II m a GoTcrnor Was Ousted bj a Court
From the If. T. Tribunt.
The question of submitting tie offielal re
turns of a Bute election to judiolal lnqnlrj
has been somewhat discussed since the vent'.
lation of some of the frauds whereb John T.
Hoffman has received an official certificate of
his election as Governor of this State. There
are manj who seem to think that such a cer
tificate is final and conclusive, especially slnoe
his inauguration. Practically it may prove
so in the case of Mr. Hoffman; but it may be
well to remind those who issued the "secret
circular" which Mr. Tilden was so anxious
to disavow, that there is such a thing as a
legal remedy against the stuffing of ballot
boxes and the making of falae returns.
For this purpose we desire to call attention
to a remarkable case of the ousting of a Gov
ernor of Wisconsin, declared duly elected by
the Board of State Canvassers, and in the pos
session and exercise of the powers of his office,
by the judgment of the Sapreme Court of that
Bute. The case was unique in our history,
havirjg do precedent, while no similar caw has
eince occurred. It occasioned much local ex
citement at the timt, and a small civil war
between the supporters of the rival claimants
seemed to nervous people at one time probable.
It marked the end of the dominancy of the
Democratio party in Wisconsin, and the
accendancy (ever since held) of the Republi
cans in that State. In its charaoter, incidents,
and importance it was one of the most memo
rable cases ever tried before a State tribunal,
but the remoteness of the State aud the events
of the war which separated us from our pre
ceding history by the breadth of a whole gene
ration of experience have practically pat it
out of memory.
The case, in a few words, was this: William
A. Barstow, who had been Governor for
nearly two years, was the Democratic candi
date for that office in ISM. Ilia opponent
was Coles A. Bashford, a Republican. The
campaign was very warmly and closely
fought, and the result was, for some time
after the election, left in doubt. The Board
of State Canvassers, consisting of the Secre
tary of State, State Treasurer, and Attorney
General, were all Democrats, having been
elected at the same time with Barstow. The
TJBual course, and that provided by the law,
was for the board to reoeive only the returns
sent certified by the boards of County Can
vassers. The State Board, however, in this
instance, allowed votes of towns, statements
of which had not been sent to the County
Boards. In some counties, also, supplemental
returns were made by County Boards, and
allowed. The State Boards, unanimous in
some instances, went behind the return of the
County Boards, and allowed votes thrown
out by the latter. Other instances of alleged
illegal action were specified, but these are not
to our purpose, which is mainly to review the
main features of the case the ousting of a
Governor by a Conrt. On the basis of these
alleged frauds, Mr. Bashford, who had been
sworn in as Governor by the Supreme Court
on the firBt day of the term of the office, having
made due application to the Attorney-General,
the latter filed, on the 15th of January, 165(5,
an information in the nature of a writ of 7110
warranto, to the effect that Mr. Bashford was
the duly elected Governor of Wisconsin; that
from the 7th of that mouth Mr. Barstow had
intruded into and usurped that office, and
praying for due process of law against the
latter.
Without following the intermediate steps of
the case, it is sufficient to say that on the 2d
of February Barstow's counsel moved to dis
miss the proceedings on the ground of want of
jurisdiction. The argument of this motion,
the boldness of which excited the admiration
of the Democrats and the horror of the Re
publicans, was set down for the 11th of the
moiith, and then the interest in the case
began to be intense all over the State. It was
thk all-absorbing topic in the papers, in
political gatherings, and in private halls.
Vild threats were met by threats equally
wild. It was reported that the Governor had
all of the Democratio militia companies in
readiness for resistance to an adverse decision
of the Supreme Court; that he had provisioned
the Executive Chamber for a prolonged siege;
that the Secretary oi State aud State Treasurer
would refuse to recognize any other Governor
than Barstow; that the Democratic As
sembly would receive no official messages
from Bashford, in any eveut; aud that, in
case of serious oonllict, the United States forces
would be sent by a Democratic President to
uphold the de facto Governor. So deep and
universal an excitement had never before
been known in the history of the State, and
every detail concerning the case was bul
letined conspicuously in all of the larger
towns. The lawyers engaged were the ablest
in the State. Judge Howe, now United States
Senator, Mr. K G. Ryan, then considered the
first lawyer in Wisconsin, and Mr. A. W. Ran
dall, our Postmaster-General, were employed
by Mr. Bashford. On the side of Mr. Bar
stow were Mr. Matt. H. Carpenter, then the
xnoBt promising lawyer in the Northwest, and
who has since fulfilled his promise; Mr. Ar
nold, the learned and eloquent President of
the Milwaukee bar for ever twenty years with
out opposition, and Judge Orton.
