no court in Christendom is permitted to found it's judgment upon evidence to the contrary, to look upon mere suspicion and conjecture of wrong do ing, but unless there be satisfactory the acts of public officials with a pre- sumption of their rectitude and good faith.
 The returns of the election board are prima facie evidence of the num- Der fVates cast for contestant. To destroy the credit of the official re- turns there must be positive and un- equivocal evidence of the fraud, and if the circum stances of a case can be explained upon the hypothesis of good faith that explanation will prevail,
 The all important question of how and when and where and by whom was the mutilation of ballots accom- plished remains unanswered. Counsel for contestee can throw no light upon the matter but to assume it was fraudulently done and demand the al legged wrong be righted. Except the mutilated ballots themselves the re- cord they present to this court is silent about the matter. It is an swered only by theories of counsel for contestant and contestee which are as wide apart as the poles.
 It is said in the brief for contes- tee:
 ''It was and is the theory of ap- pellee that during the counting of the ballots as. many as AZ ballots were fraudulently changed by erasing the cross in the square at the right of the name of appellee or the cross in the square at the head of the repub- lican column and inserting in pencil | cross either in the square at the head of. the democratic column or in the square opposite the name of ap- pellant."
 It is said in the brief for contest. | ant: .F--
 Tt is not for the appellant to fur nish hypothesis, but we do repeat l that it is far more likely that some designing person, subsequent to the making of the returns, sought by this ] crude method to bring into disrepute |, a precinct in which. as the evidence i shows, the appellant received large majority
 1 When we take into consideration the prima facie case made by the official returns together with the ob servations made by the Arizona su | Ariz. 390, o-wit:
 The temptation to actual fraud ant corruption on the part of the candi dates and their political supporters i. never so great as when it is know1 precisely how many votes it will tak' to change the result; and men wh' are willing to sell their votes befor' election will quite as readily sel their testimony afterwards, especiall. as the means of detecting perjury ant falsehood are not always at hand un til after the wrong sought to be ac complished by it has become success full and the honest will of the peopl has been thwarted.
 Who can say that the hypothesis o contestant is the less appealing of tel two?
 If the voter is not held to sut stantial compliance with the direction of the statute in the expression of hi choice of candidates, the spirit of tn Australian ballot system is ignored We might as well return to the ol, system of baphazard voting in vogu before this innovation, and to remed the many evils of which the new sys

WHAT CATARRH IS

It has been said that every third person has catarrh in some form.
 Science has shown that nasal catarrh often indicates general weakness of the whole system, and snuffs and vapors do little, if any good.
 To correct catarrh you should enrich your blood with the oil-food in Scott's Emulsion which is a medicinal-food and a building-tonic, free from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Try it-YOUI Scot & Bowne. Bloomfield, ,N.J.
