In vote upon the returns shall become the

cUTT.t 19. in i) rod 11 co uissaitsiacuou uuu iu

made. Such was tho case In Northumbor-
laud county some years ago. This plan
was ndontcd there, bv tho Democracy, anil
nominations mado under it for nn Import
ant election. It turned out that many ot
the nominations wcro mado by minorities
nnon the nomi ar vote. lUls ract, in con.
nectlon with the practical working of the
plau In other respects, prouuceo general
dissatisfaction; tho whole uckci mus nom.
Innted was beaten nt the Dolls, nnd tho Kc
milillcan minority of the county had a sic.
nal trliimnh. Instructed by this experience.
tho Deniobrats of Northumberland county
abolished tbo whole plan, and relumed to
the plan or aclegalononnua'ion, won some
Imnrovemeuts sucitesled by experience.
Dpjn this subject some persons havo
been entirely mlsltd by tho fact that, gen
erally, our election laws allow n plurality
vnio to elect to olllco. The uuestlon occurs
lo therm If a mere plurality vote may elect
a man to an olllce, why may not a plur.
ality vote nominate him to tue same otucc?
The answer Is, because tho primary or
nominating election, and tue legal election
afterwards, stand upon viri different
erounds. Tho former Is to concentrate
tlm naitv vote and cct lid of surplus candl.
dates; tho latter is to test the relative
strength of political put ties, and give thu
olllce to tho party tint polls the most votes
for He nominee. And ln most cases the
most voles, or plurality of votes, ut the le.
sal clettlon, Is also a majority vote. In
fact. It ls to carrv out and secure tho nrlu.
ciplo of majority rules at legal dictions,
that nartv nominations are mado, With.
out them a legal election would become a
pcruli raco for ofilcc, nnd majority rule
would disappear as tbo conlroling princi
ple of elections.
ll is uiurcioro necessary, ami nccoTumg
to sound principle, that n party majority
should nomliinlo lu olllce: either by direct
popular vole, or thtongd n delegalo con
vcntlon, or by both mep.ns combined M
provided for by the Columbia county rules.
Iiiiisniuch then, as tho Ciawford county
plan, In many cases, ileleats mis principio
nnd aires minority nominations, It Is to be
coiuicmucii nun icjccieu.
Again, tho plan felvcs great opportunity
for Intrigue nnd management In nomina
tions, a canuldato lor nomination m.iy
know ho Is In a ralnotity In tho county and
cannot succeed upon his own sticngth nt
merits, but he ran succeed by gelling oul
another candidate to inn and divide up Un
vote in n section of Die cimuly where la
himself Is weak. This can bu managed
thiough nfilend, or by incurring some ex
pense, and thus a nomination bo obtained
lor himself upon, perhaps, one-third of the
whole vote. Upon this plan nlso, by an
adtoll combination of the popular vole In
a few heavy districts, the whole list of
nominations may be controlled, and other
parts of the county deprived of their due
share of nominees.
An additional aud Insuperable oblicllon
to the plan Is. Its tendency to produce
trnitdulent nnd corrupt elections. So strong
Is Hits tendency that some years ago luc
Legislature was appealed to for sovcre taws
to protect tlio Republican prlmaryelccilons
ln Lancaster and somuuthercoiinilcs where
tho plan prevailed. Those laws, (since.

tiunity. There are no leady nnd conven
lent meuus for Investigating u wrong ot
this kind, nor time for doing so before re,
turns are counted.
An additional and important considera
tion Is. that by our present rules of nomi
nation we fairly secure all tho advantages
of the Crawford county plan without Its
evils. There m a direct vote by the peo
pic for candidates, and ln every case where

stringent rule inai no candidate cau bu de

It is also evident, that our present plan ul

Tho new license law went into cited so
far ns tho duties of constables are concern
ed, the moment the governor signed tho
law. It Is well, therefore, to refer to tho
J"llcs of 11,0 constables under the act. Tho
sccllon ot the law which applies strictly to
luem is as iouows:
It shall bo the duty of each constable In
the county to visit at least once In each
month all places within their respective I
jurisdictlonshcro any liquors are sold or
kept, to ascertain If any provisions of this
or any act of assembly relating to sale or
furnishing of such liquors have been or are
being violated, and whenever any such vio-
latlon, it shall bo his duty to forthwith
make written returns of the same to the
court of quarter sessions with the names of
tho witnesses, nnd to do whatsoever shall
bo in bis power to brim? tho offender to
jusllrr; and upon any neglect or refusal of
I olllcer to perform the aforesaid duty,
tho Slid court slinll impose the same penal
tics provided in section 11 of this uct. The
penalty Is severe and imposes a line of not
moie than $M)0 nnd imprisonment for not
mere than two years, or both, tit tla discre
tion of thecourt. Constables will be obliged
to make return us follows: Iudcx boards;
gambling houses; roads and bridges; sales

sell without license, even if Ihey have not
violated the law.
At the same time the constables nro en-
Joined lo report violators of the sections of
the law which provide against wholesalers
or rectifiers selling less thau a quart, or
