The committee ms waited upon Judge Loofbonrow and aid the matter before him , but did not ircsa for an Immcdiato reply , courteously ioucoding that ho would naturally want a Uttlo ttmo to think the matter over. Fho commlttoo got no definite reply to .ho proposition , but got intimations , hat did not awaken much hope for n fa vorable reply , when it should come. Of conrsu Judge Loofbourow is not axious 'or n contest. Ho is declared elected. Lt ia the other sldo that ia anxious. As , o thp proposition made him to agree on some statement of facto to present for court of contest , it is understood that ho ooks upon the proposition as absurd. The situation to his mind acorns to bo lu subatanco that all n conrt of contest would pass upon would bo which candi date really had the most votes. To agree on n statement of facts would thoroioro bo to agree upon which candidate had the most votes , and if an agreement was reached on tins there would bo no need of n court of contest. The contest seems to bo really on the corrected returns of [ 3rcon county , by which n majority of I'.Ms ' [ inured out in Judge Loofbourow's favor. IIo and bla friondo say that to ngreo that ho did not receive these votes , would bo to agrco that Judge Aylosworth was elected , and thence no court of contest would ba nnoded. To agree that Judge Louf bourow did really receive those votes would also do away with the necessity of a contest. Un the other hand Judge Aylesworth and his friends put it thus : The ques tion ia not : "Dldjtho parties who opened the ballot boxes , days after the election , in Grant , Scranton , and Jefferson townships , in Greene county actually chnuqo or substitute ballots' ' ) " The real question is "Did they unlawfully take the opportu nity to manipulate the ballots ? " and II they did take such an opportunity , though they may have loft them as they wore , the law is clear that an official result once made and declared , before such an opportunity was unlawfully taken , must stand as against one made up , after the ballot box ' 'us unlawfully been tam pered with , oven if by doing so Innocent an act as merely counting the votes over. What they want-to agree on is the facts concerning the revision of the votn in Green county , and present the same document - umont and questions to a court of con test , which wore presented to the state board of canvassers. In other words they want the court of contest to simply review the action of the board. Both sides agree that they do not wish , to'enter a contest where there will bo a hunt after illegal votes. Such a contest , however , it might result , would be un satisfactory , or it would bo simply the question of which party could do the best hunting , and got the largest number of cases. 'Judge Ayleaworth himself does no seem anxious for any contest , but the anxiety seems more on the part of those who have an Interest In having Judge Aylesworth vacate the superior bench seas as to glvo a chance for some other dom osrat to rise.
