WIIY THE COUNT WAS S0 SLOW Bome Reasons for the Fearful Delay in Get- ting Electicn Returns, BREAKS OF INCOMPETENT OFFICIALS, Efforts to Count “Straight’’ Ticke ts— Amusing] Results of Voters' Cares lossness and Ignorance—\Wrests ling With Poil Books. There ard a groat many people who do not understand why 8o much time was consumed in counting the ballots at the recent election. 1t is not a difficult thing to shed some light upon tho matter. In the tirsc place man y of tho judges and _clerks of election were innx- porienced in clorical work and thoy were provokingly ineficient, Many of tho elec tlon boards adopted tedious and bungling methods of ascertaining the result. Instoad of having ono of the judges read off the names checked upon the ballots while tho clorks kept tho tally, somo of the boards divided tho heap of ballots into several divisions and each man took a neap of ballots and pro- ceeded to *'o through”? them, counting all the votes found in the entire heap for a singlo man ana then aunouncing the number to oue of tho clerks, who jotted down the totals on piece of blank paper. In this way tho ball were haadled over and over and over ugain, until tho last man at tho bottom of the ticket was “looked for," as tho judges aud clerks callod this peculiarly roundabout,method of counting the ballots, No “Straight " Tickets, other precincts tho judges ver: tshly adopted the old-time od of picking out the ‘straigh republican, “straight”” democratic 'straight" indepsndent and ‘“straight” pronibition ballots and th counting the piles. The poculiar form of tho Australian ballot wade this process o weary waste of time atd toil. 1t required almost as much timo to pick out the “straight” baliots ns it would to have read them off for the clerks to record them upon the poll books. In other precincts the judges took the cau- didates for cach oftice scparately all the way through. ‘This plan_proved tho most satis factory for the clorks who kept tally tn tho POl bioks, booauso thoy did not have to trn oaves until all tho votes for ouo offico hud been recorded. Some boards began with the state and county ticiot, somo with the city ticket and _still others with the Board of ~ Education ticket. There was no such thing a3 uniformity in the canvass and this made tho returns ap- vear ragged and unsatisfactory until nearly all tho precincts had been heard from. But the inexperience and bungling work of the election boards were not the only causes that lod to unprecedonted delay in completing the count. The peculiar form of tho Australian bullot was tho greatest factor in usiug up so mucl time. In some few precincts where the election boards woro especially capavle and rapid in the use of tho pen, and in find- ing the names voted for upon the ballots they did not get through with the work until very ato Wodnesday afternoon, although they ad worked all night. How to Count the Kang iroo. Why did it take more time to count theso Australian ballots than to count the kind of pallots formally used! It was usually the custom with eiection boards under the old regimo to pick out what they calied the “straight” tickets of each party aud put thein in separato hoaps. It was but the work of an nstant to glance ata ballot ond sce if it had any pen or encil marks upon it. 1f it has none it was traight”’ ticket. When tho tickets had gone through in this woy, thostraighttickots © each party were coutited, and the cand dates voted for by each party were then given tho number of votes represented by the “straight!’ ballots found in the box. This was quickly accomplished, and when there wero few scratched ballots in a precmet where threo to five hundred had been cast, the result could be ascortained in a fow hours. The scratched tickets had then to be read from top to bottom, and as the names voted for wero read the clerks checked them upon the poll-book. This cousumed a great deal of time. The Australian ballots have to be handled just as theacratohed tickots used to bo, and thoy aro time-killers when tho count bewns. It is quite impract:cablo and out of the question, 83 cxplained above, to think of picking out the “straight tickets under the new regime. The only wuy to count tho Australian bal- Iots properly is to have them read one at a time, from top to bottom, while tho names voted for are being properly recorded in the Ppoll books. Multiplicity of Ballots, Tako a precinct, for instance, whore there wero 500 oallots polled. Thore ' were 300 city Dallots, 300 school board ballots and 300 state and county ballots. This mado %00 ballots that had to bo rend over and properly rogis- tored in the poll books. A considerablo num- per of voters attempted to vote for too many onndidates under the head of judges, justicos of the peace, scnool board and council: Those who read tie ballots had to keep a close watch for errors of that kind and they had to examine numerous blots and blotches upon tho ballots and decide whother they wore tho result of erroncous checking or carolossness on the part of the voter. A few ballots were put in without the scratch of i pen upon them. The voters who depos- ited such ballots believed, no doubt, that they were registering their choica for the ofices to bo filled, but in fact they might as well have handed in so many pieces of blank paper. Some of the electors practiced econ- owy in the use ot the pen and saved time by making ono_large cross opposite two names upon the ballot instead of one opposito each namo, The result was a failure to voto for either of tho candidates so designated, al- though this became a question for debato among somo uf the judges, who held that the intont of the voter was plain and that he should not be cheated out of his vote upon a mere techuicality. ‘Ihe opinion with most of sho judges, howover, was