rePEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcH.1
PHILADELPHIA, Sept 9.-Certifcates of
the nominations of candidates under the
provisions of the Baker ballot law must be
fled with the Secretary of State 56 days be-
fore the election, and the TIME limit expires
next Monday. Chairmen Reeder and
Wright have been devoting their best ener-
gies to this end, in order that the terms of
the law shall be complied with, and their
efforts have resulted in general attention
to the subject over the State.
"We lack but three Congressional dis
tricts and four Legislative nomination. to
round out our lists, !" said General Reeder,
this evening, "and oddly enough the Legis-
lative districts are in minority counties
The certificates NAV come by any mail In
any event, the Republican organization is
fortunate, but it required hard work to Sc
cure that result
A Good Record on Certificates,
The Last Republican certificates to reach
Chairman Reeder were from this city, and
comprised the nominations made by this
weeks conventions They were forwarded
to Harrisburg to-day and are now on file
Democratic Chairman Wright was in AL
lentown to-day, where the bulk of the DEM
ocratic campaign work is done. He reports
q fairly clean record on the certificate line,
although a number found their way to 1882
Penn square to-day, in few of which i'm
perfections existed. As a rule the various
county chairmen have supervised the lists,
and no delay has been permitted in filing.
The form of ballot to be voted is still un-
settled, and will be until Attorney General
Hensel gives an opinion in the premises,
the subject having been referred to him for
disposition after last Tuesdays conference
between the three State chairmen and Sec
retary Of State Harrity.
No Complaint Against ii ,rrIty.
81 have not at anv time thought Mr..
Harrity prepared ballot for the purpose
of invalidating this States electoral vote"
said Mr.. Reeder, "and do not think Mr.
Wright has avoided the question, as some
statements have it. We have had a con-
ference, after two or three weeks, TO be
sure, buG it requires time to get busy men
together.
1.-THE ballot is defective, in my opinion,
because it directs that single cross oppo-
ell6 lu6 0aIDe III Tue u6dU Ol BU6 IlCkeG Is
sufficient to indicate that the voter intended
to vote q straight ticket. The cross or
mark, it appears to me, should not only be
opposite the party name, but also opposite
each group, such as National, State and
county. That is my contention, and it is
the view taken by number of able legal
minds. The Attorney General, however,
will decide the question at issue in a few
days"
