A ballot reform fight is promised i'll New
Hampshire. The young men in the legisla-
ture are said to favor the re-
form, but the war nurses like
Marston and Sulloway ON one side aud
Bingham and Page ON the other are reck-
oned on to fight it tooth and nail. One argu-
ment which the war horses may use with
effect IL they choose. will be that the legisla-
ture should pick the beam out Of its own eye
before it attends to the mote in the peoples.
Outsiders. at least, have heard more of bri-
berry In the New Hampshire legislature than
at TIE New Hampshire polls. We hope this
legislature will be more fortunate in its
reputation and one thing that will help its
reputation will be the passage of good,
honest ballot reform bill. No bill of the
wooden nutmeg brand, like that just passed
In Connecticut, will do.

Montana, 1t is evident, will be one Of the
doubtful States. unless once it shall be in the
Union it shall deem the occasion worthy of
turning over new leaf whereby it shall be-
come Republican. The final count of the re.
turns Of the election for the constitutional
convention shows that the Democrats have
elected thirty-eight delegates, the Republi-
cans thirty-fve. A labor candidate is an old
Democrat and the political preference of
the one independent candidate elected is I'M
known. Putting the Independent in the
Republican and the Labor candidate in the
Democratic column the totals would be 80 to
&c. The total vote polled, taking the highest
figures for each opposing candidate, was
1887, Of which the Democrats polled $3.50.
and the Republicans 5,21l. The Labor can
didate received 2SS votes, and the Indepen-
dent $50, making the full vote l,425. There
is some reason, however, for believing that
Montana may turn over new leaf. The
balance between the two parties is now 80
even that few immigrants will turn the
scale. The assumption Of statehood will no
doubt make Montana more attractive to
those who wish to establish homes; and the
Republican party has way Of attracting
such TO its standard.

The Rockland Opinion heartily endorses
tue movement looking to the removal of the
Maine Medical School to Portland.
Scores of young medical Students" says
the Opinion, go from Maine to other States
and attend schools in no other respect supe-
rior to the Maine school, simply because
they desire the advantage Of clinical instruc-
tlon and the run of a great hospital, which
they cannot have at Brunswick. We have
noticed particularly the catalogues of the
school at Burlington. VT, in some years and
found very large number of Maine namt
In 1t. No one will claim that this school has
any other advantage over Brunswick than
that named; aud yet students turn to it
from the very doors of the latter. This
ought not to be, and now the Maine General
Hospital is in operation, admittedly one of
the best conducted institutions Of the kind
In the country, there is no need of it,"
