A TAINTED TITLE, The long drawn-out contest in the Missouri legislature over the Lieut, Governorship, was settled on last Monday, by the joint assembly ac- vepting the report of the recount committee, which gave Jacob F, Gmelich, Republican, a mujority over Will R. Patuter, Democrat, of 80. Mr, Gmelich was seated, and the leg- {siusure opened for business. The srigiual and amended returns a8 re- ived by the Secretary of State and sransmibted to the legislature gave Mr. Painter @ majority, but owing so the complicatea condition of the éwo claims and the narrow margin, avomiistee, composed of an equal umber of Democrats and Republi- .us were appointed and deciaed to recount bie votes of the clty of Se. {.ouls and several disputed countles Av the outseb the committee on mo tion of one of the Republican mem bersadopted a ru'e to discard all bal lows not’ properly numbered and not ontalning she inttlal of two election judges signing the resurns, as pro- vided by the law, Under this ruling sumetbing over two thousand bal- lows were thrown out, and {t was ad- mitted that Mr. Painter suffered by she ruling. Finally @ ward was reached thats Gmelich had car ried by & big majority, and it was discovered that a discrepaucy had been made by the judges signing shetrinisials, whereby under the rules adopted by the committee and cheer. fully enforced by the Republican! members so long a8 thelr candidate profited, Gmelich would lose 8o heavily as to put Painter again in the lead, then the Republicans rebell ed and began the talk about dis- publicans in charge.
