CURIOUS ELECTION FREAK.
the Vote Returned Wa Nearly
Double the Registration.

St. Louis. Nov. 9.-The recent cleo
ton in this city was productive Of
some queer development, prominent
among which is the original return
from the first precinct of the Twenty
second ward, which, at the last cleo
ton, cast TIA votes. The close of the
registration this fall showed 205
names of persons entitled to vote,
but the precinct return OF the night
of election day showed that James
Butler received 395 votes, against 3
for Reynolds, his opponent in the CON
gressional ace in the Twelfth dis
trict. Old politicians and experienced
ballot box manipulators shake their
heads and wonder how it happened.
