Will Joiioa Carries the Crowd. The county canvassing board recon- vencd yesterday afternoon and continued the examination of the election returns. Limestone was read, and Fairview, received through 1. E. Rankin a tele whenludgeMerrimon, referring to the ft-. - 'pper Hominy returns.called the board's t attention to the fact that nobody could tell whether they came from that precinct . . . . ,,..,j u or not, not being proper y attested by the judges of election. lie interpreted the liw as to the board's light to sub-1 pa-na witnesses in any case where objee- tion. to returns were made. Objections to upper Hominy and Limestone were , ... I entered, while a motion to proceed to 1 the examination of returns not objected . ... .. . .. .j I lo ,UK cuosiuvtcu. sue was 1st. The objection made to French Broad earlier in the day was withdrawn and the examination of those returns pr. ceeded. A little Inter, however, Pearson claimed that one figure in the total vote I given him there had been changed, mak ing his vote 119 instead of 129. There was quite an argument over this, and Dr. Clouts stated that only 298 votes were cast all told, Crawford bad re ceived 17C and Pearson's 119 added would make 295. Sams, one of the judges at this precinct, contended al ng I a, 111, Pimraon tlint 1 2f wna the r sht hguie, and on motion the precinct was set aside for later examination. Sheriff Brookshire was ordered to summon the! . . . necessary witnesses and papers in the iae. D. M. Luther entered an objection to Swannanoa's returns and then the board adjourned to 11 o'llock today. Today's ScmIoii. It was 11:15 thismorning whenCbair- man Webb called the board to order. Swannanoa precinct, to which objectio: was made vestcrdnv, was passed and Reems Creek taken up. No objection was interposed and the reading of these returns proceeded. Flat Creek followed. When Ivy was called Locke Craig filed an objection and it was laid aside. Hilt more also was oniecttd to and passed over. Uaw irecK satisfied ail and was counted. Beavcrdam's returns evoked no pro test and Hazel's passed properly. The First ward ol Asheville and the Second ward of the same brought ubu-cttons and they were laid aside. The Third ward was allowed to be recorded. This concluded the call of the precincts to which no obietti ins had been made. J. Will Jones of Fairview moved to begin at tbe head ol tne list oi otijtcted town ships and go through, ratifying them or rejecting them ns the case might be. This was opposed bv Dr. Clonlz and Mr. Jones withdrew it. A motion p-issid to I take up the Upper Hominy returns, Locke Craig, esq., stated that these returns were very irregular at least. He hnd no pcrsonnl interest in the matter, ns he considered that in any event he was defeated. Col, Lusk made the point that no sub ta-nas had been issued lor the judges or registrar. Mr. Kicb, in order to get the matter belore the board, moved to accept the returns under question Col. Lusk said he was interested in these returns to the tune of a small mn i irit v, but he felt a delicacy in appear ing in his own behalf, and if a contest was to be made be wanted the privilege ol emplving counsel. ). M. Uudger, jr., thought it odd that Col. Lusk should not know these con tests would come up, when he (Lusk) and Pearson had yesterday appeared and gave notice of expected contests in certain precincts. A motion was passed to swear tbe judge present from Upper Hominy, Ham' tlton Luther, in regard to the irregular returns Upon examination Mr. Luther snid the returns were certainly those from Upper Ilominv; that they had no regular blunks on which to make out tbe returns, and had torn a leal from the registration books. It was called to his attention tbnt in the record of the judicial vote the name ol William Ballard Cmincill, Democratic candidate, did not appear. There was the name of Ballard however, and this, Mr. Luther said, he thought was a mistake tbat these votes should be counted for Councill. Locke Craig alluded to the statement made in the campaign bv Pearson that every iot and title ol the election law should be carried out. 1 be ucmocrats, he said, also warned it cariicd out. He did not see bow the bonrd could judi cially pass upon the returns in qu stion. The discussion was interrupted here by Cbuirman Webb, who threatened to have a warrant issued for those who would not take seats in the room and keep them. ludge Merrimon snid he was satisfied that the returns ought to be rejected ns thoroughly incompetent. There were no initials prefixed to the names ot tbe can didates voted fer. The matter could be remedied bv the board, however, because tbe board bad the power to summ m necessary witnesses and papers. The ir regularities were not such as to thro out the box. be thought, but were cer tamlv such as to call tor tbe reaction ot this narticular return. On motion ol j, will Jones the entire board took scuts in the jury box, to en tirely separate itsell from the attorneys iiuuiiiniu.TO...... rt . nl ...1. ..u 1 - 11 1 11 lire viiuiik " " u..ufc . . . v.. this district that the elections were as fair and honest as they could be. . He bad said, and he would say again, and bad no aoolngv to make for it, that the elections in Western North Carolina were absolutely fair and honest. He urged the board not to lose this prestige by disfranchising some 400 voters ol Bun combe. Bwart went into a discussion of the election law, when Mr. Craig made the point of order that the campaign was over, enough stump speeches had been made, and that Ewart should confine himself to tbe matter in band. Ewart then spoke to the returns, which had been signed by the judges, and bad been drawn by the registrar. He called tbe objection strictly technical, and csn- tended that the paper ought to be re ceived. Locke Craig combated the reception of the paper, saying the board could not judicially pass upon such returns. Bun combe was just as proud of her honor as j Mr. Ewart was, arid it needed no lecture I from him on that point. The board was not asked to throw out any box, nor was it contended that there was auy dishonesty connected with the matter. Chairman Webb hoped the remarks ol counsel would be cut short, as the mem bers ol the board had other businessto at- t.nil tn anil nrnnfpH in nut ikmnnh am quictiy al possible lust here Col Lusk stated that he had ne objections be bad made yesterday to the returns from any ol the precincts, J. H. Stelling, registrar of the Fourth ward, followed this with the statement thut g. W. Cannon had filed an affidavit declaring that he I Stelling) had regis- tered Democratic voters illegally, and if Cannon would apologize lot what he i"da'!: fJSS nol apologize then, Stelling said, he w " HUUI d TY UIB.

