margin, at the expiration of which all
the returns will certainly appear. The
people will Look with concern 70 see
whether such methods viii deceive the
custodians of so grave a verdict as that
which rests with the eanyassing board

sense of responsibility in the premises
will doubtless show even 10 the
ablest Democratic embodiment OF legal
~technicalities for reasonable delay.
The legal question referred to yester-
day comes in to-day: Do the laws of
Florida require the governor to seer
tain and declare the election of presi-
DENTAL electorsg The Democrats asked
to submit argument on the question,
and the governor requested them to do
So Instead of presenting argument,
they rush to a Democratic circuit judge

isterial duty which the law requires at
his hands. In the effort of the Demo-
Gratis to enjoin Governor Stearns from
performing his duty, they pass by the
supreme Judiciary of the state, forty

enough to subserye their party pur.
poses.

Everything is quiet. The contest
begins before Judge White tomorrow,
when the injunction against the gov
