The secret ballot system is new and
complicated, and great care should
be taken to see that every voter is
instructed as to its use 'In Novem-
Der the new election law, with all its
complicated machinery, will go into
effect, with the great masses of the
voters entirely unacquainted with its
provisions. To still futher complicate
matters the election precincts all over
the State have been reapportioned,
and many voters will be in ignorance
even of their voting places. Is not
this enough to substantiate the asser-
ton that thorough organization is
more essential to party success than at
any previous time"

after all, and if he has educated him.
self to believe that the laws should be
80 construed that there shall be the
greatest good done to the greatest
number, he will be prejudiced in that
direction and his decisions will lean
toward the common people. If, on
the other hand, he, like Judge Holt
has done, has educated himself Ia
think that high protective tariff
should be imposed upon the people
for the benefit of the millionaires OF
the East, then his decisions will lean
from the people and toward the rich
few. Judge Holt may be ever so
honest and yet be very unsafe Judge
for us to have. There is new cousti-
tuition to be construed in the next
eight years.

become more of a nuisance than the
mice. They roamed all over the big
building from the subterranean coin
vaults to the file-rooms in the attic.
They would steal luncheons carried
to the department by the clerks, and
were generally in the way. 1t was
finally determined to clear them out
and number of box traps were Sc
cured and set in different parts of the
building. The cats were taken alive
and then drowned. In all seventy
five of the felines have been killed.

IMPORTANT AND TRUE--THE IN
DEPENDENT RACKET.

IT is entirely within the lines OF
honest politics that candidate may
make an Independent race for an office
and it is not evidence IN ITSELF OF
any sort Of hypocrisy that Judge
Holt has so made his canvass for Judge
of the Court of Appeals. But his
past political characteristics make us
look with suspicion upon his So
called INDEPENDENCE (?) and we now
predict THAT THE LEARNED JUDGE AT
THE LAST MOMENT, BOLDtY,AND IN THE
FACE OF HIS VIOLENT PROTEsTATIoNs
OVER TIE DISTRICT, THAT THE OFFICE
Is NON-POLITICAL AND THAT he WOULD
not RUN AS A PARTY CANDIDATE, (as-
sertion we can establish by hundreds
of atfidavitS if denied), WILL PLACE
HIS NAME ON THE STRAIGHT REPUBLI-
CAN TICKET. We believed at the start
and believe now that the INDEPEN-
DENT HoLESo grandiloquently assumed
by him in his Fourth of July speechs
over the country, was adopted to
mislead and deceive the voter; and
just as certain as the day of election
comes, this distinguished indepen-
dents name will be found on the poll
book under the picture of the "coon"
or the "eagle" whichever device the
Republicans may adopt.

Judge w. II. Holt is a Republican,
one who is in favor of bringing down
upon our people all the evils the
damnable Force Bill would crowd
upon us. Judge James ii. Hazel

its evils.

Judge w. II. Holt, who declares TO
the Democratic voter that he is non
political and to the Republican that
they must get their forces out, is very
busy in the interest of his election,
but James II. Hazelrigg, the Demo-
cratic nominee, will be close after
him in few days, and Judge Holt
may as well pack his trunk prepare
tory to settling down to the practice
of his profession. Republicans don't
like it because he does not care for
porty organization, that he is for Holt
first and party second, and Democrats
will not touch him because they have
a candidate better qualified, and
who is incorporating in his faith.

Hove the dreamy twilight hour,
So gentle, pure and fair,
When low, mysterious music
Floats gently on the air.
When one by one the bright-eyed stars
Peep gently from the sky,
And watch DER earth, while b.eezes sing
Their low-toned lullaby.
This is the hour when angels bring
Their messages to each,
And murmur softly in our ears
The truths they fain would teach.
Now recollections Of the past
Bring to us one by one
Adown the isles of memory
The faces long since gone.
Again we hear the loving tones
OF mother, soft and low,
Singing that sweetest lullaby
We loved SO long ago.
And now we see our father dear
In his accustomed place,
And listen to the lightest word
He speaks, with wondrous grace.
While here come t%hronging to our view
The sisters. bright and fair,
With merry faces. sparkling eyes,
And not II anxious care.
And brothers laughing, gleeful face,
Peeps at us as of yore;
He comes with many boyish pranks
TO tease us DER and DER.
So gentle memories, such as these,
Around me cling, the while
Sending betimes the falling tear,
Amor the grateful smile.
o quiet hour of restful ease!
When thus, at close of day,
We Danish from us busy care
And dream the hourawav.
Bring soothing to each aching brow,
And peace TO every heart;

To ali thy calm impart.