Mr. Jones said so far as be was concerned be proposed to do bis duty as be saw it, and in making up his mind it would make no diflerence whether the Democratic or the Republi can party should be the lostr by it. He thought some of the remarks of counsel seemed to leave the inference that the board bad not sufficient intelligence to determine the questions before it. He did not propose to stand on every technical' ity, and, lurtbermore, be tor one, was prepared to accept the paper under coU' sideration as the returns from Upper Hominy. The speech bad the effect ol assuring the crowd that the court would now proceed rapidly and mat the returns would bring out no more objections belore taking up the vote, however, an adjournment was taken till 2 o'clock, for dinner. Afternoon Session, At 2 o'clock hen the body renssein bled, before tbe call ol the roll, Locke Craig stated that objections that had been made by the Democratic Bide of the house were withdrawn. Richmond Pear son stated that be had made objections that he might not waive his rights. He had beard that votes were to be thrown out in Cherokee, but bad heard from tbe ifhcial count there, and there was no contest in any of the counties. Col. Martin, chairman of thecountv committee, couldn't see what Chtrokee had to do witb Buncombe. And tbe Upper Hominy returns were accepted on motion ot I. Will lones. Ivv township s vote was called, when Mr. Craig read an amdavit by I. u car ter, alleging that Registrar I. H. Brit- tain was not at the polls a large portion ol election day; that tbe boxes were taken from the polling place 50 cr 75 yards and counted in a room the door of which was lucked, although a lew elec tors were admitted. Registrar Brittain who is a member of the cauvassing board, stated that he had worked about the polls a part of election day; that the I door was locked in order to keep lout some d'unken persons who mignt nave entered. Dr. uontz said it was charged that Mr. Brittain's wife entered tbe names eif some electors on the books. Mr. Brittain was sworn and said his wife had done so, but thut he (Brittain) bad afterward adminis tered the oath to those persons alluded to. Considerable discussion followed, in which it was shown that some one not properly authorized to take part in tbe counting had done so. Pearson asked Dr. Clontz whose fault it was, and tbe Doctor replied: "I don't know it might been yours for all I know." I. Will ones warned tne board tbat it was getting into the same squabble it had before noon, and emphatically avowed that he was prepared to accept Ivy s returns. His speecb was applaud ed and there were calls of "Hurrrah for Jones." Big Ivy was then accepted and counted. When French Broad was taken up, the Republicans withdrew objections and tbe Pearson vote was put down as 119 instead of 129. THE ( OWAHDI.Y CHINESE.

This morning tbe chances ap pear to favor the Populists by a small plurality. Tbe same may be said of the second, third, fourth, seventh and ninth congressional districts, in all of which tbe result will be close, with the outlook favoring the third party. The Populists have unquestionably elected congress men in tbe sixth, eight n, eleventh ann thirteenth districts, while the Republi cms have carried the twelfth. Thus tar the Democrats have a certainty ol onlv two districts the first and the fifth, out of thirteen.

Attorney-Gen eral Olney, in conversation with friends during the past few months, has ex preseed himself as anxious to return to private life, stating tbat the drudgcry and responsibilities of tbe position arc wearing on him. His private law prac tice, it is said, is even now worth from $30,000 to $40,000 a year, and would be largely increased if he were free Irom official trammels.
