remain, each claiming the right to ad-
minister the affairs of state till the
question is adjudicated in the courts.
The only ludicrous thing about the
contests came into the situation yes
terday. As anticipated, the banks re-
fused to recognize either of the CON
tending factions and as a result both
are without money and the state
funds are as securely tied up as they
could be. Legislators. county as Well
