Show TiiE Reason. Some people wondei why the election retuns are so slow coming in here , and why in othei States and Territories they can know the result so 'much quicker. Else-where tallies are kept ol the voting, so that each side knows nearly the number polled for it, but even then they have to await the official returns the same as here, and counting the ballots is a tedious job.
