already holding the offices were enabled to
hold over.
The suits grew out of this fact Some
OF the republicans who were elected and
unable to give good bonds. suing democrats
for heavy damages. alleging that the lat
ter were responsible for their failure to
make them.
The defendants to the suits do not deny
using their influences TO prevent their
friends signing the bonds, and the case re-
solves itself into a point OF law as tc
whether or not they had the right to inter
fere in the manner as charged
