CONGRESSMAN JONES on OUR ELEC.
lions

We found the following in the Washing
ton correspondence of the Baltimore Sun
a few days back:
Representative Jones' of Virginia. said:
~ do not believe there is any need for
ballot reform in Virginia. our present
laws are good ones, and our elections are
fair. | know there has been good deal
of talk about a change in methods, but
there is little reason for 1t. SO far as
am able TO discover II comes from the
men who have been defeated al the polls,
and are more dissatisfied with results
than with the laws. The elections in Nir-
gin!a are honest. Notwithstanding what
the Republicans say regarding them, and
/ think a change is not only unnecessary,
but is at present undesirable"
We are very much surprised at Mr..
Jones making these statements. Where
can he have been for the past twelve
months that he should say ''our elections
are fair-the elections in Virginia are
honest?" Has he never heard Of the ex-
posture that was made of the fraudulent
stufiing of the ballot-box with 800 false
ballots at Smithers' precinct. In Henrico
county? Has he not heard that the
officers who perpetrated the frauds con-
scented TO verdict of guilty being found
against them. on condition that they were
only fined so each and given day of
Imprisonment in Jail. and that in few
days they will be arrested by the county
officers and locked up in the Henrico
county jail as a spectacle for their fel-
low-countrymen to look upon?
And. II Mr.. Jones has heard OF this
case, does he not know that 1t is only
sample OF what prevails over that large
part OF the State where there Is a heavy
negro vote? And how absurd for Mr..
Jones to say that the talk about i'm
provement In our election laws comes
from men who have been defeated at
the polls. The Times has been leader

The suicide of Judge Elias Hale OF
Eoxcroft a. reported last week, has
brought TO light one of the most astounu-
ing cases Of defalcation and double iue
ever known in Maine. Indeed, the eo0h-
try can furnish few cases 10 parallei H.
Judge Hale Was at the time of his sui
eide over 20 wears OF age, and had been
universally respected and esteemed. Tie
was A venerable looking, genial gentle
man and always had a pleasant word Tor
his acouaiptances. He was one OF the
most prominent citizens In the county,
and had been Judge Of probate for many
wears. He has also been town treasurer
for thirty wears, and that position II l.
which has afforded the opportunity Tor
his stealings.
II appears that the business of the
town has been done in anything but
busipeSs-like manner. When W. T.
Cakes. the chairman of the present board
of selectmen. came into office last year,
he found Judge Hale had been acting a.
town treasurer during all these wears
without giving bond. Mr.. Cakes insist
ed upon the giving Of bond, ana u
was done Mr.. Cakes also wished 10
examine the books containing the loan
account OF the town, but Judge Hale
nut him of, exeusing himself by saying
that he had promised certain parties not
10 diyulge the state OF their loans. RI
nallv. being pressed by Mr.. Oakes, Judge
Hale told him he should have an oppor-
tunitv 10 examine the books the next
dav. That afternoon Judge Hale shot
hfu,aalf
Immediately after some town notes
were presented for payment OK which
the selectmen knew nothing, and they
secured Judge Hale's books and began
an investigation.
The investigation has resulted IN the
discovery that during the past twenty
five years Judge Hale has been borrow
ing money, which he has used himself
aud for which he has given town notes.
These notes SO far a. discovered amount
10 SlJ0.0 or more.
In order 20 keep the matter quiet, the
Judge, when be has handled money, mas
told the lender 10 say nothing about II,
As thereby ''vou will escape taxation.
and | will say nothing 70 push you.
so every man was silent about his own
loans, aud no one guessed at the true
state of affairs.
Whether the large amount OF the de-
fslcation will come out Of the town or
out OF the holders Of the notes u not vet
certain. The holders Of the notes sup
posed them 10 DC binding against the
town. but the town will contest the pay
meut OF them, and the general opinion
seems 10 De that the legality of the notes
Is at least questionable, and that the
holders are likely 10 lose the full amount.
What has become OF the money, Is
question that puzzles the people. Judge
Hale was not dissipated, nor did he have
any specially expensive habits. lie has
always lived well and in good style, and
was supposed 10 have considerable prop
ertv, but since his death il has been
learned that he had very little.
