THE INTER " DEMoCRATIO', WAR.

The Courts Are Asked to Interfere With
the Election Board.
Two writs, one for Injunction and one
for restraint. were yesterday filed in the
County Clerks Office.
The petitioner was Henry A. Tobin, a
nominee on the ticket of the ReOrganized
Democracy" against William A. Brown
as Re gistrar of Voters and the Board of Elee-
ton Commissioners, asking that the latter
be restrained or enjoined from any action
tending to grant the so-caled 'oId Demo-
cratic party" designation for their "pre-
tended" candidates Oh the ballots for the
ensuing election.
The grounds are that the plaintiff will
suffer great and irrepara bic damage because
the pretended nominees described in the
pretended certificates are different persons
from those nominated by the Democratic
party, and person other than the plaintiff
is named in said certificate as nominee for
the Office of Justice of the Peace, for which
the plaintiff WAS nominated by the Demo-
cratic party for election at the ensuing cleo
tion."
A preliminary writ was Issued by Judge
Sanderson, returnable this morning, but he
stated this morning that his press of court
business would not allow him to hear argu-
lnent.
The attorneys will doubtless find some
other court to hear the matter.
