Neither the Enterprise nor any Other
| paper can undertake to make the Demo
cratic party solely responsible for the
silver legislation of the past congres:
| without making ridiculous spectacle Of
itself. Any well informed person who
takes that able periodical, the Congress
sional Record, must know, that upon the
final vote on the bill repeating the pur.
chasing clause of the Sherman law the
Republican and Democratic parties were
hopelessly divided. The vote in the
house was, for repeal: Democrats, 124
Republicans, 50; total, 1873. The vote
against repeal was, Democrats, So; Re
publicans, Is; Populists, 8; total, 81. II
follows therefore that the number OF
Democrats who voted for the bill was
less than twice as many as voted against
it; while nearly four times as many Re-
publicans voted for the bill as voted
against it. The bill therefore passed the
house through the combined vote of a
small majority of the Democrats and a
large majority of the Republicans.
When the bill reached the senate the
vote was even more striking. Here there
was vote for repeal as follows: Dem
ocrats, 20; Republicans, 30; total, 43. The
vote against repeal was Democrats, 49,;
Republicans, 8; Populists, 4; total, 80. 1t
thus appears that in the senate more Re-
publicans than Democrats voted for re-
peal, and that practically as many Dem
ocrats voted against repeal as for it,
while over twice as many Republicans
voted for repeal as against it. The bin
would have been defeated in the senate
had the Republicans voted against it in
the same proportion as the Democrats
did; and the failure of the Republicans to
vote in either house would have killed the
bill, as Democratic quorum was not in
favor of it. 1t will be seen, therefore,
that repeal in the senate was accom-
plished mainly through Republican votes,
and that Republican votes in the house
helped to make ajorlty for the bill
that would not otherwise have been OBJ
tanned. The effort of the Enterprise to
disclaim any responsibility for the repeal
of legislation favorable to silver is char
acteristic of the Republican party, which
has always made speciality of doing
what it ought not to do when in power,
and thereupon Sinking the responsibility
therefor. While it is true that the DEM
ocrats could have defeated the repeal law,
it is equally true that the Republicans
could have done the same. Neither party
did this, and whatever blame exists in the
matter is to be shared by both parties.
The long and short of the mat
ter is, as Mr.. Joseph said in our
columns few days ago, that the silver
question will not be an issue between the
two great parties this fall, for neither are
united. We appeal to the records, how
ever, in support of our statement that
silver had more and stronger friends on
the Democratic side of the last congress
than among the Republicans.

THE BALLOT LAW-SUGGESTED
IMPROVEMENT.

A San Francisco newspaper says that
there has not been a normal election"
since the introduction of the Australian
ballot system into the United States. 1t
then proceeds to compare election
periods in the various States to prove its
theory, though what it means by a
"nornal election" is left involved. The
only sound conclusion it reaches is this,
that the new system tends to keep party
managers on good behavior. because the
ballot assures the independence of the
voter. 1T is not often that the Examiner
manages to arrive at even one sound
judgment
But the assumption of that paper in
error must not be allowed to pass I'M
challenged. for the truth is that the tidal
wave is Just as high, sweeping and re-
sistless in the States where the
Australian ballot is not in use as In the
States where it is. This simple tact over
turns the entire theory of the Examiner
an accounting for the recent Waterloo
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1894-11-13

With such a ballot form, and it is sub
stantially that which gives satisfaction in
Indiana, besides the column by title
vignette giving the political character of
the ticket, the political initial is placed
opposite each name as with us, so that by
no possibility can mistake be made.
AS matter of course the State tick cts,
the national tickets and municipal tickets
should be separated in such a ballot,
either by separate ballot sheets, or by dis
tinct and separate headings on a common
sheet, in order that the voter may vote
straight on State nominees of his party,
for instance, but for nominees of other
parties on the municipal or national
ticket if he wished.
By such arrangement of the ballot as
has been found wise in Indiana the full
purpose of the reform system is attained,
namely, the perfect independence of
the voter, and the absolute secrecy of
his ballot. OF course the marginal and
detachable number on the exterior of the
ballot for identification should be re-
tanned as we have it now, since it is
a great improvement upon the original
Australian ballot, which in Australia has
spector, or one of the judges of election,
and under which secrecy of the ballot
may be invaded, since the Indorser, if at
all skilled with the pen, can so write his
initials in each case, that he can thereafter
identify them as placed upon the ballot of
a particular person. In one test case of
of ten out of twenty ballots cast to prove
the weakness of the Australian ballot in
that respect.
1t should also be provided with such
ballot in use as we suggest that ticket
column stamped only opposite the word
straight shall be counted as one vote
for each candidate thereon, but that if
ticket column is stamped straight, and
then any name in an opposing ticket is
stamped also, the whole ballot shall be
rejected. After observation of five cleo
tions in this city, we are convinced that
the system above outlined is the better,
as the RECoRD-UNIoN held it would be
at the time the ballot law bill was under
discussion before the Legislature.
In this matter, however, if the voting
machine is demonstrated to be entirely
practicable. it should supersede all ball
lots, thus conserving economy and Civ
ing the actual result of the election within
the minute in which the polls close.
The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1894-11-13

