The practical operation of PAYSE's
bill would be this: We will suppose
that A. is a candidate for Congress,
supported by both parties, in some
Southern district. He receives 20,
600 votes; but a Mr.. b. has ascer-
tanned that A. is not eligible to the
Office. He votes for himself (B),
and, under the law, is declared elec-
ted, he being the next highest eligi-
bic candidate. This statute would
open the door to all sorts of frauds
designed to rule the majority by the
minority !-Cincinnai Enquirer. !
