dividual members thereof
December 3, 1891.
The Republicans will be represented by several
Of their able counsel at this early session oi
Judge Edwards's court at Troy tomorrow
morning. 1t should be stated that all that
Judge Edwardss stay against the State Board of
Canyassers did was to restrain that noble body
Of men from acting upon the Dutchess County
can have an opportunity to correct any errors
made during the compilation by the Democratic
Board of Supervisors Of Duchess County. Why
Maynard should be so anxious to prevent Judge
Barnard from correcting the returns is perfectly
obvious. But such action by Democratic officials
who profess such desire to have election
disputes settled by the courts is amusing.
Governor Hill in two annual mcssenges
has recommended that the constitution
be amended so as to provide that disputes over
seats in the Legislature shall be settled by the
courts, and vet the people can perceive that the
Democratic State Board Of Canvassers. under the
lead OF AttorneyGeneral Tabor and his deputy,
MIR. Maynard, are seeking to relax grip which
the courts now have upon the state Board OF
Canvassers, to prevent that Board from settling
disputed election case. Doubtless Governor
Hill will reproach the State Board OF Canvassers

attitude upon this great question of submitting
disputed election to the courts. but at last
accounts the Governor was not weeping hard over
its action. Indeed, there are some persons so

wherein he says:

resolution submitting the people amendment to the
State Constitution which win confer upon the courts the
exclusive authority to decide the elections OF members Of
the Legislature. Our State would do we'll also in
taking the lead bring about similar change in tho

BY mutual agreement this evening Deputy At
torney- General Maynard and Judge Cody agreed
to postpone the argument before Judge Edwards
upon the DutchesS County case, which had been
set down for Troy tomorrow, TO Saturday, when
it will be argued at Hudson.
The Republicans have withdrawn their appeal
to the courts in the Of Mr.. krenrich. the Re
publican candidate for Assemblyman in Sullivan
County, who was believed to be elected
here. The effect of his withdrawal of
the case is 10 give the Assembly
to the Democratic party, the Assembly standing
now SIS Democrats TO 63 Republicans. The de-
cisions of the Democratic Judges however against
Krenrich will be of great use to the Republicans
in contesting TO action of the Board Of Super
visors of Duchess and Columbia counties.
