The Wisconsin Election Law.

The new ballot law in Wisconsin went
into effect at the recent election in Milwau-
kee, and worked with entire success. The
law, whilc not so comprehensive measure
as that proposed In New York, Massa-
chusetts and other States, is notable as the
fist application of the principle of ballot
distribution bv the State. 1t contains also
novel provisions for securing entire secrecy
in voting. 1t provides for ticketroom and
voting-room at each election precinct, with
hall or passaGe-way between.
The voter receives his ballots from the
sworn State election officers in tho first
room, which only one voter is allowed to
enter at time, and passes alone to the vot-
ing-room, whore he deposits his ballot and
goes out Of a door provided for that pur-
pose. No crowd of persons is allowed to
collect within 100 feet of the polling-places,
and no person is allowed to offer tickets or
solicit votes within the same distance. The
result at the recent election, which was an
unusually exciting one, is thus described by
the Milwaukee iSeaiilcL:
The system Of voting in Milwaukee has
proved a decided advantage over that which
formerly prevailed. Under the old system,
with such an issue as divided parties on
Tuesday, there would inevitably have been
more or less trouble at the polls. Voters
would have been kept from the polls by in
timidation, there would have been knock
downs and broken heads. All this was
avoided by the arrangement that allowed
each voter to select his ballot without inter-
ference, to enter alone the room where the
ballot-box was kept, and which provided for
hispassing out Immediately by another door
than that of which he entered. 1t broke up
the business Of tlcket-peddling, of brow
beating ignorant voters, and secured a per-
fectly orderly and quiet election.

An Important Point.

Discussion grows heated in the Republican
prints upon an important point of personal
temperament in certain party possibilities
Is Ben the Hoosier chillier and more repel-
lent than John the Buckeye! John shakes
few hands; Ben stirs few hearts. Both are
cold, distant and formal. Seldom either
smiles. The rollicking good fellow can not
get anywhere near either of them They
are not good mixers, as tho political phrase
Is.
When this important point of precedence
in frigidity shall have been settled might
not the Republican party wisely extend its
favor to the man of the larger average of
low temperaturel Full play was given to
the unsurpassed magnetism of the most
genial of public men. The gentleman was
addicted to hand-shal1ing. He never forgot
face, and could remember whole diction-
ary full of names. Every body who came
near him, says the Chicago Times, was ap-
parently admitted to the ground floor of his
affections. He was cternally sending kind
regards to somebody. Four kings couldn't
be moro winning than his manner.
No one was apter in the use of courteous
phrases. He saw tho coming voter in ev-
cry towhead. and treated him with consid-
GRAFTON based upon the probability of his
getting into politics. He could got more
men to shout themselves hoarse for him
than any candidate whose proponents ever
delighted in gallery-paczing
Personal magnetism was tried upon nine
million American electors and lost. Per-
haps the party would do well to test the eff
hcacy Of the other extreme. The contro-
versy regarding Sherman and Harrison, s
manner may prohtably be continued.

For Cleveland.

Tho farmers of EIinnes 1ta have struck the
right lead at last. Tho ringing resolutions
adopted by the Farmers Alliance recently
indorsing President Clcyeland's late an
nual message, leave 70 room to doubt
whcro the farmers Of this State intend to
stand on tho t2= II question.
The Republican p.r;icians viii mako
mouths at tho FaFmers's Alliance and call
its Executive Committee al sorts CT hard
names for taking this decided stand in favor
of tariff reform. But that will not change
the farmers in their opinions nor in their
purposes.
One prominent Republican is reported to
have said that if the alliance had confined
Itself to an Endorsement Of tariff reform in
general way, kc wouldn't hayc been set
back so Inuca; but when the resolutions
made an explicit Endorsement of tariff re-
form as cxpoundcd in Nr. C:cvelandis mes
sage, he looked upon it as deliberate pur
pose on the part of the alliance to strike
blow at the Republican party. And that is
probably just what the alliance did mean to
do. The Republican leaders IN Minnesota
have been playing hide and seek with the
tariff for years. They put low tariff resolu-
tons in their Stasc platforms, but manage
70 put high tariff Republicans in Congress
whenever they get the chance. ST. Pdui

