mire, and that her people sit in saci
cloth and ashes.
Of course the Democratic members
paid no attention to the protest of Mr..
Josselyn. The accepted returns, which
show on their face. the election OF
Hicks and Howe, the Democratic candi
dates opposed to Messrs. Kent and LIE
favor. In spite of the mandamus pro.
ceedings, these two Democrats have theil
certificates. The sheriff served the
mandamus on Clerk Charles Collins
Wednesday evening within minute OF
two of the declaring of the vote; but
even before that in some way the clerk
had managed to get the certificates to
the two Democrats. This will probably
enable them to claim seats, and seems to
ensure that there viii be two common
councils, Republican and Democratic
one. Yesterday, however, Judge Walton
assured the counsel before him that If
Hicks and Howe were seated the acts of
the city council would be tainted with
illegality, and that the finances OF the
city would be imperilled.
At II O'Clock the proceedings began
In tho Supreme Court
on the writ of mandamus to compel
Clerk Collins to issue certificates to
Messrs. Kent and Lefavor. These pro-
ceedings were highly interesting and at
tracted large crowd Of promincnt citi-
zens. Mr.. Baxter attended, and sat with
in the bar of the court, not far from the
lawyers. There was some curiosity to
know what lawyers had been retained to
manage the case Of the counters-out. It
was soon known whom Colonel A. W.
Bradbury appeared leading in S. G.
Strout, NJ. p. Frank and W. H. Clifford.
They were to represent the Democratic
side. During the forenoon Mr.. Strout
did most of the work.
For the petitioners the counsel were
Hon. J. Il. Drummond, Hon. Charles F.
Libby, Seth L. Larrabee, ESQ.,, and A..
w. Coombs, ESQ.,, Frank Robinson ESQ.,,
and W. E. Ulmer, ESQ.
In beginning the case Mr.. strout said
the matter hsd first been placed in his
hands last evening and he had not had
time to make preparation, while the other
sida were we'll prepared. He therefore
asked for postponement.
Mr.. Drummond said ordinarily he did
not object to any time for preparation
that counsel desired, but this is a case in
which Immediate action is necessary. He
thought that the matter was simple and
there should be very little delay.
Mr.. Strout said among other things that
he did not desire . "snap Judgment"
'.I'll take care that you do not have a
snap Judgment" remarked the court,
at which smile went over the room and
Mr.. Strout gracefully explained that he
did not intend the bearing of his remark
to apply 10 the court
The court decided to make what pro-
gress he could this morning.
The petition was read by Mr.. Drum
mond.
The court called for copy Of the rec
ord Of the election and it was furnished
him as follows:

At an adjournment of that meeting ma
jority was thrown for the two other
officers and a certificate was duly issued
to them of their election. Now for want
of further time to examine the law and
notwithstanding the intimation Of the.
court, we think we must lot the plaintiffs
make out their case. There were blank
ballots returned but it does not appear
that they were counted in determining
who received the requisite number Of
votes. On the contrary, fair interpret-
alton of the return would indicate that
the blank ballots were not counted. So
that neither Of these petitioners received
majority Of the ballots cast on Monday.
Judge Walton-"I think the record
shows that they did receive majority
of all the voteB east for councilman on
the face Of the record. You do not dis
criminate always between votes and bal
lots. There were tventy-four pieces Of
paper that were net votes. Now you
may take the most favorable view Of
these returns possible and you viii find
that these petitioners had more votes
than all their ceponents. do not in
tend to divide the whole number Of bal
lots: that Is not what the law requires
1t Is the votes cast for the candidates
and not the blanks"

the Republican members OF the legisIa-
ture has been called for tomorrow night
to select candidate for United States
senator to succeed Cushman K. Davis.

is no question as to the result, as there
is practically no opposition to Davis re-

doubtedly decide in his favor by accla-
nation.
The legislature met at noon and or
ganized. w. E. Leech was chosen
speaker of the house; S. A. johnson.

year combination of Democrats and
Alliance men organized the senate.
This year the Republicans secured the
adherence of three Alliance men. for

whom the power to appoint committees

TIE SENATORIAL FIGHT.

Lloyd Tevis to Be Entered in the Race.
Popuiist Gators Plan.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 3.--The Post's
Sacramento special says: A story gained
circulation this morning to the effect
that Lloyd Tevis is to be introduced into
the senatorial fight. The story was
started by members OF the third house
who came up rom San Francisco last
night. There ia no doubt that large
number of Democratic legislators would
welcome such an addition to the list of
senatorial candidates. They would like
TO see money introduced in the fight,
and while they will go into their party
caucus and abide by Its decision, they
hope to see the Peoples party
representatives vote az unit
and thereby prevent the cleo
tion OF senator. According to the
plans of those who hope to get Tevis
into the contest, bis name will not be
mentioned until it becomes apparent
that White cannot secure votes enough
to elect. The banker will then be
put forward as dark horse. 7. V.
Gator. the Populists' choice for senator,
has a well defined plan by which he ex-
poets to be elected. He is an old time
Republican, and is working on the
members of that party to combine with
The Populists and elect him. Steve
White appears trifle agitated. He
realizes that a strong movement ia on
foot to defeat him. He has declared
that he has no railroad ties and ia op-
posed to corporations.

