Tho Democratic County Executive
Committee have got a bigger thing on
hand than they thought they he'd In
| the contested election case between
| Michael Newell and John J. Mealey, as
to which received the nomination for
Levy Courtman from the Third Dis
| trict.
1t was expected that tho case would
have been investigated yesterday af-
| ternoon, but it was found that the
| committee had not time. and SO 1t was
postponed until Friday morning. MIR.
mealey in his notice of contest only
charges fraud In the election in the
| Eleventh ward.
William T.Lynam and Peter L. Coop
er Esqs., have been retained by MIR.
Mealey, and l.. G. yandegrift and John
blggs, E5qs., for Mr.. Newell. The lat
ters majority was only7.
IN the Eleventh ward 4Si votes were
cast, while at tho State election In 1890
me whole vote OF all parties, with O
| lull vote polled, was only 384.
Newell claims that the increnseint the
vote over 1890 is due to the factthat
apout 100 Poles were naturalized and
| voted for the first time on Saturday.
! to which Mealey's friends reply that
the entire number of Poles naturalized
since the last election may he counted
| on the fingers Of one hand, as the
court records will show, and all natur-
| allied are not Democrats.
There was report on the streets
yesterday, afternoon that Che votes
cast in the Eleventh ward were an
right, but the ballot hox was ..nxedp
after II was taken from the polls.
In ileu OF not entering into hear-
ing oil the casa yesterday AFTERNOON.
the committee decided that eaeh sida
| should present Its sworn evidence to
the chairman of the Committee, vii.
lard salisbury, Esq. and he was In
structed to see that each side saw the
documents OF the other side SO that
all could understand the case and
argue to The point
Another disturbing element is loom
ing up in the contest. VIM. Il. kurtz
has given notice that II the returns Of
| the Third ward are thrown ont he will
| contest the nomination of j. Harvey
/ Spruance for tho Legislature. This
ward gives Kurtz 223 votes and
| Spruance 433 votes, while it gave New

making total OF s55 votes for COM
missioner, while the total for the Legis-
lature was only Cos votes.
| 1t is commended that the 200 votes
difference vera fraudulent. The COM
mittee at any rate Is In complicated
| dilemma, from which they SEQ no way
OF escape by keeping the party intact.
No matter whether Newell or Mealey
Is declared nominated the other eide
| will cut him, and this, taken with the
TACT that Mr.. Murray's friends feel
sore over his defeat. and that the
| friends of Dir. llertel will vote almost
| IN body for Charles Yett"r, who Will
be the Republican candidate, many
Democrats feel that tile district
is about to slip from their grip.

Tho Democrats have been accusing
the Republicans of wild and wicked ex-
travagance, and have been promising a
tremendous reform in the way of re-
duced expenditure. But instead of be-
ing reduced the expenditures have been
2rodigiously increased. 1t follows there
fore that the Democrats are frauds and
humbugs, because one of two PROPOSE
lions must be true-viz
First-If the Republicans Of tho Fifty
first congress were extravagant, the
Democrats Of the Fifty-second congress
have been more SO.
