COUNT FOR REPRESENTATIVE
Al the city hall the board OF canvassers
continued the count on the ballots for
senator and representatives from the
First ward. and found but few changes
OF any account. although the first Ave
districts were completed up 70 noon.
The Republican candidates were elected
by majorities 80 large in most cases that
neither side has much interest In the
count. and so there have as yet been no
representatives of the candidates at the
count The two machines are used in
the count. as previously stated, and the
exercise Of pressing the keys will give
some OF the canvassers forearm de-
veopment 10 be proud Of.
The count OF the city officers was

The replacing the city officers tickets
in the keys with differently marked and
colored ones for the representatives took
a considerable time at the outset, but the
delay will be more than made up
by the convenience Of the sef-registering
machine.
In the city count the percentage of

Is almost as large I'm proportion. one dis

The Leadvills District Mining associ.
alton, an organization Of mine owners
and managers recently formed and affil-
lated with the State Mine Owners asso-
citation, are adopting the tactics en-
ployed by the Cripple Greek mine opera
tors. They compel all employees to
abandon their union and take out a
card with the Mining association. This
mine owners card system is another
sample Of Republican inconsistency. The
idea Of demanding that man sever
his membership with q union which is
intended to better his interests to join
one that will make him a slave to his
employer!
