Eight are conceded. and the names are given in the majority report. I pass to the controverted issues. The majority report shows this: They find 32 illegal votes to have been cast for the contestee. twentythree of them are the votes of colored persons. seven of them are in a miscellaneous class. one of them was an alleged imbecile. another one is said not to have resided in the township where he voted. but in another township within the same district. and five of them are said not to have been citizens because not naturalized. and then there are said to have been two colored voters more who came from the Albia mines. The majority report finds only a majority of fourteen for contestant. and the report which I have presented in behalf of the minority finds amajority of fourteen the other way. Sothat the case comes down to clese quarters.