that the largo cross ©OPpPOSIto two names'was contrary to the law governing tho balloting aud the vote could not be counted. Forty-Five an Hour. In ono precinct down in the Second ward an old gentloman spent fifteen minutes in the stall investigating and checking his bal- lotand thon he handed it to the judges say ing that he had spoiled it, but did ot want another, He haa becomo bowildered and discouraged in trying to get his ballot ecked to suit himselt and said he would give the thing up to smarter men. Jo loft tho booth without voting. Inone precinot where the clerks wero reasonably efficient in their work the writer timed them and found that they got through with from forty-five to fifty ballots por hour. This included the timo spent in examining spoiled and blotted ballots, They had 300 voters at the precinct. That gave them 00 ballots tohaudlo. At thorate of forty-five or hour they hud twenty hours counting be- ore thom when they bogan. It required about an hour and a halt to writo the names of tho 186 candidatos 1 tho poll books, all in the proper order and place. It required half an nour to fill out the books at tho close, muling in all about twenty-twd hours of solid work for the judges and clorks, They bogan at 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and finished the count at 5:80 Weduesday evening, stopping only to eat luncheon at three different times, T'here are few men in Omaha who could havo dono tho work in shorter time with the facilit st hand, Had the parties whno arranged t order of the oMices upon the official ballot tu ken tho pais to soe that it conformed to the order of the ofces priuted in the poll books much time might have beon saved. As they did not agree all the way through tho clerks Jore obliged todoa great doal of unnocesss leafing back sud forth to fiad tho oftices as the judges read off tho names. “This appoared to " be a case of pure and inex- cusable carelessuess upon tho part of those who ordered the official ballots printed, Lesson of the Experience. There l%pell‘\!d also to have been no good reason why the names of the candidates should not bave heen written la the poll books before the books were delivered to the elec- tion boards. All the names upon the oficial baliots might have been written in the poll books by expert penwen before the day ol election, in perfect accord with tne officl ballot, This would have saved 'HE OMAHA DAILY about two hours work for each of the election boards and the names would have been corractly speiled and legibly writ- ten; whereas they are in many cases of very doubtful orthography and of ‘all varicties of hierogbyphics embracod 1n the chirographio art One thing is evident. Clerks and judges of eloction boards should be rapid and accurate in the use of the pen, and they shouldd be ac- customed to reading figures and uames aloud, A _ great many blunders were mnde by bungling clerks who frequently placed the checks in columns where thoy did not betong, and some of the judges could scarcoly read the names on the baliots, It was disgusting and painful in somo in- stances to observe the aosolute inefficiency and the bungling work done by the judees in some of the precincts. The number of votes erroncously recorded will never be known, although i4 safe to say that there were a great many votes checked in the column where they did not belong, not as a result of deliberate intention to_perpetrate fraud, out through the inefliciency of the mon appointed upou the election boards, The Morse-Coe travel Shoe company gave its ing salesmen (thirteen in number), a box party at the Boyd Thursday night. Joxes Dand 1 were filled with com- mercial pilgrims who represent the v: interests of this well-known organizu- tion of Business Builders of the Mis- sourd river. This ficm, as well as being the largest house on the Missouri river, is the only firm that has a factory and manufactures its shoes at home. The boys are all believ- ers in home industry, and insist on having their home ade shoes in every town and city, from the river to the coast. Among those we noticed 1n the front seats were W. L. Eastman, who handles the Union Pacific for the firm. He is very popular, and even the fish in the small strenms know him; W. H. Brown, who makes tho B, & M. and Republican valley, is well known from the Circle Blue'to the sand hills; O. E, Livingston, who travels the Elkhorn Valley re everyone knows Ora, and knows sterling worth: N BB, Apple, who _skips the ties from North Platte west; W. I'rye, the Colorado hustler, and F. B. Crowley, the siim man who travels in Iowa; also Vincent and Ashlock, the Kansas kings, and Ballard who travels the Missouri Pac! in Nebraska. Be- sides those in the boxes there were som sprinkled through the audien The success of the Morse- company is assured, many of the salesmen are stockholders in the com- pany. Its salesmen, as well us b popular, are all good looking, and the! gathering last night showed their de termined expressions, and we ave satis fi that each would do as much to sell a bill of shoes as Mr. Crane did to have the ninet, ar-old claim pass the senate. There were some of the Morse-Coe Shoe Co.’s salesmen who wero ur be present. Among them Samu who represents the firm’s inte Utah., Mr. Best was wired, but able to be here, much to the r all.

An in vestigation was made and it was found that the statements were true, Soveral of the train crew were sent for to identify tho suspects if possible, but none of the crew would sag positively that the sus- pects were in the crowd. The men from tho Ames avenue car stables wore brought down, but they could not identify any one. Conductor Welch was notified and looked the trio over, but could not say anything positive and so the ‘‘suspicious characte were allowed to depart.
