THE REToRT COURTEOUS.

The late Charles Hoyt, says Frank
Daniels, the actor, was about as genial
q fellow as one would ever meet; yet.
when occasion offered, he could give
utterance to some rather sarcastic re-
marks.
u remember once how he gave an
gwful jolt to a player well known for
his intense ogOtism. Hoyt was in the
box of "A Western theatre Witnessing
the first production of one of his mu-
steal comedies, and, in accordance with
bis custom, making notes for the i'm.
proyement Of the piece, when a tels-
gram from the actor referred TO was
handed to him. The telegram read

"Whereupon HOyt turned over the
message, wrote upon the other side;
You are alone in your desire and

after an investigation OF this feature,

II was found that there could be no

that would not conflict with from thir.

Board of Election Commissioners
Cut FOLKS Plurality by
1,260 Votes.
OBJECT TO 1874 PRECINCTS.
Officials Overrule All Complaints
and Make Decisions Which
About Balance Losses to
Both Tickets.

| The official stamp was placed on the city
| election returns last evening at o'clock
! when the Board of Election Commission
ers gave out the results as final. The most
| important change In the official returns
from those determined following the cleo

| ing made 1.260 less in the recount The
| Governor elects official vote is 59,96o while
| Walbridge's is 501io.
| Before summing up the official figures
the Commissioners heard lengthy argu-
| ments from attorneys representing both
parties, the Democrats objecting To 120 pre-
cincts and the Republicans bringing
| charges of Irregularities in sixty-four pre-
cincts. The discrepancies ranged from ten
| to thirty votes and in all totaled nearly
| 200. In making their decision the Commits
sioners about balanced the losses to both
| tickets.
The principal Democratic objection pre-
sented by Attorney Jameson was that the
number OF votes shown by the voting list
| did not tally with the returns In some
| cases the officials practically failed to keep
| a voting list. The board, after hearing the
arguments. ruled that it was immaterial
, and did not affect the returns
| Other charges presented by Attorney
| Jameson were that in some instances the
| returns were not signed by the entire six
| election officials. This was also overruled
| as not having vital bearing on the returns
| themselves.
Attorney Jameson also said that the
| handwriting on some OF the sheets indi-
| Gated tnat 1t was the work of one man
