CONTEST FOB A SEAT.

Why q Recently Chosen Alderman Must
Prove His Election.
Attorney w. ]. Bremen yesterday filed a
motion iE Quarter Sessions Court to quash
the petition for a contest in the election of
James A. McPike, Alderman of the Six
teenth ward. He alleges that all of the
persons who signed the petition are not
qualified electors; that some are not regis
tered, and that others have not paid their
taxes. Asa result the petition is not signed
by 20 qualified electors as required by law.
McPike was declared elected at the last
election. Thomas J. Chalfant was his op-
ponent, and has entered the contest for the
aldermanship. The Court granted the rule
and fixed next Saturday for hearing.

may be some difference in the character OF
the customs of the two people, but the ordi-
nary observer will fail to see much. One
seems to be every bit as absurd in the eyes
of sensible persons as the other.
