The merest school boy could answer his silly
tatements. Among them was this: That the re-
publicans were responsible for the war because
they didn't support Douglas for President. After
d nouncing the republicans as gang of thieving
ioniss, be told his friends to 90 to the polls
on Monday and quietly do their duty, and win
over the republicans to their side by appealing to
their "better natures" That's a good deal like

Republican Rally at Bowdoin h am.

Thursday evening, was a great success. Hon.
VIM. p. Frye addressed the meeting. The Town
Hall was filled with large and intelligent audi

Legal Decision.

| The City Solicitor has given the following de-
cision on the case of Harry V. Rutherford, of
this city, brought before the board of Aldermen,
the voting lists:
| When is a person fwenty one years Of age to
| enttle him 10 rote under the Constitution Of
Hdine'
| Art. II sec. / of the Constitution of Maine pro-
vidcs that Every male citizen of the United
States of the age Of twenty -one years and up
wards shall be an elector for Governor,
Senators and Representatives"
The question is, when is q "male citizen of the
United States of the age of twenty-one years
This section is TO bo construed according to the
| rules Of the common law as existing at the time
of the adoption of the Const tuition. Twenty
| one years has been the age of ma jority under
most systems Of law and many cases have arisen
| involving the construction Of similar clauses
So far as we know, the common law construction
has been uniform, and to the effect that person
is of full age the beginning of the day preced-
ing the anniversary of the persons birth. The
authorizes are clear and decisive Black
stone says, Vol. /" page 1853, page 1885, Full
age is completed on the day preceding the ami
versary of a person birth" And in a note to
Chittys edition Of 1851, it is laid down, "lf he is
born on the 10th Of February 1905 he is of age to
do any legal act on the morning of the 10 h OF
February 1929, though he may not have lived
TWEEN y-one years by nearly for'y-eght hours
The reason assigned Is. that in law there is no
fraction of day. and if the birth on the last
second of one day. and the act on the first second
of the aceding day twenty one years after, then
twer ty one years would be complete and in law it
is the same whether thing is done upon one mo-
ment Of the day on another" Bouvier's Just
Vol. !. 1873, 5 1888; The time fixed by law
when all individuals of both sexes arrive at their
full age and acquire fully all their political and
civil rights. is the completion Of their twenty
year. But it is to be observed that by the civil
computation of time which differs from the nat
ural computation, man is reputed to be twenty
one years of age the first instant of the last day
of the twenty first year next before the anniver-
sary of his BIRTH He then gives the example of
man born on the lst day of Jan. $780, and says
he will be twenty zone on the 3lst of Dec. 1851,
and on the first instant of that day. Burrill's
Law Die. Full Age" says: "Fu!l age is deemed
10 be completed on the beginning of the day pre-.
ceding the anniversary of the persons birth"
Kent in his commentaries lays down the same
rule, and the same is given in Lord Raymond,
both cite in the places referred to. Hon. Joseph
Baker gave his opinion to the same effect, saying
| there doubt of the law.
