CONTESTED ELECTION CASE.

The Arguments on tho Mandamus Con-
sidered, But the Matter Goes Over.
The contested election case in the
form of an application for mandamus
to compel the board OF election commits
sioners to correct the Third ward re-
turns came up again before Judge Hors
ley, OF Nelson county, st 10 o'clock yes
terday morning. but after hsaring the
arguments on both sides the court did
not con ,ider the application, which will
go over until July l6 and be heard in
connection with the contest OF the cleo
ton.
The same question that arose Friday
afternoon. as to whether it was proper
to consider the application for q man
damus separate from the contest of the
election, came up, and in order to intel
ligently decide this tho court heard at
length the argument of counsel on the
prayer for a mandamus as we'll as the
demurrer to the mandamus
After considering the matter Judge
Hershey decided that the application for
mandamus and the contest OF the
election involved the same questions
and were really identical, although
brought into court by different parties.
and that it would not DO in accorda nce
with tho law TO consider the two cases
separately, therefore he decided to take
up the application for the mandamus in
connection with tho contested election
cases, which will be heard July l6
