REfIINGTON IS STILL “DRY.”

Remonstrance Against Granting License to Joseph Ulm Is Held Good. There was a big fight in the commissioners’ court Thursday over the saloon application of Joseph Ulm of Remington, the matter having been continued

from Monday to Thursday that more time might be given to the same. As set forth in The Democrat last week, the remonstrators filed a power-of-attorney remonstrance containing on its face 368 names, a majority of some 92. Several of these were found to be non-voters of the township at this time, but after getting off all that was held bad the remonstrators still had a safe majority of some 75, and the license was refused. The power-of-attorney was also attacked on the grounds that it had lapsed, but as no definite time was stated in the originals the court held that they were good until revoked by the parties giving them. There were-some forty or fifty temperance peopleftnd others over from Remington and Carpenter tp., and the hearing lasted all day. It is now Baid that the temperance forces will proceed to get up a remonstrance against the business, which will hold good when once filed for a period of two years. The present case will not be appealed, we understand.
