Herald applauds the misfortune of
no one. and it is not tiekled ever the
fact that Mr.. Hambly, the Republic
an nominee for Senator from tho
Hopkins-Chnstias district, will lose
his seat in the Senate because he
failed to resign as member of the
Christian Fiscal Court before being
elected to the Senate. We just men
toned the fact that il was a pity
that some Of the legal lights of Ohio
County, who engineered the deal in
keeping the Democratic nominees Off
the ballot, could not have EXTENDED
their scope TO their sister county and
notified Mr.. Handy TO resign. The
Republican says "here is a case
where common decency, 10 say moth
ing of observation-disclosures demands
that a fairly elected official should
not be deprived of his office upon a
technicality." aye gods and little
fishes" Common decensy and broad
mindedness! What do you call the
deal handed the Democratic nomi-
nees? See anything that resembles
common decency and broadminded-
ness in il? No, there is not the first
semblance of common decency, broad
mindedness nor fair play when more
than 5000 people are virtually robbed
OF their right of suffrage, and this is
what happened when the Democrats
were kept OF the ballot by a mere
technicality, and nothing more. Had
The Herald upheld a raw deal like
that given the Democrats as did the
Republican, we would never mention
decencT observation-disclosures or any
thing else psrtsning TO fair play.

The Hartford Republican says thai
in Mr.. Robertson's majority in North
ROckport is 81 votes given him
through an error Of the election Off
GERS. We are inclined to the opinion
and believe it would be verified were
the ballots of that precinct recounted
that M. Blankenship should have
received 90 votes there instead OF 83
II is reasonable to SUPPOSE that the
mistake was made in scratched
ballots, and that when a voter stamp
ed under the Republican device and
then crossed over TO Robertson, that
the ballot was counted for both wher
il should have been counted for the
straight Republican ticket except in
the Clerks race. North Rockport
had an intelligent, upright set OF
election officers. but a mistake SINH

and there is no reason why il could
not occur again.
