WASHINGTON TOWNSHIP, April IA, 1875.
Mr., EpIroR-I agree with you in the
marks you made in your paper last week about
the delegate elections, and hope the plan you
suggest will be adopted in the different cleo
tion districts. 1t will be very easy matter
for each man. after he has voted for delegates,
to show by his mark a paper containing u
list of the candidates for the different Offices
his own wishes as to who ought to be nomn-
atcd. This paper will be in the possession of
the election officers, who will be bound on their
honor to that double marking takes
place, or any unfair dealing whatever. 1t
vo.l Ice no xrh a nd
object to this plan, or what they may say about
it. 1t is matter for the voters themselves to
decide, and they have right to express their
choice of candidates in any way they please
This plan would shut the mouths of men who
don't deserve Office, and would stop the cry
that they were cheated or betrayed in the con-
vention. 1t is as fair and easy a way of get
ting at the wishes of the people as could be
recommended / have not talked with a DEM
ocrat in this tow nship who is not in favor of it;
and trust the active men of the party in each
district will take hold cf it and carry it out at
the next delegate election.
Yours, &C., LITTLE BERKs.
