SLOW VOTE COUNTERS.
Only Forty of the Fifty-Five Counties of
West Virginia Have Been Reported to the
Authorities at Charleston.


Special TO the Register
CHARLESTON, w. Va. November 81
Governor MacCorkle and Secretary Of
State Chiffon are having considerable
trouble in getting the official returns from
the late election. Official returns have
been received from only about forty out Of
the ffty-hve counties of the State, and
many of those thus far received are terri
bly, mixed. For instance, there are two
sets of returns for the same Presidential
electors I'm many Cases-One set of returns
for electors on the Democratic ticket and
another set for those on the Republican
ticket Notwithstanding they are identic-
ally the same electors. In other cases the
returns have been received for Presiden-
tial electors and not for State officers, and
still others in which the returns have
been received for State officers and not
the Presidential electors. OF course, all
of these have to be returned to the coun-
ties from which they came TO be corrected
and put into proper shape. The State Off
cials are doing all they can TO get in tie
returns and tabuate them as early as pos
sible and in time for the meeting of the
Presidential electors here next month,
when the returns must all be in and
tabulated. Fortunately. the result Of the
Presidential election does not hinge on
this State. II it did, there would probably
be serious trouble: nor is the vote on the
State officers close enough to admit of
doubt of the election of the full Repubn-
can ticket. Yet the carelcssness of coun-
ty officials i'm getting mp the returns is
very annoying to the Governor and Secre-
tary of STATE. Il is the duty of the Gov
ernor to receive and tabulate the returns
for Presidential electors and for State Of
fcers. duplicate returns for State officers
being sealed up and submitted to the State
LEGISLATURE 1t is the duty Of the Secre-
tary of State to receive the returns for
members of the Legislature and make up
a roll of the two houses. The returns from
several counties have been delayed on ac-
count of contests in these counties, and a
recount of the vote, which is now in pro-
gress.

state Auditor, Secretary OF State and
Attorney General, met at noon to-day
to canvass the returns of the recent
eectlon. in view OF the Democratic
threats to contest the election of the
twelve Republican electors. great in
terest was felt in the meeting. The
canyasslng board has already footed
returns and read them with eXplana-
tiOns of their action in cases where
the returns were technically irregular
In every case they had waived unim-
pOrtant technicalties and counted re-
turns as made. The Democrats re-
ceived greater benefits than Republic
cans from this course. The official
footing gives Kash, the leading Repub-
liCan eiectOr, 21S,l71 votes, and Smith,
the leading Democratic elector, 21l $50
votes. McKinleys official plurality in
the State IS 2S1. Smith. who headed
the Bryan electoral ticket, defeats
Wedding and HOWes. the TWO lowest
Mckinley electors, who are Jied. The
electoral college will decide which Of
these electors shall vote. The count
gives Mckinley Kentucky by 2Sl plu-
rality and II out of 13 electors. The
canvass of Congressional returns made
no changes. Under the State law 30
days after the canvass is given in which
to file notice of contest. No such no.
tice has yet been given by either side.

ocrats before the State board, stated

that eleven contests of seats of Repub-
l'ca0 electors We're prepared and would
