of Democratic politicians here to-day resulted in
Rudolph Brand sending telegram to General
Palmer, his attorney in the Brand-Leman con-
tested election case, requesting him to dismiss
the mandamus proceedings directed against the
State Canvassing Board. Mr.. Brand says he de-
sires to await the decision of Governor Hamilton
before taking any further action, but says he
does not intend by this to waive his claim to a
seat in the State Senate.

Gen. Gordon's repeated requests that he be sent

quite a different construction upon Gen Cor

losing the upper hand. The officials of the
Egyptian Cabnent also believe that Gordon
