along the line in November. Thus the
New York Post says:

Vermont means. 1t is II disgust so pro-
found that many Democrats would not
take the trouble TO go to the polls their

1890. The Democrats of the Green

And the Boston Herald throws up the
sponge in this unusually frank fashion:
Maine is very likely to follow suit to

Joseph H. Choate as their candidate.
Even with Morton against Flower their
majority will probably be large The
indications are that they will gain New
Jersey also and it is not unlikely that
they will elect their Governor in Con-

thing more problematical the.Populist
strength there complexities the condition
OF affairs; but it seems to us that the
tide all through the North must be

now TO MARK THE BALLOT

The method of marking the ballot
has been somewhat changed from that
of two years ago so that a few words of
explanation may be needed. Above the
ticket of each party on the official ballot
is a vacant square. The voter must
make a cross like the letter K in one of
those squares to vote at all. A ballot
which has not a cross in one of these
squares will not be counted no matter
what other marks there may be upon it.
Two years ago the voter could either
make a cross at the right of the
party designated or he could make
a cross opposite the name of every
man he wanted to vote for.
But these methods are done away with
and he must now make cross in the
vacant square above one of the party
tickets. A cross there being absolutely
essential to voting at all the first thing
the voter should do after entering the
booth is to make the cross land it must be
a cross of the letter \ variety-in the
square above the ticket the most of
which he intends to vote. If he intends
to vote straight this is all that is re-
quired of him for the cross in the square
signifies that the voter who made it in
tended to vote for all the names below it
unless some of them are crossed out by him
and must be SO interpreted by the cleo
ton officers. If the voter does not want
to vote straight then after making his
cross in the square, he must mark out
the name of the person or persons he
does not want to vote for by drawing his
pencil through them, being careful to
leave mark that will be distinct, then he
must write in the blank spaces left for
that purpose the name of the person he
does want to vote for AS to whether
instead of writing in the name he can
attach a sticker with the name printed
upon 1t there has been no decision by the
courts. Secretary of State Fessenden
gives as his personal opinion that such
course would be legal and would en-
sure the counting of the ballot for the
name thus attached. The Secretary is
probably right, nevertheless such a
course is attended with some risk. We
cannot impress upon the voter too
strongly the necessity of making cross
in the vacant square. If, he omits to
make that cross he loses his vote. He
should therefore make the cross the
first thing. Ii he is going to do any
splitting.it should be done after the cross
is made, for there is great danger that
if he does the splitting first he will for
get to make the cross.

Tue Hon.John ". Deering has been
Down to brunswick, where he made a
speech which. according to the Argus,
was received with great enthusiasm.
ne Argus published portions of it yes
terday, having delayed day for the pur-
pose no doubt, of allowing Mr.. Deering
20 see the proof of it and declare it COR
rect. The speech is a most bewildering
production. 1t is largely devoted to State
issues, more properly issue, for there
appears to be only one in Democratic esti-
nation and that the resubmission of the
prohibitory amendment. Mr. Deering has
considerable to say about Gov. Cleaves,
and puts him in the pillory in this lucid
and powerful paragraph, which is
copied verbatim ct literatim from the
Argus's report of his speech:
Gov. Cleaves is reported AS greatly
trou bled about the tariff and declares
that the Democratic policy of reform
means simply free trade. Now with this
OBJECT lesson of free trade in rum staring
MIN in the face Furnishing like green
bay tree, he should not be solicitous in
che least for free trade in rum, the only
trouble being, as far as can see, is in
It's final results and the misery and deg
radiation resulting therefrom.
The Portland daily press., 1894-09-07

The Repu biican who refrafns from vot-
ing for Mr.. Samuel d. Plummer, or votes
for Mr.. Pearson or Mr.. Morrill, with the
idea that he thereby advances the cause
OF reform is deceiving himself. Either
Mr.. Plummer or Mr.. Morrill, is to be the
next sheriff of this county. There is no
chance of Mr.. Parsons election. Which
of these two gentlemen is the more likely
to enforce the liquor-law honestly and
mipartlally? Behind Mr.. Plummer is a
party, large part of which believes in
the prohibitory law and it's enforcement
Behind Mr. Morrill, is a party which has
adopted plank in it's platform for the
resu omission of the prohibitory amend
ment, because it thereby hopes to get rid
of the amendment, and set up instead of
the present law a license law, party too
which two years ago in this county prac-
tically declared for non-enforcement by
nominating and voting for candidate
that made no concealment sof the fact
that he did not believe in vigorously
enforcing the law. Now assuming that
the two candidates were equally dis
posed to enforce the law, from which
should we be likely to get the better en-
forcement. from Mr.. Morrill,, whom his
whole party would be constantly holding
back, or from Mr.. Plummer, whom a
large part at least of his party would be
constantly encouraging and urging to go
ahead? The answer to that question
seems obvious enough.

FOR SOLDIERS AND THEIR WIVES.
Arrangements Perfected for Location Of the
Proposed Home at Camp Benson.

Newport, Dec. 6.-(SpeciaD.- is I'M
derstood on good authority that at the
meeting held Saturday of the officers of
the Camp Benson Association, and Mrs.
Ella Jordan Mason, president of the
WOman's Relief Corps of the g. \. R.,
resulted in an agreement, which will
doubtless be ratified by both associations,
to locate here the proposed home for veter-
ans and their wives.
According to these arrangements the
Camp Benson Association agrees to give
the farm adjoining Camp Benson and
including the buildings thereon to the
proposed home. 1t will also sell to the
home organization for $1,000 all of the
annex SO called, save the two tiers Of
lots adjoining the associations grounds
proper, and part of which the. association
had previously sold to private parties. In
cluded in that part Of the annex" which
the Camp Benson Association agrees to
sell to the home association are lots which
have already been sold to private parties
These represent a value of about $500
and according to the agreements made
Saturday, the Camp Benson Association
will pay half the cost of buying these lots
back again.

APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Pension Bill Calls for SAL ,581,570 and
Fortficaiion Bill Wants 81 1.873.057.

Washington, Dee G.-The pension ap-
preparation bill reported to the
House, today, by O'Neil of Massa-
chusetts carries an appropriation of Sal,
5S1, so, being s200, 600 less than the csti-
mates, and so, 200, 600 below the appro-
priation for the current fiscal year. The
reduction is made in two items, in pay
mcnt of pensions and III the fees of exam
ining surgeons. For pensions, the bill
allows $40, 600, 900; for surgeons fees,
$500 900: being a reduction of $500, ,00O
under the amount allowed for the cur
rent year.
In the report accompanying the bill is
a table showing that III 1879 the number
of pensioners was 242, 155; the annual
value of pensions was S25, 493, 7i2, and
disbursements on their account, reported
by the treasury, $35, 121, 1872. In 1894 the
number of pensioners was 800 54i annual
value of pensions, S130, l20, S63; disburse-
ments by the treasury, $l41, 1,177,2S4.
The House appropriations committee,
today, agreed on the Notifications bill for
the next fiscal year. 1t carries an appro-
priation of 81, $40, 057, being So, AIS, ,64f
below the estimates on which it is based,
and s547, 946 less than the appropriation
for the current fiscal year.
The bill authorizes no contracts in ex-
cess Of the sums appropriated, but simply
contains appropriations in continuance oi
the policy adopted by the 50th, 51st, 52d
and the present Congress at the last ses
cinn
