CLAIM GAIN Is MADE
IN VOTE FOR SCOTT
Mistake of Twenty I'm Henderson Re-
ported-Adams' Official
Count Completed.

Quincy, June 4.-The official canvass
of Adams was completed this morn
ing. The figures heretofore given are
found correct, Scott 1881. Carter 1875.
Carriers majority in Adams county,
43.
The republicans failed to appear
this morning at the canvass. Hon. G.
A. Cooke was here representing Scott
and has gone to Springfield to watch
the canvass of the whole vote there.
Cooke agrees that Scott's majority
in the district is 40.
\ local republican paper says Scott
gained 20 in the official count of Hen
derson county. That would make his
majority in the district 90.
The delay in Adams county was due
to the fact that the judges of election
in Concord township failed to certify
to the returns and consequently the
official canvass begun yesterday by
County Clerk Pearce and Justices
Morehad and Heckenkamp was not
completed until the judges came in
and certified to the returns, which
the supreme court has decided, can be
done any time before the official can
vass is completed This was all ac-
complished this morning. The town
ship was for Scott by 81 majority.

Means Much for City.

The convention will be the means
of bringing to Rock Island next June
of several hundred visitors and dele
gates directly connected with the or
der, while the big days will attract
thousands.
Bloomington is filed to overtiowing
this week with those attracted by the
convention and the papers of the city
have devoted much space to featuring
the details of the convention. One OF
the factors which undoubtedly helped
Rock Island to secure the plum was
the hotel facilities, the city being bet
ter equipped in that respect than al
most any of the other towns of the
state outside of Chicago.
