POPULAR GOVERNMENT IN BROOKLYN.

POPULAR GOVERNMENT IN BROOKLYN
Attention has been directed anew to Mr..
Chapin's bill in relation to primary elections in
Kings County, because of the biazen and law
less attempt made to compass its defeat. The
bill passed the Assembly few days since, the
Speaker certified that it had received the re-
ouisite number of votes, and it was sent to the
Senate for concurrence Directly it had
reached the Senate it was discovered that the
Speakers signature had been carefully erased.
The consequence of this alteration was to leave
the bill in a shape in which the Senate could
not act upon it. Had the erasure not been
noticed and the bill been passed by the
Senate and signed by the Governor, 1t would
have been fatally defective-wOuld have pos
sessed no binding force. AS it is the perpetIa-
tor of the outrage had his labor for his pains.
committee of the Assembly is now engaged
in investigating the matter, and 1T is to be
hoped they will succeed in discovering the
guilty person, and that adequate punishment
NAV follow conviction.
The fact that such outrageous methods were
EMPLOYED to circumvent the action of the AS
sembly on this bill may be regarded as show
ing that it does not meet with the appreciation
-
the erasure are placed in possession of another
valid reason why it should be passed. Thus
does wrong sometimes unintentiOnally play
into the hands of right. What is the Chaplin
bill which has been resisted in this extra
ordinary manner7 1t provides that at any
primary any person who falsely personates and
votes under the name of another, or without the
right 50 to do, or obstructs and prevents others
from voting, or wrongfully deposits ballots III
the ballot-bOx or commits any other fraud
tending to defeat the result of an election,
shall be deemed guilty of misdemeanOr. The
presiding officers or inspectors of primaries are
to be sworn with the same oath as is admins
tered to the officers of a general election, and
they may administer the oath to any person
Offering 10 vote. False swearing is declared TO
be perjury, punishable according to the law re-
lating to perjury. The vote Of any person may
be challenged and rejected unless he he sworn
as to his qualifications as "A voter and any in
spector, teller or canYaSser shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemean0r who receives the vote
of a person not entitled to vote, or who campers
with the ballot-box. The punishment prescribed
for the misdemeanOrs mentioned III the act is
fine of So, 900 or imprisonment for term of
three Years, or both the fine and the imprisOn-
ment Such Is the gist OF the Chaplin bill. 1t
will be seen that there is nothing III 1t that any
citizen of Brooklyn who is partial to honest
elections can object to. 1t is safe to say that

by his arrest last October was great, so was
the emergency. Mr.. Gladstone had to choose
between imprisoning him and abandoning the
Land act. Singulary enough, after seven months

of abandoning the Land act. He arrested him III

has released him in order to get his aid III
modifying it so as to overcome the secret pre-
JUDGE and open resistance of the tenantry. we
can only express our relief that political neces-
sty, in the judgment of great-hearted, broad
minded statesman. no longer implies equivocal
methods of physical repression. Two things
were imperatively needed last October {: courage
and an unerring forecast. The inevitable
criticism upon the present situation is that In
one way or the other the Liberal Government

primaries of the city of churches, and who pos
sesses the average BOSS freedom from "senti-
mental" scruples, put up the job that led to the
erasurc of the Speakers signature. His pro-
found disgust at the failure of his pretty
scheme can well be imagined. He will have
the heartfelt sympathy of every repeater ana
ballot-box stuner in Kings County.
We lately took occasion to give digest OF
the bill in relation to primary elections when
was presented by Mr.. Hickman. 1t embraces
the best features of the Chaplin bill, but Is
wider IN its scope and follows different plan.
Ii commended itself to the Judgment OF many OF
the ablest and most experienced OF our puhiic
men. but encountered sufficient opposition IN
the Assembly TO prevent its success this year
MANY of the friends OF honest primaries IN the
LEGISLATURE. finding that it could not go
through. were in favor of making the ChapIn
bill apply not only to Kings County but to the
entire State. Mr.. Chaplin, however, realiz-
ing that many a bill has been defeated IN the
attempt to enlarge its provisions, was unwlil-
ing to have his bill thus amended and secured
its massage in its original shape. Other bills OF
similar general purport are now pending In the
Legislature, but it is probable that this bill Tor
Brooklyn will be the only measure that gets
through this year. II cannot fail to have a
wholesome effect upon elections in Kings
County, and if it fulils the expectation OF It's
friends n general law will be passed at HI carly
day, probably at the next session.
