lively that they are for Foraker
first, last. and all the time. It
goes without the saying that the Hamil-
ton County delegation ought to be for the
governor from motives of local pride, to
say nothing of individual preference. BY
this the members of the Hamilton County
delegation will in no wise disparage the
distinguished services of Senator Sher-
man, but will express the almost unan-
imous choice Of the Hamilton County re-
publicans.

as to the candidates who should be IA
vored with their franchise, but then they
will not be ticket peidlers. A citizen
can only vote an official ballot, and this
must be given to him by one of the
judges of election. The peddler, like any
ordinary citizen, can get only one ballot.
A peddler without ballots is not regard
ed as either useful or ornamental at the
polls by the political organization that
formerly paid him highly for his services.
The ticket peddler was out of sight.
No one seemed to regret his disap-
pearance. The voter who in former
days had suffered at his hands was
satisfied that the new law had accom-
plished at least one good purpose The
ticket peddler was not mourned by the
police, the judges or the voters. AS had
been anticipated, the straight ticket, as
who had only an imperfect knowledge of
how to prepare their ballots. 70 avoid
an error which might cause the rejection
of their ballot, they usually placed X in
the circle before the appellation of their
party. AS 1T required only second to
10 AXE this X in the circle, the citizen
who voted a straight ticket only re-
NAMED in the booth for brief time.
The voter who was not pleased with his
party ticket was easily recognized, for
he spent some minutes in retirement
preparing his ballot. AS the great ma
jority of the voters deposited with the
judges straight ticket there were not
as many errors committed as had been
predicted.
The election demonstrated the fact
that but little, if any, effective work
can be performed by campaign man
ayers on the day of election. The voter
is free from intimidation, and enjoys in
the secrecy of the booths the fullest lib
erty to exercise his franchise. The rep
resentatives of the two leading parties
expressed themselves as thoroughly sat
isfied with the new law SO far as it re-
lates to election day, at all events. 1t
gives no advantage to either party, and
It assures an election free from disorder
and strife at the polls. The defeated
party does not hold the INV in any way
responsible for it's overthrow. A mem
Der of the campaign committee stated
that the defeat was due to the fact that
the apathy of the voters in the cam
paign remained with them during cleo
tion day.

The English Government willing TO Civ
Lord Randolph Churchill an Appointment

The English Government willing TO Give
Lord Randolph Churchill an Appointment
LONDON. Dec. 29.-It is stated today that the
government has received an intimation from
Lord Randolph Churchill that he is desirous Of
entering the diplomatic service. II Is also said
that it is probable that he will be appointed
British ambassador to st. Petersburg in place
OF Sir r. B. ID. Morier, who holds the position
at present.
The Standard in its issue of today, while
crediting the report. declared that the appoint
ment OF Lord Randolph Churchill to a diplo-
matte position would be a rash experiment
The 81 James Gazette saws il hopes the
scheme will be nipped in the bud. With the
great risk of another incident in the Pamirs
similar TO that which occurred some years ago
at Penideh, the nomination Of Lord Randolph
Churchill as British ambassador to Russia
would be apiece Of folly.
The Penjdeh incident referred to by the 81
James Gdzete occurred in 1885 and is cited 20

bassador at ST. Petersburg, who, 10 say the
least, has not given evidences Of the cool

Britain has arisen. The Pamir incident 10
affair, which came near precipitsting
a war between the two powers mentioned.
Penjdeh is oasis in the northwest part ol
Afghanistan, 100 miles north of Herat II was
an integral part of the province of Herat to
which it paid tribute A conflict occurred in
March, 1885, between a body Of Afghanistan
troops occupying Penjdeh and q Russian force
commanded by Gen. komaroff, which had been
stationed on the neighboring boundary.
The AfghIns were put to rout and the Rus
SLAMS took possession of Penjdeh. The dispute
regarding the Afghan boundary was at that
time being carried on between England and
Russia, and this incident added 10 the compli-
cations. The matter became the subject Of
special investigations, reports and negotiations
in ST. Petersburg and London, accompanied
with extensive military preparations. The
threatened war was finally averted, but Penj-
deh remained Russian possession.
