NO FillEY MEN WANTED.

The Warner managers of the re-
publican state league have demanded
and received the resignation of the
secretary of that organization. In
fact if not in theory the secretary was
ANONYMOUSLY "bounced" from his po-
sition. The crime of which Secretary
Isaacs was guilty was that of being "a
Filley man." The crime of which he
was accused was that of saying that in
his judgment Col. Stone would beat
Major Warner about 81, 900 votes.
The internecine quarrels of repub-
lican spoils hunters in Missouri are
not matter of concern except rs they
may he of current interest from the
news standpoint. This paper doesn't
care if all the anti-Warner republi-
cans and all the anti-Fil-
ley republicans-and there are about
As many Of one brood as the other
cut each others policical throat be-
fore breakfast. What it does care for
is the fact that this latest exhibition of
arrogant intolerance upon the part Of
the Warner Republicans will in all
probability cement the Filley men in
their determination to 60 fishing on
November 8.
And these men are the workers, the
schemers, the brains ofthe Republican
party in the state Of Missouri. They
have been derided and insulted before.
Now they are ostracised. They are
told to get out.
1t will not be surprising under the
circumstances If Stone beats Warner
60, 900 votes.

But this is all childs play on the part
of the republicans, with a mixture Of
''sour grapes" that Mr.. Blaine, who
stands head and shoulders above any
other republican leader in the country

HOW MAINE WENT.

The night after the Maine election
Joe Man!cy telegraphed the Tribune
that Gen. Cleaves had majority"
of II 200 over Mr.. johnson, which he
proceeded to compare with the average
Republican majority" in recent years
instead of the ''pluralities' doing this
of course, to break the force of
Humpty Dumpty Harrisons great fall.
Now that the returns from Maine
are all in, the artful Joseph is well
come to all the comfort lie can get
from them by 'majoritie>' or plural
tiles" The Republican 'majorities' on
the Governor vote in 1881 and 1888
we're u. 29l and - 371S respectively
an average of II, 334. The majority
in 1892 is 5,154, loss of 8, 254 votes
or GO per cent Of the average MAORI
".
The true test of the sentiment of
Maine on national issue i found in
the vote for Congressman. The Re
publican majority On the Congress
ional vote in 1884, 1888 and 1890 was
1887, 1870 and l4,S54 respective
ly-an average Of 1850. In 1892
the majority IS only 1890, a loss of
60 per cent.
The to.a! plurality on the Con
gressional vote is but 9,711.

fact that Senator Hill is not only a
grand organizer, but that he possesses
the confidence of the democracy of
New York to marked degree, and
whatever his republican or democratic
enemies may think about it, the

may be regarded rs the formal begin

it is something more. 1t gives shape
and consistency to the campaign itself.

In speaking of the prospect in New
York, the Times of New York City
SAYS that while few things are more
uncertain than the behavior of the
relatively small number of voters who
determine the electoral results in close
states, and nothing is more foolish than
reckless prediction in political con-
tests, it has seemed 10 us that all the
figures and nearly all the important
facts of which politicians take account
stand against tie proposition that Mr..
Carter will carry New York for his
party's candidates. The Philadelphia
Ledger. a newspaper of his own party,
and one that is notably dispassionate
and unprejudicial, surveys the New
York field, and also reaches the con-
clusion that Mr.. Carter has uphill
work before him in attempting to win
the tlirty-six electoral votes of this
state. Men of all parties must recog-
nize the fact that Senator Hills Brook
Ign speech was an exceedingly able
and skillful presentation Of the issue
of the campaign. 1t was an effective
argument for the election of Mr..
Cleveland. Moreover as the Ledger
points out, Mr.. Hills appearance in
the canvass with such a speech is a
political symptom Of much significance.
Its import has probably not been mis-
understood in the republican head
quarters.

attitude he assumes upon leading doc
trines of Governmental policy.
But it is vastly different when the can
didate is approached by other influences
and asked to surrender his independence
and permit his judgment to be shackled
by pledges to support specific measures
as yet not formulated, and upon which
he is entitled to deliberate after he is
sworn in as legislator.
Mr.. Alexander has done a public serv-
ice by his manly and fearless letter. He
has had the courage to tell the Traffic
Association and all other pledge bull
dozers that he viii go into the Legisla-
ture, if at all, upon his party platform
and his individual right to the exercise of
his own judgment as to what is best pro-
motive of the interests Of the State and

WHAT TO DO AND NOT TO DO.

