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, WKQU0TKT1IE FOLLOWING PRICES 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. Robinson's vote ns compared with Newnan’s shown a plurality of II,- 324; that is, it is so much more than Ncwnan'e; as compared with If/tpsid* vnfo Uniiinonn'a nlnraliftr One Hundred' Men'* Cuss micro Suits. Regular price #10.00, for #6.00. 260 Pairs of Pants. Former price #2 00 now #1.00. 250 Pairs of Pants. Former price #5.00; now #2.00. Men's Cassimero Suits, all sizes from 33 to 42, at 50c on tbe dollar. Four-Button Cut-Awajs at 33 per cent, less than ever known before. Plaids and Checks are all tbe go this season. We have got them in large vari ety, and at prices that place compel! tion in the back ground. 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. J. Waxelbaum & Co. 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. PROPKIETOKS NEW YORK STORE, AjK0.e2ri0Tj.1Sc Greorgla.
