They Couldn't Count Them
As isstated in another column, there weré a number of votes in tliis county at the last election which the inspector's couldn't count, because they were either not marked at all or so markeü as not to count for anyone. Since writing the article referred to an examination of the poll lists and returns of seventeen out of the thirty-one towns and wards of this county reveáis the f act that 102 votes were not counted at all in these 17 precincts. If the other wards and towns, the pollmg lists of which we have not had opportunity to examine, show the sanie throtving out of votes beyond the power of the inspectors to count, the shortage of 200 votes over the election of 1888 is iniply accounted for. The number of votes not countable found by examina; tion of VarioU-s votinjr jn?jincU v follows: Second ward, Ann Arbor, 7; Fifth ward, Ann Arbor, 4; Sixth Ward, Ann Arbor, 4; Fourthward, Ypsilanti, 3; Ann Arbor town, 3; Dexter, 5; Freedom, 3; Lima, 2; Lyndon, 2; Nortlifleld, 14; Pittsfield, 9; Salem, 5; Scio, 11; Syïvan, 16; Sharon, 8; Superior, 3.
