A MAINE METHOD.

1t has been mentioned that the dis
trict Speaker REED represents is the
closest one in Maine, and that there is a
chance for his being left out. He has
just been renominated, and, from the
election methods reported as common
in that district, it may be certain that
he will carry it, at whatever expense.
The New York Times has made it a
matter of special investigation, and
finds that the sale of votes in that dis
trict is even more open than liquor
selling. About 20 per cent of the voters
are for sale at every contested election.
Even the Democrats who operate their
political machine have become so cor
rupted that they are like the Repub-
licans, but they rarely have any money,
and consequently are in favor of cleo
ton reform. The methods are IA
vorable to the traffic. as all bal
lots are voted open. The voter is
not allowed to fold them. The
Judges examine the ballots and a
partisan inspector also makes notes.
The parties who purchase the votes

goods are delivered. The practice is so
old and common that it is not much
more censurable than selling eggs or
corn. 1t is, however, disreputable for
a voter, after taking the usual price,
$40, from the Republicans to sell again
to the Democrats. This is calculated
also to hurt the business, and is CEN
sured by those who sell, as well as the
purchasers. In fact, in many places, as
stated by the Times investigator, the
money is not paid until the inspector re-
ports the votes cast according to con-
tract. In one case father and three
sons were bought for S66. 1t may be
that while congress is looking into
crooked election matters in the South it
will find chance for inquiry as to the
methods in Speaker REEDS district.

THE GROWTH SOUTH.

There have been intimations that the
census takers in the South were to
make the count among the colored
people as small as possible in order
to reduce the representation of the
states. 1t is probable that any short
age in that direction will be due more
to the inefficiency of the census takers
than deliberate purpose. Perhaps it
was in view of this that the governors
and other officials recently made care
full estimates, giving in the twelve
strictly Southern states population of
10, 48O, $50. gain of more than one-third
since the last census. This is fully up
to the average of the country, and in ex-
cess of the growth of the Eastern states.

A Question of Elections Only.

Philadelphia Record.
"Inside news" from Washington is
contradictory. 1t is positively stated
that the Mckinley tariff bill will go
through the senate finance committee
in ten days, with little or no change;
and it is stated. with equal positiveness,
that the bill will be so amended in com
mittee that its authors will not be able
to recognize it, making agreement prac-
tically out of the question. The reader
who pays his money for news may take
his choice. The result will be deter
mined by the average opinion of Re
publican congressman as to the effect of
action or non-action upon the result of
the fall elections. The movements of
constituencies from this time forward
will be carefully considered.
