MrEditob Please allow me to
ventilate this. question. 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.

"No man on the fleor of congress
can vote for a protective tariff for
protection's sake without oommitU
ing pejury before God," said Judge
Merrimon iti hi3 speech Saturday
. night. That sounds harsh, but ac
cording to .the constitution which
every member of both branches of
congress swears Li uphold nd sup
port, it 13 strictly true. They, can
levy taxes only f 6r the "general wel
fare," according to tha instrument.
A tariff levied forrotection is not
for the "general waif are," but for
the welfare of the few at the expense
of the many. -
