The whole vote cast ia West Virgins
upon The restriction Of the right of suE-
fEage 20 those who could take the test
oath was about thiTty-efght thousand.
The majority Was only about seven
Thousand foF the Eeetrietion- There
Eefe At least thirty-eight thousand yo-
ters excluded from the right 20 vote on
This question. 50 that, bad the whole
Of the male population voted on the
question. the registry would have been
rejected by an imu7euse majority. But
the brutal party in power had no idea
Of losing their authority by any such
folly As permitting the people 10 vote.
Possibly when the courts decide their
registry and their test oath unconssitu-
tionai, they will be little more liberal.
