The Elmira Adrertiser illustrates its ability
to be absurd, as follows:

Comments-1. The fellow who stands alone
has not can equal chance with his fellow
"citizens united in solid array against him.
He counts one, and they a hundred or thou
sand, as the case may be. Cumulative voting
allows and enables every interest, party, clique,
or faction, to be represented IN proportion TO
its numerical weight, neither less nor more.
Q. "The minority" are not permitted, under
our plan, to least more votes than the
majority" Each casts vote IN exact proper
ton TO its numbers, and MAKES itself felt &C
cordngly. 8. "Any one can tell how he wants
"to vote" exactly as he does now if he can't.
he ought not to vote, and probably will not.
4. "The result OF an election" can be told
beforehand much oftener under our present
than under the Cumulative system, since the
former affords less play to individual choice Az
to parties miscalculating their strength" they

We find the following startling bit of history
ia The Herald of Saturday:


80 In 1863 Honest Old Abe proving superior 10 MI
Greeey's absurd demands and notions the Indignant
philosopher first tried TO cut Lincoln out OF second
nominaon with Mr. Chase as the Republican iaVorite
and failing In this he anxious to have Mr.. Chase
nominated by tho Democracy because OF the hope thus
held out OF having full satisfaction against Lincoln
We, too. think the Democrats made great mistake IN
rejecting Mr. Chase their candidate in 1868 out We
were entirely satisfied with President Lincoln"
1t is probable that there are not dozen
men in New-York who knew, until they saw
it in The Herald, that Mr.. Lincoln was living
in 1858, and a candidate for the Presidency.
There are a great many, however, who remem-
Der that this remarkable paper was vocifer-
ous advocate for the nomination of Chief
Justice Chase, in that year. We have been told,
in that same astonishing journal, that it keeps
a bakers dozen of editors constantly on tap
in what it calls its "intellectual department"
OF whom several arc Americans. Why not

The Grand Jurymen in the Court of Oyer
