shaves" be perfected. II IL thought a
more powerful alliance will be formed
between Commodore Power and Gov.
Richards. The former has many sun
porters In the northern and eastern
parts OF the state. while the governor
looks Tor strength 10 southern and
western Montana, and TO Silver Bow,
where he expects To split the vote of
the eleven members as nearly evenly
as an odd number can be divided by

One Of the rumors that IL going the
rounds is to the effect that the candi.
dates who feel they would have nc
show In a party caucus. ON account OF
the strength OF the candidates who
have been able TO make their alliances
will use their best efforts TO prevent a
caucus-until they feel safe in having
one. The manifold advantages of this
arrangement are apparent. With a
ballot in open session. without the pre-.
liminary of caucus, the man with five
votes is just as much In the race as the
man with fifteen. Nobody can tel

Nashua, N. H., Dec. 1s.-Frank A..
Mexican, cashier of the Indian Head
National bank, has not been in the
city since Monday. 1t has happened
before that he has been away for sew
eral days at a time without the knowl-
edge of the directors, and no uneasiness
was caused. because his absence was
OFTEN required in settling estates and
making Investments. Saturday Bank
Examiner Dorr, OF Somersworth, came
here to make his regular examina tion
of the bank. and thought he discovered
some irregularity In the note and secur-
ity department. Cashier Mckeans at
tention was called to II, and he ex-
pressed confidence that IL could be
Strengthened out TO make the proper
showing. Monday he left "A note to the
president OF the bank, saying that the
bank examiners criticism OF the ac-
count seemed impregnable and he had
taken the first train to Boston 10 con-
suit his bondsmen and would return In
the afternoon. The examination has
continued since that time, and a short
age, now believed to be about S25, 600
has been discovered. The cashier gave
bond Of $4,000 and the bank surplus
and undivided profits are between Si0,-
900 and $4,000.
Mexican was twice mayor of the city,
democratic candidate for governor In
1878, and was city treasurer for several
years. The announcement of the dis
appearance caused great astonishment
here. Mexican was one of the most
trusted and best esteemed men in
Nashua. Directors OF the bank have
been In Boston for two days trying 10
find some trace of Mexican, but thus far
their efforts have proved fruitless,
False entries and the transfer of notes
were the methods used by Mexican,
Mexican was not a man of expensive
habits. He had been cashier of the bank
for twenty-five years.

A RECOUNT MADE.
II Makes the Utah Constitutional Convention
Close Proposition.

Salt Lake, Dec. s.-The canyassing
board to-day opened the ballot box for
one poll in the third precinct of this city
on claim that there was discrepancy
between the tally sheet and the poll list.
Under the recount all the republican dele
gates to the constitutional convention lose
nifty votes and the democrats gain cor
respondinEly. The populist vote was un-
changed. This defeats two republican
delegates, who were elected on the face
of the returns, one of them being Apostle
John Henry Smith. The result OF to-day's
count leaves the republicans fifty-four
and the democrats ffty-three delgates.
