The sheriffs of Jasper, Newton, White and Starke counties will not meet at Montlcello until Wednesday of next week to canvass the vote for Joint senator. The law provides that they must meet together the first Wednesday following the election. As elections usually come on Tuesday the sheriffs meet the following day, hut as the special election was held on Thursday the vote cannot be canvassed by the sheriffs until nearly a week after the election. The special session of the legislature met the next day after the election, and if that body sees fit to recognise Mr. Law's election before the meeting of the sheriffs, they have the right to do so, and this action will probably be taken, if it has not already been.
