Show Kl'MKI, AM) 1ILKT. Ever since tho result of tho election has been known there has been considerable consid-erable talk about tho possibility and tho probability of Messrs Rumel and Burl being counted out owingto certain alleged discrepancies and irregularities in tho vote. Wo believe that all this talk amounts to nothing. It is something some-thing that is heard at every election where tho vote is very close. Fvery honest man in this city believes that J. II. Kuinel, Jr., was fairly elected to the office of recorder, aud that Mr. Burt was squarely elected to the office of sheriff. These two men received a majority vote. Thero is no question on that point. It would, therefore, he dishonest and unwise to even attempt to count them out on some trivial technicality tech-nicality or Irregularity that might possibly pos-sibly bo raised. The votes east for I horn expressed the Intent of the voters without a doubl, and' they are entitled to tho offices to which they havo been elected. . The Times does notbolicvo that any question will bo raised as to their ele ction when the matter comes before tho canvassing board. |
