The E.ectio, Contest.

Yesterday TIE Senate Of Nevada {
was occupied with hearing evidence |
in the case of Ernst VS.. Williams. the |
former claiming the seat In the upper
body of the Legislature on fraud and
irregularities at the election held in
Churchill county The evidence Offer
ed was in the form of dispositions
made by different men of the coun-
~, voters and officials. and while they
showed a few Irregularities. it seems
that the basis of the contest is mere
ly technical
Mr.. Williams won the seat by
majority of thirteen votes. the high
est majority fer a State Senator CIV
en- any candidate in many years. II
the purpose of the voters was to give
MIR. Williams the seat in the upper
house, as seems to be the indications
by the votes received, then it seems
to be a clear matte: OF justice that
Mr.. Williams retain the position that
the certificate Of election calls for.
Tie fact that Mr. Williams received
majority in his own county over Mr..
Ernst. who was practically new COM
er in the county. was to be expected.
as Mr.. Williams has formerly repre-
sented Churchill county and his per-
sonaI interests naturally bring him a
following that a new conner could not
expect.
i The evidence that was introduced
4 at yesterdays session did not show
any grave fraud or any serious viola
l,tions of the election laws. 1t did show
tthat Mr. Williams received the major
.ity of the votes cast and that Mr.
Ernst is fighting an uphill battle.
