Show The Tooele Election Case. The closing argument on the da-murrer da-murrer to plaintifi's application for a mandamus was make yesterday morning by Judge Tilford. The gentleman displayed considerable ingenuity and ability in sustaining the position taken by tbe defense, but, so far as appearances would indicate, did not succeed in impressing impress-ing tbe judce with its soundness, who, while taking the matter under advisement, stated that he had no present recollection ol any rule ei-Utiog ei-Utiog in large deliberative bodies, 6uch as congress, compelling further actian on a bill itaelf after the acceptance and adoption of the recommendatioPB of a conference confer-ence committee. The jude enquired of the defendants, whether, in the event the demurrer should be overruled, they would make any further showing or bring any evidence evi-dence in the matter, from which it is to be presumed that the demurrer will be overruled. In reply tothejudge'a query, Judge Tilfjrd answered that they would both make an additional showing and introduce evidence. Mr. Rawlins, for the plaintifi, informed the court that objection would be raised to the introduction of evidence. A supplementary argument was then made by Mr. Buskin, who approached the judge and tried to convince him that the house never adopted the oommittee'a report. At 2 o'clock the decision was further postponed until 10 o'clock this morning. . |
