MAUDAMUS
PROCEEDINGS.
The Argument Before the Super
ior Court of Kent County.

DOVER, DEL, Nov. 2l.-Water H. Hayes
made the argument before tho court yes.
terday to quash the answer filed by the
Democrats, 1t is admitted that the rcla-
tors were voted for at the election.
Then the duty imposed upon these re.
spondents to attend board of canvass
and calculate the aggregate numbers Of
votes cast for the candidates at tho cleo.
ton. They admit that they did not can
vass the votes cast in six districts.
They say that they did not do SO for tho
reason of irregularity, the selection of
voters assistants, etc., with which they
had nothing to do.
Bribery at eectiops does not invalidate
the vote, but merely renders those particle
pating liable to fines and punishments
Thoy justify this remarkable course by an
unheard-of thing lin this state, letter
signed by tho chief law officer of the state
1t would have been bad enough had he
simply signed his name to it, but he sign
ed 1t with his title of attorney. general Of
the state
In one breath these respondents claim
that from the reading of the certificates
it did not appear that they were properly
signed, and in the next one they admit
that they did not examine them.
1t is alleged that the inspectors were
not legally elected. 1t Is n principle of law
that when an officer is de fncto officer,
invested with the insignia of office, it is
against public policy to declare an cleo
ton invalid, These men were voted for
and served as officers without objection,
The board of canvass can count only
by the certificates and they are bound to
count and tabulate all of them.
Mr.. Hayes argument lasted three hours
ana was the finest ever listened to in this
county. He was followed by Mr.. Penne-
will The argument will be concluded to-
day.

bad made with Ellis Hicks that Mr.
Bryan would be elected President. A few
Of the. friends of each party were invited
in order to give zest to the occasion, but
out of consideration for the feelings Of
Mr. Gregg the discussion Of political
questions was particularly taboed at the
request of Mr.. Hicks, as he thought 1t was
bad enough for Mr. Gregg to BIO beaten
without having the matter rubbed in.
The dinner, Mr. Hicks says, was one Of
the best he had ever partaken Of, and
much credit Is due to Mrs. Gregg and two
or three sisters who had assisted in the
culinary Department.
Among the visitors present was Mrs.
Joseph Woodward, the mother-in-law of
Mr.. Gregg, and her daughter of this city,
and although in her Goth year she enjoyed
herself highly, the only drawback being
she could not have heard the party give
one good hurrah for Mckinley. Beside
the Gregg family Mr.. John Armstrong
and his wife were present, and although
MI. Armstrong complained of feeling UNI

led to remark that he regretted that he
was not In good plight as he should liked
to have seen just how much he could have

There were many pleasant jokes indulg-
ed In and the afternoon wore so pleasant
ly away that Mr.. Hicks declared 1t was
the happiost occasion of his life, and
we suppose that the cntire number agreed
with him. Under the circumstances we
are surprised that Mr.. Gregg should net
have come squarely out for Mckinley and
