The Democratic Meeting The Demo-

on Tuesday last. About the usua, number
who attend these gatherings were present and
they, as usual, were ready and willing to APP
plaud each and every sentiment that fell from
the lips of Raynor, Poe and Ele en-, who al
dressed them. Frank Brown, the Farmer
Bro' n, Of Charles Street, Baltimore, was not
present, he finding it absolutely necessary to
be esewh here to try aud repair the breaks
made in his political fences by Farmer Van
mort, who as a member Of the Farmers Alli-
ance IS hourly gaining strength throughout
he State. Quite n number Of those in the
village were Republicans, many of whom
came to hear the eloquent Raynor, and Others
to catch on, if possible, to the schemes of their
opponents. The Republicans " no heard Ray
nor were charmed by his eoquenee, but none
were convinced that the principles Of the
grand old party which he denounced with
such vehemence were wrong, but went away
convinced that 1t was their duty to work from
now to the election with renewed vigor 70

being made TO elect the ticket, Democrats in

Chairman ofRep. State Cen. Com. for chas, Co.

Dear Sir.
Your note has been duly received asking
ms opinion whether it i. the duty Of both bal
lot clerks 10 assist the blind or illiierae voter
to mark his nalloi, or if it is a sufficient COM
pliance with the law for one Of said clerks to
DO so, etc.
The law on the subject will be found in the
1871 section Of the act Of 1890, chapter 53s.-
This section provides that Amy voter who IS
blind or who declares to the ballot cterts that
be cannot read, or that by reason OF physical
disability he is unable 10 mark his ballot,
may apply to said trO clerks 10 assist him in
the marking thereof"
The object Of the Australian election law is
to prevent all opportunity for bribery snd
rAud ia elertons To carry out this object
it provides that there shall lie two ballot
clerks each Of different political party The
-bject Of this provision Is plain thet one clerk
may operate AS check over the other
If one ballot clerk has the power to 90 alone
with the blind or illitcrate voter into the vot-
ing compartment aud there marx his ballot,
it would certainly place il in the power Of
that one clerk 10 ches' every blind or Hitter
ate voter whose ticket be marked The object
Of the law is to take away all opportunities
for fraud as far as possible, and | therefore
cannot think that it intended to give absolute
control over blind mans vote to single
cerk
But apart from this the language Of the Sec
ton is explicit. 1t says that the voter shall
apply to the tico clerts 70 assist him. II this
means any thing il means TINT the TIRE clerks
must assisi him This think is the true con.
struction sanctioned by bo,h the letter aud
spirit Of the law.
But lest may have been mistaken, have
made lnquiry Of the Altmue, General Of the
State and HEREBY enclose You his reply
Yours truly,