Mr. Carpenter presented the main point of
Mr. Barstow's case, in demanding a dismissal
for want of jurisdiction. He held that the
three departments of the State Government,
- the legislative, exeoutive, and judioial, were
, equal, co-ordinate, and independent of each
other, and that each must be, aud is the ulti
timate judge of the election aud qualification
! of its own member or members, subject only
to impeachment and appeal to the people;
t that the Court was obliged to take official
, liotioe of the election, inauguration and signa
; tnre of the Governor, and that the State con
stitution provided no means of ousting a suc
cessful usurper. Mr. Carpenter reviewed all of
the important English and A me r loan authori
ties which could be brought to bear on these
points, and urged that by any other construc
tion the other departments existed but at the
mercy of the judioiary. "They live not,"
said he, "by drinking at the constitutional
sources of power; they live only on the hope
' That the judges are good men aud true; that
they confine themselves within amiable and
good-natured bounds; they have no shield to
raise in their own defense; they have so
sword to strike at encroachment and usurpa
tion; they stand no longer erect like warriors,
.they supplicate and ylad like women for
V their own existence." At the close of his
argument he insinuated in cautious but un
' mistakable language that even if the Court
deoided in favor of its own jurisdiction, the
Governor might choose to adhere to his own
(mixtion and defy the Court.
Judge Howe, on the other side, claimed that
the three departments were not independent
of eaoh other, and that, if they were, they
could not be checks on one another; that the
question was not as to the office, but as to the
individual holding it, and that the laws and
Constitution of the State, and not the views of
Dolitical theorists, should deoide the question
' He closed by say ine that the insinuations of
, the counsel for the Governor de facto were out
of vlaoe. but "that if the parties to this case
were to be remitted to the ancient right of
- kings if they are to be told by this Court to
resort, like the Richards and Henrys of Lng
land, to arms for tb arbitrament of their
lights the relator (Baaliford) bs no Just
cause to fear the result of this trial." The
arguments on both sides covered a great deal
of ground not strictly pertinent to the oase,
and we do not care to follow them any further.
The Court deoided that it had jurisdiction.
On the delivery of this decision, which was
anticipated by both sides, the case assumed a
new phase. Mr. Carpenter, speaking for the
counsel of the Governor de facto, formally
announced that their client had withdrawn
from the case and desired to submit a com
munication to the Court. This document re
hearsed the substance of the pleas of counsel.
Governor Barstow denied the jurisdiction of
the Court, and said, in his conclusion: "I
shall deem it an imperative duty to repe', with
all of the force vested in this department, any
infringement upon the rights and powers
which I exercise under the Constitution."
This was bold, plump, and to the point, and
was written by a man entirely in earnest and
resolved to stand by his words. When he
wrote them he had assurauces that neither the
Secretary of State nor State Treasurer nor
Assembly would recognize any other Governor
than himself, and he had some reason to
believe that the Senate would also uphold
him. He was prepared to defend his posses
sion of the office he held at all hazards and to
the death. Had his friends been equally bold,
there probably would have been bloodshed.
A Sunday intervened, however, and the
most of the members of the Legislature went
to their various homes. They found a rising
spirit of indignation among the people at the
attitude and threats of the Governor; who, the
people thought, wanted to plaoe himself above
the law. They returned to the capital less
disposed to counsel violent resistance, and
told the Governor that it would be useless aud
dangerous. The communication of the Gov
ernor was dated on the 8th of March. On the
lath of that month the Attorney-General, who
was friendly to Barstow, adopted the last ex
pedient of withdrawing the case. The oounsel
for Bashford insisted, however, that the rights
of their client oould not thus be sacrificed,
and that the trial must go on, and the Conrt
was of the same opinion. Finally, a judgment
ousting Barstow was rendered. It was simply
necessary to throw out the vots irregularly
counted by the State Board of Canvassers, as
the official certificates by which Barstow held
the office of Governor gave the vote at 3(i,355
for Barstow to 36,198 for Bashford.
Even when the final decision was rendered
there was much doubt as to the result, and
Bash ford's friends were not over-con fldent. A
Governor whose messages might be rejected
by the Legislature, and whose signature to
appropriation bills might be treated as a nul
lity by the State Treasurer, would be an
imaginary and ridiculous official, and such a
Governor many feared that Bashford might
be. fortunately, as we nave said, a few
days' adjournment enabled the legislators to
learn the temper of the people, and when
Governor Bashford sent his first communica
tion to the Senate, a veteran Demoorat, the
ablest of his party in the Senate, was the first
to move its acceptance, and the Assembly
speedily followed the example. About the
fame time the taoiturn Secretary of State, who
had kept his own counsel, al 0 officially re
cognized the Governor de jure. As no
moneys could be drawn out o( the Treasury
without his signature, his action was de
cisive. The long agony was over without
bloodshed and without strife, and Governor
Bashford took possession of his office as
quietly as any of his predecessors, Barstow
yielding to "constructive force" with the ut
most promptness. And thu3 ended the first
and last case of a successful ousting of a S'.ate
Governor by a State Court.
