To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In each of the other eleven districts, where the proceedings had been fair and regular, the judges did make their returns in due form, and, no protests being filed, no allegations of fraud or illegal voting being made, the governor granted certificates, as a matter of course, to the persons who had received the highest number of legal votes. This was the reason why, in every case where there had been illegal voting or unfairness in the elections, there were omissions or defects on the face of t...he returns, showing that the judges appointed by Governor Reeder Avould not certify and verify the certificates by their oaths that they were all legal voters when such was not the fact. This accounts for the coincidence that in each case where there were protests or allegations of fraudulent or illegal voting filed, there appeared such defects or omissions on the face of the returns made by the judges as raised the presumption that the allegations were in some degree true. But it does not by any means follow, nor is it the fact, as intimated, although not directly stated, in the minority report, that the governor did not go behind the returns, but confined his action to the defects and omissions apparent on their face.
