TUE idea of DIR. HOLLAND introduced
in one of his novels, represent
ing the discovery of forgery by throw
ing up" the genuine and fraudulent
signatures by magic lantern in court,
has had a practical ILLUSTRATION in the
famous WHITAKER will case in Phlla-
delphia. The necessity gave birth to
the invention, which is in the shape OF
a large megascope, in which writing,
engraving, or, in fact, any object, is
displayed i'm accurately enlaged form
upon screen. This machine
has been successfully used in the
examination of altered documents, and
OF altered and counterfeit bank notes.
In legal contests, where the merits OF
case depend upon the genuineness OF a
particular signature, or that of an entire
written document, the megascope,
though dumb, is capable OF giving
stronger evidence, and more reliable,
than the most consummate expert that
eyer took the stand. Placing the genu-
inc and spurious documents side by
side in the instrument, after placing the
screen before the eyes of the jury, both
documents are thrown upon it, so that
the jury may decide for themselves
which is the real and which the fraudu-
lent. The eloquence or ingenuity OF
counsel cannot disturb its story. Thus
it is that Justice seeks to keep pace with
rascality, and in this particular case
seems to have at last got ahead.

THE odds against which the Demo-
Gratis in Ohio are fighting would be over
whelming but for the great popular
strength of the party. In the one item
of campaign funds it is quite possible
for the Republicans to secure practic-
ally unlimited amount of money. JOHN
SHERMAN, by reason OF his financial po-
sition, can command and influence the
largest possible amount OF electioneer-
ing money, and he is politician too
shrewd to lose so important a factor IN
elections as the bank power has always
been to his party. The national banks
can contribute literally to advance the
wishes of such a depositor as the hacker
of FOSTER for governor. On the other
hand, the Democrats IN Ohio have al
WAYS carried on their canvasses with
very little money. Senator PENDLEToN
saws: eve shall spend no money ex-
cept as il is raised in and for localities at
this time, and must rely upon the earn
est convictions of our people TO take
them to the polls and stick to popular
rights. "-ETcbdnge.

RULE OF NATIONAL DEMOCRAT,
&c CONVENTIONS.

Editor oi the Register,
To settle a dispute, please publish in
Tuesdays REGISTEE whether II requires
a majority or twO-thirdS of the delegates
i'm National Democratic Convention to
make nomination.
The rule was first adopted by the
Convention OF 1886, which nominated
VAN buren,, that it should require two
thirds OF the delegates in Convention to
nominate candidate. Ii was the cause
az much opposition at the time, and
aitcrthc Convention, was alleged to have
been devised in the interest OF VAN
buren, and secured him the Homina-
ton
The two-thirls rule was readopted,
however, by the next succeeding con-
vention i'm 1910, and has prevailed in all
the National Democratic Conventions
since that time.
But there has been no convention in
which it has not met with more OF less
opposition. IL is entirely within the
power Of any convention to determine
for itself whether it will nominate 10y a
majority vote OF by two-thir,is vote.
The difficulty has been in ctecting a
change i'm a rule once established and
actrl upon. ANY proposed innovation
i'm the proceedings of 4 political conven-
ton is always regarded with suspicion
bv the different factions \ strong ef-
fort was made in the st. Louis Conyen-
tiun oilS76 to adopt the majority rule,
and iallingiu this apropoSition was made
tn adopt the rule for the convention Of
1880 but this also, was defeated.
There are many reasons why the two
thirds rule, although apparently fair on
iis face, is unsatisfactory anil works in
Justice i'm many particulars, which will
readily suggest themselves ON reflection.
We believe there is proposition now
on foot to have the several State Con
veptions instruct their delegates to the
next National Convention to vote for a
change to the majority rule, and in this
way it may be effected.
