TITO KINDS OF BALLOTS.

Governor Hills organ at the capital, 1.-The
Albany Argus" is making persistent light
against that provision of the Saxton Ballot bill
which prohibits the use of unofficial ballots.
In doing so "The Argusn may justly be accused
of attacking the reform itself. One OF the
main objects of the bill, as has been repeatedly
pointed ont in these columns, is to put an emu
to bribery at the polls and to the pernicious
practice in which the political bosses now IN
dulge, Of levying heavy assessments on can
didates To sanction the use Of both sorts OF
ballots, the official and the unofficial, Is to
leave the present disgraceful condition OF things
practically as it is. Allow the bosses to run
what tickets they like from their election booths
and they will find the task Of corrupting voters
an easy one-as easy as they find 1t now. And
they will continue to assess candidates as Wig
orously as ever.
Six States of the Union have already passed
Ballot Reform laws. All these laws, without
an exception, bar out all ballots that are not
furnished by the State This fact is Of large
significance. II demonstrates that the exclusive
official ballot is generally regarded by those
who have given the matter their careful con-
sideration as of the essence Of genuine Ballot
Reform. The advantage to be derived from IL
Is obvious What objection has been urged
against it2 None of any weight II has been
said that IL the ballots furnished by the State
should by any chance be destroyed, then, in
case there were no others, the electors would
be unable to exercise the right Of suffrage. That
is the form the objection commonly takes. But
it is TO be assumed that the official ballots never
would be wanting. Why should public officials
charged with the duty Of printing and dis
tributing ballots fail in that particular rather
than in any other? Governments are run on
the theory that what an officer is elected TO do
he will do. Besides, it must not be forgotten
that the Saxton bill as amended expressly pro-
yides that ac-smile unofficial ballots may be
used If for any cause the official ballots arc
not ready for distribution at tho proper time, or
If the supply becomes exhausted. We fail 10
see why this does not completely dispose OF the
objection in questiOn-and there is no other
worth taking a pen to.
Several leading Democratic papers of the
State, TO their credit be IL said, have taken
issue with "The Argus" on this point They
have united with the true and sagacious friends
Of Ballot Reform in insisting that the use Of
unofficial ballots must be prohibited II the as.
ScSsment system is to be swept away, or II the
bribe-givers and brbe- takers arc 10 be driven

themselves in error. That he has been laying
his plans to secure Democratic Legislature for
next year-at all events Democratic Senate
has long been apparent and now it transpires
that he has fully determined that brewer must
head the State ticket this fall. 1t is also limited
that the Governor is preparing to succeed him
self again, with the hope that his claim to the
National nomination will be strengthened By
keeping the Governorship in his own hands.
This will bring grief to the soul of General Ed
ward F. Jones and 10 other aspirants for the
honor of succeeding Hill ; but that the Governor
10 laying his plans so far in advance is by nc
means unlikely. The man who gets ahead Of
him must take an early start indeed.

vote, in one shape or another, who creates cor
ruption.
These large bodies of voters make up an
army which could be easily overpowered, being
but a minority, were not other citizens &C
custon,ed to obey their convictions or their
nreiudices, and therefore to divide. But the
nanper and the rufian, the venal creatures and
loafers are apt to favor one party, and any
police officer in any city can tell which that IS.
And whether of one party or the other in Or
binary preference, this considerable class Oh
voters will be found to have one sentiment in
common-they like to think evil OF decent,
thrifty earnest and patriotic men, and are
prone TO hate those whose industry and moral
character have made them rise. To these
classes, moreover, every knavish demagogue
constantly appeals. 1t is his stock in trade to
represent that the well-to-do are selfish and
xrasping, corrupt and corrupting, enemies Of
the public, who live on ill-gotten spells. what
the scoundreIs who want their votes are fond
of saying, the members of the pauperized class
in all it's branches are prone to believe.
So it has come to pass that it is hard to elect
to office any citizen of more than ordinary
wealth Jealousy of his wealth, his position,
his influence or his character, makes it difficult
to nominate and still moro difficult to elect such
a man. If he gives to his party literally, he is
hootel and bounded as corrupdonist. II he
does not, the party workers call him miserable
sLinfint. and stab him ut every chance. This
IL a state of things In which it is not the rich
man but the pauper who governs.

P1HPEROCRACY.

