Counsel--Both sides agree TO Truce
Until Tuesday Morning.
The Republican members Of the Lew
Court are very badly frightened: nor Is
the fear confined to them. Bach, Mahsffy
& Co., have begu4 to realize that six

they have the backbone to stand up for
IL They have discovered that the Levy
Court is tie when the chancellor takes
a hand in the fight.
BRADFORD WANTED TINE.
Il was conceded on both sides at the
Court House that the chancellor had not
allowed Mr. Bradford much time In

Wednesday evening. the Levy Court was
officially notified yesterday morning, At

probably more than any lawyer In the
state could do and do satisfactorily 20
himself and his clients.

The Republicans recognized that for
their attorney to 60 into chAncery in that
shape could only end In ignomlnous de.
feat Therefore they asked for time.
Hon. Thomas +. Bayard aud Hon.
Charles B. Lore were consulted. Wishing
TO do the proper thing and give their
opponent ample opportunity to prepare
himself. they inquired when he would he
ready. BE replied that he thought he
could be ready by Saturday morning at
IL oclook. The Democratic un-
sci agreed to this. Victor B.
Woolley, on behalf OF Messrs. Baysrd aud
Lore telegraphed TO Chancellor sauls
bury last night to that effect The ar
rangment did not exactly suit the con
venlenee Of Chancellor salisbury and h d.
6xed the time for Tuesday morning at
IL o'clock. This arrangement suited
Mr.. Bedford even better.

by Bach, Mahafy & Co
