Many of Kellogg’ votes were thrown out by the commission ers of election this year, because they were placed In the wrong box, or because, as al leged, they were tint printed on water- lifted paper, although the paper nstd ivas purchased from the Secretary of State, as the law requires. Yet there is only about 500 majorty claimed against Kellogg In two Demo -crntic parishes, La Payette and Calcasieu? the returns were not signed or certified to by the clerk of the court. Upon precisely this ground in 1882 the board of canvassers, consisting of tue Governor, Secretary of Btate and Attorney‘General, threw out St. Mary s and Assumption parishes and s New Iberia poll, all of which gave Kell ogg a large majority. In Iberia —ri*b. this year. beMdes the violence prat- M, tbi* c uutnlssioiiers of elections did not appear at three large Repnblicau polls consequently there was no election held By this action Kellogg also lost several hundred votes.

All the returns of the 8t*te wereoolleoted by th* Associated Press, the compiling was dons In ltsoffltcs by its own agents, and all bulletins were prepared by it, and coulee were simply delivered to Mr. Somerville, the soperlotendent of our newspaper service, for general distribution to the public. This eomptrallrely had nothing to do with making op the bulle tins, nor did tny officer, agent or other person connected with or Interested In ibis company, except the operators who sent the returns, bar* access to or see any of them nntll tha bulletins bad been made np therefrom In tho Associated Press office and handed to ns for pnblio distribution. I have no reason to believe that other agents of the Associated Press acted other wise than In an impartial manner. Ordi narily, many, ol our offlcea are not kept open for business after 8 p. m. To assist In meeting the extraordinary expense of the extra employment of several thousand night operators, we hare had for several yean arrangements with tbe pmi associ ations, giving ns tbe privilege of telling bulletins to nolitlcal and social dubs and other snb.-crlblng enstomen. We simply took tbe Associated Press bulletins as that asaociatinn had made them np, and deliv ered them as heretofore to enstomen who had subscribed for them—nothing more. The charge that the returns were pur- p uscly withheld, or that there was on- usual delay in reporting them, Is entirely false. Instead of such delay there was extraordinary promptness. Ntvt-r be fore have report* from so many election diatricti been received In ao short a time. Within forty-eight hours when the connt of ballots began, returns were received from all but ninety-eight precincts oat of 8.006 election districts In the State. Although daring Iheeleotlon the weather wmstormy and there wei some trouble lit working the wlree, no delay occurred In any reports banded to onr offl.ei outside tha city of New York. Within the city the telegraph service wee at marly perfect as it was pos sible to make It, and the only tronblo wrs with some of tbe wlree hastily erected for temporary use. It le here to Denoted that before tbe majoiitlea reported (rent tt e must accessible comities have been so de cisive that the popular mind baa barn act at rest respecting Ihe result of Ihe election on the first night, and there being no bone or fear of a change in tha general reiult, subsequent returns, more ■— tardy, have stra, )etr bad to adjourn over be cause the county elerka bad op to that time been unable to get in Ihe voteof their oonntiex The only other retorne com- a alned of were those o! Indiana, where, at e request of tho political commitieea and the press, In the absence of any agent of the Associated Press, the reports came through end were sent out hy our super- nteudent, Mr. 1. W. Walllck, wbo-inelste that he need every effort to obtain ell the retorne at speedily as poeeible. i consider the demand for an Investigation of that •ervloe made by the Indianapolis Sentinel, nnd also by Mr, Walllck himself, reasona ble and proper, and I have asked tbe ebalrmau of the Indiana Democra lc State committee to take part in the Investiga tion, or to name a represmtatire lo do to.

Whql their individual political opinions are hat never been In any case calltd Into queatlon, nor have their votes ever been canvassed or aeoerttlned; but of Iboeo with whom I personally carao In contact I know that there are quite ns many Democrats as Re publicans.
