shaw's Case is Pleaded Out of Court.
Which DO You Want, Toy or Grubb?
To Meet Next Monday,
The Democratic Executive Committee
of New Castle county resumed its ses-
sions at 10 o'clock this morning with
Shawvs. Lodge under consideration. Mr.
Nandegritt, counsel for John Shaw, who
was the Wolcott candidate for the Legis-
lature on last Saturday, fell into a nice
little trap. At the meeting of the com
mittee yesterday Mr. Vandegrift pre-
scented a notice of contest for the legisla-
tive nomination in Brandywine hundred
Mr.. McWhorter, quick to take advantage
of a point moved to receive the
notice. Mr.. Vandegrift expended all his
energies yesterday afternoon on the
double ballot that was thrown out by the
inspectors. Under the party rules there
is no provision whatsoever for the settle
ment of tic votes but rule 3 gives the
committee power to settle all contests
Hence Mr.. Vandegrift's notice of con
test placed the matter in the hands of the
committee. Mr.. salisbury saw the effect
of 1t and accepted the issue at once Mr.
Nandegrift proposed to Mr.. Salisbury that
the merits of the question rest upon the
general and primary election laws Here
again he got himself into a hole for the
primary election law provides that all
double ballots shall be thrown out and an
amendment to the general election law
gives the inspectors power to settle the
matter.
Consequently, this morning Mr. Vande-
gritt changed his position During the
night he had evidently discovered his
mistake, and so he repudiated his argu-
ment Of the night before and made a pas
sionate peal Of nearly an hours
length asking the committee in
the name Of fairness to relegate
the matter back to the hundred
Mr.. salisbury made brief reply, ridi-
culing the position Of Mr.. Yandegrift and
refusing to retreat from the grounds of
the night before After the attorneys
had concluded, all persons were excluded
from the room except members of the
committee The matter was brought up
ON the resolution which is published on
page of this journal and which gives the
nomination to George Lodge the Sauls-
bury candidate. The resolution was
adopted.
The cases Of Thomas Toy vs.. Samuel
hillgore in Christiana hundred and John
n. Anderson VS. Isaac N. Grubb of
Brandywine, both for Levy Court, were
then informally discussed 1t was de
cided to ask all the persons interested to
appear with counsel on next Monday
afternoon and then present their cases.
The case Of Thomas Toy is said to be very
strong, but there is an impression abroad
among the committee as the cases are
similar, that if Toy goes in, Grubb goes
out

All signs FaiIea.

All signs failed this morning and the
weather wiseacres who prophesied yester-
day wish now that they had not been so
rash. 1t was certain to rain to-day.
This was agreed by everybody. A strong
northeaster broke out shortly after 6
o'clock last evening and along the hours
of the evening, even up to midnight, it
made the timbers rattle. Folk began to
wonder whether the equinoctial storm
had anticipated itself. Newspaper re-
porters sharpened their pencils for local
storm report this morning But this
morning turned out to be the calmest,
brightest and most beautiful for a week.
Life is worth living again, aud the city
after all is not deserted village.
