Let it be Repealed.

We mean the present iniquitous cleo
tion law. The Supreme Court of the
State has decided it to be constitutional,
but it is decidedly impolitic. It was
the outgrowth of a reckless partisan
shin and its whole design, judging from
its results, was to defeat the expressed
will Of the majority. The law enacts
that the ticket shall be printed in black
ink on white newspaper and shall not
be less than q nor more than p inches
in width.
There must be no marks-n0 dashes,
no distinguishing marks of any kind.
To our mind ballot that represents the
choice Of a legally qualified voter should
be counted, whether compressed into one
inch or scraweled over page.
There is d case In point IN the recent
election for District Attorney. Oh

Let Newspaper. Go Free Of Postage
Aberdeen Examiner.l

Aberdeen Examiner.
It is supposed that Post Master Gem
eral Gresham in his annual report will
advise against the transmission of news
papers free through the mails, from
offices of publication, on the ground
that the reduction of letter postage that
went into effect on the first of last month
may result in so large loss to the rev.
enue of the postal service as to cause
deficit. This will not in our judgment
be a sufficient answer to the demand
Il was never intended that the postal
service should be a source of profit to
the Government, or that it should serve
any other object than that Of placing the
people of the country within easy and
cheap communication, hence whenever
| il has appeared that it was meeting OF
nearly meeting its expenses, Congress q
once proceeded to lower the rates, fall
| ing from 25cts, we believe, by gradual
PROCESSION. down to the present rate on
/ letters. and shouldering adeficit through
| several generations Of letter writers. u
the taking of Of newspaper postage VII
meet an important public need and tenc

should Be done, and the deficit, it AM
arises, should Be met by petty portion
of the protective tariff tolls laid up0l
