EXPLANATIONS FAULTY
Witnesses Put Blame on Clerical Err
rors, When Questioned About
the Straight
Ballots.

The ballot box pot will be given
another stirring Monday when the
grand jury resumes it probe into al
legged irregularities and misconduct at
the second and Sixth ward polls last
November-and that august body will
then dole out coat of white wash to
some ten or twelve judges and clerks
who have been put under fire by the
investigation. No indictments are ex-
inquistorial body has been "wised up"
TO marked degree by what it has
been able to extract of the witnesses
SO far. 1t has leaked out that the
inquiry has thrown light upon YER
liable war that existed between the
republican and democratic judges and
clerks in the Second ward which
brought about more campaigning with
in the polls than without.
Friday afternoon the judges and
clerks-five in number-were hailed
into the grand jury room to be quiz
zed and their explanations for various
discrepancies later discovered by the
contest board were about the thin
nest testimony the grand jurors had
expected.
How eighteen straight democratic
ballots with the exception of vote
for Chambers in the recordership
were counted as straight democrats
is said to have been one OF the ques-
lions put, and oversight was the only
reason assigned.
In a number of instances the talley
sheets and returns did not agree. Err
rors were frequent, but they were
all attributed to clerical mistakes.
Monday the Sixth ward judges and
clerks are slated for a hearing, and
the session is expected to be repi-
ton of the Friday one.
But big coat of whitewash is to
be applied. and the grand jury body
will be generous in its application.
