Mr. De Jnrnette Rcpublicnm VIII
Probably BE an EIector.

Probably BE an EIector.
While the Board Of State Canvassers
yesterday again went over the returns
from the recent presidential election in
virginia. and found numerous irregulari-
ties and informallties which had escaped
its vigilant eyes on the day previous,
it was thought at cne fine that enough
Of the after-discOvered Irregularities
had been detected 10 insure the election
of Mr. Charles NJ. Wallace. Jr.. as the
elcctor from this district but careful
addition of his vote shows that, accord
ing to the returns accredited TO him by
the Board of Canvassers. he only re-
ceived 1850 throughout the State, while
Electors J. u. c. De Jarnette and ii. w.
Simmons. Of the Republican ticket, re-
ceived 1888 each. or a majority Of 80
over Wallace. These are unofficial adj
ditions. but will in all likelihood be yerl-
fed bv the board when il convenes
again tomorrow morning at IL o'clock.
The vote for Mr.. Wallace in Albemarle
county. which was inadvertently entered
against him on Tuesday. was 2,628 and
if was recorded i'm his favor yesterday,
while an informality as to the name,
which was discovered yesterday, took
the 9u votes given him in Prince Edward
county away.
Mr. Wallace appeared before the board
Yesterday morning. and watched closely
the recanvass of the returns, and assist
ed in making the unofficial additions. He
will rest his case pending the decision
bv the Supreme Court Of Appeals IN the
Yost mandamus proceedings.
Nessrs. Claude A. Swanson, or the
Fifth District; Sydney i. Epes, Of the
Fourth: William 4. Young, OF the Second
and Ii. u. Flood. of the Tenth. were at
the Capital yesterday, but We're merely
there TO see If any further irregularities
were discovered.
4 large number Of informalities were
observed IN the returns Of the presi-
Dental vote, but they did not change
the result. as already announced in the
Dispatch. In all the cases the defect was
either in the initials. given names, or
manner in which the names of the cleo
tors were spelt.
