Mr.. EDIToH--SlR; | see in your paper
of Sept. Dist, an article asking for infor-
nation as TO what constitutes II legal voter
in Freemen's meeting, stating that in this
town ''thc most absurd decisions are made
every year," for which he cites tive eases.
Erastus Demas and Jonathan Smith, The
authority decided without dissenting
vote, | believe, in the case Of Mr.. Demas
as between Morristown and Emore, that
he was a voter in Elmorc, after which
discussion, the question was raised that
he was foreigner and not natufalzed.
which question the authority left where it
has been for the last twenty years, he
having been allowed to vote at all cleo
tiops in town, without let or hindranee,
since he beralpe twenty-one years of age.
There was no decision made in the case Of
Mr.. Smith by the authority. Ell
Now, sir, your correspondent indicates
Mr. Woodbury. and myself as two very
learned gentlemen, and carries the idea
that we constitute about tie Whole Of the
board Of civil authority Of the important
town Of Gilmore. | will inform said cor
respondent that five other gentlemen com.
posed that board and were present, all
good Republicans, too, whohad voice and
vote in the matter, which fact tho CORE.
pendent und jubtedly knows as well as |
do, but has written that article more fer
personal abuse than practical effect. If
some of our political leaders in town
would use more sound, honest argument
and gentlemanly bearing and less calumny

the exhibition at that Fair. We are able

than on former years. We made several
innocent attempts to go the rounds in Flo
