the Election Board Immediately after
the Official canvass of the votes cast
in the general election was completed
and it is expected that a decision on
Diamonds protest will be announced
this afternoon.
Official tabulation of the vote showed
several changes over the unofficial
count, but none sufficient to alter the
outcome of any contest. Chief among
the changes was the return from the
King-Diamond race, which reduced
the formers unofficial majority from
224 to &c. the fourth district commits
sioner race between Robert D. Hagner
and Samuel E. Stonebraker, which in
creased Hagner's majority from 95 to
800, and the States attorneyship con-
test between Walter P. Dawson and
James H. Pugh, which gave the latter
an official majority of 46 votes instead
of II. as shown in the unofficial re-
turns.
