The President devotes considerable
space to the matter of Federal elections.
He deplores the act of the Michigan Leg
islature providing for the choice OF Presi-
Dental electors by districts, defin-
ing it as can unfortunate and
even threatening episode" The
act was accompanied by "gerrymau
der" and the evils of partisan appoint
ments for the choice of State or Federal
legislators are deprecated. The chief
danger lies in the overthrow or perver--
sion of popular suffrage. The power IF
Congress is ample to deal with the
gerrymander so tar as the selection or
its own members is concerned. A non
partisan commission Is suggested to con-
slider the evils of our present election sys-
TEN and mature plan for their cure or
mitigation. The Supreme Court could
constitutionally compose such commits
sion.
1t should be taken from the power of
State Legislature, chosen for one year
upon local issues, to wrest or divert from
the people the right to express their un-
restricted choice for President.
While the policies Of the Government,
upon matters of general concern, some-
times involving issues that tend to peace
or war; are often depen dent upon the re-
suit of q Presidential election, there is a
rightful interest in all the States that
such election shall be abs olu tely free aud

The Victim Registered at the Eagle
Hotel as III. Schneider.
A middle-aged man. who is supposed to
be H. Schneider. died at St, Mary's Hos
pital, Hoboken, last night, from asphyxi-
alton. From papers found in his pockets
he was evidently laboring man, and had
been WORKING In sugar refinery in Brook
lyn. He had also been stopping at No 81
Bloomfield street. Over $40 was found
in his pockets. He applied for room at
the old Eagle Hotel, now Normannia
House, at First and Hudson streets, late
Monday night. He was assigned to
room on the third floor. About two o'clock
yesterday afternoon proprietor Wlese
was called upon to investigate strong
odor OF gas, which filed the Railways
and apparently came from Schneider's
room. The door was burst open aud the
inmate was found lying unconscious on
the bed.
The gas was turned full on. City
Physician Simon WAS unable to revive the
man. and had him removed to the
hospital There was nothing to show
tn the man intended self destruction,
and it is possible that he failed to turn
the gas the proper way, or that he blew

THOSE ELECTION BILLS
Ordered Paid Despite the Objections
of Republican Aldermen.

The Aldermen last night evidently went
to their meeting room with the intention
of holding an old-time session. The meet
ings of late have been of such a quiet
nature that sightseers have been but few.
Last night, however, the few people who
occupied seats in the lobby enjoyed a
lively spat between Aldermen O'Neill,
Salinger and Dusenberry. The whole
meeting hinged upon the unpaid election
bills.
The Committee on Elections, when the
Republicans were in the majority, WAS
given an appropriation of $11 900 for the
years expenses Last Aprils election
bills alone amounted to $15, ,282. .9S. Here
was deficiency already OF $4,282 08. In
the fall the expenses aggregated $lS, 1872. 6S.
making in all deficiency of So, ,6T5 66.
Under the ballot reform law the county
pays share of this expense. Last yer
the countv's share amounted to 49, 178.
This sum was paid to the citv aud There
was still a deficiency of $14.49766. There
is still due the city from the county 81. l0S,
on account of election expenses. Alder
man O'Neill was aware that at the meet
ing of the Board of Finance yesterday
afternoon it was decided to borrow on u
pose OF having all the old election bills
paid, and accordingly offered the Gus
tomary resolution asking the Board OF
Finance to make the necessary appro-
priatiOn.
Alderman Salinger did not see the use
of such resolution and opposed it. claim
ing that no such action should be taken
until the county had paid into the city
81, 10S, its share of the expense.
ALL THE CLAIMS JUST.
"That money will be paid by the Free
holders" said Alderman O'Neill, "and
when 1t is paid it will be used to pay off
this temporary loan authorized py the
Board of Finance. My resolution has no
power. 1t is only form carried out by
this Bo rd. We must pay those OLD
claims, and now that the Board of FL
nance will borrow the money for our use it
is our duty to pay these bills, wlaioia~aEe
just ones"
Il am on the committee on elections"
said Alderman Dusen berry. '.and there
are great many bills that l have not
seen. People are being paid for doing
work that was not done rightly. Some
of the booths were not put IN nroperly,
and would like to see the bills"
"That is all right for you to say" inter-
rupted Alderman OPNei]l. '.but just bear
in mind that when the Republicans were
in power In this Board the Democrats
were not shown bills Of any kind. We
had nothing to say then, and you have
nothing TO say now."
For fully halt an hour the Aldermen
wrangled over this matter and then the
resolution was adopted by partisan
vote. and warrants were orde ed drawn
for all the bills.
City Clerk Scott was paid $400 for extra
work performed at election times. Two
liquor licenses were granted aud the
Board adjourned.
