JOE MARTINS CONTEST,
The would-be Republican Receiver Plays
the Baby Act and Files His Papers.

Joseph r. Martin, the defeated Repub-
lican candidate will contest the election
of Receiver of Taxes John 7. Dickey.
He filed the following reasons with Pro
thonotary Horty last evening:
1. Malconduct of the election officers
in unlawfully and incorrectly counting
ballots.
2. Malconduct of the election officers
in refusing to receive the votes of lawful
voters
3. Illegal votes.
Under the first charge it is alleged
that votes cast for Mr.. Martin were
counted for Dickey.
In the second charge it is alleged that
lawful votes were refused in Sufficient
numbers to defeat Mr.. Martin.
In the third charge it is alleged that
illegal votes were received in sufficient
numbers to defeat Mr. Martin and elect
Dickey.
Sheriff Gould will notify Receiver
Dickey to appear before the Superior
Court at the February term In Dem
ocratic circles the proceeding is regarded
as nothing more than post election
kick. Chairman Martin B. Burris, of
the Republican County Executive com
mittee is Martins counsel.
Speaking of the contest Chairman
Salisbury said this morning.
IF the Republicans go into the matter
of proving fraud and misconduct at
elections there viii be a large number Of
Republicans in Jail before this matter is
settled. The Democratic commit
tee did not begin taking an active
hand in having these Republican
election officials arrested because
they thought it would be better
for the interest of the community that
election day should wind up political
contests; but we are likely to take a
hand if this thing doesn't stop The
object of this agitation is to enable the
old Higgins machine in some kind of
working order until the city election.
Unless they keep up some local excite
ment the old bosses will be showed
under when the primaries are held in
the Republican party"
"What have You to say2" asked a re-
porter of Receiver Dickey
Nothing. Martin can run for it
four years from now. He can't have it
this time.

FRANCE is in political ferme mt. but
no one should hastily conclude that the
republic is in danger It has existed
now for twenty years amid many similar
crises and there is no reason to appre-
hend that it viii not resist the effects of
this crisis. II is nothing more than a
change Of administrations in this
country. II does not necessarily indi.
cate as great change as the overthrow
Of Harrison and the Mckinley party in

to change Of ministry in
Great Britain, but more suddenly
accomplished and more radical In its
effects Under the French system the

people become indignant or suspicious

amiable and good-natured apathy

people would revolt and probably in

THERE is a great deal Of humorous
curiosity as to the result of the contro-
versy between Washington Hastings
and the Federal authorities concerning
that inferior iron alleged to have been
delivered to the naval department OF
the several ways in which the dispute
might have been settled, the public is
still in doubt. Mr.. Hastings modestly
considers the interesting contract "a
purely private affair" but he forgets
that the public feels the same solicitude
for his welfare that he feels in the public
welfare. There is a mutual interest and
counter attractiveness which neither one
can overcome. and which induces him to
tnke a paternal supervision over the
people, and encourage the people to look
upon him with reverence and af.
fection for father.in-law wis.
dom not obtainable elsewhere. There
are several ways in which that
iron dispute may have been settled or
adjusted. The inspector may have been
requested by my friend, President
Harrison, 20 revise his inspection aud
make a new report; he may have been
removed; another inspector may have
been detailed TO inspect right; there
may have been some inducement or in.
huence exerted to convince the in
spector that he had made a powerfully
erroneous and disloyal inspection and
hurt the feelings of Mr. Hastings so
cruelty that he has begged to reinspect the
iron, himself, and inspect it right The
public has an infinite degree Of humor.
Gus curiosity in the result, and we hope
that the announcement of the settle
ment will be made, as soon as practic.
able, because we feel assured that the
controversy will be settled. and settled
