"IMPERTINENCE."
Judging by the attitude of .6om'e of the defeated candidates appear to hold the 'idea that an elector who casts his vote in their favour becomes in some unexplained manner subject to'their wishes. ."It is a little amusing;" writes a correspondent, "to read all this stuff about defeated candidates telling, voters who voted for them how to vote at the second candidate who is favoured by the . vote cannot exercise an untrammelled judgment? Surely : it is the height of impertinence for a candidate, who is ' favoured by the vote of an of an elector, at; fie first ballot to pretend to tell that elector that he (the elector) is not wise. enough to choose for himself whom he shall vnte for at the second ballot. It is indeed time.that the second ballot was 'passed out.'"