Tho Arkansas DeIeCntinn

The news comes from Arkansas, saws the
New York ErsHi'lg Post, that the delegation
which has been chosen to attend tho Ma
tional Republican convention is headed by
our old friend " Pow Clayton, who de-
clares that it will go to Chicago as
"unit." As Clayton selected it, he proba-
bly, knows what he is talking about, and he
will be on the ground carly with his goods
in search of a market. He had great luck
in tho convention of 1884, for the Blaine
managers were so glad to get him and his
unit delegation then that they paid him the
extremely handsome price of the temporary
craftsmanship of the convention.
When there was Natural outcry against
the indecency of putting forward so con-
spicuously this most notorious of all the de-
tested ''carpet-baggers, a very amusing
attempt TO put good face upon it was
made by a Blaine man, who warned the
convention not Ito put down man who
carried an empty Sleeve" the inference be-
ing that Clayton was a SCARED veteran of
the war, whereas the real fact was that he
lost his arm by an accident. 1t is interest
ing to learn that the Arkansas Republicans
who have sent this political scalawag to
Chicago commend Blaine's criticism of
President Cleveland's tariff MESSAGE

A nrIIIionnire.. l,Inn

The talk about tho presentation of Sena-
tor Leland Stanfords name to the National
Republican convention continues. but II
deceives no one. Bad as the record of the
party is for the use of money in Presidential
elections, says the New York Word, the Re-
publican managers would not dare for a
moment to entertain the thought Of such a
nomination.
Stanford himself would as soon mt bis
head into lions mouth az become a candi-
GATE before the people. Imagine a man with
Iss history subjected to a campaign firei
The Pacific Railroad Commissioners, re-
ports, both majority and minority, brand
him as briber in language which admits of
but one construction. Bis refusal to testify
as to the disposal of certain funds is every-
where accepted as confession OF guilt.
1t is possible that this ridiculous conuec-
ton OF his name with tho Presidency is a
device to ward of certain anticipated re-
suits IN Washington. Mr. Stanford is much
more likely TO be working to save himself
from just expulsion from the Senate than
ne IS to be candidate for the Presidency.
1t Is not before Republican or any other
KIND OF political convention that this mans
name should be presented but before a
court OF justice. He is in no situation to
win blun game.

TREACHERY.

Sherman Is Being knitted in All Quarters
i'm Ohio-MaDy of tho Delegates So Far
Selected VIII Not lie with the Senator
After tho Third Ballot - The Head
quarters OF tho Opposition in Governor
Foraker's Office.
A recent special to tho Chicago Tribune
says: All the delegates to tho Republican Ma
tional convention so far as selected inimical
to the candidacy of Senator Sherman are
for Foraker, provided Blaine is not candi-
date. The management of the anti-Shernan
campaign has headquarters in the Gov
ernor's Office, and of the delegates so far
named in the Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Eighth,
Tenth and Eleventh districts there is not a
single one but who has passed muster be-
fore the friends of Foraker, and in every
case tho nominations were discounted here
before the district conventions met
In all of these districts there is not q man
who will vote for Sherman after the third
ballot, or probably the first. A great hue
and cry is continually going up as to how
solid Ohio is for Sherman, but he has not
yet succeeded in placing o true friend
among the list of delegates, and in the
Eighth and Tenth districts gentlemen who
were openly favored by Sherman were do
feated before the conventions. There is
moro political scheming and throat-cutting
going on in Ohio at this moment than was
ever before known in the history of National
politics. If John Sherman knew a tithe of
1t his self-rcspect would compel him to with
draw from the contest within twenty-four
hours in order that he might be saved the
humiliation that is sure TO overwhclm him
at Chicago. he is being knitted in every di-
rection, and most successfully, too, as the
election Of delegates amply shows. The
convention at Dayton this week will family
indorsc him, but the vcneering Will be so
thin that perhaps even John Sherman and
his blind managers may be able to see what
lies beneath.

TARIFF REFORM,
Popular Interest I'm This Subject Incrca.
ing.

