NO sTRAIGRrs.

The morning organ of Kelly and Grim
Minis Is quite certain that one experiment
will give the people all they want OF the
Australian ballot system. This opinion is
founded on the assumption that voting and
counting the ballots will be more labOri-
Gus proceeding under the new system than
under the ola. Even if this assumption were
true il would not be fatal, and it is by no
means certain that it is true. Under the
law as it existed until the Story method Of
counting was adopted the names OF each
candidate voted for bad 10 be tailed sepa-
rately Very often third OF the names On
a ticket would be scratched and other names
written in. Under the present law there
will De no straighis, neither Will there be
names written in. The voter win stamp a
cross opposite the name of the candidate he
desires to vote for. It will be no more Ia
Dor to read the names stamped than to read
the names written in TO take the place Of
scratched names.
But even if the new law did entail extra
work, what then? What are elections for
anyway? In theory, they are to enable
electors to choose men they deem fit to per-
form the duties Of the several offices. But
in practice. under the old law. they enabled
officials through the action of a convention.
A large proportion of voters accepted the
convention candidate blindly. Compare
lively few voters bad personal knowledge of
one-tenth Of the men nominated by mu-
nicipal convention. With here and there
an exception, the men who get upon legis-
lativs tickets are known only to their per-
sonal aeQuaintances. They ara voted for
because they are on certain ticket rather
than because they are fit. The Supreme
Court decision in the heading case is blow
al the power of party conventions. A name
on the official ballot Will stand very nearly
on its merits The use of the conventions
will be in putting the names on the ballot.
No man viii be voted for except 0y affirma-
tive action on the part of the electors. The
object of elections will thereby be attained.
1t is not easy to see how the boss system can
survive the enforcement of the law as inter
preted by the Supreme Court. What is a
convention nomination worth under law
which requires each voter to mark his indi-
vdual preference? Officials elected by favor
OF the electOrs-at-largs are not going TO ac.
cept orders from bosses who really contrib
uted little to their election. Possibly the
new ballot law may be amended in some
details TO advantage, but it looks low as il
the law Is a more effective blow az the boss
system than its friends expected. II such
results are obtained by prolOnging the count
two OF three days there will be little com.
plant. The object Of an election is al
election by the qualified voters, and this i:
what the new law seems to insure.

its conventions manned by City Hall en-
moves. its harroom ticket, and its lofty aim
70 make Mike de Young Senator. IL there
is a thing which the people of California"
admire it is the ingenious contrivance by
which an honest Republican, who is loyal
to his party. is compelled TO vote for munich
pal candidates whom he abhors, or TO vote
the ticket of a party which was unsOund
during The war. The Chronicle knows the
''pe9ple of California" and it describes
their feelings with its usual discernmeBt.
The real people of California. with whom
the Chronicle has never been in touch, re-
j0iee at decision which will cripple the
machine by reducing the number of straight
tickets voted in carelessness; aud they will
be confirmed in their rejoicing by observing
that the mind of Mike de Young is filled
with sorrow and disappointment.

OUR FEARS.

Some twelve or fifteen months ago an
effort was made in one of our courts to
punisb some of the parties who had been
guilty of the grossest corruption in the last
Legislature. A Grand Jury was organized,
and had actually indicted some OF the par
ties for accepting brides. but in stepped
certain persons in order to screen the guilty
ones. The Chronicle was frantic, because
ii was noised abroad that possibly brDe-
giving might be traced to one OF the Sena-
toral candidates. We pass this. however.
aud trace the case TO the Supreme Court.

he could poll more of the peoples votes

My friend of the three HIS when
you recover sufficiently to realize
"where you are,' please to observe
that poor old Cleveland has got there
with both feet, and has popular ma

good round hundred majority in the

And though their remains we would
not crow over since we have buried them
out of sight. But still, and yet, never
theless, notwithstanding Oh! what's
the matter with Grover? He's all
