Show Another Coun . Secretary Luckpy, yfnt.i.lny, in tlt presmca of the ROvtrn.'r, canvassed the vote for dulpyntc I -' -n h, the reeult being as previously iinnnuucs'd George Q. Cannon, 1,5;U; R. N. Baakin, 8,842; Cannon's majority, 17,68. The governor will prububly issue another certificate to Mr. Cannon Can-non in the course of a few dtiyn, and it is expected that Mr. Bskiu will then serve a notice of contest. Ttio latter gentleman was preiuut and witnessed the oouut ymilinlay, hut Mr. Caunou wisely ignored it, piying no attentinn to the rec n v. He already baa a properlr r-.iscui;. certificate cer-tificate ol election, which, ito understand, under-stand, has been duly filed with the clerk of the house ef representatives. The time for giving notice of a contest con-test has passed, and unless Mr. Cannon, Can-non, vulgarily speaking, "live himself him-self away," Mr. Baskia will stand about as much ohanceof flying to the moon, as of having his contest entertained. enter-tained. We regret that Governor Emery could be "whipped," frightened or coaxed into making a recanvass. He had performed bis whole duty mouths ago, and because the then secretary, General Bane, "flew tbe track" and dared not stand by his coaduct, or tbe right, is not sufficient reasen for his excellency to show weakness or fear. However, we do not apprehend any serious trouble from the executive execu-tive action of yesterday. The second certificate will prove just so much soiled paper as it is written upen, and Mr. Baakin will find himself in no belter condition than he was months a;o, when he let the opportunity oppor-tunity for cou testing go by. The wrath of the border ruffian bulldozers ef federal officials may be temporarily appeased, in which event they wijl have more lime for inventing lies to injure the territory. |
