candidates for Office. The moor rman ought
10 nave as fair chance to become Senator
vi representative as the rich man. But
unoer our present system he does not, be-
cause the expense of printing ballots and of
hiring vote distributors is too heavy for him
to bear. Under the Australian system these
expenses will not be imposed upon him, and
he will have fair chance with the rich
man. The Australian system is blow at
plutocracy, and is in the interest of the peo-
pie.
But the Chronicle objects to the secrecy of
the system. 1t alleges that "any good and
true man is not afraid to exhibit his ballot
and openly deposit in the good old way"
We believe that the Chronicle has been ac-
customed to allege that several millions of
good and true men" at the South have been
afraid for a long series of years to exhibit
their ballots or deposit them in the good old
way. Some OF the influences which are en-
ployed to keep these ''good and true men"
from deposting their ballots ia the South
can be used, and are used, to prevent "good
and true men" from depositing their ballots
or such ballots as they wish-in the North.
vi course they are employed here to COM
paratively small extent, but they are by
no means unknown. The Australian system
must inevitably put an end to them, because
knowledge of how person votes, which
must be the basis of intimidation, is unob-
talnable under the system.
But the Chronicle is troubled lest under
the Australian system some kid gloved
Mugwump or dude may be enabled to cut
name off a ticket more easily than he could
under the old system. As the Mugwumps
and dudes are not supposed to be voting the
Republican ticket we can't see why Repub-
lican paper should be troubled by this con-
sideration. As for knitting the ticket, the
experience of Gov. Foraker shows that the
present system affords no security whatever
against that process

some objections answered.,

The Pennington Chronicle informs the
PRESS that country editors donot feed upon
meat, but upon fish. We are not going to dis
pute this assertion, but 1t occurs to us that
If an editor up in Franklin county this time of
year is living on fish, the presumption is that
he is making altogether too free with the
trout brooks and merits the attention OF the
fish warden of his bailiwick. The Chronicle
thinks that the approval Of the Massachu-
sets editors Of the Australian system is not
conclusive proof that the system should be
adopted in Maine. Certainly it is not, and
nobody, so far as we know, has ever asserted
that 1t was. The Chronicle. which had new
or seen the system In operation, affirmed,
without qualification, that it was no
bstter than our present method of voting.
The PRESS quoted the opinions Of the Mas
slchusetts papers to contradict the Chroni-
Gle on this point. 1t seemed to us, and we
submit that 1t vas reasonable view, that
the opinion of people who had seen both
systems tried was better as regards their
comparative merits than the opinion Of
person who had seen but one. We were not
aware, however, at that tims that the latter
was accustomed to stimulate his brain ha
bitually with fish. That fact may lead us to
reconsider our conclusion. On another point
the Chronicle misrepresents the PRESS, let
us hope Internationally. The citation of
Mr.. Blaine's despatch in 1880 alleging in
substance that in three days the Democrats
had turned 5000 voters by the use Of money
was not in response to request Of the Ban
gor Wing to name some good reason for
changing our present electoral system. IL
was In response to request for a citation
OF zone instance In the State where our
electoral system has proved Intellectual,
or where our people have failed to Sc
cure the election of their chosen candi-
dates" The citation was so pertinent
and conclusive that the WING has not
pursued the inquiry any farther. Having
corrected the Chronicles Misrepresentation,
we proceed to consider the Chronicles OBJ
jections. These objections are not peculiar
to that paper, they are the stock in trade of
all the opponents of the Australian system.
There is the matter Of expense. The Aus
trallan system, alleges the Chronicle, will
cost the State $4,000. We don't know on
what the Chrsnicle bases its calculation
probably 1t is a mere random guess. The
only permanent expense Of any consequence
entailed will be for the printing of the bal
lots. The first year it will cost something,
but not lage sum-probably So would cover
1t in the average town-to erect the booths,
but these booths will last a great MANY
years Ballots have to be printed now. so
really the Australian system imposes no per
manent additional expense. 1t merely takes
the burden from the candidates and their
friends, to whom it does not fairly belong,
and imposes it upon the whole people, to
whom it does fairly belong. A great many
advantages will follow this change. The
greatest of them will be that 1t will put all
men on an equality as regards eeoming
