VHRTS BILL BEATEN.
The Senate Passes Carriers
Substitute By a Party
Vote.
en.oinr d the .rerssu citu News.

TRENTON, May s, 1890.-The Senate re-
iected Senator Werts' motion to substl-
tute the joint committees Ballot Reform
bill for the Carter substitute yesterday
afternoon, by a strict party vote, and the
same vote passed the substitute. This
was in strict accordance with an agree
ment which was entered into among the
republicans some time ago. Their plan is
to send the substitute over to the House,
where, they know, it will be promptly re-
jected. Then they proDose to have a con-
ference committee, in which they Will
contend for the rejection of that clause OF
the Werts bill which provides
for the distribution Of the official
ballot. After holding out for that Tor
a sufficient length of time they will pro-
pose a compromise something after Tn Q
last Saxton bill, which was approved by
Governor Hill and which provides for u
paster ballot which h voter can paste
on the official ballot. OF course they
know this will be rejected and hat they
will finally have to pass the Werts Dill.
The Republicans are also aware that
public sentiment is largely in favor OF
the Werts bill, as The more people be-
come acquainted with its excellent pro-
visions, the stronger are they convinced
that it is the best genuine ballot reform
measure yet devised.
Furthermore the Republicans realize
that its adoption means a long farewell
to the little vestige of greatness which
they possess, whereas the adoption of the
Carter substitute, with its blanket ticket
complicated manner OF designating q
voters choice, and the elaborate para
phernalia and machinery of the polling
booths, will TEN to ~disfranchise large
numbers of Democratic voters. So they
propose to fight as long as they can de-
Gently, or indecently, for the substitute.
The blind, INSCRIPTIONS partisansnip
which characterizes their course in this
matter needs no more forcible demon
stration than the speech of President
Nevins. His harangue was replete
with Interpretations and misrepre-
sensations OF the Werts bill and when
Senator Werts questioned him about
some of the statements he made an d
clearly showed to the satisfaction of
every unprejudiced person in the cham-
Der where he was wrong, he still insisted
upon his misrepresentation.
Upon reconvening after the noon re-
cess, the programme OF the Republicans
was SO well understood that but little in
terest wa taken in the further consider
iation of the subject. Mr.. Wyckoff, of
Warren, was the only speaker. He said
that the elections were all honestly cor
Quoted up his way and there was no
need there for q change in the present
system. Nevertheless, for the benefit of
the ~rascally Republican counties he was
willing to vote for a genuine ballot re-
form measure such as the Werts bill. The
vote was then taken.

These a-rraignments mud sentences took
place in the Court Of Special Session yes
terday:-Martin Drewes pleaded guilty to
a charge of assault and battery, fined $40;
James Lannon, eleven years old, malici-
u mischief, pleaded guilty; his mother
came to his rescue and asked the Court
to have mercy on him. She said he had
only broken a window in q factory, and
she is the only support of her little
family, which consisted of six small
children, the youngest being six years
old. They are orphans. Judge Lippin-
colt took these facts into consideration
and after giving the boy q severe lecture,
discharged him.

Special to The JERSEY City Neacs.
TRENTON, May s, 1S90.-There was a
CLEAN of sunshine about the Assembly
Chamber yesterday morning which warm
ed up the cookies of Father Abraham
Nash's heart. it was caused by the pres
sence OF Robbie Marsh, the bright little
dye-year-old son of the Speaker pro tenn
pore. The little fellow is q handsome
child and by his winning ways made
friends of every member and officer of the
that he sent up the following resolutions,
which upon being put by Tommy N0onan
were adopted unanimously
Whereas, IT'S proper to manifest a proper So
lieltude FOR the rising generation who are
destined to be the future fathers Of the Republic;
and
Whereas, The desk of our estimable and ex-
Senent Speaker is this morning, IN addition to
Honorable Speakers handsome young son, Rob-
ert e. Marsh; therefore
Resolved, That we compliment and congratu-
late our Speaker on his paternity in the prem
lseS and express the hope that the boys pres
ence at the Speakers desk today be the shadow
cast before, so to speak, of the coming event of
his future Speakership Of this House, which we
anticipate his filling and fulfilling with that
credltabiltyw which had characterized its worthy
sire before.
The race course bill introduced by
voorhees, differs somewhat from the pre-
vlous measure, inasmuch as it IS aimed
directly at winter racing, pure and sim
pie, n is not burdened with any un-
necessary "hxins." 1t provides chat ali
horse racing during December. January,
February and March shall be illegal. and
provides a penalty of a $500 fine or one
years imprisonment. The measure was
made q special order for Monday night
when Mr.. VOORHEES, says he will urge its
passage.
Mr. M~ullone's two measures, providing
That Grand Army Posts, the National
Guard and other organizations may
parade with music on Sunday. and COM
pelllng organizations about to parade to
furnish the police with the route they
propose to march over, have been
amended to meet the objections to them
raised by the Governor and are now in
his hands. They win probably become
laws before long.
After ballot reform had been disposed
or Dy the Senate yesterday afternoon, the
upper House settled down to business
and passed the House bill making it q
misdemeanor to sell or dispose Of goods
bought on the installment plan.
The bill for the new Hudson County
Lunatic Asylum also passed the Senate.
II provides that the Board Of Freeholders
upon q three-fourths vote may issue
S@oo,Ooo OF bonds for the erection of a
lunatic asylum.
Senator Martin introduced an amend
ment to the Newark Ship Canal act. 1t
gives the company power to make its
canal 250 feet and to construct piers and
wharf basins.
Botn houses seem to be settled upon
adJourning sine die next Thursday or
Friday.
