RRorGHToN-YoUNG CONTEST.
The Case Has Been Completed and
Will be Presented To-Day.

The taking Of depositions before Com
| missioner Maroon in the contest of
| Broughton VS.. Young for a seat in the
General Assembly for Wake county.
has been completed and the case will to-
day be presented to the Legislature
Mr.. Broughton claims to have been
elected by a majority Of 90 The official
count gave Jim Young a majority Of Is.
The recount cut this down to 2, with 6
stickers for Broughton not counted
8 from Wakefield, / each from Marks
Greek, Holly Springs and Third Ward,
scond division. In addition to this.
there was one ballot ON which it can be
plainly seen that sticker was pasted
over Jim Young's name, yet the clerk OF
court, in the recount, counted the vote for
Jim Young, though the sticker was found
in the box. It was for Broughton, but ii
was not counted This, if properly count
ed, would take one from Young given him
by the recount and add one to the vote
given Rroughton.
Thus by an actual recount Of the bal
lots Broughton has a majority of 5.
Add to this the two votes for Brough-
ton thrown out without any authority at
Swift Greek and two at Apex and he has
q iority Of .. 4nen two persons-one
at Cary and one at Rogers store-bona
fide electors, were not allowed to vote.
This runs the majority of Broughton
up to H. Add to this 9 convicts who were
proved TO have voted for Young, and
Br9ughton has a clear majority of 90,
making an actual change from the Off
cial count of 38 votes.
There are O. dozen or more other con-
victs who are known to have voted for
Jim Young but the time was too short
TO carry the case any further. If Mr.
Broughton cannot win on this, he can
win on nothing. Young has had no evi-
dence taken and will, it is understood,
rest his case upon some general charges
Of Illegal voting by students and tamper
ing with ballot boxes.

Springfield, H., JAM 1.-THE inaugur-

oped a sensation at the close of the State
house ceremonies when the retiring Gov
ernor, John p. Altgeld, was not permit
ted to deliver the farewell address which
has been one of the features of previous
inaugurations in Illinois Governor Alt
geld had prepared his speech, it has been
given place on the printed programmes
and much interest had centered in its an
ticipated delivery. The snub was made
the more painful to the Ex-Governor and
his friends from the fact that Mrs Alt
geld occupied a seat beside him on the
stage and shared in the confusion result
ing from the affair. Early in the course
of the exercises it was moved that Mr..
Altgeld be requested to address the joint
assembly present at the Inauguration
Speaker Curtis, OF the loWer House, de-
clared the motion out of order, and sub
sequently refused to recognize any Dem
ocratic member who attempted to ad-
dress the chair. The maiority OF the
members OF the joint Assembly and the
large audience did not appreciate the sig
nfcance OF this course until a motion
to adjourn carried and put On unexpected
end to the ceremonies without the retir-

RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT.
Member of Camp Jeff Davis No.
AIS, Birmingham, Ala.

Hon. James NJ. Arnold died in Birming-
nam on the 9th day of July, 1897 honored,
respected and beloved. All thu elements
of true manhood were blended in him.
In. all the relations of life he challenged
the esteem, confidence and admiration of
his contemporaries. In public aad in pri-
vate, in peace and in war ne was gent e,
yet Arm, always just but loyal to princi-
pie; in his family, tender and lovable; in
his associa ton with his fellows, noble and
manly. BY steadiness on purpose and
marked ability he won the highest hon
ors in civil life, touched the loftiest posi-
ton in his chosen profession; and, when
the trumpet blast of war swept over the
hills and valleys of his native land, his
loyal heart responded to the call. As q
confederate soldier he attained distinc-
ton, and with patriotic fidelity and holy
zeal followed tbs, smoke-stained flag as
long as it foated on the breeze. As COM
rades, we stand with bowed heads, and
drop tear upon his grave and do honor
to his memory.
l. Resolved That in the death of Jams $
M Arnold the old confederate reserve has
lost from its ranks loyal comrade. and
the country a noble and eminent citizen,
and this camp fsels a just pride in the
record left by him as a soldier, a citizen
and iurist "a
.. Resolved. That the heartfelt sympa-
thy of the comrades of this camp be ten
dered ITO his bereaved family.
g. Resolved, That in memory of our
comrade the members shall wear the
badge of mourning for thirty days.

pie and resolutions be forwarded to his
family and also furnished the city papers.
