the contest Will be based are, that the
Democratic party was not Represented by
any election judge or clark in either
North Murderkil or East Dover hun.
dEeds tnat Richardson's olaotion was a.
cured by fraudulent aad illegal yotes
that the combination tiohet UPON which
his name appeared, was M Illegal one aud
contrary 10 the provisions of The uniform
ballot law, which provided that the ticket
shall DO headed With the name of tho
party TO wnicb q majority Of tire persons
on the ticket belong, that tho Salisbury
ballot contained the nantes Of Ia Reuub,
hcana and seven Democrats and wsa
headed DenocratiO ticket and was there
fore illegal.
Objection was made to these ballots
being counted by +. NJ. Dunn on the owe
OF the contest, and WHEN the board OF
canvass met in .hs 81 district Hen. NIB.
Smithers gave IL as hls opinion that as
Suckers were used, the hallots were LEGAL.

to law.
This state Of Affairs haaput q decidedly
different aspect on the situation end lie
Wolcott people have hopes that q Repub-
hcan will not succeed Eli saulsbufy in
the United States seaate. Ia the event
OF Richardson being ouated and the seat
given to Ridgely, the assembly would b.
tic on joint ballot. Richardson's
majority over kidgalg Was 1853 1t is re-
ported that contests OF the election Of The
Republican State senator ia Euss6x will
also be attempted. IL Id predicted that
unusually lively proceedings will chas-
actefizs the coming session OF the Legis.
iature, but what the outcome will DO, can
only be oOnjeotured.