NEW YoRK, Jan. 3.--An interview
with Col. Daniel Lamont regarding
President-elect Cleveland's movements
in politics illappear inthe Herald to-
morrow. 1t is as follows:
"What foundation ls there for the
published report that Mr.. Cleveland is
interfering in the senatorial contest in
various state legislatures, and endeavor-
ing to- dictate the election of his own
friends?"
cit is time" answered Colonel La.
montd tdtthat the friends of Mr.. Cleve.
land take some notice of this
falseIood. It 10 falsehood
and was started with malice. I
can state authoritatively that Cleveland
has not dictated, interfered, or even
suggested the election Of any one in
states in which there are Democratic
Legislatures and where contests are be-
ing made. One of the objects of the
charge, l presume. may have been to
locate the force of the public objection
which Mr.. Cleveland made to the cleo
tion OF Mr.. Murphy from this state. The
impression sought to be conveyed was
that he was endeavoring to dictate the
personnel of the senate.''
HAS Mr.. Cleveland expressed him
self about these reports?"
HE has most emphatically. It was
reported that Cleveland was in favor of
the election of Mr.. Foote in California,
as against Stephen M. White, because
Mr.. Foote was a relative of one of Mr..
Cleveland's friends. The report is not
true, and Mr.. Foote'S withdrawal
quickly followed the publication of the
charge. Mr.. Cleveland is annoyed by in
quiriee as TO whether he ia doing
this thing. I receive many letters ask
ing ii these reports are true. / may say
in many states Mr.. Cleveland does not
know who the candidates for the senate
are, except through general report. In
New York Mr.. Cleveland states his OBJ
lection to Mr.. Murphy, as he has per-
feet right TO do, but he has not gone be-
yond llia owMAsaten .
Colonel Lamont was asked if he would
tell Mr.. Cleveland's attitude toward
those who might be looked upon as
having been anti Cleveland men. He
shook his head at first, and then aeked
as to the truth of the story which is
a6oat in political circles to the effect
that prominent anti-Cleveland Demo
crat from up the state called On Colonel
Lamont and asked him about the treat
ment the men who opposed Mr.. Cleve-
land would receive, to which Colonel
Lamont replied that he did not
care 10 speak of the matter, but he
could say Mr.. Cleveland would certainly
not forget the men who were in favor OF
him. AS the story was repeated Colonel
lamont emiled. That's true," said he
: said it, and it represents Mr.. Cleve-
lands position"
us there anything further to be said
about his attitude?" was asked.
Il think" replied the man who is
nearer to the president-elect than any
other, that is all; isn't it enough?"
Los Angeles herald., 1893-01-04

Mr.. Carter said SIN my own state the
result is still doubtful, but with the
chances in favor Of the Demo.
Gratis. In Wyoming the Democrats and
Populists together, have control of the
lower branch of the legislature, and
there are two contested cases which. I
suppose, will be decided against :he
Republicans, thus securing a majority
on joint ballot, which will probably be
used to elect Democratic senator. In
California the Legislature is against us.
In Kansas and Nebraska there is a
chance that we will be able to elect our
candidates. but there is considerable
doubt about it "

BLAINE's CONDITION.
The Distinguished Patient Suffers
Slight Relapse.

The Distinguished Patient Suffers a
Slight Relapse.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.-Blaine's condi-
tion has taken backward turn. but the
change is probably not of character to
excite serious apprehension. The pa
tisnt has been suffering from constipa.
tion the past two days.
The report that Blaine has suffered
another relapse and that his condition
has assumed an alarming aepect, is not
sustained by inquiries. On account of
his peculiar organic disease, Blaine in
his present weak condition is euscepti-
BILE to the slightest change in the
weather, while various changes have q
depressing effect upon his spirits, but
THESE spells are OF short duration.
Blaine, it is said, appeared unusually
bright this morning and showed espec-
ial interest III the doings of the members
of the family. The family share the
belief OF DIR. Johnston that the 4x-secre-
tary will maintain the steady improve
ment noted in his condition during the
past week.

DEMOCRATS JUBILANT.
The Democrats are jubilant over the
fact that Burke, Non-Partiean, of San
Francisco, went into the Democratic
caucus last night, as they take that as
an indication that he will stand with
them on the senatorial fight. They also
claim that Carlson, the independent
candidate, will vote for White. which
greatly strengthens that gentleman's
position.
