The Quality of Election-Tiolset Paper

The decision in the case of Eli Heiny vs. W.
G. WATSON, which involved the question of the
legality of election tickets was affirmed by the
Supreme Court yesterday Heiny was the Dem
ecratic candidate for county treasurer in 1882,
and was defeated by WATSON by majority of
389 The Republican election tickets were
printed on white paper of quality described as
stiff and elastic, and it was averred by heiny
that they were illegal at does not appear to
have been the intention" states Judge Ham
mond, who rendered the decision s'in section
470I to require absolute uniformity in the bal
lot with regard to grade or quality upon which
it is to be printed. 1t seems to be sufficient if
the paper is plain white, of the width of three
inches. and without distinguishing marks or en-
bellishments thereon except the names of the
candidates. While it would be competent for
the Legislature to prescribe the quality and
grade of paper to be used for ballots, it has not
done so, and in the absence of a statutory stand
ard the court cannot determine the grade and
quality of paper that should be used"

fine stroke OF enterprise by the st. Louis Demo
crat, years ago, when was on that paper The
second prize-fght between Mike McCoole and
Tom Allen was about to be fought A place had
been selected by the pugilists up the river, on
the Illinois side, and reporter named Hobbs
had devised plan by which the news was to be
scooped for that journal The place where the
fight was to take place was six miles from the
river. This the reporter would have to ride on
horseback, after the fight, then cross the river
in a skiff, and get to the nearest telegraph sta
ton, from which to ST. Louis there was but one
wire. To get possession of this wire in advance
of the other fellows and hold it was the import
ant thing in the programme Only one or two
persons about the Democrat Office knew of the
arrangement, which was that Hobbs, when he
appeared on the other side of the river,
was to signal to confederate on the
Missouri side who would rush to the telegraph
station and occupy the wire by sending an
account of the previous fight, fought no great
while before between McCoole and Allen, a fight
of six or seven rounds which was ended by the
crowd breaking the rope and indulging in gem
eral knock down. Mr.. Hobbs's plan was under
stood at our end of the line by one man, who
was to receive this first dispatch and which was
not to be printed the beginning of the genuine
dispatch to be indicated by Hobbs when he took
hold of the wire by private sign of some kind.
BY some mschance the man who was to receive
the dispatch at the Democrat Office was called
away. AS soon as the wire began to work the
news was put on the bulletin boards. All ST.
Louis was interested in the fight, McCoole being
native. Thousands upon thousands of people
crowded the streets in front of the Democrat Office
while the Republican, Dispatch and other Offices
were deserted and miserable in defeat Round
