Nov. S.-Democrats are jubiant in this vi
cinity. We were sure of success in the county,
even though influences which we could not
fathom were at work to defeat several of our
candidates, who seemed to be especial targets
for the Venomous attacks of the common enc.
my. But we were not prepared for so over
whelming a victory, and our feelings are in full
accordance with the returns. Much amusement
was occasioned by the establishment of the fact
that the Republican bosses seemed to consider
that the ordinary voters of the party were not
possessed of judgment sufficient to enable
them to vote intelligently upon the amend
ments to the Constitution, and published their
orders for their votes upon the ticket.

PREPARING TO BRoAD-GAUGE THE b. AND l..
"A Baltimore paper says: preparations are
being made by the Baltimore and Lehigh Rail-
road Company for the widening of the tracks be-
tween Baltimore and York, Pa, to the same
width as the Baltimore and Ohio and Philade-
phia and Reading Railroads, and it is expected
that the work will be completed by the time
the Belt Railroad Company's tunnel is finished,
probably year hence. Officials of the Balti-
more and Lehigh decline to talk on the subject,
but it is understood that when that line be-
comes broad-gauge road and the tunnel is in
operation the Reading will use the Baltimore
and Lehigh and the Belt Line as an additional
means of reaching deep water. The change will
cause the expenditure of large sum of money,
and it is said that a considerable portion of the
cost will be borne by the Baltimore and Ohio,
which will, it is thought, operate the Baltimore
and Lehigh under traffic agreement"

PROPOSED RAILROAD EXTENsIoN.-TheD Delta
Herald of the 9th instant says: "For some
time there has been talk of q railroad to run
westerly from Delta, through Fawn Grove, New
Park and Stewartstown and connecting with
the N. c. r. R. The question has lately been
revived, and some of the public-spirited men of
Delta and others along the route are manifest
ing an interest. The proposed road would join
the Stewartstown Railroad, and would make q
valuable outlet for our famous Peach Bottom
roofing slate, and the people all along the route
would appreciate their increased railroad facili-
ties. Should the susquehanna be bridged at
Peach Bottom, all lower York county and up
per Hartford would have ready access to Phila-
delphia."

A Change in the Voting Precincts Needed

We called attention last week to the ardu-
GUS work imposed upon judges and clerks at
the late election, in the larger precincts of
our county, and particularly in Bel Air,
where the registered vote is 1909, and the
vote usually cast at q general election about
900. The Baltimore San calls attention to
the same subject. 1t says:
Some attention should be given by the Le-
gislature to the size of voting precincts.
Service as election officers is compulsory,
and it is not fair and right to subject men to
such an arduous duty as receiving and
counting ballots for thirty-six or forty con-
secutive hours During all this time results
are frequently left in doubt which should be
settled speedily. The size of precincts all
over the State should be limited to four hun
dred voters, and here in this city the hour of
closing the polls might be changed to
o'clock, as is done in New York. This would
be a great relief to the officers of election and
render the service less distasteful to good
men. It may be urged that workingmen
might miss an opportunity TO vote by closing
early, but election day is legal holiday and
no one has right to interfere with an en-
ploye in dscharging his duty as a citizen.
Many attribute the delay in completing the
count to the Australian ballot, but this is i'm
aginary, as it takes not moment longer to
count the official ballot than it did to count
the unofficial In point of fact, the returns
from Montgomery and Hartford, where the
old election law is in force, were the very
last to be received.

day Judge Waters disposed of several cases
against the Bel Air Literary, Musical, Social and

Six cases against Peter McGinnis, late caterer
