Decision Against Him in
Kent 4 Stanley Case.
Appellate Court SuStainS
Defendants Demurrer.
Time Limit For the Return of Stock
Declared to Be Binding.

In the case Of Arthur W. Cabot against
Edwin I. Kent and Others, Chief Justice
Matteson handed down an opinion today
in which the demurrer of the defendants
is sustained. An abstract of the opinion
relative TO the element of time in con-
tract to purchase stock Is as follows:
This Is an assumpsit on "A guaranty in
writing which reads as follows: PROV
idence, RI, February g. 1894 Arthur
w. Cabot ESQ, Dear Sir-ln consider:
alton OF your taking stock (iiity shares OF
one hundred dollars par value CASH and
entering the employ and service of the
Kent and Stanley Co, we do htr5by
guarantee you not less than six per cent
per annuu interest or dividends upon
your investment for the present year and
Also tn tnke back said steek and pay par
therefor upon January ], 1895. should
you so elect:
Arthur w. Stanley, Edwin Kent"
The plaintiff has acknowledged satis-
faction of the amount due for interest or
dividencs as provided on tho guaranty.
The declaration AYERS that tie date Ian
uary i, 1888, was not inserted in the
guaranty as an arbitrary date on which
the plaintiff was TO make an election, nor
was IL intended TO he. nor was Ii OF the
essence Of the contract, but It was used as
n data anout when tho books of the com
Jany would be balanced and the condition
OF the company ascertained. so that the
plaintiff would have some bases for his
election when made. and that on January
], ISy5 tho plaintiff was unable TO ascer-
tain the condition OF the com uany, and
that rs soon thereafter as he did learn of
it's condition he rendered the stock to the
defendants and demanded of them the
amount of the par value thereof. To wit,
five thousand dollars.
Tho defendants have demurred to the
declaration: First. because 1t appears by
1t that the plaintiff did not elect 10 return
tho stock prior to January /, 1895. and
second, because time was of the essence
of the contract declared in.
The obligation assumed by the defend
ants in reference TO the stock was To take
1t back on January J, 1925, II the plaintiff
elected to have them do so. 1t was
analogous TO an offer OH the part of the
defendant TO purchase tho stock on the
d. to named If the plaintiff wished TO sell
il to them at TINT time. In order to bind
the defendants 1t was necessary TO make
known his election before the date limited
for the purchase expired.
There Is also rescript from the chief
justice in the similar case of Henry w.
Cabot against Edwin i. Kent ana others
in which the demurrer Is also sustained.

Reason For Congratulations.
The people Of this country are TO be congrat-
pated upon the fact that during these trying
times we have Republican president at
Washington; a man of lofty character and
rugged patriotism; a man pure in life sin
cere in purpose and with convictions Of honor
that are as stable and unhinchng as the gran
ite hills As we are proud of the party of
Lincoln, Of Grant, of Garfield ana Of Blaine
so are we proud OF the party of William Nc
Kinley. The question is often asked by our
political adyersaries. What has President
Mckinley done2" We answer that he has
unfurled the Stars and Stripes upon the island
of Hawaii BY that act he will reclaim our
country territory and our nations honor.
he has gone into the Southland and taught
the gospel Of enduring peace and Christian
fellowship. He has TebulSed the pessimisf,
and, in the place of his discordant wall OF de.
spair, has proclaimed the Joyous message of
brighter days and better times He has made
il possible TO pass Republican tariff law
when his party was in the minority, which,
indeed, is an accomplishment almost un-
known in American politics. He mas done
even more. He has taught our people that
our president is one Of us, and for Us. That
there should be no insurmountabe wall be-
tween our chief ruler and his subjects, and il
may be said that each official act of our new
president brings him in closer touch with the
American people, who have learned to admire
and love him.
