for every name-tickct drawn by his
companion, and hands it to another
of the tcllers. The teller receiving
the name-ticket reads it aloud. and
his companion who receives the cor
responding ticket from the other re-
ceptaclc announces whether it is
blank or not. When the correspond
ing ticket is the one containing the
name of the Office to be filled by the
person whose name was read from
the ticket drawn at the same time
from the first receptacle shall be con-
sdcred the candidate; rs for cx-
ample:
The following ten men having been
nominated ut the first session of the
convention Us primary candidates for
Representative to Congress, namcl y;
Peter Jones, VIM. Shakspere,
Thos Belts. George Brown,
Philip Strong, T. V. Powderly.
John Smith, Ezra Nickle.
Joseph White, John Flynn.
Their names having been written
upon tickets, folded and placed in
one receptacle as before described,
and corresponding blank and nomi-
nation ticket placed in another, the
drawing begins:
1st Drawing, lst Drawing,
John Smith. Blank
I'd Drawing, 2d Drawing,
Peter Ward. Blank.
3d Drawing, Sd Drawing,
t. V. Powderly. Representative.
Thus ". Y. Powdcrly would be
considered the nominee of Organized
Labor, and the drawings would be
continued upon other sets of primary
nominees, until all the final candl-
dates are nominated.
Objection might be made that not
the voice of the people but chance
made the nomination.
TO this it may be answered that
the nominating convention nomi-
mates ten men for each Office to be
filled, having no preference which of
the ten shall finally be placed before
the people for their votes.
The assumption is that there are
more than one or two men IN IA COM
munity fit to do the peoples work,
and by selecting number the NOM
mating convention not only shows
its appreciation of this fact, but pre-
vents the bribery and wirepulling
which experience has proved to be
the accompaniments of the single
nomination plan. 1t removes the
temptation to practice these crimes
against the public voice; and those
who advocate this plan cannot be
charged with seeking Office them
selves by their advocacy.
Under sucha plan we believe Organ
lied Labor may safely 60 into poll
tics where there is reasonable
chance of electing their ticket. Let
it be tried, and put the wirepullcrs
and men of petty ambitions to rout.
Other suggestions, covering the
regulation of voting districts, calling
of conventions by law, etc, were
considered by the Trades Council
committee referred to, but in order
to carry them out there must be
honest citizens sent to the legisla-
lures, City and Town, State and
National. The plan of multiplex
nominations, however, is capable of
adoption now, and the simple effect
it would have in removing the great
est evils connected with the nomina-
ton of candidates bribery and wire
nullinp shOuld recommend il.

BLAINE

The Chicago Sun says that James G.
Blaine has written to friend in Penn
sylvania saying that his political ambi-
ton being fully grati6ed. he has with
drawn from public life for good. If
Blaine ever wrote anything of the kind.
be is guilty of producing strange mix
ture of truth and falsehood. That he is
out of public life-politically at least
for good, We accept as true; that his
political ambition has been graiitied. we
question. The goal of Blaine's political
ambition was a seat in the White House
as President of the United States; he
failed to reach it and therefore his
political ambition has not been fully
gratifed. The political ambition of
American politicians is rather difficult
thing to crafty. Our college students
are pleased with the wonderful story of
Cincinnatus who was twice called from
the plough to serve his country, once as
consul aud again as dictator; and how
after gaining a great victory over the
-@1e-o--Sf "A-SA AANSa Lis COullll lIOm
the danger, he resigned his dictatorship
and returned to his humble agricultural
labors. But as he gets acquainted with
current American politics. he soon finds
out that we have mo Cincinnatus in our
day. The American politician seldom
dies and never resigns-unless his name
is Eli II. hurray-or- withdraws on &C
count OF his having his political ambition
gratihed. We .ess. although the man
from Maine has withdrawn from public
life for good, that If the Republican
party should ask him to be their
standard bearer again in 1888 and call
upon him to come from his retirement
and save the country-why, of course.
Blaine would be in the hands of his
friends. ........

THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.


Some time ago the New York Sun
said that check for 5000. signed by
Editor Pulitzer, of the World, was
iound in the Blaine fund, and naturally
thought it very funny that it should
have been so in view OF Pulitzer's very
pronounced Democracy. Since then
every issue Of the World has contained
at least one emphatic denial that
Pulitzer contributed a dollar 10 the
Blaine fund, and Editor Dana has
been called ga liar" in the World in all
sorts of styles and variations. The Sun
kept on repeating its allegation, and
now comes the explanation, which puts
all the parties to rights and should
make peace between the two great edI-
tors. It seems that one day Mr.. Pu.
liter gave his check for 5000 to r.
Hoe & Co. in part payment for q new
press; half an hour later the Republi-
can committee called on Mr.. Hoe for a
contribution. and he passed over the
check. Pulitzer is exonerated, the Sun
has been indicated, and the harsh
words that have been printed should all
be recalled. .

THERE IS q fine bronze statue of
George Washington on the sub-Treas-
ury steps in Wall Street. and it is ru-
mored that it has turned black in the
face. The cause OF it is, beyond all
questioning, modification. Judging
from the story of his little Ratchet
Washington had very high regard for
truth, and there has been such an
amount of lying done in Wall Street.
that it has turned even the face of the
truthful mans statue black in the face
from modification.

EVEN rRANrs give evidence of the
divinity within them occasionally, by
doing something that is noble. A
tramp walking on the track of the Gin

time heard the roar of an approaching
express train. He lighted a torch, ran
towards the train, and stopped il in

the correct theory that the child ought
not to be held responsible for the time

THE PUBLIC DOMAIN.

The entries and sales, last year, of
the public lands were upwards of twenty
million acres. At taat rate another de-
cade will see all the public domain in
the United States disposed of. as We
have but two hundred million acres Of
public lands that are available for set
Element, and of course much of that is
of an inferior kind. Machinery is now
doing the work that formerly furnished
untold thousands of hands employ
ment, and is constantly improving. and
its power is being employed in new di-
rections which will tend to decrease the
demand for labor. especially of I'M
skilled labor. These circumstances will
eventually lead to a migration from the
over-crowded districts of the East;
men will have to change their occupa-
tons, and not few of them will want
lands upon which to settle and make
homes. Poorly indeed, will our Gov
eminent discharge its obligations to the
people if it shall carelessIy allow the
public domain to slip from its grasp
instead of holding it for the people.
Certainly what remains should be care
fully retained for the benefit of actual
settlers; and wherever railroad cor
porations and other companies have
forfeited their grants, the same should
be seized by the Government and held
for the people. The United States
should take advantage of the expert
ence of other governments in agrarian
matters and not commit the same
blunders that Rome, England and
other nations have. The ever IN
equaled prosperity of the United
States in the past has been owing
largely to the possession of her large
body of lands, and her prosperity for
the future depends on prompt action
by the Government in preserving what
from land sharks and thieves.

aud dropping old ones. As soon
as worn out plank was dropped
the frog hoped onto it, and some,
times found fresh chip on which

promise has fonnd a chip in the
jury Law, and is echoing the Re
publican cry for its repeal, but also
IS claiming that it is Republican
measure. Were It a Republican
measure as claimed, the Republican
party would have still preferred
right to consistency and have
called for its repeal. after learning

! Parties who have lived long in

the state of the mining laws, or
rather the absence Of such laws, 1t
the time Nevada was admitted to
the Union. 1t was the proposition
then, to put up mining ground
owned by the Government at auc-
ton and sell it to the highest bid
der. This scheme was defeated
by stubborn struggle, and today
the mining territory Of America is
open and free to the poor and ener-
Retic as we'll as to the rich aud
great. Any citizen of the United
States may take upa mine six hun
dred feet wide and fifteen hundred
long, and so long as he does one
hundred dollars worth Of work on

from him. After he has done
five hundred dollars worth Of work
on it, he can patent it if he chooses,
