To Contest camblInu Amendment.

! The State Board of Canvassers. compris-
ing Senators Voorhees,, of Union, Stokes, Of
Cumberland, johnson, of Bergen, Gould, Of
Essex and Kuhl, of Hunterdon, appointed
to canvass the returns of the special cleo
ton at which the constitutional amend
ments were voted upon on September 18th,
met with Governor Griggs in the Senate
Chamber last Tuesday afternoon.
After the vote had been canYassed Sena-
tor johnson moved that the board certify
to the passage of the first and second
amendments and the defeat Of the third
As soon as this had been done, and be-
fore any action had been taken on it, for
mer Senator Edwards, of Jersey City, ex-
ploded bomb by saying that he had been
retained by certain persons to protest
against the acceptance of the figures of the
anti-gambling amendment. He referred to
the rejected ballots, and said he would
show before the Board of Canvassers or
some other proper tribunal that the anti
gambling amendment had been defeated
by 100 votes had the ballots been properly
counted. Some, he said, were ruled out be-
cause marked in blue, brown or other
colored pencils, and some because marked
with broad instead of narrow cross.
Senator johnson expressed the opinion
that the board was without Jurisdiction to
do other than accept the figures as sub
mitted. Governor Griggs expressed the
same opinion.
When Senator Johnson's motion was put
it was carried unanimously.
Senator Edwards then asked the Cover
nor to withhold signing the proclamation,
declaring the amendments part of the
State Constitution for few days in order
to give an opportunity to contest the cleo
ton. The Governor consented to defer is
suing the proclamation until next Monday.
Senator Edwardsis unable to say at pres
emit what will be his next move.
The board adjourned at 2 As D. m. after
certifying that the first amendment was
passed by majority SO2 votes; the second
by 7,246 votes, and the third defeated by
10,O59 votes.
During the day it had been whispered
about the corridors at the State House that
a movement was on foot to contest the re-
suit of the election, but no one seemed able
to say anything definite about it, Among
those who were inquiring about the pro-
posed contest were the board of canvas;ers.
There were 967 rejected ballots while
the anti-gambling amendment was carried
by 802 votes. If q contest is made, it will
be on the strength of these ballots, as it is
said that every one of them was intended
as vote against the amendments. Had
all these ballots been counted according to-
the alleged intention of the voters, the
anti-gambling amendment would have
been lost. The contention is made that
ballots were Improperly rejected and that
the Special Election law does not prescribe
how the ballots shall be cancelled, further
than that it shall be by pen or pencil. It
is said that in many cases ballots were
thrown out because they were not marked
in the proper colored pencil.

PROSPECTS At DELTA.
Tbs Outlook ses . Heavy Fruit crop
VERY orisht.

Under the above heading the Denver
under date OF March 9th. which says:
Never in the history OF Delta county
has there been at this time OF the year
SO bright a prospect for a tremendous
fruit crop as there is at present. The
SHOWS which have been falling with
regularity OF clock work have kept back
the buds and filled the ground with
moisture. putting it in such shape that
spring work can be done without first
going TO the trouble OF irrigating. Peach
pear. plum. apricot and apple trees arc
full OF fruit buds and all iu splendid con.
dition. The SHOWS have not entirely
disappeared in the North Fork section.
while on Surface creek, Garnet and
California mesas. and in the Gunnisou
valley the ground ID bare. The weather
has turned warm and buds will soon
start. but il the weather continues warm
and bright the danger from fruss will be
pase hsenee thc bsooDas cau spPrae.
Judging from pest yess the crop ol
Delta county for 1897 should be some
where from 6.J0O0oO to 5000. 600 pounds
OF marketable fruit. The acreage Of
orchard planted this spring will be much
less than that OF last year or the year be-
fore. There will be several hundred
acres Of orchard bearing for the first
time this season. making il somewhat
difficult to accurately forecast the total
