crowded to its utmost capacity ycster-
day morning by attorneys, candidates
and citizens interested In the result OF
the legal proceedings before him In con.
ncction 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 demurrer and on motion
to dissolve restraining order hereto
fore issued by him Ia favor Of the four
Republican candidates on their petition.
He rendered his decision at considerable
length, holding as to the demurrer:
1. That there was no mi~joinder o,
parties; that the four candidates could
sue together or separately.
?. The court had jurisdiction, not to
declare who sh ould hold the Office, for
that was clearly the province OF the Leg
islature upon a contest; but to declare
who was entitled to a certificate, for that
was personal right separate to the title
OF Office.
