nor less than an act providing that every
man who commits a crime shall have his
preliminary hearing in the hundred In

a Gentlemaniy Lobbyist
We'll, said a member Of the General
Assembly to day. whatever may be said
against Mr. Myers ballot machine,
nothing can be said against him. He is
the most gentlemanly lobbyist i have
ever seen in Dover. and have seen many
in my time. l have never heard
him make disparaging remark
concerning any Of the ballot bills that
rival bis. TO be sure be discusses their
merits and demerits but not nlightingly.
He has never made himself bore TO any
member Of the General Assembly and
taken altogether. has never allowed his
desire 10 have his machine adopted by
this state override his naturally gentle
manly instincts.
Nr Myers had his ballot machine
packed up to-day and will ship IL 60 New
York where the bill to adopt Il has
pass both houses Of the General As
semby
