Through Clerical Errors He Loses 2l'E -
Notes.-The Onciai Vote OF the
Presidential Candidates.

Tho Board OF state Examiners met
aeain in the Office Of the Secretary cf the
| Commonwealth yesterday. for the pur-
| pose of oanvassing the vote cast at tho
recent election for the Presidential can
didates. Governor O'Fcrrall. Col. Marye.
the Auditor of Public Accounts, Treasur-
er Harmon and Secretary Of the Com
monwcalth Lawless. were on Eand. while
Attorney-General Scott was still confined
TO his home by illness. The proceedings
were rather tedious in view Of the fact
that I'm a number Of instances the clerks
of dinorcnt counties and corporations had
certified the votes cast TO wrong names.
These irregularities consisted In the re-
turning Of the names OF electors different
from what they were printed on the TICK
et. In some cases. where the full names
should have been used only initials were
used.
The name Of Colonel James W. Mar
shall an clector at large on the silver
ticket. was frequently certified to J. W.
Marshall OF J. VI. Marshall or James VI.
Marshall lie loses in this manner in
the aggregate 400 votes.
Mr.. Charles NJ Wallace. Jr, silver
eleotor for this district. lost 2l.212 votes
and his name thereby dropped below the
highest vote OF the electors on the Re
publican ticket, his vote being repeatedly
certified as {. NJ. Wallace, Jr.. Charles
NJ Wallace. Charles W. Wallace Jr
Charles W. Wallace or &. W. Wallace,
Jr. This oversight on the part OF The
clerks who had 10 certify 10 the votes
cast in their respective counties or cities,
loses the State Of Virginia one Bryan
elector and the complexion In the cleo
toral College from this state
will therefore be eleven Demo
Gratis ond one Republican. Who
is 10 take Mr.. Wallace's place. Will
be determined by the Board this morning,
when the entire vote IS 10 be added mp.
The body took recess yesterday after
noon after 1 o'clock until this morning az
Il o'clock. after tho votes cast for the
various electors i'm the one hundred coun-
ties and eighteen cities I'm the State had
been entered from tho official returns.
