posed that the formal designations would be
supposed that it would be more agreeable to the

bent upon the President to remove them.

THE OHIO ELECTION.

Legal Proceedings to Determine Who Were
Properly Elected Senators From Hamil.
ton County-Judge BuchwalleE's Decision
Adverse to the Dissolution of the Re-
straining Order On the County Clerk.
CINCINNATI, O., October o7.-Judge
Buchwaster's little courtroom was
crowded to its utmost capacity yester-
day morning by attorneys, candidates
and citizens interested in the result of
| the legal proceedings before him in con.
nection with the delivery of certificates
of election to the four candidates for
Senator from Hamilton County. The
matter had been argued and submitted
to him on a demurrer and on a motion
to dissolve restraining order hereto
fore issued by him in favor of the four
Republican candidates on their petition.
He rendered his decision at considerable
length, holding as to the demurrer:
/. That there was no misjoinder OF
parties; that the four candidates could
sue together or separately.
2. The court had jurisdiction, not to
declare who should hold the Office. for
that was clearly the province of the Leg
islature upon a contest; but to declare
who was entitled to certificate, for tina
was q personal right separate to the title
of Office.
He held it was not necessary, in order
to obtain the aid of the court to prevent
irreparably injury, to do more than make
out q prima facie case. While in this
case the averments of facts In the petit
ton were insufficient, yet the plaintiffs
were entitled to amend on that particu-
lar, if necessary. and in any case they
were entitled to an order to stay the
hand of the Clerk until the merits Of the
case could be determined in another
court. The mi junction was therefore
continued in force, and the mandamus
case, involving the same points, was
taken up by the Circuit Court.
CINCINNATI, O., October 27.-The
mandamus cases of the Republican can.
didates for Senator and for the ommon
Pleas Judgeship were up before the Cir
cult Court yesterday morning. Judges
Cox, Smith and Swing, the full bench,

was agreed thai the petition of the four

ment, setting up the fact that the court
had no iurisdic ion, the Common Pleas
Court having assumed full jurisdiction In
the matter.
