THE OREGON ELECToR.-The Portland
OregOntdH of Nov. Is comments thus: at is
re ally surprising TO see so much made by the
democrats Of the question of DIR. Waits COM
potency as an electOr. We have heard sew
eral democrats express what one would natu-
rally suppose TO be the sentiment of all hon
est men: that is, that il would be a shame to
any party 10 attempt to put its candidate into
the Presidential office by means of such tech
ntcality, and contrary to the clearly express
ed will of the people. We know the gentle
man on the democratic ticket who received
the highest vote for elector, and We greatly
mistake il he would even consent to be a
party to such a transaction. The fact is there
is nothing in this postmaster question. The
intention and the proper construction is that
a man shall not exercise the Office of elector
who holds another office OF trust or profit
under the national government. All this
splitting hairs on the meaning OF q word is
childish, when the object OF all the words
taken together, and read by the general con-
text, is obvious. EI-postmasters are not
postmaSteIs now, and they are qualified to
act as electors. Al least this is what the
plain people Will persist in understanding,

Dunbar, Crawford and Miss Jennie Phelps

Dunbar received the largest number of votes
and was declared elected, but Crawford con-
tested the election in the county court of that
county, on the ground that Dunbar was ineli-
gible for the reason that he held federal Of
nee of trust and profit that of inspector Of
customs-and being so ineligible, he (Craw-
ford) having the highest number of votes,

in favor of Dunbar, and Crawford appealed

court below, but remanded the case with di-
