(On application for rehearing)
On petition for re-hearing, in addition to a challenge of the correctness of the Court’s decision as to some of the disputed ballots above recited, it is alleged that relator has lately discovered that his counsel were mistaken when they stipulated with opposing counsel at the bar of this Court that the Court should assume that Morton had 3745 votes and Lambert 3733 votes, exclusive of the 210 ballots that were presented to the Court for determination; that as a matter of fact, exclusive of said 210 ballots, Morton had 3744 votes and Lambert 3733. In a memorandum in opposition to a re-hearing, it is urged on behalf of respondent that there was no mistake; that the said stipulated totals are correct.
As to the contested ballots we adhere to the opinion and decision as in conformity with settled rules of this jurisdiction, and deem that the relator has pointed out nothing in the decision to indicate that there should be a re-hearing of the case. Nor are we of opinion that the alleged mistake in the Morton total (exclusive of the 210 ballots) affords basis for re-hearing. If, in fact, the said total is as relator now claims, his rights thereon must be otherwise asserted.
