decision rendered by the Supreme Court Of
Appeals this morning In the case OF COT
against Wilson puts an end to General
Cons aspirations 20 the gOyernOfship, at

opinion was by Judge Snyder and was quite
. lengthy one, consisting OF nearly four
thousand words. The following copy ct
the SYLLABUS states the ground upon which
the decision was rendered:
"W ben neither the Speaker OF the House
Of Delegates nor the joint assembly OF both

the Speaker OF the House 10 have received
the highest number OF votes for that Office
10 be the Governor and compel the person
who was The Governor during tue preceding
term TO deliver the office and its insignia TO
him."
The following is the closing paragraph OF
the opinion: " The declaration OF the result
