WHAT PBoPLB 1HINK AND SAY.
A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

DID TIE PEOPLE LEGALLY ORDER ONE HFLD I
rx-GoyFRvoR CoHSrLL THINKS so AND TELLS WHY
rome Edftor OF The TrtouHe.
SIR: TaE TRIBUNE, Albany Journal and other
prominent papers assume that the vote in this
State IN favor of q Constitutional Conven-
ton moy be Intellectual, because the affirmative
vote thereon happens to bo less than a majority
in number OF the votes cast for candidates
for Judge of the Court of Appeals In my opinion
this assumption is erroneous and is caused by
mistaken in nerpretation of that section of the con-
stitutlon relating to the subject 10 obtain full
consideration of the subject let me quote the
tion which follows:
At the general election to be held in the year
1866 and each twentieth year Thereafter. and also
al such time as the legislature may bv law provide,
the question. " hall there be a convention to re-
wise the Constitution and amend the sam"f" shall
be decided bv the electors qualified vote for
members of the Legislature and in case n majority
of the eotors qualified, voting at such eec ion
shall decide in favor of a convention for such pnr-
pose the Legislature at It's next session shall provide
bv law for the election oil delegates 10 such con-
vention TART. =, sec. y
II ems clear to me that the meaning of this pro-
vision is that the question of Constitutional Con-
vention sal he decided by a majority vote,
whether affimatIvev or otherwise. of the qualified
eiec ors voting at such election the proposition
involved. and that it does not require a majority
of all voting for state officers
at the same election. The text of
the article above quoted is general in its character
as is usually the case with constitutional law. and
leaves portion of its meaning to be determined by
inference If the trainers of the Constitution had
intended to require affirmative vote of ma
jority of all electors voting at such cleo
ton" for State officers, they would not
have left their intention in doubt.
The only reasonable inference to be supplied
is that only majority of qua flied electors voting
at such election on the proposition ola cOnstitu-
tioral convention shall be required to decide the
question Accepting this conclusion the COnsfitu-
onal convention has been ordained bv n very
decisive vote Of the electors voting thereon.