A plutocracy, certain persons please to call
mir Government. 1t would be at least rs
truthful to call it pauperocracy. The envy
and hatred OF wealth have more influence than
wealth. at this time, in all the cities and in
most Of the States. In several great States
the votes of a city turn the scale and the vote
Of either one Of several cities thus made tne
election of Mr.. Cleveland possible The ma
iority in these cities was not composed Oh
wealthy voters. On the contrary, while the
rich are divided according to their preference
for this or that political philosophy, and the
neonle in moderate or comfortable circur-
stances and the thrifty laboring population
are also thus divided, the balance Of power is
exceedingly apt to be held by the most lg-
notant and least industrious class OF voters.
II is not the Woodworking and thrifty citizen
who hates those more successful than himself.
The envy which would stab, and the hatred
which would destroy, riot in the hearts OF
those who are conscious that their own waste
full or self-indulgent habits, their own want Of
energy, thrift or honesty, have set them back
in the race.
But outside Of the cities, in which pauper-
ocracy Is painfully apt to prevail there is es-
sentially the same kind of government in null
ttude Of towns where the saloon vote turns
the scale. The quiet self-respecting citizens
the willing workers. the men who have homes
and families for which they not only care but
proyide divide among themselves. But
Ioafer element has O trick of concentrating ite
vote. The man who can be influenced by the
word or the favor OF liquor-seller may moi
consider himself pauper, but he is often re-
markably close TO the pauper class in impor-
tapt elements Of character. In particular, he
Is apt to have spite against the more wealthy
citizens who have put their earnings where
they will grow faster than in their stomachs.
In many rural districts, too, there are voters
who want to be hired TO 60 to the polls and Il
vote. When election comes, they are toe
busy, unless somebody win pay them for theiI
| loss of time, or hire them rs workers. OF
bribe them outright. The most malignant Of
all haters Of wealth are the very persons who
sell themselves and their votes, so intense il
| their greed, and so dim and faint their sense
Of public duty. But the man who is hired Il
vote. or paid for Tia time he loses in doing his
/ duty as q citizen, is scarcely separated morally
from him who sells his vote for drink Of
liQuer. II 10 tho person who wants to sell BIZ

The mercantile community loses by the death
Of the Hon. S. b. Chittenden one Of its most
useful and honored representatives. He was
not only one of the best known merchants, rank
ing for many years at the head of the dry
goods trade, but he was also active in public
life, having left his mark in Congress as a
broad minded and sagaCious financier and legis-
lator. He was generous patron Of worthy in
stitutions and every progressive cause, and was
most liberal In his benefactons to Yale College.
Another day has passed without bringing any
news In regard to the people presumably taken
from the steamship Danmark. 1t was expected
that the vessels arriving yesterday might have
on board some Of the passengers of the aban-
doned craft, or at least might convey some in
formation regarding them. That was not the
case, however. The probability Of their res
cue and present safety is not diminished by the
failure to hear from them since they may have
been carried out of the track Of the regular
transatlantic steamships. 1t would not be
alarming II they should not be heard OF for
several days, though word may arrive at any
moment.
Admiral Kimberly Is severe in his structures
upon the faulty construction of the Trenton,
which 80 placed the hawsepipes that the vessel
was quickly flooded by the waves that broke
over her In the great Samoan hurricane, putting
out The fires and leaving her at the mercy OF
the raging waters in the treacherous harbor.
The worst feature of the case Is that attention
had been called 10 this defect repeatedly, but
no steps had ever been taken to remedy it.
But for this It Is probable that the flagship
would have survived the storm. The adage
about q stitch In time saving nine has not often
had more impressive illustration.
-----s-.
That the action taken by the Assembly last
week In reference to the prisons will be allowed
to stand 10 very hard to believe. In fact, the
strong probabilities are that the present Yates
bin will be abandoned and the Slavery bill or
the one proposed by Senator Fassett be passed.
An Albany dispatch informs Us that the Fassett
bill will be introduced In the Assembly this
evening This measure has many excellent
features, one OF them being provision Tor In
discriminate sentences. This plan has worked
admirably In the Elmira fieiorn,atory. Whether
ID can be successfully applied to the prisons re.
mains TO be seen. But both the Slavery bill and
10 Faxsett bill win put the ooavicss at wori