Voters should begin from this day to
put into their minds fixedly these things,
which they should do and not do.
Prepare at home a sample ballot. Each
voter is entitled to one, and can procure
it of the County Clerk, or he can cut it
from one of the officially published bal
lots.
Taking this into the booth next Tues
day he can stamp his ballot from it in two
minutes by the watch.
But the voter must remember that
only the official rubber stamp can be used,
except he wishes to write in a name in a
blank. He need not then stamp opposite
it. 1t will be counted if written.
He must not mark two names for one
Office.
The Supreme Court has decided that a
voter may vote for whole group of Presi-
dental Electors by voting for one in the
group. But no other in another group
should then be stamped. If the voter di-
vides his Electoral vote, voting for some
of one and some of another party,
then he must vote for nine Presidential
Electors, or his vote will be thrown out
The safe way to do is to stamp opposite
each of the nine names for Electors that
the voter chooses.
The voter must not vote more names
than directed by the line at the head of
any group of nominees.
He must put the X only in the square
at the right Of the name he chooses.
He should vote for election of United
States Senator by the people; for an
educational qualification for voters;
against refunding the debt; for the Depot
Act; against one hundred days of legis-
lative sessions; for the limit to debts bv
counties, cities and towns; against the
Lieutenant-Governor salary increase; for
the amendment relative to deficiency
bills; for the amendment relative to
charter-making by cities.
He must fold his ballot before leaving
the booth. Begin by folding the sheet
end to end, then end to end again, and so
on, until there is a slip about an inch in
width, with number appearing on the
outside fold.
Do not tear off this number-the In
spector or Judge of Election will do that.
Going out of the booth, the voter should
announce his name to the Inspector at
the ballot-box, and wait until the Clerk
responds Correct"
The voter will receive two ballots, one
darker in color than the other. This is
the municipal ballot, and is to be folded,
when stamped, separately and carried out
of the booth with the other.

PLEDGE BULLDOZING.

The reply of Mr.. J. S. Alexander,
legislative candidate, to the impudent
demands of the Traffic Association
clearly exposes the danger and un-
wisdom of pledge-making outside of
platform declaration.
Mr.. Alexander tells Mr.. Leeds, with
polite emphasis, that half dozen other
cranks have demanded of HIM specific
pledges as to this, that, and the other
policy as the price of their votes, and
that should he agree to their demands he
would be facing to all points of the COM
pass at once. That should he take the
pledges they seek to exact he would be
forestalled in judgment upon about every
subject that will come before the Legis-
lature.
Yet each one of these pIedge-exactors
has as good a right to have an affirmative
reply as has the other. 1t follows that
the self-respecting candidate can only do
as Mr.. Alexander has done-say to them.
one and all, ST was nominated by a
political party, upon a platform first
adopted and submitted to me- I have no
right to erect a different platform for my
party, nor to add to it by taking pledges
presented by various people and associa-
tions.'
But above and beyond these reasons,
and infinitely superior TO them, is that
other, so forcibly stated by Mr.. Alexan-
der; that is, the right of the legislator to
the enjoyment and exercise of his own
Judgment when he is once in the legisla-
tive body, as to what is wise and for the
best interests of the people to do. 1t is
his right to speak and vote in the Legis-
lature as he deems will conserve in the
highest degree the welfare of the people.
1t is better far 1hat the legislator err in
such votes than that he should be the
mere machine for carrying out the pre-
conceived ideas of a few men outside of
the legislative body.
a candidate may be very properly
bound by a platform of principles, for he
accepts nomination with the platform in
view, and he thereby becomes the expo
nent of the principles enunciated, and
goes to election with the fun knowledge
that the people know and understand the
