LAWYERS CoNFERRING AND ANOTHER BLUFF
ADDRESS ISSUED.
The committee of Democratic lawyers, who have
come to the assistance of the desperate Democracy,
held a mass-meeting III this city yesterday,
for the purpose OF mapping out Their
campaign against the official canvass. Among
those present were General Francis e. Barlow, f..
Eliery Anderson, A. j. vanderpoel. Charles T..
Miller Albert Stickney and F. l.. Stetson
Mr.. Anderson said to a TRIBUNE reporter last
evening: THE object Of the conference to-day
was to determine by an examination of the law
what are the limits to which the Republicans can
go in invoking the aid of the courts to
interfere with the count of the votes on Tuesday,
and TO take measures to protect tho interests
of the Democratic party, and secure an honest
count Of the votes cast in this state"
"Will lawyers he sent from this city to witness
the official canvass in the country cOuntiesf"
There are lawyers enough i'll the various coun-
ties to protect the interests of the party. But
wherever they want assistance prepared TO
furnish it, and able lawyers will be sent where
needed."
Several of the ambitious Dependent" lawyers
rendered their services to the Democratic State
Committee to watch the canvass III some
OF the counties IN the Interior of the State
They Were told that when their services were re-
Guired they would be called on, but that the com
mittee preferred to engage the services of local
counsel declined with thanks" said one of the
lawyers, somewhat crestiallen, In narra,ing the
matter TO a friend. IT looks as though they had
no use for us after election"
The Democratic State Committee has issued still
another address. In this they say they deem 1t
their duty to announce 10 the people of the State
that /" the Republican managers have conceived a
new scheme for throwing again into dispute the re-
suit of the election in his State" This scheme
Is declared 10 be "tO make of the boards
OF county canvassers throughout the State, where
controlled by them so many returning boards after
the pattern Of those not long used by them IN
the Southern States. Wherever the boards fail
1ect Of this is declared 10 be 10 throw again into
dispute the result of the election aud involve II in
lltefmluable itgation." The representatives of
the Democratic party in the various counties are
called on 10 he ON the alert.
