The Use Of the Check Lists.

In. JOf RNSL;--
| regret that failed to make my mean
ing PLAIN in my communication yesterday
Tie addition of names is but q small part
of the difficulty. The great trouble comes
M undertaking to prepare the original list
! his your editorials fail To cover. The
confusion comes from failure To appreciate
the idea that gives life to the cheek lists
used in elections.
The legal check lists prepared by the
board of registration is absolutely binding
There il no right of appeal. No matter
how unjust their decisions, the disfran
chised voter must submit. Nor tan chal-
i,nges prevent the Illegal voter from
Voting, il his name j. on
the list. The want of the right of appeal
gives the check list all it, strength and
| practical usefulness
If yuu prepare check list of Republicans
/ in the manner suggested in your editorial
or ia any other manner, there must be a
right of appeal m eeery hume put on The
list. Give Il right of appeal on every name
/ and you practically have mo check list. 1t
! il far better to 50 run each caucus that each
man shall vote openly and with full right of
challenge.
The method of using check lists seems
/ very fair But Analysed lis details are
impraetirahle Permit me TO say that !
/ have studied this rs would any
| legal problem. I was warml, in favor of
/ it. until saw that every name could be
challenged and in that way DESTROY the
| whole list

WILLIAM ASTOR DIES IN PARIS.
Worried Over the scandal in which His
Daughter Was Involved--worth Over
Fifty Millions.

NEW IoRK, April pa special to the
E,ei,iiy World from Paris states that vii.
liam Aston died last night at the Hotel
Liverpool The cause was heart failure.
Mr.. Aston was the father of Mrs. ]. Cole.
man Drayton, and was greatly worried
over the Borrowe Fox-Milbank scandal, in
which she was involved.
Next to his nephew, William Waldorf
Aston, and probably Jay Gould, William
Aston was the richest citizen of America.
His wealth was recently estimated at be-
tween S50,000000 and $50 900, 600, the
greater part of which is invested in New
York real estate.
William Aston, who during tho life of
his father was completely overshadowed
by him, has always been more or less in
the background so far as public promi-
hence was concerned. He was only re-
eogni2ed by the reflected light of his wife,
who since the death of Mrs. John Jacob
Aston several years before that of her hus-
bend, has been the acknowledged leader of
New York fashionable society.
For many years the influence of Mrs.
William Astor in society matters has been
all-powcrful, and she has, in fact, been the
sole arbiter of the fate of those who have
sought to gain admittance to the elmer
circle, or the creme de la cremen as
Ward McAllister calls it.
Her predecessor had been Mrs. John
Jacob Aston. her sister-in-law, and after
her death il was natural that she should
assume the scepter the wife of William
Waldorf Aston not being recognized by hcl
! as entitled to take the lead.
