, therefore, no court can have jurisdiction to
inquire into the matter. It will be seen that this view of the
question, while it recognizes the principle that the election is
the foundation of the right to the office, assumes that the
canvassers have authority to decide the matter finally and
conclusively. We do not deem it necessary to say anything on the
present occasion upon the subject of the jurisdiction of this
court, as that question has already been decided, and the reasons
for the decision given. Bearing it in mind, then, that under our
constitution and laws, it is the election to an office, and not
the canvass of the votes, which determines the right to the
office, we will proceed to inquire into the proceedings of the
State canvassers, by which they determined that the respondent
was duly elected."--(4 _Wis._, 792.)
