three have been favored with
favorable responses, and these
are Philadelphia, Wilmington,

rendered a decision in the cons
tested election cases of Greene

ion he holds that the Fuisionlsts
having the certificates of election
and by these therefore the prlma
facie title to the Offices, they are
entitled to hold and exercise the
duties of their respective offices
until a decision against them in
an action of quo warranto. AS a
fact. he finds that the Democratic
officers. received a majority OF
| the votes cast, as shown by the
recount ordered by Judge Robin
son. But he holds that the ret
count was void and gave them no
color Of title to the Offices. He
has therefore issued a peremp-
tory mandamus restraining the
present Democratic officers from
exercising the duties Of then
offices, in direct opposition to the
act of the Legislature, forbiddine
any Judge from issuing an in'
junction in any civil action which
involves the title to an Office dur
ing the pending of the action.
The case has been appealed tt
the Supreme court, and will COM
up at the fall term. Meanwhile
the Democrats continue to hol'
their Offices.

ceived a letter from the Post

NAVAL VETERANS.
spanish War Causes Split In
tn Association.

Philadelphia, Sept. There were
lively times Mt yesterdays session Of
the fourteenth annual convention of
the National Association OF Naval Vet
Grams. A resolution providing for the
admission of participants in the Span
ish war to membership in the associa-
ton started rumpus and the result
was that there is now 4 split in the or
ganization. At the convention held in
Cincinnati last September the resolu-
ton above mentioned was introduced
and under the rules was laid over until
this year. There was much discussion
among the members as to the advisa-
bility of admitting the Spanish war
veterans and when the resolution came
before the association everybody was
ready to fight for or against II. A
number Of speeches were made and the
vote on the resolution was overwhelm-
ingly against admitting the men of the
late war.
When the result was announced the
Farragut delegates from New York
and the delegates from the Admiral
Boggs association, OF Newark, N. j.,
walked out in body. 1t is their in
tention to start an opposition associa-
ton TO be known MS the United States
Veteran Navy and headquarters will
probably be in New York city. The
boilers claim that they will get nearly
200 members from the Naval Veterans
association and will admit to member
ship all those who were in the navy
during the Spanish war.
