Waterbury evening Democrat., 1888-11-22

WARNER MlLLER's personal friends are claiming that he deliberately adopted the high license issde of his campaign knowing that he could not be elected over Governor Hill. He did this, say his f'iends, in order to divide the prohibition strength aud bring the cold water men into the re- publican fold in the state, and while they were about it they cast their votes for Har- rison aud Moi ,on too. His closest friends claim that the prohibitionists really carried the state for the republican national ticket, and believing that MT Miller deliberately sacrificed himself for the national ticket they think he has earned the treasury portfolio and ought to have it. Next to Colonel Erhardt Warner Miller should be remembered by Harrison. He ought to have anything he wants. And there are a good many who believe he will get it.

SECRET BALLOT IN CONNECTICUT.

The republican and democratic parties were both committed to secret ballot in the campaign that has just closed. In both platforms were strong blanks in it's favor. And i; the revelations made by the Connecticut Home are true concerning the shameless purchase of votes and iptimida- tion of voters in different portions of the state on November the need of a secret ballot is still further emphasized. There would be little use for using pay envelopes under the secret ballot system, and the occupation of the vote buyers would be gone as well. There would be no assu- rance, if the ballot we, @ secret, that the purchased goods would be delivered, and the purchase and sale of votes would then become a lost art.
 In the Manchester Herald appears com munication from Arthur E. Bowers of Brooklyn, N. Y, earnestly favoring the passage by the incoming legislature of a law providing for a secret ballot. Both of the representatives from Manchester he declares are in favor of secret ballot and will use their best endeavors to secure a law providing therefor. MT Bowers in his communication says:
 The republican party of Connecticut profess to be in favor of an honest ballot and an honest count; and I believe the rank and file of the party (and most of the leaders) believe as they talk. If majority of the leaders of the party aie both capable and honest, what hin ders them from reporting and passing a ballot reform bill at the coming legislative session that shall make it impossible at future Connecticut elections for the man who has purchased vote to be certain that the goods are delivered" or for an employer, or party boss, to scrutinize the ballot cast by the workingman
 Certainly no republican representative, remembering the platform of his party, can consistently oppose secret ballot, and yet we must confess we feel little conf- dence that it will be passed by a republi- can legislature. In the last legislature the republicans opposed it, and we may expect to see them do so again A secret ballot would rob republican manufacturers of opportunities that have been exceedingly profitable to them in past elections, and it is hardly to be hoped that they will be willing to surrender the advantages they now enjoy. If they are in earnest in their professed desire for a ballot that will in sure an honest election. or if enough of them will unite with the democrats in pushing it, we can have a secret ballot in future elections. We do not think there will be democrat in the incoming legis- lature, or in fact in the state, but will vel. come law that will place every possible safeguard about the ballot.

THE CONTROL OF CONGRESS.


 The Boston Herald, which is indepen- dent and preinmently conservative in it's politics, has bee n contrasting the conduct of the republican and democratic parties, in reference to the control of the Fifty first congress, much to the credit of the latter The republicans began by claiming the house to be theirs by majority of from twenty to thirty votes. The democrats were disposed to concede a majority at first, but investigation led them to believe that it would be a small one, and perhaps might not be any majority at all. When they announced this view a howl was at once set up by the republicans that an eff fort was being made to steal the house, and the party leaders got together com mission at the national capital to see to it that republican majority was fixed up. This commission, the Herald says, 'is made up, first, of Chairman Quay, whose record is one of interfering to save men who have corrupted elections of Dudley of Indiana, before the grand jury for attempt ing to brbe at the late election of General Malone, whose course in Virginia is fresh in the public mind, and of General Ben jamin F. Butler, whose aid has perhaps been sought in a professional way" It is a commission in which the country may be pardoned if it has very little confidence,
 The Washington correspondent of the Boston Journal has indicated the methods by which the scheme of controlling the house, whether it has been carried or not, may be worked. It is proposed, accord ing to this correspondent, to disregard en- tirely the legal manner of organizing the house, and to call upon President Harrison to recognize the house organized in violence of law. Failing this, it is suggested that the trick be played of having republican governors of states withhold the certif- cates of democrats elected to congress. Both schemes, says the Herald, twill be futile. It is an insult to the president elect to assume that the first act of his administration will be to aid minority tives to ride roughly over the rules of that body. It is not to be assumed as possible that republican governors of states should so far forget dignity fairness and decency as to keep back the certificates of men whom the people have elected to congress. But this is a revelation of the kind of measures that are under consideration by the men whom the republican party has chosen to act for it in this emergency. As such we invite attention to it. It is edi- fylng, indeed"
 The precedents of the republican party furnish ample ground for belief that they would not hesitate at any means deemed necessary to secure control of the house. A party that is willing to accept offices which plurality of the voters desire to be held by others, as is done year after year in Connecticut, would hardly be expected to stop at any means, however unfair that would secure to them control of congress
 It is probable, however, that the repub- licans have secured legitimate control but this fact will in nowise excuse the readiness they have shown to steal it if necessary.

THE RED BANDANA

We believe in thaa part of Belva's plat form published in the DEMOCRAT referring to education, the lack of which is shown by her grammar. But the demand that every husband buy a Shoninger Piano or Organ for his wife entirely destroys her chances. Oh, Belva, would you destroy family ties throughout our land! No. The Red Bandana will be used for the next four years in dusting such Fine Pianos as Mason x Hamlin, Boardman & Gray, Baus, and Wilcox & White and New Eng land Organs. A company with business stability is preferred to the hireling of a manufacturer who sells Pianos for new ones and few months later claims they were manufactured long years ago.
