CANVASS Of VOTE
NOW ON EXC|TES
GREAT INTEREST

Ritchie's plurality in Anne
Arundel County will be 1875. This
is shown by a comparison of the
unofficial figures, compared with
the official count that is in prog
ress at the Court House this aft
ernoon. The returns from the
second precinct of the First dis
trict, brought about the increase
from 1874 to 1875. the vote of that
precinct being 161 for Ritchie;
and 105 for Nice.
Organizing as a board Of canvassers,
he members of the board Of super.
visors of elections, consisting of DR..
Alfred H. Perrie. James F. Strange,
Democrats, and William H. Meade, Re-
publican began at noon today TO tab
ulate the official vote cast in Tues
days election in Anne Arundel county.
The work of the canvassing body
was delayed TO some extent owing
0 the fact that the election officials
Of the Second precinct of the First
district did not bring in the official re
turns Of that section until after the
noon hour In the meantime, how
ever, the board gave over its time to
check off the vote from the unofficial
records that had been gathered, as
compared to the returns from the cleo
lion officials of the various precincts.
This, of course, facilitated the actual
cAnvassing.
Watch Canvass Closely
Owing to the closeness of the vote
IS to several of the local candidates,
)ut more particularly by reason of
he fact that the official canvass in
this and every other county, as well
rs Baltimore city, may have some
material bearing upon the situation
as to governorship fight which is
mighty close, more than the usual
number of persons gathered in the Of
iice of the supervisors. The situation
caused the rival gubernatorial candi-
dates TO have official representatives
ats the canvass. Yesterday afternoon,
Attorney General Albert G. Richie,
he Democratic candidate, telagr aphed
hidGcly p Tielyin requesting that he
represent his, and the interests of
other Democrats before the canvass
ing board, especially a. regards the
possibility of discrepancies having
been made in the vote unofficially re-
turned. States Attorney Harry w.
Nice, of Baltimore city, had three such
representatives on the job. These are
Arthur b. Connolly. William F. Nc
Fall and Allen Cleveland.
Checking up of the unofficial re-
turns as compared with the official fig
ures, consumed very little time, and
then the board got down to the actual
work of the canvass.
