yesterday, only eight chairmen were
present, while we have sixteen town.
ships in the county, also, two schools
under special charters" The import
Of your question is, "Was the cleo
ton legal ?"
The same question was, not long
since, submitted to the Attorney
General of this State. He decided
that there must be majority of all
the chairmen of the School Inspectors
in the county present to form legal
quorum and, also that it requires
majority of all present to elect
County Examiner.
You have sixteen townships and
two schools under special charters,
who are each entitled TO one chair
man with same powers to elect Coun-
ty Examiners as chairmen of the
township boards of inspectors. You
therefore have IS chairmen and must
have 10 of them present to form a
quorum, and having ten present, and
only that number, you must have six
votes to elect.
The Examiner whose term of Office
expired by limitation, can hold over
until the Judge of Probate appoints.
The appointment must be for three
years from the time of your illegal
election by which vacancy occurred;
the law requiring the vacancy to be
filled "for the unexpired portion of
the time" See School Laws 1881,
page 43, latter part of section IL.

1sss-A gentleman in Cleveland, Ohio. has con.
eeived the idea Of establishing bank which will
loan small sums Of money at moderate rate Of
interest, and thus do away with pawnshops. The
movement is in the ihtcre., Of the poor people and
should receive the support Of every one having
any sympathy with the poor. The idea is." he
says. "to receive the pledges which the borrower
may redeem at an amount Of interest no, to exceed
per cen:. per month. In some eases we would
only take per cent, and sometimes, IL the case
should warran, IT, we would make the loan a be-
nevolent one and take no interest whatever. In
some instances We would take the ordinary 6 per
cent. per annum interest. We would, Of course.
use our judgment In these matters: but our inva-
riable rule will be never TO charge any more than
per cent. per month. Another great benefit to
the poor is our determination to balance our books
a, heelose Of every year. and IL we end that our
profits exceed per cent. per annum, We intend
to invest the excess in coal and distribute il among
the worthy poor Of the city"

THE OUTLOOK IN THE COUNTY FOR
THE DEMOCRACY.

II Is an undeniable fact that the Democratic
candidates for the various Offices 20 be 6llcd in
the county this fall are far from being as nurner-
Gus as in days gone by. The sentiment strongly
prevails that a nomination in these times Of indi-
pendent thinking and acting Is by no means
equivalent to election and this no doub, leters
many from entering into the contest and spend
ing their money for what may turn out to be an
empty honor. The Dcmocratic candidates
already in the field not having the canvass. so
far, move as smoothly as they would like to have
IL. Signs Of dissatisfastion appear in the horizon
Of some Of their prospects. The combinations
are no, as suspicious now as when they were FIRST
formed, for personal visit. made to the voters
have developed the fact tina, they intend to vote
for man for sheriff or States Attorney but for
diaeFsn, one from that Of the combination for
either County Commissioner or member Of the
Legislature. This seriously embana.scs the
arrangements Of the combinations and some Of
the candidates, from fear Of the result. are try.
ing to free themselves FROM their unfortunate d.
lemma.
One Of the suggestions IL TO have separate
nominating conventions for the legislative and
local tickets. separate delegates TO each. but both
sets to BE- voted for at the same primary. Some
go far as to recommend the adoption Of the
Crawford county system aud le, each voter vote
directly for his choice Of all OF the caNdidates
in the field for nomination. They are in des-
pcra,e strait. ami il will be Of the mos, difii
