would be restored but 43 votes in this precinct which had been counted for Hunt would be given to Campbell. In this precinct Hunt had been given a majority of 123 by the official count
 There was a further statement by the court which was not understood by all in the room and not even by all Of the attorneys. It was that Snow flake with majority of 11S for Camp ! bell which had been thrown out would be restored as would also the four pre- cincts which had been just named as having been stricken out.
 A suggestion regarding the costs was made and Judge Stanford said that the statute required that the cost of the inspection should be borne by the party instituting the contest. Former ! Governor Hunt had given a bond for i that cost which had afterward been raised to the present figure. $6;000. As ! to other costs. the court decided that each side should pay it's own. It is es- /, timated that the costs, other than 1 those of inspection amount to the sum i of S45,000.
 Confidence is Lacking
 Since last Saturday there had been a noticeable lack of confidence in the camp of the former governor. That i was shown in the countenanceS of the attorneys and those in their confi- dence. There was a corresponding sign of exaltation in the appearance of the Campbell crowd and even Chairman : Maddock of the republican state con- mittee, who throughout has been ! sphinxlike, appeared to smell victory in the near distance.

 that the attitude and contention of
 the contestant, now established by
 facts was that the contestant had
 received more votes than the con-

 that the certificate of election was
 based on the defective count. It
 had been shown that 22S votes had
