The United Labor League, saws
the Union of Oct. 20, 1889, some time
ago, sent a communication to Henry
h. Boyer, late Speaker of the State
House OF Representatives and the Re.
publican candidate for State Treasurer,
asking him to give his reasons for
voting against the Ballot Reform bill
introduced at the last session of the
Legislature. To this request, Mr..
Boyer has made no reply, and the
League, at its last meeting, adopted a
series OF resolutions, asking organized
labor to mani fest its displeasure at Mr..
Boyer's action
The Ballot Reform bill was one OF
the most important measures before
the last session Of the Legislature, and
It's defeat was public calamity. Mr..
Boyer Is the FIRST or the opponents OF
this measure that the lovers Of honest
elections have had a chance TO express
their opinion of. and it would be a
warning which the political bosses
would not dare to pass unheeded IL Mr.
Boyer were allowed TO continue the
practice OF law unhampered BY the care
OF the finances OF the State.

Tor Speaker. OF the 169 members of

VICE PRESIDENT MORTON, last week
took out saloon license in Washington
ID. G. for his new hotel. a Washing
ton special says There is no doubt
that the incident OF the opening OF the
Vice Presidential saloon has caused a
good deal of annoyance to the Anminis-
tration. Tie President is annoyed and
angry, and so is Mr.. Blaine, while the
pious superintendent OF the Bethany
Sunday school at Philadelphia Is horri-
fed but as Morton did not expect the
direct patronage os these gentlemen
anyway, he feels easy with the assurance
that the working and drinking men OF
the party will back him up.v

A YEAR ago Judges Allison and Ar
mold ruled, during the trial OF an cleo
tion case in Philadelphia, that election
boards are justified in refusing the
votes OF men whose taxes have been
paid for them with money not their
own. A man must pay his own tax. Il
cannot be paid for him, unless he re-
funds before the election the amount
expended in his behalf. 4 tax receipt
presented TO an election board by a DO,
l'tical committee, or its representative,
In oshaif OF a man offering to vote, as
evidence that his daes are paid, is
pTtnld Tdcie evidence of illegal payment
OF ths sax, and the board is justified in
refusing to receive such vote. This is
exactly what Judges Allison and AR.
mold ruled. The practice of buying tax
receipts at wholesale and giving them
TO voters is illegal. A voter may be
questioned as to whether he has paid
his own tax. or whether II has been
paid for him.

WHAT about ballot reform Neither

dares TO discuss il.
What about Treasury reform Mr..
Boyer and the Republican press are as
silent as clans on the subject.
What about the fraud perpetrated by
the late Republican Legislature In i'm.
posing an immense and unnecessary
expense upon the people OF the State by
appointing special election insfnaH or
me day OF the general election
for the voting upon the Prohibition
Amendment Mr.. Boyer and the Re-
publican press haven't a word to say
about il.
What about the Republican conspira-
cy in the last Legislature to defeat the
labor and granger Dill Neither Mr..
Boyer nor the Republican press has the
courage TO meet the issue.
MI. Boyer is simply running on the
"reminiscences Of his party. He and
his supporters understand quite we'll,
indeed, that il his candidacy were based
on the issue recently raised by his par
ty, and by the people against his party,
he would be showed under by a MAORI
" running into the thousand. But
should the people support a candidate
who stands for the wrong side of these
issues and is afraid to discuss them ?
