The popular muorities for Taylor and tllI-
more, over Cass and Butler, are immensely
large, while in most Of the States which Cass
and Butler have carried, their plurality is so
small that less than ono.tonlh Of Taylor's ma
ioritv in New York alone, if distributed in the
Loco(oco States, would have given the Wings
% Of the 80 States.
Tavlor's and FiiImorc's maorldes over Cass
and Butler, in the Is Wing States, amount TO
2O6,787.
The Is States which cast their votes for Cass
and Butler, gave maorities of 64,787.
This will make Taylor's majority OF the po,
pular vote, over Cass, 10000. The official
returns may reduce it little, but cannot moba-
bly, bring it below 10000.

She is an example Of the true progress OF ma

case a Wing will be returned, and the Locolo-

Of the House and the common sense Of the

Locoloco is to be forced into the seat against
the manifest will of the people! Such is "Pro.

You'may say-ir this rule is applied to Mr.
Jones, the same rule will be applied to Mr.. Roed-
ter, Of Hamilton county, and to the Locoloco
Senator from Buller, both Of whom hold offices,
making them ineligible. True, they are n the
same legal predicament, but they are of differ

Locoiocoism.
Another case has occurred. In Portage coun.
Ity, David l.. Rockwell, Wing, and George Shell
don Locofoco, were the only candidates for tie
House of Representatives. In canyassing the
returns at the Clerks office, it was found that
George Sheldon had received 2,l98 votes, aud
George Sheldon 22. The Clerk set these
down in his abstract as given to different per-
sons. The returns show also that DaUid l..
Rockwell recevud 1888 votes. Daniel l..
Rockwell l6l, and d. Il. Rockwell l32 votes.
The Clerk sclhese down in the abstract as Civ
EN- for different persons, and thus elected Shell
don, the Locoloco, and gave him the certificate.
Correcting these clarical errors on both sides

David l.. Rockwell
George Sheldon,
Majority for Rockwell


We understand that Mr.. Sheldon has express
cd the opinion that he has no right to the seat
and will not claim it. But we learn also that
the faiihfm among the Locolocos have him in
dealing; and intend that he shall appear and
take his seat! What has been the practice of
the House in such cases!
The Ohio State Journal answers the quos
ZION. The House in Dec. 1889, was Loco'oco,
David T. Disney, Speaker. The member re-
turned from the same county of Portage was
William Goodman. The seat was claimed by
Gregory Powers, Jun. Mr.. Goldman did not
appear TO take his scat. The committee on c.
loctions, the day after the House was organized,
reported that it appeared that
Gregory Powers, jr. received l440 votes.
Gregory Powers, @7G
William Goodman, " l473
1t was proven that in the township of Aurora,
"a were gwen for Gregory Powers, all but one
of them having Jun" attached, though all were
returned for Gregory Powers. In BrimfoId
township SO votes were given for Gregory Pow
ers, jun., but were certified as given for Gregory
Powers. In like manner 33 votes in Coventry
given to Gregory Powers, jun, were certified as
given for Gregory Powers. So in Nelson liz
given for Gregory Powers, Jun, were certified
as given for Gregory Powers. So again in the
township of Portage 85 voles given for Gregory
Powers, jun,, were certified as given 10 Gregory
Powers. Placing all these votes down as given
for Gregory Powers, jun, his majority over
Goodman was 1888 votes. The committee there
upon reported that Gregory Powers, jun, was
entitled to the scat, and this report the House
confirmed without n diSspntinO VOirr and he
took his seat. This precedent-lhis Democra-
tic procedent-exactIy in point one would
think was conclusive in support Of the right Of
MIR. Rockwell to his seat. But the party is in Il
tight place, and if Mr.. Sheldon can be pcrsuad-
ed to take the seat, "the party" design to .sus-
tain him in holding it! What of these decisions
say they. Wohove progressed since they were
made, and the power of the house that made
them, can unmake them! 1t must be DONE
