presented this to the city agent of the

COMSTOCK CONFESSES.
His Addition was Faulty When Discov-
erng Mistakes in Vote OF Ward 8.
He Finds That He Agrees Witr the
Officials in Their Count.

Yesterday Mr.. Ricnard p. Comstoci, in
behalf of pure Democracy and an honest
count, went tc the city clerks office and
found that the returns from the second
district of Ward 5 in the recent municipal
election, had been way out of true-it
looked horribly suspicious for the Repub-
licans as the result of the Com
stock discovery and lesser Democrats said !:
told you so." The man who makes
studies for the morning paper heard
il and felt that he was vindicated, and
Immediately went off into another spas m
in which no set forth that things IN that
district did look peculiar. just as be had
said before.
But after the brief season OF satisfaction
on the part OF the handful of ward heelers
and journalists Mr.. Comstock made
another discovery--he had added wrong
and after counting up ard down the
column and back the other way ne ad-
mitted that the discrepancy didn't exist
at all.
The actual figures pertaining to the vote
OF district 2, Ward B, that everyone now
agrees TO are: Names checked on property
