Free Democratic Meetings.
ANSON BURLINGAME
Will address the citizens If
F1TGHBURG, FRIDAY, Nov l1th,


As the Senatorial Ticket presented 10 the Friends
of state Reform, al the approaching election, con-
tains the name Of but one of the last years menu
bers, give The following brief notice oil the candi-
dates.
At the head Of the list,we find the name Of Elisha
Murdoch, Of Wnchendon, well known as an active
and enerprisiRg business man, in that section of the
county, aud as man Of sound judgment and clear
discrimination. lie has represented his own town
in the House of REPRESENTATIVES, and was, last year,
member Of The Senate, ia both OF which situations
he so acquitted himself secure the respect and
esteem Of hs associates, and the appreciation Of his
constituents.
Rev. Joseph Whitman, Of Milford, who succeeds
Hon. Sullivan Fay, is an orthodox clergyman, We
have not the pleasure OF personal acquaintance
with him, but under stand he is a man ofsuperior
talent and atainmentss ready debater, an ardent
friend political REFORM and one no will do credit
to the county at the Senate board There was
very general disposition in the Convention to re-
nominate Hon Sullivan Fay, than whom, no man
has more faithfully performed the duties Of his of
fee, OF given better satisfaction his constituents,
but the south-easle Extremity of the county claimed
the nomination as right, having had no member of
the Senate for many years, and the claim could not
well be resisted. It's fortunate for U.S. If we must
lose the services Of Mr.. Fay, that he is be sue
ceeded by gosi man.
The third candidate on the list, is DR.. Aurn
Bngbee Of Charlton. DR.. Bugbee is an active and in
teigen citizen, and quite influential ia thai section of
the county. He is ready speaker, when OCCASION
requires and is whole souIed reormer, in the best
of the word.
vi Col Isaac Davis, it is unnecessary TO speak to
Worcester county men. He has been in both
branches Of the Leg sIanre, and n'the Governors
Council, and in each of those positions was active
and influential. No man in the county is better
known 10 the people.
The remaining candidate, Hon Joseph w. Man.
sur, OF Fchburg, was for many years prominent
member OF the Middle ex bar, aud, while there Was
the Democratic candidate for seat in Congress
Since his removal to FIlchbura, he has abandoned
the law and is engaged in The more lucrative, il not
more honorable business Of manufacturing He has
been a member Of both branches of the Legislature
is ready and effective debaIer and, in his legisIa
i've SOWseS WAS ulrilhsulsneu ior MS fairness and
courtesy to his opponents.
Taken as whole the ticket combines as much tai
ent aud adaptation for legislative duties, as any
which has been presented to the citizens Of the
County for many years. II should be elected not
by merely the usual majority, bot DO such an over
whelmiug voe,as will show with what good will the
people are determined carry cut their measures Of
State Reform.

AN IMPORTANT lNvEETIoE.-A patent has been
taken out by French gentleman for the application
OF electricity in the process of weaving silk and
Other fabrics, which may prove great saving, where
the pattern is Of an elaborate character. The rea.
die OF the weaver lifts The threads and connects the
extremity Of each by means Of copper wire, with
current Of electricity either positive or negative at
will, and the result is that some Of the threads re-.
main suspended, and others descend, according as
ibs current is directed To direct The electricity,
series Of points are arranged in line like the teeth
OF comb, each point communicating with an cleo
ho.magnet. The weaver will pass underneath these
polnls,lhe design, uaced in varnish On a cylinder, or
on metallic leaf, IN communication With The bal.
terry. The current III pass only where the yarnisb
Is wanting, and the corresponding threads will re-
sign.

. The enemies of the new Constitution COM
pare the Town system Of representation in Massa-
chuetts with the rotten borough system Of Great
Britain. Its curious fact, that in Britain, the
arIsIocracy have chung to the borough system with
all their might and that the radical relorners Of that
country have gone for its abolition; while in this
State, the Democrats go Cor The maintenance Of
Town representation, and our moueyed aristocracy
are doing all they eau to destroy it, Keeping these
facts in view, let us look at the Constitution Of
British borough, and then at the Constitution Of
Massachusetts town, and see how far the opponents
Of Town representation are correct, when they have
the hardihood to assimilate them
In The first place, what was Bri,rh borough,
previous 10 the partial modification Of the borough
system, which took place in 1892 A borough was
town or city controlled and governed by certain
corporations called crafts. The members Of these
corporations we're called "freemen and bureesses,
and they alone possessed municipal privileges. No
one but fireman" could begin business in a hor.
ough, and ~ one but burgess could vote Tor mem.
bers TO the Common Council. The members of the
Common Council appointed the Mayor and Alder
men, who were Town magistrates; aud the Council.
Board Adernen,and mayor elected the members Of
Parliament The burgesses in many Of those rotten
bOroughs did not amount to 30 OF 40 individuals;
and from those were to be chosen, perhaps, twenty
Aldermen and Councillors who were TO appoint par
iamentary representatives. Those 80 or 40 men
performed all the municipal functions Of The borough,
but the Lord Of the Manor possessed the pOwsr Of
the borough. The burgesses were the tenants and
eudatories Of the arislocrats, whose broad domains
encircled the borooghs; and they either brbed
or brow beat into the support Of whatsoever candi.
date his lordship proposed to them.
The Parliament OF Great Britain represented on
" The aris'ocracy, previous TO 1882, and this ac-

borough system war modified by the Reform Bill,
but not toaty considerable extent, for the whole

Of about 20 5000 amounts to less than sOO,-

is nothing common to the two systems, except that
borough and town may look alike, in their out
ward forms. There is no insoeni, controlling aris-

In G eat Britain, the Tamw orths, Old Sarums,
Cations, and Other boroughs we're the bulwarks of
arsIocratic power the sinks Of political corruption,
and the exemplars Of disgusting unmanness; in
Massachusetts, the vote of even the much beraled
New Ashford is the vote Of men who are too indie

power but that Of principle and COINCIDENCE.

Britain, would do we'll TO pause aud consider wheth
