REGISTRY FRAUDS.
Attempt to Prostitute the Ballot Box i'm
Camden County. New Jersey.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. Ia morning pa
per here to-day exposes the registry frauds
in Camden county, New Jersey and shows by
illustrations where the voters are registered
from. These are principally stables at the
Gloucester race track and other places-sa-
looms and small houses that could not pos
sibly accommodate the number of men who
are claiming residence in them. 1t is stated
that hundreds of alleged voters are reg
istered from the race-track stables, which
are but one-story sheds, and unfit for hab-
itation. Thirty-three names are put down
as living in another old barn, while large
number of saloons have anywhere from ten
to twenty-five alleged voters registered as
living in them. In a house of four rooms
there are thirteen names OF voters on the
books. 1t Is claimed that in numerous in
stances the same men have been registered
from Inherent wards, some under their own
names, others assuming fictitious ones. The
article adds: Bogus voters are registered
from every stable in the race-track in
closure. some thirteen in all. The stables
are numbered, and the employ yes-jockeys,
stable boys and labOrers not otherwise reg
istered-have been assigned to them From
stable alone thirty-nine names are reg
istered Most OF these race-track people
and hangerS-On have no right to vote as
they have legal residence in New Jer-
sey. Another method OF fraudulent regis

locating them. For instance, nearly a hun

day in a clear firm voice. AS soon as the
journal had been read Mr. Holman, the
chairman of the caucus, offered resolution
for the formal election of Mr.. Basley, and
being agreed TO, the new chaplain was es-
corted To the bar of the House. where, with
raised hand, he took the oath of Office.
The Speaker cleared the minor matters
from his table, executed communications,
etc, before presenting the repeal bill. When
he presented the New York and New Jer-

as has been a familiar one all over the
country, and the work he has done for
the art to which his life has been devoted
has met with keen appreciation wherever
music lovers may be found. His position
in the musical world is unique. He is
not only a master in the ordinary sense,
but a dictator whose behests are willing
ly listened to by thousands whom he has
taught to appreciate what is best in
him ''the central figure of the musical
life Of New York for a generation, the
laureate of the past and the herald Of the
future and the man who can elicit such
praise from such source is not made of
common CLAW
MIR. Thomas has been SO long identi-
fed with music in America and so prom
inent in movements distinctly American
that it is not generally remembered that
he is of German parentage and birth.
He was born at Essen in the kingdom Of
Hanover in 1855 and lived there until
he was 10 years of age, when he came
with his parents to America. Ills fa-
ther was an accomplished violinist and
himself directed his sons musical eGu-
cation. The boy played solos in public
when very young, and at the age Of Is
years was first violin in the orchestra
that accompanied Jenny Lind on her
American tour, playing in the same po-
sition for Sontag two years later and
afterward for Grisi and Mario.
In 1866 he gave a series of chamber
concerts, and since then his dolngs are
sufficiently well known to need no de-
failing. His symphony concerts, begun
in 1864 and continued until 1878, and his
summer night concerts, begun in 1866
and kept up for several years, made him
popular idol i'll New York, and that
he had not worn out his reputation there
was evident by the farewell dinner ten
dered to him upon his departure for Chi
cago to accept the musical dictatorship
Of the big fair, at which many of New
York's best citizens assisted and George
William Curtis presided and used the
words quoted above.

a WOMAN SUFFRAGE RECRUIT.

~,

Kate Field Joins Miss Anthony In the Bat
tie For tho Ballot.
Kate Field has had many missions in
her day. She has been journalist,
lecturer and an actress, she has been an
apostle of dress reform and an advocate
OF yitic1lture, she has undertaken to
abolish the duty on art and to extermi-
nate the Mormons, and although her eff
forts have not always been crowned with
complete success she has worked with
an intelligence and fearlessness that
have won her many admirers
Miss Fields latest mission is to accom-
plish the enfranchisement Of her sex,
and she goes about it in Characteristic
style. She joined the woman's srffra-
gists in a public and dramatic manner at
the woman's congress in Chicago recent
ly. Miss Anthony was taken by SUR
prise, but received the recruit with pride
and thanksgiving. Like many Of Miss
Fields new departures, her action was
wholly without warning and astonished
her auditors. She said she was tired of
seeing uneducatel foreigners coming
into this country and making our laws
and demanded equal rights for Ameri-
can women. She states that she never
advocated universal suffrage and never
believed i'll it. She favors s'a restricted
suffrage based on education and cllarac-
ter. The suffrage belongs only to those
who have earned it,
Kate Field first distinguished herself
20 years ago as a correspondent in Lon
don and Paris and has since had an ac-
tive and many sided career, with which
the reading public is reasonably fa1nil-
lar Her latest and not least successful
venture is the publication of paper in
Washington. Concerning this enter
prise she says: "When I thought of es-
tablisE,ing my magazine, | looked about
and talked to some men. They wanted
SO much that asked one of them if he
would not take my watch. just at this
time two Vasssr girls came to me- They
said they had just sold a paper which
they had bought fer $$ssslaa. 90 at.$$sl 800 T.

we are?'' ".~.

abroad independently Of his salary y
Mr.. Quinby's connection with The
Free Press began in 1861, when he ;sc-
cepted q temporary position upon what
was then a paper of small circulation
and merely local influence. though it
was upward of 80 years old. Mr.. Quin-
by's connection must have been pleasant,
for it soon became permanent and ulti-
mately very profitable IN 1858 he was
made managing editor and in 1879 be
came its editor in chief and principal
owner, and under his administration the
circulation and influence Of the paper
were widely extended His literary
taste is of a superior quality, and he is
said to hold rigid views Of the mission of
journalism as public educator.
Although he has always been an ear
nest Democrat and his paper has ranked
high among the leading Democratic jour
nails Of the country. Mr.. Quinby has
hitherto refused office He would prob
ably have found Office easy enough to
get, too, for he is one Of the most popu-
lar men in the Wolverine State and has
long been a personal friend Of President
Cleveland, from whom he might have
had an attractive appointr sent in 1885 If
his inclinations had led hila to accept it.
Mr. Quinby is a native of Maine and
was born at Brewer Dec. ID, 1885. He
is a graduate Of the University Of Michi-
gan and a member Of the bar Of that
state, though Of course not in the active
practice Of his profession
