CARBON COUNTY's CONTEST.
The Supreme Courts Decision Against
the County Clerk.

-
the County Clerk.
CHEYENNE. WYo., Dec. 27.-The decision
In the Carbon county contest case was made
public here at noon to-day. The supreme
court decides that the etate canvassing
board must accept the Carbon county re-
turns from the two justices instead of the
abstract from the clerk alone. This gives
che democrats more members of the House
and insures them the organization of that
body. The republicans may make another
move in the Carbon county case by
taking advantage Of the fact that
tions irregularIy. The decision covers
all the points in the cases presented
to the legislature up to the present time.
The court holds that the Judge of court in
vacation can allow alternative writs of
mandamus, but not peremptory writs.
DUTY OF THE CANvAssERs.
10 holds that the state board of canvassers
must base it's determination solely upon the
face Of the returns, and the court. there
fore, strikes out of the petitions all sllega-
tions of matter not appearing upon the face
Of the returns. The court then takes up
the demurrers TO the petitions. The Wyo-
ming statute requires that county
clerk take to his assistance two
justices of the peace, ''who
shall canvass the precinct returns
and send an abstract thereof to the secre-
tary of state" The clerk and justices diff
fered as to the counting OF the precinct re-
turns, the county clerk making one abstract
and the Justices another. The court holds
that the clerk and the two justices consti-
tute board Of canvassers," and that the
two Justices being q majority of the board
| their abstract is controlling and should be
| accepted and counted by the state board.
