DiscOnt entcd socialist Expressed His
Feelings ON His Ballot.

The Board of County Canyassers in their
examination Of the void ballots have dis
covered many instances in which voters
have purposcly made their ballots void
One ballot examined Yesterday had been
voted for the Social Labor ticket, and then
the voter had written this at the bottom
of the ballot;
The whole damned business is farce
On another ballot which came from the
Twenty-third election district Of the Sixth
Assembly district this was written:
For Governor, John b Blau for Lieut.
enant Governor, Herr Most, for Secretary of
State. Gaetano Bresci, he assassin Of
King Humbertl; for State Treasurer, Rich
ard Croker; for Congress, Bob Muqueen;
for Senator, Meyer Schoenfeld."
The Board of Canvas~ers will not push
their work for five or six days, but the
examination so far makes il certain that
no contest will be warranted in the case
Of any candidate who has becen declared
