Wilmington. Del, Dec. - (Specian.-For the first
time in the history of Delaware, the Democratic party
now 1t is doing this before the courts Of the state
The latest phase of the question the application for
mandamus to compel the collectors to issue receipts
has developed into a fight between Senator Higgins
and Senator Gray. Senator Higgins represents the
Republican party of the State, which is endeavoring
to obtain for its members their voting franchise with
out continual trouble and fraud senator Gray rep
csents the Democratic party, and is defending the
obstructive and Illegal tactics OF the tax
collector An answer filed In court today
TO petition for a mandamus compelling Tax Collector
John j. Dougherty 10 honor certain powers of al
torney and to issue tax receipts John H. Rodney
ESQ., Represented the defendant but the answer showed
the hand Of Mr. Bayad, the father of the law and Of
senator Gray. The answer affirmed that free and
ample opportunity had been given all men to pay
since last May that his frequent absence from
his Office during October caused by the necessity
collecting property recoup the county treas
ury that no one allowed to issue poll taxes in
his absence because such a would lead TO con
fusion and fraud He alleged tumultuous conduct on
the part of designing men, crOwdlng his Office and
demanding poll receipts at the sacrifice of the
other business of the office. He afirms that the
was advised that he not liged TO honor them
that give receipts in large numbers TO one person
would give the person holding them an unlawful N,
nuence and control The afidavits of wilful neglect
improper performance of duty either denied or
explained. In conclusion the defendant denies the
right of the petitioner TO make the application for the
reason that there three months In which TAX
ables can pay the tax assessed upon them. The
court fixed Friday next as time to hear arguments
