WASHINGTON, Nov 15.-The eligibility of

variety of opinions prevail upon the matter.
Letters have been sent from the Department

Conversations with Judge Taft occasion the
belief that the Attorney General holds that
where one elector was inelegibly elected such
circumstance does not elect an opp osing elector
and that he considers it a rule that while the
ineligible party receives majority he is not
elected to be sure, but at the same time it does
not elect the other party. The principle is that
the majority must rule, and although major
ity of the votes cast cannot make an ineligible
man an elector they we're cast nevertheless
and are not SO void as to give the other man
majority
1t is stated here that the rule in most of the
states is that when there is vacancy in the
electoral ticket the other electors shall fA the
vacancy by ballot. 1t may be that someUpin
ion may be asked from the Attorney General
upon the question, but it is not presented and
