One reason prdlralbiyis that Mr. Wiley has not been here,.Mr. Hughes has been away sick forsome time and none of the papersIn the case have been .filed with the.clerk of the house yet.

Frojn the time whon the notice ofcontest was served-on Mr. Hughes,!forty day? was allowed Mr. Wiley In jwhich to prepare his evidence. Thenforty days was allowed Mr. HughesIn which to take evidence withwhich to contradict Mr. Wiley's evi¬dence.

'When this expires .Mr.j"Wiley wjlt bawe ten days additional!in whiph to obtain evidence in re-!fiiuttal. When the evidence is all In

¦ and prepared, it will be submittedto the clerk of the House, \ylio with"Mr. Wiley and Mr. Hughes, will de¬termine what parts of It shall be'ptinted. These parts will then ",ie

mittee on elections ol tho nextMouse and the consideration of therase, upon the evidence, will be be¬

gun. 1

What the result of the contestwill be can not be guessed at liere,for tho reason that tho testimonyhas n°t been heard here, and it Is
