buildings in the city, In which ele
ctors are operated, had been Invited

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 31.—According to
a decision rendered at about 11 o’clock
last night by the court of appeals, the
making of independent nominations by
multiple petition was not contrary to
the election statute. The decision af*>
firmed the right of the Independence
League to make such nominations. The
finding is a great victory for William
Randolph Hearst an<j his Independence
League.
The court decides that the cer
tificate first filed had prior claim, and
the Independence League had a right
to designate its own candidates.
Candidates' Names Restored.
The court held that the Judicial nom
ination of John G. Brady could not be
placed in tne Independence League col
umn, but that the following names were
entitled to a place in the league column
of the official ballot:
Francis E. Shober, Tammany candi
date In the Seventeenth congressional
district: Charles V. Farmer, Tammany
candidate In the Eighteenth congres
sional district: Henry M. Goldfogle,
Tammany candidate In the Ninth con
gressional district. Judge Otto Rosal-
sky’s name will also go in the In
dependence League column, together
with the names of three assembly and
senatorial candidates.
Mr. Hearst Pleased.
The appeals in the other cases were
dismissed on the ground that questions
of fact were involved which would have
to be passed upon by the appellate di
vision, but as It would be impossible
for the latter court to dispose of them
In time to permit the printing of the
official ballot, the cases will probably
not be sent back for review.
Mr. Hearst was In Rochester last
night when Informed of the decision of
the court. He said:
"The victory Is more than a victory
for the league or for thfe candidates. It
Is a victory for all the people. It gives

"The slaughter of quail will begin legally In Georgia
tomorrow, November 1, and as is the custom, hundreds of

"Already scores of Atlanta crack shots are making

“Reports from all sections of the state Indicate an

It Is of no little Interest to stop a moment and think
of the great Improvement In shooting Irons. Thirty
years ago our fathers would have called a man crasy

guns were sold—the price was considered fabulous—but
the twentieth century Is here and all the undreamed-of
revelations with It. The guns of today are to a sports
man what a toy Is to a child, and In olden times Uf go
shooting was almost laborious, but the muzsle-loader Is

one memorable .struggle has taken
place In the state, and that "was the
fight In the First district to select the
successor of the late Rufus E. Leser.
The seleclon of the man for the unex
plred term, ending Mnrch 4 next, was
nil easy matter. J. W. Overstreet, of
Screven county, received the plum
without opposition.
But when It came to naming the
candidate for the long term there was
a merry row. In the special election
to namovthe man two -candidates tied.
Shepherd and Brannen receiving 18
votes each.
One Bitter Contest.
A long and bitter struggle followed.
Neither candidate would yield an inch,
j The balloting continued over two
: months, and near a thousand ballots
I were taken. It resulted always—Shep-
j herd 18, Brannen 18. It promised to
i go on Indefinitely. Finally a compro-
I mlse was reached. Judge Samuel B.
Adams, of Savannah, was nominated.
But the rejoicing was short lived.
Judge Adams declined the nomina
tion!
Then the convention went at It again,
hammer and tongs. Same old result.
Then somebody played a winning card.
Charles O. Edwards, a well-known
young Savannah lawyer, was offered as
a compromise.
It smashed the deadlock to smither
eens. -The candidate offered had a
brother as a delegate. He Went over
to his brother's hand-wagon with
rush, and he carried two more votes
with him. So It will lie Congressman
Edwards down In the First after next
March.
In the Second district James M.
Griggs had prospective opposition early
In the year, but It melted away very
quickly. Judge Griggs has been In
congress for ten years. While he is
not worrying about his own election, he
Is troubled about scores of others, for
he Is chairman of the Democratic con
gressional committee.
Elijah B. Lewis had to fight to hold
his place In \ the Third. Crawford
Wheatley and Dudley M. Hughes both
went after his scalp. Senator Wheat-
ley quit before the time was out, but
Colonel Hughes stuck to It to the finish.
Sir. Lewis was re-elected, or rather re
nominated, which means the same
thing down there. He has served his
district ten years.

FEDERAL PRISONER CLAIMS
HIS LIBERTY UNDER LA W
John Stevens, known at the Federal
prison, where he is Incarcerated, as
convict No. 866, will be, brought before
Judge William T. Newman, of the
United States district court. Friday
and will be allowed to tell, through hla
attorney. Hon. J. K. Hines, why ho
should be set nt liberty.
Here are the grounds on which he
bases his claim to liberty:
Btevens was convicted May 1, 1897,
In the courts of New York for man
slaughter and was sent to the peni
tentiary at Auburn, N. Y„ to serve nine
years. Three years, four months and
ten days were cut from his sentence
for good behavior, but the law under
which the commutation was made pro-
vtdes that If the prisoner Is again con
victed of any crime he shall serve out
the remainder of his first sentence.
It was not long before Btevens was
again arrested and convicted In Roch
ester, N. Y., of breaking Into a post-
office. He wss let off with a onc-dollar
fine In the Federal courts with the un
derstanding that he hod to serve out
his time at Auburn.
While he was serving this last sen
tence, which his habeas corpus petition
Incidentally claims was a sentence of
the state of New York and not of the
Federal courts, he was transferred to
the Federal prison at Atlanta. He has
estimated that his sentence would have
expired October 10 and acting on this
reckoning, he Is having Warden Moyer
hauled Into court to tell under what
orders ha la still held.
