Judge Mason ot counsel for ' Mr.'l lu'iyer suggested that there was hut ono question under consideration liy the court , and that was whether < lovernor lloyd was a cltl/uti of the United States , and on that question ntisver should bo made Instanter. Mr. Illiilr , alsoof counsel for tbo the rclator , mild that when a demurrer was overruled an answer could bo made only when the court decided Unit the party to the demurrer had something In liU case. The court stated it had all nloiifj decided thnt It would hear the ease on an answer and that counsel would be prepared to argue Hou Tuesday next. After the judges had taken their scats Chief Justice Cobb said : "In the case In rotation of John M.

U'o will hear suggestions from you as to the length of liino necessary to answer. Mr. Howo-1 am willing to answer within ti week or ao. Tbo Court-It would bo convenient to the court if you answer by next Tueselay , It that would satisfy you. Mr. llowo Taut may bo tnoonler.

Mr. Mason Knvly in January this < | tie ivnrranto was Hied , nnd from any view 1 am iiblo to take of this case the only question In volved Is that of the citizenship of Mr. 13oyd.

Mr. lllnir 1 deslro to call your honor's at tention to the language ol the statute. His that upon a demurrer being overruled , tbo party demurring may answer it the court bo natislied that he hu : a meritorious defense , lie bus no absolute right to answer until it 1ms been clearly shown to the court or stated nt least to the court what his defense is , In order that the court may determine from his bliiteiiirnt whether it is meritorious or not. The Court The matter was talked over thoroughly in consultation. It is trno that perlmps In an ordlanrly law suit that it would bo tlio proper way , hut we hnvo taken it for granted all the way through that this case would be licarel , on an answer and.wo. . . thlnkrthat have 'concluded' from a'pretty thorough discussion to go over from one week to the other for the purpose of making this answer is not unreason able. Mr. Howo-l would llko talnuulrowho'.hur the court will hand down any written opinion now. now.Tho Court-We will not until the case is finally disposed of. Mr. Itlair-l would llko to glvo notice that upon that answer being tiled wo will ask tbo court to say on that morning when we will have a trial. 1 want Mr. Howe to talto no tice of this. Mr. Howe-1 heat- you say so. The court ttioii considered other mutters. In speaking of the court's rnlliiu ( Sovernor Hoytl said that he w as disappointed , 1 lo ilia not think Thayerluul any standing In court , but Judging from the , decision the supreme court .seemed to think ho had. lie desired , however , to say nothing further in ttio p remises. Judge Mn on of counsel for Thaver suiel that when the matter came up next Tuesday , It would be to determine whether or not , lloyd was a citi/en of the United States , and ho thought nil other matter would ho ex cluded in tbo controversy. Kx-fovernor ! Thayer said that ho bad ex pected tlio decision because ( iovernor Uoyil's counsel liad depended en'.lrely upon sympathy. This was shown In tbo reference to the case ol ( JovernorNnnco in the hearing nnd the reference to the long period of time Hoyd had resieled in Nebraska. It is stated on good authority thatdoveruor Hoyd will apply to the Mipromo court of the United States lorn wilt of certiorarl to com pel the state court lo bend the c.bo thither for llnid disposition. The Status nf t bo Case. Ono of the judges of tbo district court , in commenting upon the decision of the supreme court , this inonMng said : "Tlie case is now very plain and places Hoyd where ho must fhow whether or not ho Is a citizen of the United States. In my opinion , when lioyd's nttornoyn tiled the demurrer they nit milted the facts as set forth InThaycr's petition. The supreme court overruled this demurrer , and in doing so it most certainly held tluittlioro is a good case if the facts as set fortn in the Volition are true. "Boyd has held all along that ho elocs not have io sliow that , ho Is iiciti/en , claiming that his election and subsequent in- Mullatloii settles . this question. By the decision of the court the status of the case is changed and will now como on an answer , In which lloyd must show Ills side of the case and make his defense , or pet out of the gubernatorial chair. "It is hard to tell what questions may arise now , but it looks us though the decision on the answer would settle the whole case. " Trotting lloriio llroedors.