Popular Interest I'm This Subject Incrcas-
ing.
Whatever may be the fate of the Mills
bill in Congress it is certain that tariff re-
form can not long be postponed. 1t may bo
because of the prominence given to tho
subject by the President or because of a
growing conviction as to the oppressive
ness of the war tariff; bat from some cause
the people are interested in the subject as
never before. 1t is brought up every
wherein tho farmers clubs, in the work.
ing-men's meeting, in the Board of Trade and
in the daily conversation ON the street Tho
debating societies, young and old, have taken
1t up, and there is scarcely a day passes.
says the Detroit Free Press, that we are not
appealed to for facts and statistics bearing
upon the tariff, TO be used in such debates.
All this Is, or seems TO be, wholly aside
fromthe interest felt in reducing the sur
plus. 1t is understood, of course, that tariff
reform will reduce the surplus, and that it
would be very desirable on that ground il
on no other. But there is a deep and grow
ing conviction that the tariff should be re-
formed, even if there were no surplus, in
the interests of the overburdened con-
sumer. This conviction and tho expression
OF 1t naturally arouse the beneficiarics OF
the tariff to Jealous efforts in its defense;
and the result is that the entire thinking
portion of the community is examining tho
question.
From such an examination the friends Of
tariff reform have nothing to fear "Truth
Is mighty and must prevail" in the long
run II not in the short run; and the ndica-
tons now arc that the run will be short.
When the change comes, be 1t soon or late,
it will be change based upon conviction
and not upon mere policy or partisanship.
When the fallacies and absurditios which
lie at the foundation of that monstrous
structure, the war; tariff, have been re-
moved the people will never consent TO have
them replaced.
1t is well, perhaps, that the result should
be reached in this way through the gradual
enlightenment Of the people; but il is ex-
ceedingly difficult not 10 feel that the people
might have been enlightened much earlier
had the teaching in our schools been what
it should have been. II ought not TO bo
necessary for people to suffer as much as
the people of this country have in the way
of our taxation TO learn that there is no real
prosperity in making the rich richer and
the poor poorer. Their interest in tho sub
ject ought not to be aroused only when
stern necessity compels The rising genera
ton should be interested i'm IL while the edu-
cational process is going on as it should DO
in all governmental questions upon which a
people governing themselves are expected
to have definite views

MIR. Tiiden's Platform.

The Atlanta Consultation makes tb;s su,-
prising statement:
MI 1Hden dictated every word of the St
Louis platform of 1876. The committee did
not change q single line, and they were SEN
slble Tor not doing so. There was no sucb
1oohshness as free trade in il. Nor no sucb
foolishness as 'tariff for revenue only "
dis platform was successful and he was
elected.
we have recently republished the tariff
reform plank of the Democratic platform of
1876 upon which Mr.. Tilden carried New
York and the country, but as our Southern
contemporary seems ignorant of it and it is
good doctrine at this time we give H. ac-ai,
we denounce the present tariff, levied
upon nearly four thousand articles. as n
masterpiece of injustice, inequality and
false pretense. 1t yields dwindling. not n
yearly rising, revenue. 1t has impoverished
many industries TO subsidze few. II nro
nlolts imports that might purchase the
products OF American labor 1t has do
graded American commerce from the first
TO an inferior rank on the high seas. II has
cut down the sales of American manufact-
ures at home and abroad, and depleted tho
returns OF American agriculture an indus-
try followed by half our people. 1t costs
the people tive times more than IL produces
10 the Treasury. obstructs the processes of
production and wastes the fruits Of labor. II
promotes fraud and fosters smuggling. en-
riches dishonest officials and bankrupts
honest merchants. We demand that all
custom-house taxation shall be only for rev
enue.
This terse and forcible denunciation of the
war tariff makes President Cleveland,s
message seem moderate and almost tame in
comparison. The sort of g 'foolishness " that
Mr.. Tllden's platform did not contain was
the demand which the Coastifutioa and a few
other Democratic journals now make-that
the internal taxes on whisky and beer be
abolished in order to render Impracticable
any reduction in the tariff taxes on the ne
cessities OF the people. Mr.. Tilden was too
sound an economist and too good a Demo-
crat to favor such policy as this.-N Y.
