In Kentucky there is strong sentiment In favor
OF return to RIGA roce voting. Prominent men OF
Virginia have also come out in advocacy Of this
method as the surest way of securing a free bal
lot and fair count 1t is c0ntended that the secret
system Of depositing written or printed ballots
oilers many opportunities for cheating that would
be e1ectualy cut of IL the voter were permitted
to SO the polls and name the men Of his choice.
That, however, Is only one view of the case On
The other hand it is TO be said In favor OF the bal
1ot-oox that that form Of voting enables every
voter to vote as he pleaseS. without prejudice or
Tear OF intimidation or perseetion from any quar-
ter The objection to the rira roce system is that
this result Is not always possible where all the
world may know how each man votes. AS be-
tween free ballot and an open one the former is,
therefore, likely to prevail, generally, in this
country.

The straightout republicans OF Virginia have
decided TO put up candidates for the legislature In
au the counties, so to poll tie full strength OF
The party, and keep up the organization, even
where the numbers are small The straightouts
have gained an advantage over the coali,ionists
In planting themselves squarely upon civil service
reform In this respect they are in accord with
the ruling sentiment OF the country, and their
position will be OF value TO them in the fight next
year for representation in the national conven-
ton.

The telegraph strike has reached the end that
was plainly foreseen for the past few days The
operators have been compelled to seek employ
nent unconditionally,-toa accept such terms as the
companies may impose. In returning to their
keys the strikers are fortified with the consolation
Of having fought q good fight, in an honorable
manner, and Of having enjoyed the sympathy and
won the good will OF the public. In their hour Of
defeat they exhibited manly consideration for the
weaker OF their members, which Will add to the
public respect for them. The men held back and
gave the women the first opportunity 10 get en-
ployment. One OF the managers OF the New York
Office said last night that many OF the best op
orators had not yet applied for reinstatement, be-
cause they wanted to see the ladies provided for
first The Western Union has apparently learned
nothing from its recent experience. It's policy Is
To make the return OF It's employees as humlliating
IS possible. One superintendent boldly declares
that those who were active In the strike shall not
return to work under any conditions. But the In
dications are that before many months there will
be employment for competent telegraphers out
Side OF the Western Union. 1t has been made
plain that competing telegraph service with adj
squate facilities will pay, and capital is almost
certain to occupy the field. II the Postal COM
pany fails to meet the public demand for an active
rival OF the Western Union, there will be others,
perhaps, ready to grasp the situation and make
use of It
The coming New York election will not I'LL any
positions OF great political importance. 1t is,
however, regarded as the preliminary struggle for
the control of New York's electoral vote next year.
and hence there Is great activity in both parties.
The offices to be filled secretary OF state con-
tro!ler, treasurer, attorney general and engineer
and surveyor. All the present incumbents except
the treasurer are republicans, and there Is
pretty well organized movement to renominate
them, as the best way to avoid internal strife.
This movement is, however, bitterly opposed by
some OF the leading republican papers, and the
Chances Of the 'old ticket" slipping through are
growing smaller The republicans now have
through the state officers whose terms are about
TO expire, control OF the canal board and the
patronage 1t dispenseS To retain this patronage
al as some Zest to the canvass, though the presi-
DENTAL battle is the overshadowing question. Re-
publican defeat next November would presage
loss or New York next year,-a loss likely to be
fatal TO the party. 1t is to avoid such disaster
that the stalwartS and half-breeds are coming to-
gether for one more united effort. The democratic
factions have arranged truce which promises to
secure harmonious action, and the republicans re-
allze that continued dissensions among them
mean certain defeat

Stolen Postal Notes

We notice that the po-t>office at Junction City, Ono, has been robbed, and that the thieves took all postal notes as well as th4 dating stamp and punch. so that they can issue the notes themselves. We are glad that one punch has disappeared, , and hope other offices will he ins structed to throw theirs away and to c,t the notes, so as to afford some security. Look ont for postal no cs numbered to 500, issued by post office at Junction City, Ohio. As no provision has been made to pre- vent he alteration of numbers, as is done on bank and treasury notes, it will not do to rely upon the numbers, as they will undoubtedly be changed before they are circulated .-Ee.

The Gdzette by invitation from a gentleman from Me>a City makes the following elegant re raciIon in the weekly edition which is paper not of general circulation here in town. When our contemporary does snch pretty things it ought to be willing to le, the town know snme- thing about.-"A letter from Bishop Mcdonald of Me.a, in reply to an article that appeared in tbis paper on Friday last, states that we were TOO severe on him. As no in ult in any sense of the word was intended toward the Committee of Safety or the citizens of Phoenix, says he is satis jed all have done their duty and they were trying to do the same. With such a letter of explanation from MT. Mcdonald we do not hesitate 10 say we made 8 mountain out of a moleshill, and misconstrued the meaning of his former note, which we are now satisfied was only intend for good rather than evil pur> poses.''
