greatest fort to stem popular sfavor, he
ran behind his party 29G votes Ia his own
home, Belfast, where he is best known
with sll his points Of fines or ulf1tness,
be ran behind 80 votes. Ia all these Gov
erner Burleigh led bis party handsomely.

Tie Importance Of the Primaries.

The Importance Of the Primaries.
Before the recent ward Republican GU
cuses we're held in the city the JoI RsAL
very earnestly urged upon those in
charge Of them the advisabilty Of using
the check list l. urged the vital impor-
lance Of having these caucuses 80 con-
Quoted that their result might be abso-
lutely above suspicion. Its suggestion
for securing fair plsy at the primaries
was vigorously seconded by petitions
from a large number Of Republican
voters Of the city asking for
the adoption Of this safeguard
This was not granted aad the eaueuses
were opened up TO the crowd without
any certain nneans Of knowing whether a
considerable number Of those who voted
were members of the party Or even resi-
dents Of the ward where they assumed
70 aes. II is safe TO say that none Of the
caaeBses in the four contested wards
were free from abuses. Those in Ward
! and 2 doubtless came the nearest TO it
and the results Of them were represen-
tatiye Of the views al majority Of The
voters entitled TO act In them,
yet it is no secret that par
ties Voted ia each OF them who
had not the slightest right TO do 80.
n Ward } every possible preeaution
was taken to ensure fairness. The con-
mittee was composed Of well known
citizens, the ballots we're cast in one hat,
the voters passing In single file before
the committee announcing their names
and the street on which they lived Men
who were challenged were obliged to
wait reference To the check list. Next
TO the use OF the check list this method
Of conducting a caucus Ia undoubtedly
the best tn. could have been devised.
yet the fact remains that 10 spite OF all
these precautions, Democrats ard resi-
dents OF other wards succeeded in
running the gauntlet and depositing
their ballots in the hat. To he sure the
number Of them was not large, and did
not Affect the result Of the ballot, but the
system tina. makes II possible for ineli
gible men to act at all Is fundamentally
wrong. A city official was seen to shake
a man from Ward BY the hand and con
graduate him on his success in getting
past the committee and dspositlng his
ballot in the hat, and some one cast
70 ballots in bunch 1t il
to the credit Of the committee that they
promptly stepped upon this fraud. The
bunch of ballots were placed in the
keeping Of Gen Haynes. the chairman
OF the caucus. and at the close Of the
count, were recorded, by unanimous
consent, as one ballot. Had Ill Of these
votes been counted it would not have
changed the result Of the ballot, but the
fact that with all the precautions taken
it was possible for them to be thrown at
all ia proof enough Of the need of
voting by check list al all
primaries, As we have shown. all
the precautions adopted in Ward ! did
not secure absolute fairness In the vote,
it an be seen, Therefore, that where none
Of these precautions were adopted the
chances for fraud were almost limitIess

In giving the vote at the election
we take the strength Of the ticket as
shown by vote for ms 0rity Of the
candidates in each ward. In Wards
and ; the caucus vote Is considerably cx-
ceeded by the votes cast at the polls, but
in Wards and the reverse is so decid
edly the case as to tell its own story.
The successful candidate in the Ward )
caucus himself received / more votes
than the party could register at the
polls on election day, all this in face
of the fact that both the Republican
vote and the Republican majority were
materially increased over those of last
year. These abuses are Inherent in the
system adopted for conducting these
caucuses. In times of excitement and
strenuous contest It has always proven
fatally and wofuiy defective. Cities are
coming more and more 10 the use OF the
check lists in the primaries Portland not
only uses them there, bug the Australian
Ballot system as well. and the results
have thus far been highly satisfactory.
With method Of voting that places
party success largely upon the popular
ity OF the party ticket it seems to US that
this way OF conducting cauenses must,
of sheer necessity come into general use.
We believe that fairness at the prims
ries Is one of the cardinal principles of
Republieanism and we are fully con.
vinced that the size Of augusta is now
such that in order to attain that desira-
bic end here we must adopt the use Of
the check lists. as has been done with
such good results by the Republican
brethren elsewhere.
