That Official Tabula!iou.

The editor of THE RECORD
has received a letter from one
of the managers at Morrisville
stating that in the first primary
election of August 80 the Off
cial tabular statement as pub
llshed credited Mr. w Isaiah
Tisdale, candidate for super
visor of registration, with re-
ceiving no votes at Morrisyille,
when, as a matter of fact, Mr.
Tisdale received SO votes at
that precinct in the election re-
ferred to. He also inquiries the
reason of these numerous er-
rors.
We can only say that the fig
ures given in our supplement
were taken from from the Off
cial tabular sheet, with the
compilation of which we had
nothing to do. We suppose
that this error, as we'll as the
others pointed out, may be &C,
counted for by reason of the
lax methods already commen'
ted on in these columns. In
getting the results of the second
primary more care was exer,
cised, there being Two tally,
sheets kept, and we have heard
of no errors being discovered
either in the tabulation or in
the footings.
