A Legal Opinion. The return Judges who served at Wt Satin day's Republican primaries will meet this afternoon In the rooms ot the Centrnl Republican club for th" purpose of compiling the return.! nrd deciding who tho partv nominees are. At 2 o'clock the meeting of the re turn Judges will be called to order by C. E. Chittenden, chnltmnn of tho Republican city committee. Follow ln;r H the order of business provided for this meeting In tho Crawford county rules. Roll call, temporary organiza tion, uopolntment ot committees, le port of committees, permanent organ ization, compiling returns it is highly probable that effort .vltl be made to make some changes li the rules beforp today's convention rd Journs As the rules stand now', a candidate has a right fifteen days bo foie election to order n many "olU clnl" ballots as he may see lit to pay foi. There Is a desire to chanjre tho word "olllclal" to "specimen" that a greater safegauid may bo thrown around the expiesslon of the peoplu s will. A "specimen" ballot will servo the same purpose ns tho "offi cial" so far ns showing voters tho prop er manner to mark ballots Is con cerned, and will pi event the abuses that might follow In the wake ot a general distribution of the "olPclil" ballots. Changes with refernce to al lowing lepresentatlves of candidates to watch the counting of votes and tne manner of counting will also bo sug gested. MUCH SPECULATION. Theie was a good deal of spectil.itlo-i in to what today's convention will do with the assessor problem. If til ofH- e'ai compilation ot tho vote s-hould show that C. S. Towler and Philip Rlnsland ate two ot the highest candi dates they will be certified as the 110111 luecfc, even If thev do reside In tie same waul, Iho convention, Chaliman ci itien tb n said jesterdny, will take tho Pos ition that they aie for the puioo&e of ciit!flng tho names of candidates .ho 1 cohod the laigest number of votes, nt.d have no light to consider any letal questions that may aiisp. if either Mr. Fowler or Mr Rlnsland is not entitled to the nominal on tho matter will piobably be brought to the attention of the courts and be piupeily parsed upon. A gentleman of high standing in tlie legal piofession In elis- cisslng the innttei with a Tilbune man said vesteulav ' If Mi Klnsland and Mi Fowlr aie nominated today It may bilng about a legal snail, but Just at this time the contingency is somewhat leniote. As 1 umleiwtund the law, theie is nothing to pi event two men fiom the faiinie w.ud being candidates for assessor. Roth may not be elected, you know. "If both aie elected then the matter would natuially come befoie the court. Whether or not they would say that tho man who lecelved the laigest num bet of votes was entitled to the oillre leninlns to be seen. If Mr. Illus'.vi 1 is one of the nominees he 1.111 move out of the Thirteenth ward, or Mr. J."ov'r can, and that will cure that de ((... at once. HE COULD NOT VOTE '.Such action would deprive the man moving of his vote at the coming elec tion, but would not nffect hlh standing as a candidate. He Is a citizen of Scianton, and tlie meie tact ot moving fiom one distilct to another within a given time piim- to the election caulcs nlth It no further penalty than Inability to vote. "The matter might come to the at tention of the court Immediately after tlie nomination on tlie motion of tho man fouith on the list, who deshed to have his name substituted on t're official ballot for Rlnsland, let us sav, If he happened to be low man. I douot If the couit would take any action It would piobably lUle that there Is nothing to consider until after the ele -tlon Is held. It Is the election not nomination that Is refeired to in the act." m FIFTY-EIGHT DEATHS. That Was the Unusual Number in Scranton Last Week. Last week's death rate In Scranton lini been exceeded but once In four jcars. Fifty-eight deaths resulted fiom all causes.
