[3]There were elections for Commissioner for both 2 years and for 1 year to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of William Fogle. "The law expressly says, there shall be a pertinant designation of the office for which each candidate may be intended to fill. - By turning to the abstract it will be perceived, that there were some votes given without designation, some for two years, and some properly designated. On estimating the whole number of votes, it appears that John Sluss has a majority of TEN - and on estimating those correctly designated, James Drennan has a majority of NINETEEN." The Ohio Repository (Canton, OH). October 17, 1816.
[4]"Two of the judges appointed to open and decide on the returns, have declared JOHN SLUSS duly elected commissioner, for one year." The Ohio Repository (Canton, OH). October 17, 1816.
