day ana last night that Frank A. Mitch
ell would contest the nomination for
Levy Court Commissioner in the Second
district.
| Mr.. Mitchell when seen last night by Il
representative of The Sun was at first
not inclined to talk but when pressed
stated that while he believed there was
no fraud committed. yet there was pos
siblity Of clerical errors. and on that
ground it was altogether probable that
he would make n contest.
| There is considerable Indignation
among voters in the Second election dis
ltrict of the First Representative dis
trict over 3rd street bridge.
II was charged that the men who held
the election closed the polls for fifteen
minutes and went ont leaving one party
in.
The vote showed that Holt Kitchen
for the legislature werc the only ones
to receive votes while McCaulley' =
friends claim they voted for him and will
take affidavit to it.
John Thompson. post Office employe,
seemed tn he with to crowd that was
successful in that district.

port that Samuel III. Baynard had with
drawn from the legislative contest and
this lost him some votes until il was dc.
nicd by him at the polls.
