NEWARK, June 6.--The topic of CONVEX
sation among tine college students for the
past week has been the annual election Of
the board Of editors and managers of the
i DeldnGrf Eoitge RtgisW. which was held
yesterday; and the amount Of Seheming
aud wre-pulliug that has been done,
would do full credit 10 o Kent county po-
litiGal convention For several weeks
there have been two distinct tickets in the
field, each Of which has had its firm and
enthusiastic supporters through thick and
| thin The meeting of the association was
called at 30 o'clock with u. T.. Arm
strong in the chair. When the election
was called mp ii was found that interest
had reached such a high pitch that the
workers for each ticket had actually bought
1 UP voting proxies, much as the political
parties III the state have purchased and
used blank tax receipts 10 elect their
tickets The constitution gives every share
holder in the association one vote, but
strangely enough makes no provision for
voting by proxy or the transfer OF shares.
Both of these points are many times
called into question, and the meeting
which was four hours long was one long
WranBle from beginning to end. The
election was carried on III the most strictly
parliamentary manner, and legal points
If such nicely were brought III that u
corporation lawyer would have been put
% his wits end to unravel and decide
them. Knots Of students have since been
seen all over town with their heads together
vigorously discussing the outcome and It
will be a surprise to the town people ii

ment abaies. The ticket finally elected is
