POTTSVILLE LETTER.
The l.Mill-Dllllll Contest Colli! Mill III
Session Other Nous.
l'oTTSvit.l.K, July 2.
After tho examination of I'rothonotary
Deegan yesterday afternoon .Mr. Uerger read
the testimony of Anthony Iloyle, Judge of
r.lei tlon at llnneyhrook, which stated that
the voting check lists and ballot check lists
were In the ballot box, put there by mistake
Wheioupim court ordered that the Honey
brook ballot box bo brought into court and
opened. Mr. Schalck excepted to this order
and was given an exception hy tlio court.
I'rothonntary Deegan then opened the box
and the neceswry lists wore found. These
were turned over to the l'rothonolary, to
gether with an allldavit uT voters.
The next box called to ho opened was tho
Third wind of Mliiersville, but as tho Judgo
of lilcctlon of that district was not present,
tho ballot box of tho Thiid ward of Shenan
doah was next called. Judgo of Flection
Monroe If. Keillor was called and sworn. Ho
identified the box as the one ho had sealed up
tho night of tho election. Counsel for
contestants moved that It bo opened and it
was so ordcud, respondents being allowed an
cxicptiou. Tho same lists were found in tho
box and were turned over to Mr. Deegan.
All this timo over eighty witnesses from
lloncyhiook were seated in the court room
wondering why they had been subpoenaed
and they began to get restless. They had
come down with tho intention of being called
to testify how they voted at the
election, but tho whole day's session was
taken up by argument of counsel to open tho
ballot boxes. When told hy the court that
they must bo present to-day to testify one of
their number adduced the Court in a
stralghtforwaid manner, saying that they
had worked hut thirty days in tho last threo
months and wcro nut ablo to stand the
expense, that nino out of ten had to borrow
money to conio down and it would bo im
possible fur them to bo present. After talking
over tho matter with counsilon both sides, it
was agiced that the witnesses ho paid at the
end of each day's session. Kach sido should
keep a list of witnesses examined and only
summon those who are absolutely necossaay
and make allldavit of tliclrattondanco. Court
fixed the hour of session which is to open at
10a. m. and continue until 4 p. in, with an
hour for lunch.
When court opened this morning Judgo
Ikcler announced that to-morrow morning
tho session would ho hold at U a. in. to con
tinue until noon, and that thoio would bo
no session next week as intended, hut an ad
journment would be taken until tho middle
of August.
The sanio witnesses who were summoned
yeslei day were on hand to-day ami comfort
ably filled court room No. 1. Mr. While
hotiso ollcred tho following motion: Counsel
for petitioners having stated at tho present
meeting, in open court, in the presence of tlio
threo Judges, that they did not know of a
singlo volcr or the namo of a biuglo voter
from cither of tho two district, tho First
ward of Shenandoah and First ward of Maha
noy City, ro-pectlvcly, I ask that theno two
counts or that all counts iu tho petition in
lefciencoto thoso two districts, bo stricken
out, to which Mr. lleiger leplied that there
is not on record tho name of a single voter in
the above named districts.
Court iciidereii the fullowing opinion to
the motion: Now, July 2nd, 1VJ0, motion is
overruled for tho reason that tho counsel for
the petitioners, in making the statement, had
reference to tho fact that they did not havo
access to tho olllcial records, to wit: tho voters
check list and registration list of voters, or
ballot check list and allldavlts of uon-icgister
oters, said lists being locked and scaled in
tlio ballot boxes by the several election
hoards instead of being returned and filed in
tlio olili e of the I'lothouotary and County
Commissioners, as the law reiiuiies.
1'rothouotary Deegan then took tho stand
audattlio rcijucst of Mr. Ilreckons opened
tho returns from Kline town-hip, Honey
brook district, and .Mr. llieckous oll'eied the
contents in evidence iu exhibits as follows :
(1) J'oll bool; with the number and list uf
voters of Honeyhrook district; 12) duplicate
election ictunia from samo district; (H) tally
sheet of voters of same district; (I) ballot
check list and voting check list. To all of
which counsel for respondent objected to and
were overruled by the court, who noted ex
ceptions for the lespondent.
Tho fourth exhibit was oll'eied for the
purpose of showing whether tho voters who
voted at the November election in Klino
township iu lfe!i3 wcro duly registered.
Mr. Schalck objected to this and prepared
his objection in writing. At this point Mr.
Ulrich, for the County Commissioners, asked
to oiler a suggestion iu regard to witness fees.
lie asked that court make an oiler empower
ing the Commissioners to employ the docket
clerk of criminal couit to tiiko tho timo of
tho witnesses, which will save considerable
oxpcu-.o and labor to tho county and Its
ollicers. Court granted an order to ho made.
At 11:30 a. in. counsel for respondent were
stating their objections, to oil'ering in evid
ence any papers from tlio Honeyhrook dis
trict. And so far no witnesses havo. been
called from Klino township.
When tho court reconvened this aftoruoon
at 1:13 Judgo Craig announced that Judgo
Ikeler was called to his homo by telegram.
