1uiting by what arthority Mayor HoYNE 49,

This is q pzpper proceeding if A1r. Co1v1s
thinks be has beott untustly anl unlawfully
ousted, and it is tho only loyal and orderly
way III which lie can seek remedy or rc-
covor tho Office. It is mistake to presume,
however, TINT this proceeding is brought
about by my sort Of -back-down compromise
on tho part Of 3fnyor I1oYHr, or any concca-
sion that in tho lcagt sacrifices tho iutoreets
OF tho people whom he represents, or bolit-
ties tho onlco to which ho WIS elected,
Mayor uo,NE hns, wo suppose, agreed to
contest rs defendant any suit that Co1y1N
may bring against him. and this he would do
rs matterot- right md. duty in any event.
It may b., too, that blr. HoYNE has ngreed
not to appeal the case If it bo decided al
verse2y to him In tho Circuit Court, md such
an agreement fs entirely proper. If the
Judgment Of tho Court shall bo TINT
thero YVES no vacancy in tho Office
ot Mayor, that Mr. HoYNE wns not

had no right to canvass his vote and doclaro

for even tho tor1n which CoLv1N c1ai1ns would

tho office as against any claimant or protcnd-
CT, and to abfdo by tl.o decision of the Court
like poaceahlo citizon. This Ia all that tho
people have u right to expect.
We cannot conceive that number Of in
h'liigcnt, logal gentlemen like the five judges
OF tho Circuit Court of this county will dc.
cNdo that Mr. CoLv1N has any authority to hold
