The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1880-04-15

ALTHOUGH the English government has
discarded the UiUe UOce method of choos-
ing officers, their system of alloting diff
fers great deal from ours. No conven-
tions are called to make nominations.
Eight persons are sufficient to formally
place candidate in the field.
The names of all candidates are placed
on the ballots to be voted and blank
square is placed after the name of each.
The voter indicates by a cross in the
blank space the person he votes for.
Another difference is in the elections.
The people may vote for any eligible per-
son whether he resides in the county,
borough or city entitled to representa-
tive Or not. 1t often happens that can
dida-e is chosen to more than one seat,
as in the case of Gladstone this spring.
He may then choose which constituency
he will represent, and special election
is held for the other seat.
La the United States we speak of a per-
sons running" for congress. In Great
Britain and Ireland they ''stand." But
their standing" and our running" are
identical.
\ member of parliament may have but
very few constituents. When this is the
case the landlord virtually names the Of
ficer. Corruption in elections is much
more common there than here, bribing
being as common as treating by the aver
age American politician. 1t is difficult
matter to say which system is not the
worse,
The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1880-04-15

THE case of cadet Whitaker is very
curious one. There are so many that be-
lieye Whitaker mutilated himself to es-
cape examination and the failure which it
is said was sure to follow, that the sup
position cannot be lightly dismissed. The
physician who examined him and the Of
ticers Of West Point are certainly of that
opinion. But there are others who be-
lieye that the brutal treatment he receiv-
ed was the work of fellow Students
Voorhees, in his speech in the senate rid
icules The idea of the cadets cutting his
own ears and tying himself up in the
manner in which he was found. But the
New York Tribune, ever ready to put the
worst possible face for southern people
upon every matter, gives the opinion that
the barbarous treatment was inflicted by
southerners. At time when democrats
and republicans are denouncing this in
famous instance of hazing, if such it is,
| the Tribune wants to make little polit-
zeal capital out it by stirring up sectional
feeling.
