REPRESENTATION OF MINoRIrIEs. Mr..
Buckalcw, formerly .. S. Senator, but now
Pennsylvania state Senator has succeeded in
MATCHMAKING a system Of voting, whereby Mi
porities acquire voice in the administration Of
pubic afsis. Having obtained the passage OIL
an act by the Legislature to put the plan in
operation in his native town, Mr.. B has suceee
ded in haviDg an election in the borough of
Bloom slurg, which proved successful 10 carry
ing out the system. The principle is thus ex.
planned by section of the act
'Wljen six persons are to be chosen, each
voter DAY give one vote to each of six persons,
or one vote and half to each of four, two
votes TO each of three, three votes TO each OF
two or six votes to one.
Accordingly two sets of candidates were NOM
mated. Citizen and democratic" and the
election resulted in the choice of "Ctizen"
Mayor and al equally divided Council. Under
the old system the "Citizen' party being in
the majority, would have elected the whole
ticket, but by this new system the minority
has representation of half the Council, which
is rnuch tairer reflection Of the popuia will.
TIE question of representation ct mlnorltles
has Keen discussed for some time, but this, we
believe. is the first occasion on which it has
been put to practical test.-Pstcrsbrg Courier.
