The work of examining the ballots cast
at the last election in all the districts Of

ing somewhat faster than it did last
week. In the First district there were
three hundred ana seven ballots objected
too by the counsel for cOntestecs and con
tcstants-lG9 by contestants and 13S by
contcStccS. Under the ruling of the Court
samples of all objected ballots were to
have been made and the same presented
to said Court. If the Irregularities, etc,
prove sufficient II recount of the ballots
as prayed for by the contestants, Messrs.
George II. Spence. George l.. Christie
and Homard Terry. will be ordered by
said Court The work of making copies
of the objected ballots proved such slow
and tedious work, that counsel for either
side agreed to have the original objected
ballots presented to the Court, instead of
making copies of the same.
After the work of examining the ballots
in the First district had been completed,
the ballot boxes of the Second district
We're opened. The work of examining
the ballots therein was finished yester-
day. There were 1876 ballots objected too
