Recount of the ballots cast for Mr.. Cook and
myself will show as great variance from
the official returns as was shown in the two
cases first above cited, which seem to have
been exceptional cases, still if any mistakes
were made by the election officers either in
Mr. cooks favor or in my favor, no one can
be wronged by their correction. If Mr..
cook was duly elected | certainly want him
to have the office, and in making the re-
count | would not take advantage of any
technicality, if | could, to deprive Mr.. Cook
Of single vote. If mistakes were made in
my favor the recount will result in increas-
ing Mr.. cooks majority, and if mistakes
were made in Mr.. cooks favor to any con.
siderable extent, the recount will result in
giving me majority"
