A Big Becbptioo-
Unique in the history of Indiana is the reception tendered to Mr. W. W, Winward by the directors and employes of the New York Store at Indianapolis on the evening of January 2. Mr. Winward has been vice-president and general manager of the store and now leaves it to take a similar position with "The Fair"' at Chicago, the largest store in the world. The reception is to be given at the store building. The immense carpet department, comprising the whole of the third floor will be cleared for dancing, and refreshments will be served in tho restaurant on the fifth floor. Probably in no other store in the state would this kind of an affair be possible. Nearly one thousand invitations have been issued and a very enjoyable evening is anticipated.

AGAINST BIBLE.
The Commissioners Render a Decision in Favor of Davi3—The Verdict. Quite a crowd assembled in the commissioners' court last Tuesday at which time tho Board of Commissioners had promised to rondor tho verdict in the caso of John P.Bible vs. Chas. C. Davis. As tho result of their del'berations thov found for Davie, declaring him elected by tho small plurality of four votes over Mr. Bible. Following is the verdict in full as r.wl by Commissioner Fullen:
OPINION.
"In determining the validity or invalidity of the protested ballots, I adopted the following test or rule. Where there was any mark upon a ballot other than those required by law to be placed upon it by the voter, in the act of voting, and the ballot itself bore intrinsic evidence that the mark had been intentionally placed upon it by the voter, I regarded it as a distinguishing mark but if the ballot itself bore intriusic evidence that the mark had not been intentionally placed upon it by the voter, I did not regard it as a distinguishing mark. To illustrate, I will cite a few ballots.'Ballots Nos. 1 and 2, in precinct No. 3, Coal Creek township, are each plainly stamped in the square at the head of the Democratic ticket, and each have a dim, apparent stamp mark in tho square at the head of the Peoples' ticket. At first view these dim marks might be taken Jfor real 'stamp marks. But folding the ballots as tho voters folded them proves that they are only impresuions from the real stamp marks in the square at the head of the Democratic ticket. These ballots were properly counted by the election boRrd as straight
Democratic tickets. Ballots Nos. 2 and 3 in Franklin, precinct No, 1.1 counted for the contestor, the evidence of the ballots being in favor of their validity. No. 2 is blurred with ink only ilightly on the back." No. 3 doesn't seem to have anything the matter with it only that tho stamp mark in the rooster square is nmall. I counted ballot No. 1, precinct No. 3, Franklin, for the contestor. It has a dim, apparent stamp mark at the bottom of the Democratic tickot. The folding|of the ballot proved that it is an impression from the Btamp in the square of tho rooster. I counted ballots Nos. 1 and 3, Walnut, precinct No. 1, for the contestee. They are beth stamped in the square of the eagle and hive dim impreBsions'of these stamps at the bottom of the Republican ticket. Ballot No. 1, precinct No. 3, Walnut, I counted for the contestor. Small stamp in the rooster square. The mark indicates that it was made by the Btamp. Ballot No. 3, Clark, No. 2, I counted for the contestor. The three dim stamp marks on thejupper margin of the ballot are impressions from the stamp marks in front of tho last t:hroo names on the Democratic ticket.
I counted ballot No. 2,
Union No. 15, for the contestee. Tho dim stamp marks on tbe upper margin of the ballot are impressions from tho stamp marks in front of Elmore's and Peterson's names.
To show that tho impressions above referred to got upon the ballots in all probability innocently on the part of the voter, I call attention to the fact that five of the ballots were stamped only at heads of the tickets, and tho impressions were made by the single stamp marks, showing tbat the actB of stamping and folding could have,and in all probability did, follow each other in quick succession. Tho impressions on the other two ballots aro made by the last stamp marks at the bottom of the tickets, indicating again a possibility and probability of a quick succession of tho acts of stamping and folding.
The question presented from precinct No. 4, Union township, is one which the Board has given a great deal of thought, and have had no little difficulty in try
ing to solve it. Under former oleotion laws of tho State, in which provision
WHS
made for tho preservation of the ballots, ^ur Supreme Court has held in. many cases that the ballots, when preserved in the mode prescribed by the statute, are the best evidence of tho result of the election. Under the present election law only a very few of the ballots are preserved. All the others are destroyed by the election boards. The question then
arisoB,
which is the better evidence of the rosult of tho election tho tally-sheet* or the certificates? The solution of this question depends, largoly upon whether the papers have been preserved in th» mode prescribed by the statute. Is the caso before us the evidence is that bag containing the papers was properly sealed by one of the election judges at the closa of the count and and delivered to the inspector. The inspector swear* that he delivered it to the County Clerk early on the morning following the elocution, and that the seal had not been broken. And when the other papers were found' the evidence ia tbat they were exactly like those taken out of the sealed bag. The board being satisfied that the evidence precludes the idea of the papers hav ing been at any time tampered with and recognizing the fact that the tally sheets are nearer to the ballots than the certificates, feels that they are better evideace of the result of the election than the certificates. It therefore accepts the result of the election in said precinct as returned by the Board of Canvassers^
In this matter the board iB a unit. It is clear to my mind from the evidence that there were several persons voted in this county at thie last election who were not legal voters. Some of them were persons who formerly had a residence here, but had none at the date of the election. One was' the man who voted in the wrong precinct. And another had not been in the state long enough. The others were students who* were not fully emancipated from the pa-' rental control, and hence were not legal voters. Of transient laborers I have nothing to say. Presumably under the evidence the most of the persons refer* red to, voted for the contestee. But the evidence to that effect is not conclusive. Because a man belongs to a certain political organization, we are left to infer that he voted for a particular candidate
'or
a particular office.
The evidence is not such in. my opinion as would warrant the debiting of the couteatee "with any certain number of illegal votes.
The vote of the contestee as returned! by the Board of Canvassors is 3,824, and that of the contestor is 3j818. Under the rule above laid down, I credit the contestee with three protested ballots not counted by the election boards, making his vote 3,827, and I credit the contestor with five protested balloted ballots, not counted by tho election boards, making his vote 3,823, the difference in favor of the contestee being four votes, which is his his majority as herein determined.
