cials intrinsic evidence of irregular urao-
uces TO degree IN the opinion OF the
board to be fraudulent The nunber Of
names checked In the Third ward, n de-
clsrsd, was 81 more than there were
names checked. and that names MARKED
over az the Republican caucus the pre-
wous evening were apparently marked
over with MARKS Appropriate 10 the DEM
ocrntfc caucus.
The board didn't consider II pertinsnt
whether the number OF names checked n,
each ward In excess Of the ballots cart
would make any difference to the result
or not. beoause the difference was so
great a. to take II beyond the possibility
Of mistake having been made and make
II one Of apparent fraud
The reports further declared that while
the board failed to nnd any provision
In the caucus law which authorized them
to officially declare tho caucus and the
records void. IL also failed to find any
Law compelling the board to certify and
declare the count whom II had reasonable
ground to believe II was obtained by
fraud. or in other words to compel the
members OF the board TO participate in
what they believed to be wrong and GER
tfy to what they believed to be incor-
rect.
Therefore the board declared 70 certify
the result for record. leaving the parties
to proceed az they may see At
OBJECTION MADE.
When the decision was announced Mr..
Cannon objected very strongly. saying
that IL was n charge of fraud against the
officials OF the caucus without giving
them chance 70 be heard.
The board was then asked II names
checked as having voted at the caucus
were eligible TO 20 on nomination papers
After few minutes consultation In the
private office, Il was announced that
names checked as having voted IN the
caucus could not be placed on nomina ton
papers.
Later II was said that the action OF the
board had no effect on the right of the
caucus warden to present the records and
nominations of the caucus TO the city
clerks, IL being up TO that official 20 ac-
cept or reject the records as he saw fit.
Late this afternoon the warden of the
Tenth ward caucus fled with the city
clerk tho record and nominations OF the
caucus there. but nothing had been heard
or the Third ward records
Col. Clarke said that he would receive
all the reports brought 20 his office, but
what he would do about putting such
names o nthe Official ballot was another
matter and one he might have TO consult
with the city solicitor about.

II Is said that a resolution will be pre-

PAY the Right Wages.

The United Railways of San Fran

at upward of $40, 0O0, 600 The lines
could probably be duplicated for $40,
600. 900 or less The receipts of the
concern are about So 600, 600 a year.
1t is proposed to force the public to
pay interest on the 80 per cent of
water in the stock But before doing
this the company should be forced to
pay its employees decent wage.
For the class Of men employed on the
roads. and for the kind of work eX-
pccted of them, 50 80 day is little
enough. II matters not that III

men are not paid so much. Conditions
vary, but the San Francisco company
can well afford to pay the wages
demanded. and should be forced to dc
so. And by the way, if the strike
should last week the company will
have lost enough to have paid the
additional wages asked for a year OF
