AN ENPI.ANATION.

Alter the County Executive Commit
to, had declared the result of the prma
ry election for members Of the House of
Representatives last week, some gentle.
men in Anderson asccrtnined, us they
thought, All error in the count by which
Capt. II. Il. Vnndiver would also have
been elected. They reached their con.
c',isioh by adding together the sum Of
Representatives,, and dividing this sum
by four, which would give the number Of
men voting in the !atc election for Rep
rcsentatives III 290S, of which number
Capt. Vandivcr has majority, but
when the single ballots and ballots for
only two or three members are counted,
it increases tho number Of persons vo.
ting in the election TO la-ger number,
Of which Capt. Vandiver did not have
majority. In view Of this compica-
tion and difference Of opinion Mr.. Muir
ray called the County Executive Com
mittce together for Monday morning,
but failing to get quorum, the Com
mittee did not meet until Monday af.
ternoon. In the mean time Capt. Van
diver came to Anderson, and for the
first time heard of the discussion on his
way to the city, as neither he nor any Of
his immediate friends Ind any agency in
starting the discussion. When the Com
mittee met Capt. Nandivcr appeared
before it, and stated that he desired to
say 10 the Committee, in advance of any
action they might tnke on the question,
that he could not consent under any cir
Cumstances to accept an office where
there was the slightest doubt as to his
election. He preferred to run the race
over and let the people of Anderson
County say in an unmistakable manner
whe.h-r ii..y .l"sired HE se-::ccs or i;ot.
Therefore he declined to accept the po-
sition on the last vote, and was still a
candidate before the Democracy of An.
derson County for the position. The
question therefore being disposed Of, the
Committee took no action upon it, and
the election stands as declared by the
Committee. Capt. Vandiver's attitude
in this matter has been that of true
Democrat and patriot. He is unwil-
ling to accept 4 nomination that would
give riso to controversy, and prefers to
trust the justice and judgment of the
voters Of his party.

The canvass Which has just passed has
been entirely harmonious and pleasant !;
no Issues were made upon the stump,
and very few were raised privately upon
the candidates. The canvass WAS
throughout dull, and the meetings poorly
attended. With the large number of
candidates it is not strange that the vote
should have been greatly scattered, and
that only partial ticket was nominated.

interesting than the one which has Just

residence in tho City of New York, that
he was not only earnestly for the liberal
movement in North Carolina, and anx-
ious iur tho election of tho wbolo coali-
ton ticket (Which, Of course includes Dr
York, but that he did not wish his posi-
ton on tho subject to be doubted or mis-.
understood. Thnt is not, or course, any
reuson why any voter In North Carolina
should support the coalition, but it IS u
good reason why the weight Of President

the scale against 1t.
This shows that tho Republicans
North and the Greenbackers and Inde.
penden.s in tho South are in close al
lance, and that the national adminis,ra.
ton is helping the hungry Office seekers
in the South, in order by ruse, to cap
ture these States which the straight. out
Republicans cannot hope to do. II is no
longer disguised fact that the Republic
cans are supporting the Greenbackers in
South Carolina. Therefore nll who vote
