THE MAN WHO DID NOT GET IN.

DEAR SIR,--I gladly find time to answer the question,--"How did I win

Evesham?" I won it because, whilst my opponent got only 3,585 votes, I

polled 4,760. As 3,585 is, even to the naked eye, distinctly less than

4,760, I was declared elected. In my humble judgment--though I freely

admit that I am an interested party--the Returning Officer took the

only course that was open to him.
