The won "Majority" means the exegss of a grater numljer over a less. , X claim that it is precisely anala goua to two opposing candidates To illustrate let bs nanfe those for subscription, Mr. A. and those against subscription Mr.B., there are 561 voters, 389 of these vote for A. and 172 vote for B., 217 is the difference or excess and therefore A, ia elected by 217 majority. Again, it is true that the railroad, or any other measure or candidate mu8tgo beyond one half of the whole number of a two sided con test before it or he is in the majority; but in this case the affirmative has all its toumbers entirely from that Bide. Therefore, every time a vote is cast "For," it adds one to the affirmative and takes one from the negative thereby gaininsr a difference of two at each time. . . jnow, m counting the excess, we base the calculation on the less num ber is here diminishing by every vote and thus the basis is continually changing. The law says there shall be a "Majority of the qualified voters,' therefore the other side must neces sarilybe in the minority and the Act does not and cannot designate what that minority shall be, the difference between the two numbers therefore is the majority. Respectfully Submitted, Inspector. "Inspector" has our sympathy, If he saw his error we believe he would surrender. The Board of Canvasser against him. the law yers now, and the facts in the case are against him. lie's bound to admit that the least possible vote that would insure the election is 281 and all above that number, of course, is, majority. He must remember that the obstacle to be surmounted is 281, and after reaching that and moving on then majority is moving. "Inspector," everybody who is offi cially concerned in this matter is against you so knuckle. And when the weather clears away dirt will be moved. Hurrah for the t Concord Southern. Editor.
