State Printer Grier's Much Talked OF
Letter Made Public.
PHILADELPHIA. PA, Oct. S.-Chairman

much talked of letter from State Printer
Grier, which has stirred up the republicans
in a marked degree. Here it is:
HARRlsBURe, Pa, Oct. G. 1892
Hon J. Marshall Wright, Chairman Democratic
Committee
My DEAR StR-I want to call your attention
at once TO an important matter. 1t Is evident
to my mind that change in the size of the
ticket will prevent some counties In the state
from having an election. We are now
% Se oca and GTa 36s ~ Of o,. ticket that
one used. II will take paper 22x59 for the
ticket, and colored paper for specimen 22x46
Some or the counties may have less names than
Erie county. but am OF the opinion that no
county will take sheet less than 22x50 for
the ticket and 22x44 for the specimens
The time required for printing is limited
by law. and but very few printing offices in the
state have perfecting machines. You, as chair
man, should notify the commissioners Of
the democratic counties to be on the alert
and get contracts made wherever they can.
There is not enough paper in the ooun-
try Of sufficient size to print the
ticket. Fayette county has contracted for her
tickets (by wire) with K E Myers He can do
the work for three or four counties, and will
not go beyond his ability to complete
Our strong democratic counties ought
TO be the first TO receive attention.
for Philadelphia will, by some means. get
her ticket. Berks. York, LehiRh. North
ampton and others whose status you know
better than 1 can tell you, should be given a
pointer. Do you think am an alarmist ia this
matterS 1t is "a condition, NOT theory" that
presents itself, and you may do well TO remem-
Der that my prophesy now Is that some locall-
ties in the state will not be able to vote in
November for want of tickets. Yours truly,
