Remarks of MIR. Miller, Of Lee.

Remarks of MIR. Miller, Of Lee,
On the Blu to take an oppression ofpub-
TIC opinion as to the system of boiling,
introduced by Mr. Leacis.
Mr. Miller said he could not agree with
certain gentlemen as to the unimpor,ance
OF this bill. He supposed ii to be a very
important bill: one which deeply con.
Germs the whole people of this Territory;
one which must anxiously concern every
individual i'll society.
Mr. M. asked, what could be Of greater
importance to any free people than the
manner of voting; every citizen is called
upon at times 10 investigate it and act up
on it. He thought it was all-important
for the durability of our republican nsti
tutlons that our elections should be con.
Quoted without fraud or corruption; nay,
that barriers should be erected by law to
prevent the least advance to such crimes.
''ln the multitude Of counsel there is wis
dom. The people in this Territory,
said he, are met together from all the
States of the nation. They have had
practical experience Of the two systems
OF voting, and he had no doubt but that
the great majority of them will be much
pleased to have the opportunity to declare
their particular preference.
Mr. M. said he had always been used to
the practice of voting by ballot, and that
j, was natural he should feel rather par
tlal to that system, but felt satisfied it was
subject 10 much abuse, which perhaps
the other was not. He was therefore
anxious to have an expression of public
opinion on the subject.
Shall we be told by gentlemen (said
MIR NJ that this bill is unimportant, when
it so deeply concerns the purity of the
ballot box, without which the purity OF
our republican institutions cannot long ex-
ist-which so deeply concerns the cleo
ton of competent men to the Legislature,
and the election of sheriffs and other
county officers, who have to do with the
Just administration of the laws, our per-
sonal security and property Surely,
gentlemen cannot be serious when they
speak sneeringly of the Importance of
This bill. Mr. NJ. hoped the bill would
not be indefinitely postponed, but pass to
a third reading.

From the St. Louis Gazette, Saturday evening
Nov. 18th.

New York Election.
From the New York Herald ertro, of
Nov. S, one o'clock, we gather the fol-
lowing:
Great confusion and e;rcitement.-The
accounts received this morning, from all
parts of the country, are of the most as
founding character.
By our returns from Albany and the
counties bordering on the Hudson river,
it appears that in twelve counties, as far
as heard from, Van Buren, has gained
nearly 5000 votes over the election of
1898, when the wings carried the State
by about 10000.
If the central and western portions of
the State indicate similar change, there
can be little doubt but a counter revolution
has taken place, and that Van Buren, has
gained the State. This has been pro-
duced By the abolition party principally.
Further returns will be received to-mor-
row by the boat from Albany. We have
sent special express up the river and he
will return with a budget full Of news.

and sending them to our constituents
without charge, with the expectation oil
receiving, as usual, portion of the pa.
tronage Of this House; but If there is a
determination on the part of members on
this floor to merge all other considera-
tions in that of promoting the interest OF
their own political friends, l wish that
fact to appear upon our Journals and 90
to the people. But. Mr. Speaker, l am
yet unwilling to believe that this is the
case. There are those in this House who
have expressed their willingness to ac,
literally in this matter and divide the
printing between the presses in this city;
gentlemen. too, who profess to be much
in favor of retrenching expenses in gen.
eral; and now there is fair opportunity
presented to them to do both, and stand
up to their professions. And. inasmuch
as the incidental printing of both Houses
has already been given to the Gazette,
and as it may be fairly presumed that
they will not be able 10 execute promptly
this printing, together with that which
they have already received, and as no
share of the printing of either House has
yet been given to Mr. Edwards, believe
that justice 10 Mr. Edwards, to ourselves
and to our constituents, calls upon US 10
give to him this small portion Of our pa.
tronage. shall therefore rely, with the
fullest confidence, that this House will
sustain me in this opinion. These, Mr.
Speaker, are, in brief, my reasons for op-
posing the resolution Of the gentleman
from Du Buque; and l would therefore
move to lay it on the table.

Alter our paper was put to press we

Harrison is elected.

The official result Of the PENNSYLVANIA
election gives Harrison majority of 40l.
He however will get but % of the 80
electoral votes, number of the voters
having struck out the names of Govern
ors Ritner and Shuttle. The number of
votes polled was 100000.

From all the informrtion we have OBJ

following States as certain for Harrison!
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken

making, in the aggregate 229 electoral

should he even get Virginia.
