NOVEL POINT RAISED.
Possibility That the Delaware State
Election Was Invalid

DOVER, Del. Nov. IA question was
raised here to-day by counsel for the Dem
ocrats in the mandamus proceedings to
compel the Kent county canvassing board
to reconvene and count the vote of the
recent election, upon which may depend
not only the title of those at present hold

Of Wilmington elected since 1891. 1t has
been discovered that when the law of 1882
was repealed which law provided for what
was known in Delaware the Little -
or October elections. provision was made
for the election of assessors for each one
hundred. but not for the election of in
spectors. although the ballot law under
which the elections are now conducted
specifically states what the duties of the
inspectors shall he. IL was made the basis
of argument throughout the afternoon
after il had been decided by the court that
the sheriff in making himself party to
the writ in his returns. had not committed
a legal blunder. because he was a member
of the board of csnvassers, although not
an Inspector OF election. The infusion of
this argument into the case threw con-
sternation into the ranks OF the civil and
judicial officers of the State. and il is re-
garded as a possibility that even the cleo
ton of Governor might be invalidated. The
court announced that decision would be
rendered later.
