THE managers Of the Republican ma
chine allege that fifty or sixty" illegal
votes were cast In the Ninth ward and
they selected six of these on which to
make test cases. 1t goes without saying
that the Republican howlers put their
best foot forward in making selections
from among the fifty or sixty" cases OF
alleged unqualified voters, and pressed
the six which they knew they were most
likely to win on. The Depart.
ment Of Elections, body OF
the Republicans own creation, and
which has always received their highest
commendation from them, and the
President of which, Andrew G. Wilson,
was recommended by Republicans, TO a
Republican Mayor, for reappointment,
made thorough investigation of the six
cases presented, and in each case found a
perfect title TO vote, and found all of the
six properly and legally qualified.
This was certified TO by j p. McLear, the
representative of the Republican
members OF the Department Of
Elections, and was also certified
TO by Attorney General John Biggs than

public official this state has never had

Calvin 3. Brlce.

The Philadelphia Ledger says Calv in
s. Brice, the new chairman of the Demo
cratic National Committee, is evidently
made Of good stuff. He is not yet forty
four years Of age, and yet has won a
large fortune as corporation lawyer
and organizer of railroad cor
porations. But his army career is es-
pecially interesting. He enlisted in 1861.
before he was sixteen years old, served
year. and then returned to col
lege studies Having graduated in
1858, he re entered the army as captain,
and returned at the close of the war,
nineteen years old and with the rank of
lieutenant colonel. That is a pretty good
indication that he is a man Of energy-a
leader OF men. His political experience is
limited, but he is young enough, and en-
ergetic enough, to make up for that be.
fore the next Presidential campaign.

attracts the enthusiasm Of youth no less
than the slow-moving but ponderous
efforts of the matured man bent on the

WE think the editor of the EVENING
JOURNAL little off when he says the
corps Of reporters who have been report
ing the Johnstown disaster lacking Of
good taste, and had violated every rule Of
composition. Because one reporter makes
a fool of himself, should not place the
whole number in the same category. -
Seaford Review
All Of which serves TO show that the
Seaford Reviews thinks" are not accu-
rate and it's knowledge is not complete.
There were many instances of bad re-
porting. There was that Paul Revere
story OF reporter who stopped to lunch
as he rode horse at full gallop ahead of
the rushing waters There was the
instance Of a reporter pausing in the
midst of q pathetic story to describe the
smile on the face OF an Indian cigar sign.
There were false stories of the Is, 600 dead.
There were the grossly exaggerated an
ticipatiOns OF devastating disease There
was one fearful alarmist who knew bet
ter than the doctors and was sure that
pneumonia was contagious and
would kill all Of the people not
already destroyed by the flood.
The Seaford Review thinks" that is
not bad reporting There is no indica-
tion in the Seaford Review that its editor
knows what reporters duties are; there
are no indications Of good taste in com
position and there are no indications that
its editor knows anything at all. Hence
his objection to our criticisms are of little
weight.
