It is agreed if that court had jurisdiction the judgment is to be affirmed, and if not, it shall be reversed.\nIn Brush v. Lemma, 77 Ill. 496, which was a contest for the office of mayor of the city of Carbondale in Jackson county, and which was twice argued\u2014the first time at the June term, 1874, and the last time at the June term, 1875, we held that a contest for the office of mayor of a city could not be prosecuted by proceedings in the county court, unless it appeared that the city was incorporated under the general law relating to the incorporation of cities.\nThe city of Joliet is incorporated, as appears from the record, under a special charter, and the case is, therefore, governed by Brush v. Lemma. The judgment is reversed.\nJudgment reversed.",
