enemy or from any contagion, nor had 1t
become dangerous from any cause save
the lawlessness brought about by the de-
1endant's OWL unlawful and wrongful acts.
If the defendants are permitted to con-
tinue in the exercise of these unlawful acts,
they allege great and irreparable injury will
result not only to the state, but to these
plaintiffs. That his acts and doings in
plain violation of the constitution, of the
rights of each and all of these plaintiffs,
and destructive of that department of the
government that is intrusted with the sole
power of passing and enacting such laws as
may be deemed best for the public interest.
They, therefore, ask an immediate injunc-
ton. enjoining and restraining the defend
tempting to remove this legislative body to
the city of London, or elsewhere than the
capitol at Frankfort; and, furthermore,
that the defendants and all others be en-
joined and restrained from preventing by
force, military or otherwise, the plain
tiffs from entering into the public building
known as the state house, in order that
they may discharge their official duties to
their constituents and to the state.
Wherefore they pray for an immediate in
junction against the said Saylor and Col
lier, and for I'll other proper and equitable
relief.

He spoke with great confidence, and
created the impression that appears to be
prevalent that the republicans have some
thing in reserve. Every effort to discover
what the republicans propose to do is baf-
fed either by the restriction placed around
