THE ROCKINGHAM REGISTER.

We have examined the ''proof that Col GRAY
voted for HIMSELF" and have concluded not to pub
lish it, for the simple reason that it establishes
nothing in which we or the public are in the least
interested. The first certificate produ ced is from
COL McGiivray, who was the opponent of Col
Gray In the election referred to-He says 81 de-
ciared my intention to record my vote in favor of
myself-A. S. Gray then claimed the same priv
lege." ''We both afterwards deemed it prudent
to withdraw votes, and the cotes ,cere not re-
corded"
1t appears from all the certificates that the cleo
tion was very close one, and it was thought that
Col. Gray would be elected by but one vote, when
Col. McGilvray voted for himself and Col. Gray
then did the same thing. Under these circum
stances the latter gentleman would not have been
guilty of any indelicacy in voting for himself, and
would have been altogether justifable we leave
the Register to pass judgment upon the conduct of
Col. McGilyray.
We cannot however believe that Col. GRAY did
vote for himself so long as we have the testimony
of two gentlemen Or. Hunter and COL Kenneyl
to the contrary, whom we know from reputation to
be honorable men. Of The gentlemen who certify
