MAJORITY AND PLUBAHTI.
There nppcnro to be considerable
confusion In the public mind re
speoting the terms majority and
plurality as applied to election re
turns. A plurality of votes is the
excess cost for one candidste over
the votes cast for any one of sev
eral competing candidates. A
majority of votes is more than half
of all the votes cast. The New
York Journal oi Commerce illus
trates tho matter as follows:
For Secretory of State, the high
est State olllccr voted for at the
election in Ohio, the votes, as now
officially reported, stood:
Roblnaon, ltepnblican 391,599
Nownan, Democrat 380,275
Morris, Prohibitionist 9,857
Herold, Greenback 3,580
To Sire Yon an Idea of What H?s to
Done, and What Will Be Done,

Total votes cast 785,311
There may have been other scat
tering votes, but no more are men
tioned in the official returns, and
this will serve as an illustration.

WHAT THE STOTT, LAW HAY IIO.
Qov. Hoadly and other Demo
cratic leaders of Ohio arc of the
opinion that the recent decision of
the Supreme Court of that State
declaring the Scott law invalid will
make tbe Slato Democratic at the
eleotlon this week. Under tho
constitution, ns it now stands, a
liquor license is not lawful. Qov.
Hoadly says that lie shall recom
mend the next Legislature to sub
mit a constitutional amendment to
the people. It Is • probable, of
course, that a prohibition amend
ment will be insisted on at tbe
same time. Tbo liquor issue will
then ouoe more bo submitted to
tbe people. It was voted on last
year, when tbe Democrats carried
the Stato by a plurality of 12,000.
It is tiie purpose of the Democrats
to force it into next Tuesday’s
election. Last year ou this issue
the Germans voted witli the Demo
crats. At the October election
this year the Germans returned to I
the Republicans. It remains to be )
seen if they will not juin the Demo- j
orats again on the liquor issue and
reserve the October dcclslou. The
decision in the Soott law case may
eleot the next President.
Morris’vote. Itobinsou’s plurality
is 381,742, it being so much more
I ban the vote given to tbe Prohi
bitionist; but as compared with tbe
total vote, Robinson is in a minor
ity of 2,113, lie having only 391,-
399 and there being 393,712 against
him. Robinson' must have bad
392.Ci>C to have iiad a majority of
all the votes east. It follows that
if, as we stated the other day, the
usual course is held to govern, and
tbe vote ior the highest candidate
on tbe ticket is taken as-a test at a
State election, then n wager that
tbe Republicans would have a
given majority in Ohio, the word
to be taken literally, is lost to the
party on that side. Tbe Republi
cans, therefore, did not carry Ohio
by a “majority" at. all, as they
were shown to lie in actual minori
ty in the Stale vote. An engage
ment hinging oil the “success of
the Republicans’' in Ohio, or on
tiic condition that “the Republi
cans carry Ohio at the State elec
tion,” is secure; so also a wager
that the Republican plurality would
lie over 10,000 votes, or that tbe
the Republicans would beat the
Demrerats by 10,000 votes, can be
held to be won. But where tbe
word “majority’’ has been used,
the parties must agree upon the
meaning they attached to the word.

CONVULSES NEW YORK (M HALL CENTRAL PARK.
OLD ESTABLISHED MERCANTILE HOUSES, WHOSE SOLVENCY WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE FOUNDED ON IN DESTRUCTABLE BOCKS OF
UNLIMITED CAPATAL AND UNQUESTIONABLE CREDIT,
Tottered and .Fell in a Day!
Specially was this true of many large and celebrated Clothing
manufacturers who had made up numerous stocks from materi
als bought on credit. These manufacturers placed their faith
on lively and profitable September trade, absolutely relying on
it for funds to meet their maturing paper, which they had given
for piece goods, but the trade did not come, the continuous
warm weather and no customers cooked their “goose,” and there
was nothing left for them to do but to fail and turn their goods
over to an Assignee. It, was bad for them, but it is in your
power to make it good for you, ibr, as usual, when good goods
are to be sacrificed we are always on hand. 'Our Mr. Joe
Waxelbaum was there, and notwithstanding the fact that we
were already prepared with a stock of Seventy-Five Thousand
Dollars, we bought Thirty-Three Thousand more in Boys, Chil
drens and .Men’s Clothing, Dry Goods, Dress Goods, Fancy
Goods, Corsets, etc., at prices varying from 30 to 60 per cent,
of the actual value. Promptly at 8 o’clock Monday Morning
ill
and itgwill be to the interest of every one in this city or country
to be on hand, for at the prices we propose selling these goods
you were never offered them in the history ol the dry goods,
clothing, boot and shoe trade.

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
Republican editors and orators
have been asserting that business
prosperity prevails all over Ibis
country, and during tbe campaign
have been making a great point of
the statement in order to show that
tiie business interest of tbe coun
try demanded Mr. Blaine’s elec
tion. In order to ascertain the
truth oi these assertions, the New
York World recently sent letters
to its correspondents in the princi
? il manufacturing towns of Now
ork, New Jersey, Massachusetts.
Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
Delaware, and the result is simply
startling. Mills aud manufactories
of every description arc either
practioally idle or closed. A rough
estimate in the principal cities of
tbe States mentioned show that
70,000 men are idle, though anx-
ous to work. This only includes
miners and workers in various
manufactories.—Savannah Times.
A very good test, but why did
not the Timet make the applies 1
tion t Tbe Times is one of the
few Democratic papers in the
South which opposed the reduction
of tbe larifl'. It said that to reduce
tiie larifl would shut up the manu.
factories aud throw thousands of
workmen outoi employment. The
tariff was not reduced, and yet
manufactories are daily being
closed up, and at the opening of
winter thousands of workmen are
thrown out of employment and
left to lace hanger and cold. The
very thing has taken place under a
protective tariff that its advocates
predicted would result from a re
duced tariff. It would seem from
this protection does not protect
end protectionists are not true
prophets.
