Multitude of plans

1. Subordinate pretence as proof of the pretended impracticability
multitude of the plans of reform.
With much better reason might the multitude of
Candidates be brought held up to view in as a proof of the impracticability of
an Election in any case for this or any other purpose.
By a multitude of persons each coming forward with their
several pretensions, each supported by their several adherents
confusion, disorderly competition and quarrels,
tumult and delay might by possibility be produced
and that the more unworthy inapt the competitors, the
greater the probability of non-election which is
the sort of disorder here in view.
Not so in the case of the an unexpected multitude of plans.
The greater the number of plans received the greater
the chance of one given over apt more or less apt ones and
the greater the chance that degree of aptitude of which in by this
way means a chance is given. Of n By no such multitude
is any ch chance or any chance afforded created
of obstruction of non-election a hundred bad ones
will would not throw any descrided upon one good one:
and the more palpably bad they were the further they
would be from producing any such undesirable effect.
