DEREucT ELECTION BOARDS.

HOWEVER the public may disagree about The
81 desirability Of the result of the election. there
ought to &c substantial agreement in opinion that
one Of the things greatly needed in this county is lot
more;efciency and higher of responsibility on
The PCT OF those who compose the election boards
There is absolutely no excuse Tor the delay IN The re
completion of the count i many Of the precincts. If
the double election board law which. by the way,
greatly increased The cost of holding elections, had
beenobseHed the result in most Of the precincts coud
have been known long before it was. As it was this
law was simply ignored in places.
The mkt reform in the election laws in this state
should be some quick method for bringing to book
eection officers who do not DO their duty. A delayed
count is always annoying to the voters, and it some
times leads to suspicion, at least that effort is being
nsdeto change the result Of the election by fraud,
and when it is absolutely without justification, as it
in urber Of instances in this county last night
those responsible for it should be punished.

But all the ugly features Of the campaign we're
not on the Democratic side of the fence. The be-
havior of some of the Grosscup crowd in the Re
publican ranks ought also to attract attention Dur
ing the days after the primaries when the Grosscup
outfit was trying TO maneuver Judge Morgan out
of his fairly won nomination there was some de-
mand for sor: of high party court to make an
inquiry into TIE primary campaign. There was not
a thing to recommend such suggestion at the time,
hut an inquiry into the conduct of of the Re
publican politicians who adopted scutte policy
after they found that they could not rule probably
would be good thing. The Republican party is
in strong position in this state now, but 1t can
only continue TO be strong If it dsciplines the pot-
cal barons who imagine their desires ought to de-
termine party rolicy matter what the rank and
ale of the voters feel about it.

The result Of the election ought to finish Keen

eyes OF the Virginia Democrats to the necessity
