NATION ON THE SUBJECT.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1O.-senator
Mitchell of Oregon, chairman OF the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
and who made the report in favor of
seating Henry A. DUPONT as senator
from Delaware, said TO a correspondent
yesterday that he had not yet been in
formed concerning further efforts on
the part of the Delaware senator's
friends to bring that case again before
the Senate. Il is alleged that several
important points were overlooked dur
ing the contest for the seat in the last
session.
The Delaware senator's friends re-
gard these points as very important,
and IL is well understood they are now
engaged in preparing papers which
will be presented TO the Senate at an
early day, requesting another hearing
Senator Mitchell said that if there was
any additional evidence bearing on the
case it would be referred to the COM
mittee and there carefully considered.
The defeat of DUPONT was due
To a strict party vote. the Republicans
Just lacking one of a sufficient number
to give him his seat to which he laid
claim.
Senator Gray to-day. in alluding to
the Delaware ease. said he did not see
what additional evidence could be OBJ
tanned In fact, he said, there was no
evidence in the case. IL was simply
a question of the construction of the
| Constitution of the State of Delaware
as 10 whether a state senator having
assumed the functions of governor
/ had a right to resume his functions as
senator. He and his associates in the
| Senate here and the Democrats in the
! State of Delaware claimed that he had
/ the right majority of the senators
/ by their votes affirmed that right al
| the last session which settled the
] question. or. as the lawyers say, il is
! res adjudicata. There is little ground
/ for the hope that il even a rehearing
should be had that the result would
be any different at this session.
The suggestion has been thrown out
that the matter be unacted upon at
this session. and that it be brought
up again in the next Congress. when
It is believed that the Republicans
/ having a majority, viii hold that Du-
! Pont was regularly elected and will
seat him. instead of the Democrat who
may be elected by the Legislature OF
| Delaware this Winter, they now having
full control Of both branches of It
| Precedents in the Senate, Senator
| Gray says, are all against a rehearing
/ This point has been decided on sew
eral occasions, but never in a case ex-
actly like this, when the seat is still
vacant, and where the committee re-
port was in favor of seating the man
whom the Senate refused to receive.
