Special Despatch Evening Journal.
DOVER, Nov 25.-When court re-
convened this morning Chief Justice
Lore announced that it was the opin-
ion Of a majority of the court that the
motion to quash the alternative writ
should not prevail. He stated that the
opinion would not preclude the attor-
neys for the respondents in the case
from bringing forth the facts in their
behalf in the argument in answer 10
the writ Of alternative writ of manda-
mus.
Judge Grubb then delivered his dis
senting opinion He characterized the
opinion of Chief Justice Lore and
Judge Cullen as absurd. He dissented
on the ground that Sheriff Shaw had
improperly been made a party to the
writ. This he considered illegal and
against the precedent of the court as
laid down in the case of Knight and
Kennedy VS.. Ferris, in Sixth Houston.
He dwelt largely upon the necessity Of
the court adhering closely to its prece-
dents until it should be clearly shown
that such precedents were against the
law, for without such action neither
the court, nor the members Of the bar,
nor the suitors could tell when any
judgment had been made on point
Of law.
He considered this point clearly and
absolutely settled in the case above
cited, and therefore dissented from the
opinion Of the majority of the court.
After he had concluded George w.
Jones, in behalf of the Addicksites,
inspectors filed an answer Of compll-
ance with the alternative writ Of man
damus.
Hon. John b. Pennington, in behalf
Of the Democratic inspectors, filed
their answer of noncompliance and
the argument then proceeded.
Should the Superior Court decide
against them the Democrats will carry
the case to the Court Of Errors and
Appeals, which will not meet until
April

he said the court could make decis-
ions
Chief Justice Lore announced th,..
the court had decided nothing except
that the respondents had had suffi-
cient notice to bring them into court.
On the point. the most important
one raised. that there had been no
legally qualified inspectors of election.
Mr.. Pennington said that on April 10,
1883. the Legislature passed a law
which abolished what was then known
as the Little election. held in October
of each year of a general election for
the choice OF assessors and inspectors
and providing a scheme for their cleo
ton. with the other officers in No
vember On May a.. 1891. an amendment
to this law was passed, in which no
reference was made whatever to the
inspectors, the word having been omit
ted. There has been. therefore. since
May IA. 1891, no legal means of elect
ing inspectors of election in this state.
and the inspectors had nc legal stand
ing whatever
A stir has been created among the
politicians by the point raised i'm ex-
Congressman Penningtons argument.
The law of April 13. 1888. prescribed
a new way of electng the assessors
and inspectors i'm the state. On May
IA, 1891, an amendment was passed
striking out the section and substitute
ing new one. In the substitute, as it
appears in the law books, all reference
to the election OF inspectors is omit
ted and only the election OF assessors
Is prescribed for
If the point raised by Mr. Penning-
ton is upheld by the court some law
yers say that there has not been a
strictly legal election i'm Delaware out
side of Wilmington since 1891 II
might involve the validity of the cleo
ton of all officers of the state since
that time and also the acts of the Leg
islature
In Wilmington the inspectors are
appointed by the Department Of Elec-
tions, and the law applies only to the
rural districts. 1t is contended by some
attorneys that when a law repeating
a law is itself repealed. the original
law is restored in its full operation
unless otherwise expressly provided.
II this is true, the law previous to 1888
which provided for the selecting of in
spectors at the little elections, is still
in force and all inspectors since 1891
have been Illegally chosen, and the
elections have been illegal.
