Editor Morning NelrS; In voting at
an election The voters name is called and
also number. This number is put upon
the ticket voted, thereby exposing the
voters ballot. In the above method there
is no secrecy in the ballot. thereby de-
strOylng the purpose tof which The ballot
was intended. Is the above method cor
rect? VOTER
There is no exposure OF the ballot by
numbering 1t. There are the same num-
oers for each ballot box, and no person
has the right to compare the number on
the ballot with the number on the list of
names. The ballots, after being counted,
are sealed and deposited with the Clerk
OF the superior Court, and ii there is no
contest the law requires the destruction
OF the ballots by fire at the expiration
of sixty days after the electiOn.-ED.l

WAR IN JAY GoULDs CAMP.
Western Union Stockholders Dissat
isfied with His Policy.

" Western Union StoCknOlOerS DISSat-
isfied with His Policy.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Connected with
the recent rise in Western Union stock Is
the interesting rumor that little knot OF
capitalists are buying for control of the
property. 1t is currently supposed that
Jay Gould owns a controlling interest,
but this is not true. His present hold
ings are 100000 shares, while there are
500, 600 shares in all. 1t would be COM
paratively easy, therefore, for a syndicate
TO take the control from Jay Gould,
especially if Russell Sage or some other
holder of big block of stock were TO
join the movement. Sage is not likely to
do so, however. lie is loyal to
Gould in all things, and more than once
has gone down deep into his pocket to
help Gould out when ready cash was
needed.
Certain it is, however that some big
Western Union stockholders and direc-
tors are getting ready to protest against
the present policy OF trying TO starve out
the opposition at the expense OF Western
Union profits, and ii the kickers get any
encouragement there will be lively times
at the next election. Mr.. Gould, it seems,
has become tired of buying up opposition
companies. The old Mutual Union Tele-
graph Company obligations are a tre-
mendous drag on the Western Union
Company, and the American Union and
the Atlantic 81 Pacific are remembered
when the interest on their bonds
comes due; 90 1t has been plain that
Western Union cannot shoulder any more
weakened companies-or at least Will
not.
At present the telegraph war RACES at
ruinous rates tor all companies. Between
the chief commercial cities 10 and IS cents
ia the price of a message, against 80 or rs
cents TWO years ago. There is no profit
in this business, and it comprises the bulk
OF the day work. Mr. Goud's theory mas
bsen thatthe opposition companies would
have to 20 under, but the dividend party
urges that the country is on the eve OF
commercial prosperity and that there will
be business for all. IL proposes a CON-
bination or pooling arrangement, and
the ousting OF the Goulds from the mau-
agemeut, in order that some sort of deal
may he made.
There are rumors, too, of movement
against Gould on the part of the holders
OF the Missouri, Kansas & Texas rial
road securities, the accusation being that
the properly is continually m'lked for the
benefit Of the Missouri Pacitic. 10 when
it is leased. A large proportion OF the
stocks and bonds of this company are
owned IN Amsterdam, and from these
would come the trouble il there ~ anv.
Mr. Gould holds very littlo Of Inc stock
and very few OF the bonds. Attempts to
Dust Mr. Gould from the control of his
properties have. howey +, as q rule, been
overwhelmingly unsuccessful.

youths and boys, will have TO come TO
buy their clothing. One of the foremost
in rank (Judging by the patronage re-
ceived) is the Famous New York Cloth
ing House, l40 Congress street. Some
wonder at the large trade this house has,
but every body may know the secret OF it,
which is, the constant watchfuiness of
two of the firm in New York for bargains
In piece goods, which they manufacture
into clothing such as this market calls
for, and enables us not only to sell 10 con-
sumers direct for less price than other
dealers buy them at, but also to please
our patrons better by having better
trimmed, better made and better fitting
clothing, thereby saving TO customers the
annoyance and expense of a tailor, al
though We pay a tailor by the jOb Tor
sueh alterations. as the greatly dispro-
portlOnate shapes in few instances may
require. Our stock OF Fail Clothing is

ROCKVILLE, ONTARIO, CANADA, Dec
2, 1SS5,-I have used BRANDRETH's
PILLS for the past fifteen years, and think
them the best cathartic and anti-bilious
remedy known. For some five years
suffered with an eruption of the skin that
gave me great pain and annoyance. l
tried different blood remedies, but, al
though gaining strength, the itching was
unrelieved. l finally concluded to take a
thorough course of Brandreth's Pills. !
took ak each night for four nights, then
five, four, three, two, lessening each time
by one, and then for one month took one
every night, with the happy result that
now my skin is perfectly clear and has
been so ever since. ED. XRNNEY.
