REMITTANCE BY MAIL
FROM THE POST MASTER GENERAL.

t5-Here'3 another iocqtoeo story. The poor fel-
lows seem actually to think that they must lie Just
as much as though the election was not over; or
is it merely the force Of habit? But to the story,
which we quote from the Vermont Statesman:
"The whole vote of Ohio amounts 20 nearly
215O0O. which is more than than there were white
males ny the state census of 1889. Pipe-laying
appears to have been the order of the day during
lection"
Now the fact is that there were white males in
Ohio over2I years of age in 1889, something like
10000 more than the whole number of votes cast
at the last election. I he population of Ohio is
now 100000; less than one sixth Of the popu.
ution therefore voted at the last election. The
population of Vermont does not vary much from
100000, of which $4,000 is one sixth; but YER
mont casts over $4,000 votes, Dare the locos say
that more votes were cast in Vermont than she
has lreemen?
