Chaunosy Blacks Letter to the brooklyn
Democratic Club
NEW YORK, March THE following
letter from the Hon. Chauncey F. Black,
Of York, Pa, President Of the National
Lssgue Of Democratic Clubs, was received
too late to be read at the ballo. and elec-
toral reform meeting Of the Yourg Men's
Democratic Club of Brooklyn, Monday
evening:
YORK, PA, February %. 1890.
NY DEAR SIR: i have Just received
your letter relative TO the work done sDd
proposed TO be done by the Young Mems
Democratic Club of Brooklyn toward the
achievement OF genuine ballot reform.
sgree with you and with the club, that
real and complete reform is impossible
without the exclusive official ballot.
Personally, a1d Eiter very serious II flee
tiop. am convinced that the Australian
system, specifically and explicitly, without
excisious or additions, is the measure for
which every ballot retormer should s;ea1-
lily ard uncompromisingly contend, and
they should contend for it, not merely us-
til they have compelled opponents
to meet them half way, but until
they get it-strsight, complete, en-
tire. Tried long and severely, not only
in Australia, bat in Epgland, and low
again in America there is no question re.
naming of its perfect adequacy. Il will
produce pure and free elections, and, so
far ss We know, nothing else will in
countries, where corrupt political machines
aad great mono poles, in partnership with
government, stand ready to bribe and ter
rorize.
In Pennsylvania the Australian ballot
cannot be had, because our Constitution
requires the ballots to be numbered by
election officers, but such is the force Of
public opinion in this State in favor OF the
Australian ballot, unimpaired by subtrac-
ton or addition, that many Ct our peo-
pie are even now seriously consider
ing the wisdom Of calling constiiu-
tionsl convention for the sole purpose OF
placing it in the Constitution itself, be-
yond the chances Of ordinary politics, and
above the resch OF partisan Legislatures.
II wish the Young Mems Democratic
Club of Brooklyn speed and success in its
timely and patriotic undertaking. And /
remain, "Very truly yours
CHAUNCEY F. BLACK"

"The fight was evidently OF ehors dura-

A Number of Imports mt Committee Meet
ipgs Held.
The members Of the Coub Gil Committee
on Railroads met ct 3 p. m. yesterday, and
sailed forth TO view the various places for
which railroad privileges have been asked.
They were accompanied in their official
peregrinations by City Solicitor White and
City Esgineer Hoge, and the entire COM
binslion thus formed tpent several hours
in an entertaining jaunt about the city.
The first place visited was the corner OF
Main and Sixheath, where Simon Bser's
Sons ask the privilege Of laying down q
switch. Thence the committee examined
the Wheeling Ice Company's proposed
switch, the Warwick pottery snd the
Schmulbsch brewing switches. They de-
fered the visit to the Fulton road for fu-
ture meeting. The cor. nittee adjourned
to meet on Monday night.
From the general sentiment Of the mem
bers it was gathered that Meesrs. Baer's
application for switch starting from the
vest side of Main would probably be ia
vorsbly oonsidsrtd if it could be SO ar
ranged that the frog would not be in the
middle of the street. The complaint OF
the Wheeling Ice Company that the ordi-
names granting it a switch on Alley 10
was impracticable did not meet with great
favor. At the Warwick switch the people
we're out in force and made strong protests
Farther complaints will bs heard on Mon
day night II any wish to make them.
There will probably be compromise on
the Schmulbsch switch, the Company
agreeing not to run SO far north as il now
does. There will be little difficulty in
the committee reaching conclusion on
any Of the propositions before it.

Representative hale Spoke Against
the Bill - Opposition
Growing.

WASHINGTON, March THE Blair bill
came up as unfinished business and Mr.
Blair addressed the Sera.e. He insisted
that the Republican party was pledged ia
It's platform to the paSssge OF his bill. and
be predicted that if that party failed 10
make good its pledge, that fact would put
an end to the party. For himself be owed
no alliance to party that lied, and there
were other men in the country who were
like him, testing the solemn pledges OF the
Republican party. That, he said. wa no
threat, bat 1t was fair warning from one
who loved his party, and has ~ much
blood In the soil which that party had
helped to bless as any Of them.
Mr.. Hale opposed the bill. Hetpoke Of
the growing opposition to the meas ure ard
said that II IL were to be fixed upon the
country never 10 have its grip loosed, the
line OF State and local interests and inha-
encss Of powers would fade away and re.
cede and would be finally swallowed up in
the sea Of federal Influence. He did not
believe that the Senate Of the United States
was prepared to embark on any such
course. The history OF the bill had shown
that, all the time that opposition 10 the
bill had increased, the reasons for its pass-
age had diminished.
MIR. Blair said that he was not mistaken
as to the source from which most of the
Misrepresentation at the North concerning
the bill had come The Jesuitical novver
Of the country had decided that the way 20
get control Of the schools WAS fret 10 get
control Of the press. The press had re.
ceived its full share Of attention and had
manifested its foil share Of subservency.
The New York papers were monopolies Of
the worst kind, and the country papers
hsd been perverted and poisoned by
them. Even the Republican party Ia
the North had been induced by
misrepresentation 10 turn IT, back
on The national impulses OF Republication
and oppose the bill, bat when il got the
facts, ss II would get them some time, that
truculent press would tell different story.
He went on to spesk Of the Boston Herald,
the Boston Globe, and the New York
Tribune as being against the bill, and said
that every Democratic paper in New York
had once advocated it-nsming in that
connection the Herald the Times, the World
and the Euening Post. He alsO included IN
the list the Chicago Tribune. THAT free

After sn executive session, the Senate

Of Chief Iguace's tribe would cause trouble,