.Mr. Schalck objected to proceeding further,
us matters of vital importance were to bo
argued and lie desired a full lieuch. It was
finally agreed to adjourn this lino of tlio
easo until Monday, next. I hero will, con
sequently, ho no session to-morrow and on
motion of Mr. Ilreckons, all witnesses
subpoenaed to day are excused until
Tuesday, at 10 a. m. Tins timo is
set for tlio reason that argument
hy counsel as to whether or not tho
voting check list and registry list shall be
iidmlttcd will occupy the wholo of Monday's
session anil it would be unjust to summon
witnesses when there would be no likelihood
of their lielug called to the stand.
Tho matter of the opening of the ballot
boof the First ward of Shenandoah brought
l'rothunotary Deegan and Deputy Will Lcib
to tho stand. They testified that when tho
envelope was opened in court the check and
voting lists were inilng.
Martin Mullahy, Judgo of Flection of tho
First ward, was called and sworn. Ho said
he had filled the otllcc since) 1WU and never
had a key to tho lullot box ; that the voting
check list was iu the envelope when ho
delivered the box to tho l'rotliouotary. As
they had no key to tho box they fastened it
with nails.
When the witness camo to show where the
nails were driven he discovered that tho box
on exhibition was not the nuo ho had sealed.
This further complicated matters and Mullahy
was allowed to stand asido.
At 3 p. m. the witness was being examined
hy Mr. Ilreckons and it U Intended that the
boxes of the 1th and fith wards of Shenandoah
will ho opened iu their turn after Mullahy is
through. Tho cuutest is proceeding very
slowly.

mltteo wore not disposed to take so san
guine ti view of the situation, and at least
one of them expressed the opinion that It
was tho purpose of the national committee
to attempt to foist it gold man upon tho
convention for temporary chairman.
This brought out some very vigorous
speeches, nil very much In tho sanio lino
and all evincing n determination to havo
the temporary chairman at whatever cost.
Senator-elect Moliev. of MlssUslnnl nc
ono of tho most outspoken of tho speakers
He took the position that the selection of
a temporary chairman should not bo left
to the national committee at all, but that
tho silver dologates should demand tho
light to name tho chairman. Others ad
vised a moro conservative course, ana It
was finally decided to lcavo tho matter n
tho committee had presented It, agreeing
to accept any silver delegate of recognized
standing who might bo chosen by tlio na
tional LVmocratlo committee in caso such
should bo scfrctod. Thoro was no abate
ment, however, In tho demand for a silver
presiding olllcor, tho delegates agreeing
that they did not proposo to allow a gold
man to bo put up to mako tho opening
speech, and llavo this speech sont broad
cast over tho country ns tho first expres
sion of tho Democratic convention.
Iho plan of proceeding of tho silver men
incasoof tho selection of a gold standard
advocate) hy tho committee was developed
during tho course of tho meeting. They
consider that about ono-thlrd tlio members
of tho national committee aro sllvor men.
In tho event indicated theso members will
present a minority report, naming tho
choico of tho silver men for presiding of
ficer, whereupon tho controversy will bo
brought to an issuo upon tlio Iloor of the
convention.
It was generally conceded that nnder
tho precedents thero could bo no inter
ference with tho national committee in
preparing the temporary roll of tho con
vention. This decision will leave to tho
national committee tho duty of passing
upon tho prima facie facts in tho contests.
Tho silver men also discussed tho ad
visability of abrogating tho two-thirds
rule in accordance with tho recom
mendations of tho Illinois delegation. No
formal action was taken, but tho prepon
derance of sentiment was so strongly
against a change that It was made practi
cally certain that It will not bo attempted.
This Is duo to tho fact that it is considered
that Mich a courso will bo unnecessary.
Several niemliers presented llgurcs to show
that tho chango will not bo nocossary.
Those figures, on tho faeo of tho returns
received, place tho silver strength at 51)8 ns
.against !)32 gold delegates,' but assurances
havo boon received which load to tho con
clusion that the silver vote will reach 011,
and It Is confidently believed that the dis
play of so much strength will bring tho
few other votes nocosssary to glvo the re
quired two-thirds. These figures are in
dependent of contests. Tlio states which
are counted upon to yield tho increase are
Malno, Maryland, Michigan and Florldn.
Senator Hhickburn, of Kentucky, Is
among tho recent arrivals. Ho was incou-
able sliver majority In tho convention.
Colonel Phil Thompson, who accompanies
Senator lilackburn, says tho senator will
unquestionably bo placed in nomination,
but that it is not yet determined by whom
tho nominating speech will bo made.
Meantime tho friends of Horace Doles,
of Iowa, are actively at work creating
sentiment in favor of their candidate for
tho nomination, and say that, notwith
standing tho apparent load of Hlaud of
Missouri, the Iowa man lias a good fight
ing chance.
Senator David B. Hill and William O.
Whitney are expected hero tomorrowaftcr
noon, and their coming is looked forward
