. Goshen, n Y, is famous for its snow
drifts, On the l7lh, the Saturday night express
train on the Erie road, which met with the accl-
dent at Great Bend, ran into snow bank two
miles below Suferns, and could not move either
way. Two engines went to their assistance from
Sulerns, but the drift Of snow was so great, that
it took them three hours to get the two miles,
when they also stuck fast. Thus the passenger
train and the two engines remained in the snow
till they could be shoyelIed out in the morning
Some Of the passengers went 10 a farmhouse
near by, and others remained in the cars A con.
ductor had his ears and feet frozen, and MAN of
the passengers also suffered considerably. Some
of the passengers in the train from the West.
were off the track three times during their trip
once on the Erie, and twice on the Western
roads.

THE DAY OF THE ANNUAL ELECTION
SHOULD BE CHANGED tolcoucspond with the
day fixed by Congress for the election of Presi-
Dental electors. This change would prevent the
necessity of having two elections two different
days once in four years In addition to the loss of
the time spent in voting on election day, many
voters reside away from home, and they find 1t
very difficult and expensive to leave their bust
ness and make two journeys to and from the place
of their legal domic, for the purpose of voting
the State and national elections different days;
which, by the Constitution, they are now obliged
to do.
The extraordinary course Of the Governor and
Of the Wing politicians and journals OF the Com
monwealth, in questioning the constitutional
right of the people TO call a convention for the
vision of the Constitution, makes it necessary to
declare in that instrument THE RIGHT OF THE
PEOPLE ORENISE THE CONSTITUTION,
in language which cannot be miScons trued. The
Constitution SAYS that 'the people alone hare
an iacoHteStQJie, i3lalienq5ie and ipdeteaSi6Le
right to institute gore121D2e and to reform, alter
or to totally change tie same, 1Chea thelf prOec-
ton, safety prosperity, and happiness demand IT,"
This constitutional right OF the people must not
be hereafter subject to be limited or qualified by
minority temporarily in power by the suferance of
the peope-a minority which has obtained undue
influence through the operation OF the present I'M
equal system OF representation.
The FREEDOM OF THE BALLOT Is essen
tial to the independence of the voter and the pur
ity of the elections.
The people have right to secure the secrecyo of
the ballot as essential to the free exercise Of the
suffrage. \ warfare upon that right 10y the
Wing minority, now in power, imposes upon the
people the duty Of forever protecting that right
by Incorporating it in their organic law, where it
viii be as secure as the right OF suffrage itself
Other amendments may be necessary to make
the Constitution more in accordance with the
wants Of the people and the spirit OF our Demo-
cratic institutions. For these the Convention viii
provide. 1t is the duty Of the Free Democracy 10
vote for Saeh men, a'1d such men onf9, IS are in
favor Of the Convention, and who VIII no all in