and ascribing it to "abnormapr voting
systems. And this fact does not one
whit initiate against reasons for retain
Ing tie Australian ballot law. It
simply proves that where it is in opera
ton voters more easily assert their indie
pendence than where it is not. AS it
should be the aim of the State to remove
every possible obstacle to the perfect
freedom of the elector, it follows that the
reform ballot law should be adopted in
all the States.
AS is well known. the RECORD UNION
was the earliest and most constant advo-
cate of the new ballot law in this State.
For two years it stood absolutely alone in
that advocacy, and it waited patiently for
eight years to witness the adoption of the
law, and two more for all the press to
swing into line as the friend Of the new
system, which is now, as the Tulare
Register well says, too firmly intrenched
IN the affections of the people to be
shaken out
We are therefore entitled, if any one is,
to speak with openness upon the sub
Ject, and to suggest that the objections we
raised to the form of the ballot, arid
against which this journal protested TO
the Legislature, have now been demon
strated to be sound and to have even
more force to-day than when this paper
first entered them. We refer to the
scheme of the law that requires the alpha
betical arrangement of the names of cam
dida.es on the ballot and the placing of all
the names in a common list, so that, I'M
der the decision OF the Supreme Court, it
is impossible to vote a straight ticket,
and it is made more difficult to vote a
mixed ticket, in addition to which a
voter may, against his desire, by pardon
able inadvertence vote mixed ticket.
At the time of the adoption of the law
we pointed out that the Indiana form of
ballot was the most desirable, and the
reason for it is as strong to-day as it was
then. In Indiana the blanket ballot OBJ
tains as it does here. But in that State
the party tickets and the list of indie
pendents occupy separate columns, while
over the head of each party column is
such device within given space as the
political party may choose to adopt.
There is also blank beneath the head of
the ticket, the marking of which indi-
Gates the desire of the voter that his YER
dict be recorded for the whole ticket
straight. Such ballot would at the head
look somewhat like this:

JAMES II. BUDD.

James II. Budd, Governor-elect of CAL
Francisco Eranailer last Sunday, states
the case of the people of California with
that dlrectness and plainness which is
characteristic the man. He says:
"The plain solution, as it seems to me,
would be for the Government to take the
roads and operate them in the interest of
the people of California and the other
Pacific States. This should be on the
basis of the bare cost of the service, and
this again, as I have been assured by
competent persons familiar with the facts
and with such matters. would be about
one-thirdFof the present charges"
This presents the issue very plainly
and comes from an authority equivalent
to the Governor of the State. 1t shows
that Mr.. Budd has joined in the hue and
cry for a Government service on the basis
of the cost of movement and maintenance
of the physical condition of the roads.
Is anyone so dull as not to be able to
see that the people of California are de-
handing that the subsidies given to the
Pacific railroads shall be transferred to
commences with the statement, 1.-THE
plain solution, it seems to me, would be
for the Government to take the roads and
operate them in the interest of the people
I'M
solution. 1t is to respect the rights of the
builders of the roads, and have some re-
gard for the interests of the stockholders;
permit them to acquire the ownership of
the road upon long time for the pay
ment and at low rate of interest. The
time for payment should be of sufficient
be sufficiently low to allow reasonable
charges for transportation to pay that in
terest and create sufficient sinking fund
to absorb the principal.
Mr.. Budd has defined the issue at bar
with great lucidity. It would be no
longer possible for him and those who
agree with him to conceal their position
by any ambiguity of statement. The
road is to be taken by the Government
and operated in the interest of the people
of California on the basis of the bare cost
of service.
Mr.. Budd further on refers to the value
of such operation as fixing definite
Limitation on all transportation by other
lines. That is very taking proposition,
but, as heretofore noted, it means that the
people of California are going to demand
that Instead of permitting the stockhold-
ers to acquire legal interest in the prop
erty TO which they have an undoubted
equitable claim, they will demand that
the stockholding interest in the Pacific
roads be extinguished without regard to
the rights of the stockholders, and that
Government ownership and Government
operation at a rate which promises no
return of profit to stock or TO capital shall
be inaugurated. Let those who attempt
to discuss this question meet this issue
fairly,
