The Harman.Reeye contested cleo
ton case was up again before Judge
Bross yesterday. An application was
filed by Reeve. defendant. to require
complainant to give security for the costs
in the contest. Judge Bross sustained
the application, and Mr. Hartman
al once filed the necessary bond. Reeve.
by his attorney, Jackson Frick, Esq. then
entered demurrer to the bill of COM
plant. The demurrer was argued BY
Messrs. Mulkey and Linegar tor the
complainants, and by Mr. Frick fer the
defendant, Reeve. Judge Bross took the
question under advisement, and will rem
der his decision sometime during the
week.
Reeve thinks Judge Bross is prcju-
diced against him, being a Democrat, and
wants to get before Judge Baker, who
will not be prejudiced against him, being
Republican. Reeve, we are sure, is
mistaken. Bross will do exact justice
even if he has to walk over his party to
do 50. He is little set In his opinions,
but is honest as the day is long, and will
not permit politics to twist his judgment
Judge Baker would also be just and fear
not. He is a Republican, but Reeve
would have no better success before him
than before Bross. Baker is, as Bross
is, a little set in his political opinion but
he Is as honest as Bross, and his politics
would not influence him even in q con
tested election case.
