Fourteen of the twenty-four members of the Central Committee agreed with the editor of this paper that it was legal ballot, and cast for Mccoy, but l1r. J. w. Adams, editor of the GRAPHIC, who held a proxy for c. L. Black well and
 rerersed hot c0npHitctmoaS rote on a previous Mccoy ballot, was not one of these. e.-I'ress Eagle.
 "The previous Mccoy ballot which the editor of the GRAPHIC s'reversed,n alluded to above, was the Second Ward ballot with all the names for sheriff scratched by a perpendicular line running through the "Mc" in McCoys name to the blank line below. This ballot was clearly no vote for sheriff, as was apparent to any one with good eyes and when examined in the light of day. It was not counted or returned for Mccoy by the judges of election of the Second Ward, at which Maj. Mccoy had a representative ard all of whom voted to reject the ballot. And the GRAPHIC is now prepared to show that the man who cast this ballot did not vote or intend to vote for Maj. Mccoy It was an irl egular ballot, to which Mccoy had no more right to have counted for him than hundreds of other ballots with MeCoy.s name scratched. But by it's action the committee counted at least this one ballot for Mccoy which was not cast for him or intended for him. And yet Mccoy claims that he is entitled to the nomination by oae' vote-a plurality secured on the face of the returns by voting for himself and counting a ballot with his name scratched and not in tended for him.

Placing Respo nsibility.

Maj. Mccoy, in his letter to the Commercial relative to inspecting the ballots, says it was gross wrong and an outrage upon de- cency, and then seeks to play the innocent and endeayors to lay the blame on Mir. Brevs ter in spite of the facts in the case.
 He ignores the fact that the resa- lution authorizing such an nvesti gation was requested by his attor- ney and that the wording of it was dictated by dis attorney,
 To use Major McCoy's language, after the original Crawford resolu- tion passed
 "Mr. Grace, my attorney, rose and suggested that in view of the fact that a contest had been allowed it would become necessary to in- spect the alleged illegal ballots in order to ascertain for whom they were cast and asked that permission be given for that purpose Mir. Crawford, and Mr. s. M, Taylor, BreNster's attorney, instantly rec ognized the force of the suggestion and offered to amend the resolution to that effect. MT. Tavlor then took the original (Crawford's) res olution and wrote across it's margin the amendment permitting the par ties to inspect the poll books and ballots '
 But Mr. Mccoy failed to state that Mr. Grace dictafed the Ian guage of the amendment. It came about in this way:
 After Mr s. M. Taylor, Brew ster's attorney, recognized the force" of MT. A. B. Grace's tsugges- tion1 IMcCoy's attorney. I it seemed that nothing Mr. Taylor could sug- gest would prove satisfactory to Major McCoy's attorney, where upon Mir. Taylor impatiently asked what do you want2 dictate it to me and l will write it for you.
 Then Mr. Grace proceeded to dic-

Voted for Himself.

When Maj. Mccoy insisted upon entering the ballot boxes Of the city wards to ascertain how the people voted, probably neither he nor his attorney or representative ever an ticipated that Mai. McCoys ballot cast in the Fourth Ward, would be subjected to an inyes tigaton. But it was, and the discovery is most interesting, for it discloses the fact that Maj. II. A. Mccoy, ex-county treasurer, ex-assessor and present circuit clerk, voted for Candidate H. A. Mccoy for Sheriff. He is now claiming the nomination for Sheriff by one vote. This one vote was cast bg himseH for himseif.
 MT. Edgar Brewster had the deli. caey not to vote for himself for Sheriff, and only voted for Proseeut- ing Attorney. Candidate Phillips, we are informed, dld not vote at all, being in the city or the day of the election and away from his polling place.
 If the contention of the Mccoy. ties is true that Maj Mccoy is the nominee for Sheriff by one vote, then Maj. Mccoy is the nominee Qf him seB and ~ himseJ
 Won't it be a nice state of public affairs when a candidate can nomi- nate himself by his own vote?

Garcia ys. G0mez.

There is great difference in the conduct of the Cuban Generals, Garcia and Gomez and one that should be taken into consideration in hefuture.
 When war was declared by the United States against Spain, Gen, Gomez wanted the independence of Cuba recognized and the American troops placed under his command.
 This was not done, and since that time Gomez has been sulking in his hammock in the mountain faStness of Cuba, Not one word has been heard directly from him, neither has he been of any aid or assistance whatever to the Americans in their Cuban campaign,
 On the other hand, Gen. Garcia received the declaration of the United States with enthusiasm. and immediately announced his readiness to co opArate with the American forces. He was of great service in assisting the American troops to land near Santiago, ana promptly informed Gen. Shafter that he was ready to obey his commands. While
