so changed as to make it appear that they had been cast for Hunt If asked the court. these ballots had been counted for Campbell would not he have had the greater number?'
 Mir. Ives then entered upon ;tn eX tensive. review of the proceedings in the Douglas precinct in the course Of which he made the statement of hls belief that those ballots had not been changed by friend of Governor Hunt but probably by the Thiel de- tectivas to throw reflection upon the sOte of that precinct.

 Snowflake precinct, Judge Sloan said, had been brought to the surface ny the Flakes who had been re- pudiated at the election.
