Gov LLoYD's APPoIETEE TURNED
DowE.--A decision has just been rem.
dered by Judge Hoffman, in the case
Of Craigen vs.. Luman, in favor of the
former, who contested the right of the
Governor to remove him as register of
voters OF District No. IA of AlIegany
county. Judge Hoffman says:
"The vacancy must actually exist
before the power of appointment can
be exercised, for it is only the exist
ence of the vacancy that can call into
activity the power to appoint. 1t is
plain from the whole case that the
Governor, in issuing the commission
to Hambright, acted under misap-
prebension of the facts in regard TO
Crsigen's presence in Washington
The mandamus will, therefore, be
granted in accordance with the pray
