Judge Kennedy Orders Their Correction
Senatorial Re-Canvass-
The missing returns from the Third
ward were brought before Justice Ken
needy yesterday afternoon and given to the
board of canvassers to return to the in
spectors for correction. The proceedings
in the matter of the senatorial re canvass,
the most important Of the day, were be-
fore Judge O'Brien, who, it is shrewdly
suspected, was sent here more for the
purpose of hearing it than for anything
else. The application was based upon the
ground that 1,a52 votes cast for Rufus T.
Peck, Repu blican, who received his GER
tificate of election two weeks ago, were
illegal-in that they did not bear the off,
cial Endorsement required by law. Peck's
plurality on the face of the returns was
less than 400 in the district. The order
to show cause was granted and made re-
tnrpable today. John A. Nichols, the
Democratic contestant for senator, is a
member of the board of canvassers.

Missing Returns Sent In.

Against Kennedy there has not been
even the suggestion of a contest, but the
vote in his district has not been canvassed
and his object is simply to make the can
vassers do their duty. The attachment
against WEIGH was not unexpected,
though it was not issued until after the
missing returns from the Third ward had
been placed in the hands of the court.
The returns were brought here Monday
night, two hours after midnight, by At
torney John Hallock, and deposited by
him in the safe at the Vanderbilt House
Mr.. Hallock came from Albany, where
he had been attending the county clerks
trial, and it is given out that he acted in
the matter as special messenger for the
governor. The returns rema ined in the
hotel safe until late yesterday afternoon
when Justice Kennedy sent the sheriff
after them

A Doubtful Dispatch.

There is little donbt that Hallock will
be called upon judicially to answer for his
connection with them. When they were
brought into court question was raised
as TO whether they were ever in the pos
session of the governor at all, and also as
to the authenticity of the dispatch pur-
porting to have come from him with re-
gard to them and read during the proceed
ings before Justice Kennedy Monday.
Louis Marshall, counsel for the board of
canyassers, was asked to produce the dis
patch, but he refused to do so. He said
he would produce it at the proper time,
and in reply TO question from the court
as to when the proper time might be, he
answered.: "When the proceedings come
up against Supervisor WEIGH for con-
tempt" Justice Kennedy said that the
dispatch, not having been filed, was not
in his jurisdiction. IF it were," he added
Il would be swift to have it produced"
Harmony Between the Justices.
Justice Morgan J. O'Brien, who was
sent here by Governor Hill to hold an ex-
traordinary special term because Justice
Kennedy is a Republican,, met Justice
Kennedy for the first time in the court
house yesterday morning. and the intro
duction was made by United States
Judge Williams The judges immediately
established harmonious relations, and the
fact is noted with some interest that they
seem to have put themselves on very
friendly terms. Their resdective courts
were opened at the same time yesterday,
and the half hour preceding was spent by
them in consultation. In tie afternoon
they took an hours drive abopt the city
in the local Justices carriage.

LET Us REASON TOGETHER.

1t is never too early to begin to
discuss matters of Importance that
will be in issue in an approaching
campaign, and it is always better for
democrats to be thoroughly agreed
and in harmony upon the matters at
issue before they go into a conven-
lion. True it will be year yet be-
fore the campaign Of 1892 is actively
upon US, but there are little points
that will be brought up that We
should agree upon before the las,
hour Of the last day.
1t is generally agreed that ONE
question that will come up for discus
sion and decision at the next state
convention will be whether the party
shall still adhere to the time honoreC
wo-thirds rule or adopt the majority
rule.
If this matter is left undiscusseC
until the meeting of the convention
it will cause dissension and disagree
ments among the delegates which
might result IN disrnption-and thi,
>h"uld most certainly be avoided
Therefore it is W, Ii to begin the dis
cu>sion early and let the voice of tn
people settle it.
1t has been wisely suggested tina
primaries be held in the various coun

their delegates how to vote upon tn

each asked for his ruling He heard
the arguments and considered the
presidents cited by each. He is an
able lawyer and he probed deep into
the legal aspects of the case. After
careful and impartial consideration
he announced that he was of opinion
that there had been no legal election
1t then became his duty to fill the
vacancy by appointment, and in
doing this he selected a man whom
he had reason to believe would be
satisfactory to the conservative
democrats of each faction-a man
who could wipe out the dividing line
between the factions and bring them
together again as friends and
brothers.
