MAYOR MACKLIN STILL..
Chancellor Boyd Upholds His Honor
Judge Doyle's Decision.
the appeal (tont the decision of His
Honor Judge Hoyle unseating Robert
Thompson as Mayor ul liutferich was
decided by Chancellor Boyd on Mou-
Qay. the Chancell,1r411'boldiwolJ sae.
Dnylc'r decision,
the matter is nut settled yet, though,
so perhapa there will be wore heard of
it. He intimates that he is not hook -
ening after the position at all but he
.'slants what is r'll(ht.
•The following it the' report of the
Chancellor's finding The Ie'u•ued
Chancellor has carefully examined the
ballot papers imeacheed in this islet,
tiou and veritiNt the t t,I tosions of the
County ('out•L Judge a. to their having
leen 11npropet ly t: weal evith.
Held, that there it a method itt the
manipulation of these changed ballots
which indicates design and not user••
accident on the part of the voters'. In
polling division 1 the change made in
the two ballots indicates that before
the change the coon of the vote. wow
correctly given by the deputy return-
ing officer as 72 for Thompson, 11 fur
Clark, and 11 for Macklin. By telte-
ing one vote for ('lark and one for
Macklin and marking lath for
Thompson, Thompson was given ien
appareut vote of 71 on the recount.
The inference appears irresistible that
the change was tnade by improper
tampering with the ballot -boa and its
contents between the vetuau of the
officer and the subsequent t•ecuunt.
But upon the elaborate investigation
arising upon the quo warrant() and
with the evidence then given the
Baud WAS exposed by the judge. The
judgment contains x very full eisd
careful consideration of the whole dig•
put and the judge's conclusions are
well founded. There her been as !nest
unseeuliy dirtegard of the sUatutory
directions for the secrecy and security
of election by ballet. No .are was
exercised in the safeguarding of the
ballot -boxes. and, intentionally or
carelessly, every facility hernia to
have been given after the close of the
election to permit access to the con-
tenta of the ballot -toxo+. which has
resulted in Lhis perversion of the real
and true vote. The candidate de"
dared elected by a plurality of I d,, es
not desire to hold the oilier, and so
expressed himself, and indeed counsel
on both sides agreed that this is a ease
in which the mayoralty election
should be vacated at e1 and another
eke.
Lion held for that office- the Chan-
cellor regrets that the municipality
rhould be raddled with the expanse re-
sulting from an abortive election, hit

Just a word to those who have been wearing homely, couunonelae
shoes for comfort, but with a regretful ugh for the more fashionable and
handsome styles.
Our new "Queen Quality" shoes will give you not only the comfort you
must have, but also the smart style and elegance you want and ought to ...ties.
And you get these shoes at no higher prices than you pay for Just ordinary
good shoes. But all this means nothing unless you test it. We invite you to
do so.
