I thank the gentleman. The qualifications for voters. Mr. Speaker. are prescribed in another section of the constitution. which declares that naturalized citizens of the United States shall e qualified to vote. The other section which I have referred to is a section of the constitution which does not seek to determine the qoialilfications of the voter. but regulates the manner in which he shall establish his qualification before the election managers if challonged. Taking that rule of exclusion. and yet Fiuley is elected. But exclude these 74 votes. which we say are clearly legalvotes. but concede because they did not present their papers they are not to be counted.-and Finley is elected by a majority of 56 votes.
