The Court Of Errors and Appeals
Decides Unanimously in Favor
OF the Democrats OF Kent
County. The Decision of the
Upper Court Reversed. DISCUS
ted Republicans.
DOVER, DEL, Jan. 4--The Republicans
OF Kent county are justly indignant at
the decision Of the Court of Errors and
Appeals, which decision was made public
this morning shortly after 10 O'Clock,
Judge Grub read a unanimous de-
cision unfolding his views in the Superior
Court on the Kent County Mandamus
proceedings, Application was made for
another session of Superior Court to ibe
held to compel Baxter of West Dover hui
dred to sign the election returns and the
board to meet and canvass same.
w The decision has no effect on the organ
ization of the Senate; all depends upon the
action Of Senator Pierce.
The decision gives Kent county Demo.
cratic sheriff and all other offices in tho
county will be filled by Democrats.
The decision was no surprise to the
Democrats, who all along predicted u
unanimous finding OF the court. 1t os-
tablishes dangerous precedent and one
which the Democrats will live to regret.
