the democrats appealed to Judge James,
WHO had Jurisdiction. The court ruled in
favor Of the democratic candidate and
the populists sought by mandamus to
force the case into the supreme court, the
judge having refused to sign a bill of ex-

ment was final and the supreme court sus-
tained his position, holding that the
intention of the law, when such contests
were referred to the judge, was that his
decision should be beyond appeal in the
courts, as his duty was not of a judicial
character, but similar to the authority
exercised by the governor in such cases.
