DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Suit Against Postmaster General
Payne Dismissed by Court.

In Circuit Court No. this morning Chief
Justice Clabaugh sustained the Postmaster
Generals demurrer to the replication of the
petitioner in the case of Sidney Sherwood
against Postmaster General Payne and dis
mbissed the petition. This was suit
brought by Sherwood as publisher of the
Live Stock Record" of Buffalo. N. Y, to
compel the Postmaster General to accept
the publication at the second class rate Of
postage.
The application had been rejected upon
the ground that 1t was primarily designed
for advertising purposes" and Sherwood in
sisted that the rejection was contrary to
the real facts and void in law. Chief JUS
tice Clabaugh held that the Postmaster
General. having the authority to determine
to what class the publication belongs and
having determined that upon the facts Of
the case as developed by an investigation,
the court could not revise his decision or
say whether the facts were enormously
found. Attorney E.. L. Giles represented
the petitioning publisher and Attorney
Henry H. Classic the Postmaster General.
