Falls Village, Ct., Nov. 22, 'SS.

MT Dean is not the only person who has indorsed as timely the editorial entitled "The Nations Peril' which was published in THE NEWS one week ago, and yet we are constrained to say that THE NEWS has frequently called attention to the demorallzing practice of purchasing votes; in fact THE NEWS of Nov 24th, 1886, contained an ironical and sarcastical article concerning the buying and selling of votes. Said article was written by one of the ablest and best men in the state. Our readers will recall the article when we state that it was entitled "The Big Bonanza Pro- vided by Some Modern Politicians" and it was signed Patrick O'Shindy."
 We have not taken partisan ground on this subject, neither have we made partisan utterances or treated the case from partisan standpoint. Every intelligent person knows that votes are purchased for both of the great political parties in this country, but we were surprised yet amused to learn that 8 leading republican manager characterized the article in the last issue of THE NEWS as "a democratic vail" We think sad leading republican manager would have served his party better had he character ized the article as republican vail. In the latter case he would have credited the republican party with being desirous to prevent the purchase of votes by either and all parties. We mention thls incident in proof of our statement made last week that "the fountain of all political virtue is the rank and file of a party, not its officers"
 Mir Dean advocates the Australian method of voting. We are not familiar with it's details but we have the impress sion that it is better known by the name of "the secret ballot" By that we understand that each ballot is enclosed in an envelope SO that it is impossible to tell what kind of 8 ballot voter deposits in the ballot box.
 Mir Dean says: Your suggestions are good, as far as they go. but they do not go far enough" Experience proves that our legislators will not pass law providing for, or making compulsory, a secret ballot at elections. Here again the will of upright men is thwarted and we see that we must return to first principles, the fountain head, the rank and file of party, to secure the desired reform. Each political party charges the other with duplicity in regard to the secret ballot question at all events, neither party seems to be willing to assume the responsibility of passing 8 law providing for secret ballot at ou, elections.
 Since MT Deans letter was received we have also received copies of the Hartford Weekly Times of Nov. p and the Danbury Register of Nov. 23 Were this article not already encroach ing on our space we should be glad te nno1e iroQ each of cid nswspapen.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
!. THE NATIONS PERIL"

1.-THE NATIONS PERIL" Editor of Ne,cs:
 Your article with the above caption in the last issue of THB NEWS is very timely one. The subject is one that is being forced more and more upon our attention. A pure ballot is the nations safety. Our grand institutions, so dear to Americans, are not indestructible, as many seem to think, but thoughtful men realize that they are in danger, and in great danger, too, if the sacredness of the ballot can be violated with impunity. We have just had great election, and while we rejoice that so good man has been declared elected President of the United States, our pleasure is greatly msrred by knowing that the election was not fair and honest once. We have had the election, but we do not know the will of the people. And we never shall know so long as elections are conducted in the way they are now.
 What is the remedy? Your sugges- tions are good, as far as they go, but they do not go far enough. We need reform in the method of conducting elections. The ballot was intended to give man 8 chance to vote, without having anyone else know how he votes. And that is the kind of ballot we want now. and to which we are entitled. Such . ballot would put stop to bribery, for no man will pay another for his vote unless he knows how he votes. How can we have such a ballot Several methods have been proposed, one of which has been tried and proved practicable. It is called the Australian method, of which I cannot give the details, but perhaps MT Editor, you or some of your subscribers can, and I hope you will, for believe this method is-to be brought before our legislature this winter, and it IS probably what we want. Let us work for it and not rest until we again have honest elections.
 Respectfully,
 n

The date on the colored slip of paper with the name of the subscriber shows the time to Smith 5juls9 indicates that MT Smith has paid for his paper to July 5, 1889.

No claims for errors in these accounts will hereafter be considered unless presented within thirty days after the payment is claimed to have oeen made, as the receipt of the paper with plainly printed thereon is prima facie evi- dence of its acceptance as correct

 With the busy preparations for the great event of this week, i. @. Thursday s dinner, all other lines of activity are dull, hence the scarcity of news this week.

IHE PERSONAL MEMOlRS Ol r. H. SHERIDAN written by himself and published in the inter- est of his widow and children are now ready and agents are wanted to cover tho entire territory from Maine to California. This magnificent record of the life and doin9s of our departed Hero, pENNED WITH HIS OWN HAND and fully completed on August 2d, only three days before his death, is one of the grandest achievements of his whole life, and on his dying bed he left it as 8 heritage to his widow and orphans. It is the only book or article of any kind he ever wrote for publica- tion. He never authorized or assisted anyone as is claimed by other publishers in compil- ing or writing any other book, and this is the only publication from which his family derive any benefit whatever. Friends of the depar- ted hero will you please call the attention of all canvassers to this fact and if possible per- suade them to make immediate application for Terms to Agents, and territory upon which to sell 1.-THE ONLY GENUINE SHERIDAN BOOK" and thereby confer great favor upon his FAMILY and save your friends from being beguiled into subscribing for the spurious lives of Sheridan: Please address all com munications to CHARLES l.. WEBSTER X CO.,, Publishers of the Genuine Sheridan Book, 8 East 14th St., New York city.

 "I have seen in several of the New England newspapers telegram which says that Hr Frank Burr, who has written a life of Con. Sheridan, was an intimate friend of my hus- band that Gen Sheridan aided him in the preparation of his book and in revising It. The statements thus made are untrue. Con Sheridan was never an intimate friend of Mr Burr, and he not only never aided him In the preparation or revision of any book, but hs ordered MT Burr from his oflce when that gentleman approached him on tho subject last winter. I certainly have no objection to anyone writing of my husband, but whom it is proposed to foist MT Burr's book upon the public by false representations believe that the public will forgive me for appearing in the matter, particularly as am prepared to prove that agents of MT Burr's publishers have represented that am pecuniarily inter ested in their book, representation also false, for have no pecuniary interest in any own personal memoirs which are being pub lished by Charles l.. Webster X Co.,. No. g East 14th Street, New York City,"
