The application sets forth that the Gov |
ernor has uulawfully usurped the office. |
Although Governor Baxter refuses to reA |
cognize the right of the court to hear such |
an application, and has announced that he |
will obey no mandate issued by it on such |
an application, and has refused to employ |
counsel to contest the case. Judge English |
aud Mr.. Compton, both eminent attorneys, |
appeared in court and opposed the filing of |
the application. The argument on this

mored such an application was to be made.
