The Blnnkaf RnIlnt.

Those of the Democratic organs which
have deemed it polite to denounce the
blanket ballet because it has been suggest
ed that the Republican Legislature of thii
State would probably adopt 1t. will fine
cold comfort in the message which Gov,
Flower, (Dem., , has just sent TO the New
Ysik Legislature. He says;
"Repeated experience with the recently
enacted ballot law has been suggested sew
eral desirable changes to promote simplicity
IN voting. The most important change
needed is one to avoid the multiplicity OF
ballots placed In the hands OF the voter.
The present system leads to confusion,
mistakes and annoyance. | recommend
the adoption of a 80 called blanket ballot,
with the names upon IL so arranged and
printed that the elector can easily vote for
the candidates of his choice"
Gov. Flower also goes further. and sug
gesis changes in the New York election
laws governing the selection of election
officers and regulating their duties; sug-
gestions which have also been brought
forward by the Republicans Of New Jer
sey He recommends personal regisira-
ton annually, and the publication OF
registry lists in all cities, in order
that such cutrages as were prspetrated at
Gravesend would be impossible.
These suggestions, coming from the
most influential Democratic governor Of
to day, being so thoroughly in accord with
Republican ideas 10 New Jersey, will go
far toward disarming the partisan opposi-
ton which would otherwise be made to
any effective ballot 'efOrm measure pro
posed by the incoming Legislature.
The ''blanket ballot" will compel vnler
to read his ballot, aud to select the men
he votes for. He will be compelled to
use this much intellectual activity at least,
and man who is incapable If reading
the names of candidates and OF knowing
which ones he wants to vote for is unfit to
vote.
Personal registration is matter which
may he discussed. Much will depend on
the requirements of any personal icgistra-
ton act, but Gov. Flower is right in ask
ing that the registry lists be published in
the newspapers.
Gov. Wcrts in his last annual message
went step further than all this. lie
recommended the nomination OF candi-
dates at the primaries, by popular party
vote, and not at conventions and by dele
gates. Whatever else may be said OF this
suggestion this much is true any meas
ure which will induce or compel atten-
dance at the primaries will be a measure
Invaluable in its efficient potection against
unfit and incompetent candidates, and oil
the greatest assistance in maintaining pur-
ity in elections. The final and conclusive
measure and the only one that will secure
the utmost safety and purity OF the ballot
box that Is possible, is measure compel
ling every citizen to vote who IS qualified to
vote. Elizabeth Journal.

-Messrs. Thos. r. Brimner aud w. J..
Ankrim, who have been engaged 10 sup
erintending the construction of the cleo.
trio light plant in this city, for some time,
have invented simple apparatus for
"dimming" electric lights. In the GER
emones OF various secret societies the
turning down of the lights is required so
that but dim light is seen, aud in order
TO do this with electric lights very ex-
pensive outfit of resistance coils hap
been necessary. With this invention, the
operation OF two small switches is all that
is necessary, and the expense is inconsider-
able. Ii appears to be a very valuable
invention. The apparatus has been prac-
ticslly tried in Red Jacket Tribes lodge
room, over Cochran's drug store, and il
has proved TO be success. The wires
are so arranged, that part or all of the
lights may be dimmed, and the dimming
may be at will at either end OF the room.

Another nlnnder.

Monmouth Democrat.
1t will be seen by the report which is
printed in another column of the "D,m-
ocrat, ;" that the Democratic leaders have
committed another blunder by attempting
to defeat the organization II the Senate
according to the expressed will of the peo
pie at the recent election, pretending that
Senator Bradley is not entitled to seat
because he gave away toy scrub brushes to
the women and treated the people who at
tended his meetings to coffee and cigars
instead of whiskey and beer as his opps-
nents did. or course nobody takes any
stock whatever in this sudden spasm of
virtue with which the ''bossesn who in
spired the movements are afflicted, but all
the same, they had to have excuse for their
action, and they base 1t upon the toy scrub
brush advertising card and the coffee and
cigars. 1t was understood in Trenton
from reliable source, that the deadlock
which has been created by this action is
designed to force II compromise with the
Republican majority and to head off, II
possible, the programme alleged to have
been marked cut by the Republicans for
certain legislation in regard to the offices.
This probably is the solution of the mat
ter, for it is incredible that the Democrats
Of the Senate believe that they can ride
over law and precedent and the expressed
will Of the people at the ballot box on SO
flimsy an excuse, and out-vote eleven fair
ly elected members with ten votes. The
explanation, however, exposes the weak
ness of the position they have taken, aud
leads to the conclusion that 1t must soon
break down.
There was another report on the streets
in Trenton, on Tuesday. that is not capa
BILE OF so innocent an explanation. II
was TO the effect that the race-track men
want to bring about dead lock aud hold
it until after the 18th of March and so pro-
vent the repeal of the act of last Winter
until after they have commenced theil
Spring racing, the idea being that any
proceedings against them after they have
commenced racing can be kept In several
courts for two years before final decision
could be rendered, and in the meantime
they would make money enough to salts fy
them and they would be willing to quit.
But whatever the motives lying behind
the movement, there can be no room for
doubt il one moves about among the poo
pie, that the Demccrat have Numbered
again and done the party at large in the
State another serious injury.

MIR. John Finney, of this city, died
rather suddenly yesterday (Tuesdsy) af-
ternoou. He had been in failing health
for some months but was not supposed to
be dangerously sick. He WAS attending
to his business as usual on Saturday last,
and took drive on Sunday.
Mr.. Finney was one Of the most enter
prising and active business men Of our
town. lie bought the Thatcher spoke
factory some twenty five or more years
ago, and soon after removed from Stock
ton to this city, where he has since lived.
The business has since grown to large
proportions under Mr.. Finney's excellent
business management, and goods were
shipped to all parts of the world. A few
years ago, enc or two others were admit
ted int partnership and the firm was
named the Lambertville Spoke ManufAc-
turing Co.
Mr.. Finney was thorough business
man, and gave his entire attention to his
business. He would not allow himself
to be drawn into outside speculalions,
and his careful management made a sue
cess where less strict methods would have
resulted in failure.
He served for time as member Of
our common council and made an efficient
officer. For some years he had been a
director OF the Lsmbertville National
Bank.
In his social relations be was pleasant
aud agreeable man, and 10 his family
kind hearted and indulgent.
His funeral will take place on Friday
morning of this week, at 10 o'clock.
