THE caves AND LAMBERT CONTEST.
1t Was Not Decided on the Same Ground as the
Pearson Crawford Contest

To the Editor: | notice i'm the
News and Observer today a letter
from Hon. j. Frank Ray relative to
the Pearson and the caves and Lam
bert contests. and | wish to add that
the Senate Committee to which the
Eayes and Lambert contest was re-
ferred was composed, with one eNcep-
ton. of able and conscientious law
yers. and that the only question de-
cided by them was purely Il legal one
They simply decided in conformity
with decisions of the courts that GER
tain votes cast were illegal. Messrs
Souther and Kerry were given a
month in which to adduce evidence
i'm rebuttal and show similar illegal
votes. All the Illegal votes they pro
duced were counted and placed tc
their credit: all the Illegal votes Eaves
and Lambert could demonstrate were
counted and placed TO their credit
The balance when struck was in favor
of caves and Lambert That is al
there was in that contest-simply the
decision Of cold question of law
Not 4 box in the district was thrown
out. Notwithstanding the gross irreg'
ularities in Mitchell.
The report Of the committee which
seated Pearson elects Eaves and Lam
bert by about 400.
The Gazette and other Republican
organs are trying, as an excuse tol
Pearson. to create the impression that
the two contests were decided upon
the same grounds. They were not
