posted notices that they viii apply
to the next term OF tho court for
license. tho claim being that the cleo
ton was void because the votes were
not properly canvassed two days nf-
ter tho election, ms the law requires.
Tho Impression prevails among tho
lawyers that the election cannot be
set aside and that tho will OF the peo-
plc Will be carried out for the next
two years.

or the election has not been materials
~ injured as tho result OF the local

has decided it to negro, and this
