The Privacy Of the Ballot.

Mr.. ED1roR:-No doubt a large portion OF
our citizens have felt sensitiveness when de-
posting their vote in the ballot box at the polls
in consequence of being obliged to run the
guantlet of horde of spies who crowd around
the ballot boxes to record the deposit of each
ticket. Such persons are usually mounted
outside the desk, where they crowd the voters
into as limited space as possible, and occupy
their places without law or right to inspect the
ballots of every voter 1t may be that such q
custom is for the good of the community, but
to your unenlightened correspondent it ap-
pears like prying into our private rights as citi
zens, and it should receive the condemnation
of all well disposed persons The outrage Is
not confined to any party, and if excused by
politicians on the ground that this manner of
checking anticipates the counting of the bal
lots by the ward officers, such fimsy reasoning
does not atone for the prying into private rights
of citizens, who should enjoy the privilege of
voting as they may desire without being sub
jected to the scrutiny of despicable spies. If
we have not sufficiency of ward officers to
honestly and correctly declare the ballots, the
system should be perfected, but let us clear our
ward rooms of these worthless interlopers.
We should like to know your own opinion Of
the matter, Mr.. Editor, as well as have the ex-
preston of other citizens. J. B. c., JR.

The Result of Having a Personal choice

Mr.. j. L. Turkey has lately filled the office of
Deputy Sheriff. Saturday he was notified by
Sheriff Sawyer that his services would be dis
pensed with, through regular official dis
charge.
A reporter for the PRESS called on Mr.. Turkey
and asked for his side of the story. Mr. Turkey
replied substantially as follows:
Thursday Sheriff Sawyer invited all his dep
uties to meet him at the United States Hotel.
All responded. The sheriff read them docu-
ment which contained the information that
discipline must be maintained, and urging un-
ion of action. He reminded them that when
appointed it was understood they should resign
if occasion should arise. The sheriff called on
each deputy to name his candidate for Mayor.
All responded in favor of Mr.. Deering except
Mr. Turkey He was for Mr.. Libby. The sher-
iff said he did not assume to control Mr.. Tux
ey 8 vote, but thought he talked too much, and
ought not to work for Mr.. Libby. Mr.. Turkey
asked if he neglected his duties. The sheriff
replied no, that he did his duty well. Mr..
Turkey then said the sheriff must discharge him
for he should not resign. Friday the sheriff
again urged Mr.. Turkey to resign, in vain, and
on Saturday he discharged him, at the same
time expressing his personal friendliness.
Sheriff Sawyer left for Standish Saturday
before a reporter for the PRESS saw him. 1t is
understood however that Mr.. Sawyer claims he
was elected sheriff by the opposition. That the
deputies appointed by him understood, when
appointed that they were representing the op-
position. That Mr.. Turkey has right to vote
for whomsoever he pleases, but it is absurd to
suppose that any sheriff could have deputy in
the office, in such familiar relation, with all
the plans and movements of the party open TO
his gaze, and at liberty to make use OF them
for the benefit of the enemy and thus defeat
the very party that made him.

There have been very few, if any, more pleas
ant, interesting and profitable occasions that
that which occurred on Friday evening last
by the visitation of the Veteran Association to
Ligonia Lodge This lodge is one of the old
est of the order in the State (being No. -, or
ganized in 1s43 and embracing among its orig
inal members many of our then prominent
citizens, viz, VIM. Pitt Fessenden, Nathl. f.
Deering, Geo. f. Shepley, VIM. Boyd, Edward
Fox, Stephen Waite, Jedediah Jewett, An
drew T. Dole, Edward P. Gerrish, Jos. G.
Moves, Josiah S. Little, Josiah B. Scott, Thos.
r. Jones, Danl. L. Choate, and many others
who have passed away, and to whom special
reference was made in the remarks of Past
Grands Little, Hersey, Kingsbury, Barnes,
Ladd, Cummings, Munger and others of the
Veterans, and also by P. g. Woodman, Crock
EFT and others of Ligonia Lodge. This lodge
has passed through many reverses, but it is
now one of the strongest as to members and
finances in the city, having $50 members,
chiefly of our most active and enterprising
young men, with an invested fund OF more
than $50, 900, with which and its annual income
an immense amount of good is being done in the
relief of the sick and dying of its members.
These visitations of the elder with the young
or brothers of the order is calculated to do
much in cementing them together and in pro-
noting the best interest of this valuable insti'
tuition.

Attention Republicans !

Many voters have lost the privilege Of voting
by inattention to the revision of the ward lists.
Mistakes in the initials of names or like errors
have barred many from the polls. All Repub-
licans should see that their names are on the
voting lists-and on correctly. Look at the
lists, and if any error be discovered have 1t
righted by the aldermen in session.

Square, Saturday afternoon and evening, to
get at an expression of opinion as to the best
course to pursue in regard to a Democratic
nomination for mayor. Hon. Geo. Walker
presided, and A. L. Farnswerth was secretary.
1t was the opinion of Capt. @. FL. Chase, Sher-
if B. F. Andrews, and others of the Fusion
element that Mr. Deering would be the best
candidate, that is, would command the most
votes A number Of other gentlemen, well
known Democrats, asked many questions as to
the grounds for that belief, although not. ex-
pressing any opinion of their own. Finally
resolution was passed, without dissenting
voice-as one element of the meeting appar-
emily had everything their own way-advising
the nomination of John w. Deering as Demo-
cratic candidate for Mayor.
