TARRED AND FEATHERED.
A "Reformed Gambier's" Peculiar
Hard Luck.

CHICAGO Oct. CA curious assault
was made tonight upon an ex-gambler
named J, Is. Quinn. Two men held him
up in dark spot on the edge of Union
park and compelled him to strip to the
waist and poured bucket OF liquid tar
over the upper portion of his body, and
then added some feathers by way OF
adornment. The assailants then
knocked him down and kicked him re-
peatedly, rendering him unconscious.
He was found by some people strolling
through the park and the police notified.
No trace of his assailants. Quinn has
been posing AZ reformed gambler, ;"
writing book on gamblers methods.
He is supposed to have incurred the
enmity of the fraternity, although sport
ing men scout the idea that any such
motive provoked the attack.

INTENT OF THE VOTER
What Should Govern the
Judges Action.
GOVERNOR FERRY ON THE LAW
Reason Why the Increase of the
Vote VIII Not Be Very
Large.

OnyMpfA, Oct. Ex-Governor Forty to-
day plainly expressed his views on the
method of preparing the ballot under the
new system OF voting. In an interview
hy n Capital reporter he said; "The
law is certainly clear in regard to tho
matter. 1t plainly states In case a bal
lot containing a constitutional amend
ment or other question to be submitted
10 u vote of the people, questions voted
against shall be scratched out This Is
certainly one of the other questions
mentioned by this paragraph, and ac-
cording TO the strict letter OF the law the
names of two of tho three candidates
should be scratched out.
"It is customary to literally construe
the law, and where the purpose aud in
tent OF the voter is clear the vote should
be counted. For example, u man places
an ~ 3" after the name of Olympia.
Why does he put II there, II he does not
intend IL to express his intention OF
voting for Olympia? II should be
counted Section 1901 of the code reads
MS follows: But no ticket shall be lost
for want of form, If the board OF
Judges can determine to their satisfac.
tion the person voted for and Office in
tended This principle will apply to
the election for permanent capital In
other words, the intent Of tho voter
must be carried out, If 1t Is possible to
do so.
~ want to point out a matter that has
been overlooked by many IN estimating
the probable number of votes cast ut the
next election. That is, that the Increase
In the number of legal voters will not be
nearly as great as many imagine No
man coming to the state since November
4, 1889 can vote at this election. There
fore the increase In the number of voters
will consist of those who came during
tho seven months and four days from
April 1, 1889, TO November 4. last. The
increase in population was small COM
pared with the increase since our admis-
sion. Since then the rush has been
wonderful. and We are apt to overlook
the fact that these newcomers are not
legal voters"
