AFTERMATH. OF

Work Done BY the Democratic City

COUNTING BY
MACHINERY.
The Work of CanvaSSfng
City Vote Begins.
RULE TO BE FOLLOWED
Makes II Very Easy 10 Determine
Defective Ballots.
FIRST WARD PROPERTY VOTE.

The clerks in the office of the board of
canvassers and registration began the
work of counting the ballots cast in the
election yesterday, early this morning
They began with the property. vote of the
first district of the First ward.
Previous TO the beginning OF the work
il was decided TO proceed in the manner
and according To the rules adopted by
the non-partissn committee of the Gen
eral Assembly that was appointed in
1892 To count the ballots. The committee
consisted of Ellerv IA. Wilson, 5. w. n
Allen, IL. Is. Comstock. Edwin .. Roman
George w. Greene, w. Howard Walker,
David s. Ray, Fred W. Easton and Will
liam {. Baker. This committee repre-
sented all interests ana the counting was
also watched by the United States super
yisors.
The commissioners of canvassing and
reg gsteripg were OF the opinion that the
method employed by this committee
veild prove generally satisfactory to
ali concerned, and before opening the
packages of ballots they decided that the
rules should be as follows:
All ballots having cross at the right
of the printed name of one candidate only
for each office to he filled, whether In the
square or in the margin, and having no
other mark thereon; and all ballots hav-
ing the name of one candidate for each
Office TO be filled, written or pasted in the
place provided therefor and having a
cross PLACID tho right Of the same.
whether in TN square or in the margin
and having no other mark thereon, shall
be deemed valid votes and no Others.
This was plain sailing and made the
way clear for any sort of ballot that might
he brought To light later on. As the
work progressed In the counting of the
first: district Of the First ward it was plain
To be seen ttat the clerks had tedious
Job before them.
AS the ballots were counted by machn-
cry there was little chance for mistake.
1t was the same machine as was ussd at
the last election and il resembles a large
cash register. As each name is called
key Is touched and the machine does the
rest. The index is red for Republican
and white for Democrat, and5 other
colors designate the various other candi-
dates The tally is kept all through and
there is no easy way of tampcring with
the figures.
There were so many ballots that dem.
onstrated that the voter had selected the
individual that pleased him without ref
erence to party lines, that 10 Is estimated
10 will be two weeks before the official
count is concluded. The clerks expect to
com plete the count of the whole First
ward before the day Is done.
Thus far they have found very few de-
fective ballots. showing that the voters
apparently knew what they were about.
The vote Is very close in several of the
wards for certain candidates, but 10 ia
not anticipated that the machine official
count will change the result ms II is
known at present.

torney. for the defendant. Concerning
the talk about the lease Miss Railton said
that she suggested 10 Mr.. TAYLOR the de-
fendant, that she submit it TO "a lawyer

counsel fer the defendant. the lease was
submitted 60 the jury. There were two
