A Stride Forward.
[Biddeford Journal
A CREST stride forward in the history of
Maine was taken yesterday, in the passage
Of the ballot bill which now only needs the
signature Of Governor Burleigh to bscome
8 law. The law about to be enacted, VIC
believe, truly represents the wishes Of the
majority OF the voters in the State. aud we
congratulate the members Of the Sixty
Fifth Legislature thst they did not fail to
resd the signs Alright and voted accordingly.
The bill which was originally defeated
in the House did not do this. hence the
cause for cong'stulation, now that the better
bill has prevailed. We are not, and never
have been, of that number which profess to
believe that the future Of the Republican
party can in any way suffer from the voters
free and untrammelied exercise of suffrage
and this is best assured by the bill just
passed.
Progress Of Ballot Reform,
Boston Evening Traveller
The Republicans Of Msine are to be con-
graduated on the seton finally taken by
the Maine Legislature in the matter OF bal
lot reform. When a few days ago the
House Of Representatives rejected u ballot
reform bill, such rejection was everywhere
regretted by Republicans, who felt
that their brethren in Msine could
not afford to commit Themselves to q
Bourbon reac.ionary policy. Later, how
ever, the Maine Senate passed more thor
ough going bill, applying ballo. reform
principles, not only IS was at arst con-
templated, to the larger towns and cities,
but to every town end preeinc. in the
State. This bill has now been passed by
the House, and another has thus been
added to the brilliant series Of vic.
tories for ballo. reform which was inaugu-
rated BY Massachusetts. There seems to
be little doubt that the bill! now pending in
the New Hampshire Legislature will also
be enac:ed, the opposition to the Australian
principle proving much less decided than
has for the last few days seemed probable
New Hampshire hiss for years been one Of
the closest states politically, and unscru-
pulous and discreditsble methods have
been too frequently adopted by both
political parties. Anything that will
free the state from the stain OF
such tactics as were adopted in towns like
Littleton and Lisbon at the last Gle ction is
10 be welcomed, and it is hopeful sign
that the leaders Of both parties are coming
te recognize the necessity Of ballot reform
The pending bill has teen carefully mod
elled upJn the Massachusetts law, and New
Hampshire is to be Congratulated upon the
excellent prospec; of its enactment.
