THE REMsEN METHOD OF ELECTION.

nm upANDRETH PROPOSES TO PRESENT a ki-oo-
LUTON TO THE REPUBLICAN STATE con-
yENTIoN RECOMMENDING 1T TO THE IA
yoRABLE CONFEDERATION or THE
LEGISLATURE
1t has been ascertained that DR.. George a. Bran
dreth OF Sing Sing proposes 10 present the foho"-
ing resolution to the Republican state convention
next Tuesday:
pesoIved That we recommend 10 the favorable
confederation OF the Legislature the adoption OF
the Remson method o. election, now successiuiIy
used since 1892 IN Australia. We believe the ma
ables two minority parties 10 support tneli
own candidates, and at the same time unite anu
thus become majority II gives 10 every . oIee
a first and second choice, ana prevents tNc eieN-
ton of a minority candidate.
The Remsen system OF ballong was originated
by Daniel s. Remsen a lawyer OF NO. bJ WaH-st'
It has been adopted in resolutions passed by the
Social Reform Club and the Municipal i-anor con-
ference at Its meeting on September s. The Remsen
method is one In which both a first ana second
choice candidate are voted for. and allows the
voter 10 say: II desire to vote for N he can De
elected and II he cannot. let my vote be counted
for b." The second-choice votes are not counted
unless there Is no majority on the frst choice IN
canyass,ng the vote, ballots would be first assorted
into piles, pile for each candidate having
nrst-choice vote Tho number OF ballots In any
given pile would be the number OF votes that par
t!cular candidate received first choice, and would
be so entered the returns Thereafter tho
various piles OF ballots could be reassor,ed In Ike
manner, according TO the second choice. and the
results entered accordingly. The returns could
then, for example. be tabulated thus:

Mr.. Remsen said TO a Tribune reporter yesterday

suggested that in the bust.e and rush OF the cam

Il entitled. Ny method is for only when
there three more candidates for the same

An Extensive Business for Sale.

On account of various matters in
which he is interested demanding SO
much of his attention, Il. II. Cowles
finds that he cannot devote the proper
mount of time to his Grocery Business
at Wadsworth and hereby announces
that he will sell for cash in hand, the
building at Wadsworth in which is
located his General Merchandise store,
the lot on which it stands, a large fire
proof cellar, the stock of goods ON hand,
the good will, etc, etc. The goods are
all fresh, nothing shop worn. The bus
mess is q prosperous IL and the only
reason for selling is to enable Mr.. Cowles
to give all OF his time to other industries
in which he is engaged. Wadsworth is
the best business town in Nevada today
and this opening offers a splendid OPP
poitunity for some good man to locate
in Wadsworth. CAL Oh h. II. C0WLES

Fire.

At | 80 p. yesterday the whistle on
the switch engine shrieked the fire alarm
and caused a crowd of people to rush to
Reservation street where volumes of
smoke were pouring from the residence
of Mrs. G. Kenyon.
Inside of ten minutes three streams of
water were turned on the house from
the Wadsworth fire department hose
manned by our worthy citizens aud in a
very short time the tire WAS out. The
house wal occupied by Mrs. G. Kenyon
and T. A. Wright and wife, a newly
married couple. The damage consists
OF a badly charred roof and the wall
paper and lining throughout the house.
The furniture, carpets and everything
movable was carried from the premises
u%ninjured. The fire wal undoubtedly
caused by the explosion of a coal oil
stove, the flames leaping to the ceiling
and setting it OH fire. The loss is fully
covered by insurance. Mrs. Kenyon's
hands were burned some and Mrs.
| Wright tainted during the excitement.
Ike Lothrop made every hundred yards
in professional s%printing style as he in
clines to the belief that when the fire
whistle blows it means his house. He
got No. 2 out of the house and because
Il. ii. Cowles was excited Ike lost q few
finger nails and several inches of skin
from his wounded hand. No ! went
across the rails on the fly. The fire de-
partment apparatus proves its value
every time and Wadsworth is n OF the
best protected towns on the Pacific
Coast. The citizens who worked so
hard and earnestly are deserving of the
thanks of the community as is Tip
Gladding who always makes a run for
the hose carts with his team.

YE EDITORS.

We arc in receipt OF m invitation tC
the Western Editorial Convention
which, we are assured, will he the great
est gathering OF newspaper men ever
held in the West. II viii be held ii
salt Lake City, Utah, August 2I-18,
under the auspices of the Utah Press
Association, which says: 1--WE shall be
pleased and honored to have the editors
OF the glorious empire OF the West meet
with us on the 9th and 2Sth. We
promise you a grand time, the finest
bathing in the world, and the heartiest
welcome of a generous and patriotic peo-
pie, soon to enter the sovereign Union
OF the United States. The editors of
Utah, standing on the threshold OF State
hood, send greeting and a warm invita-
asking them to lay down their Fabers
for Il few days, to come to Zion for u
brief period of rest, recreation and pro-
fessional benefits. Come. bring your
wives and your sweethearts with you,
and your brethren OF the Utah Press will
do everything possible to make the visit
a never-to-be-forgotten event in the his
tory of Western journalism"
The object is to consider the advisa-
bility of organizing a federation of the
press associations OF the states between
the Missouri River and the Pacific Coast.
Various subjects are TO be discussed,
particularly the law of libel, and 9th. r
questions which directly concern the
newspaper fraternity.
The Salt Lake Tribune says: "Good
newspapers are the greatest blessing s
that any community ever had. Their
influence extends all through mems
lives, and it is possible for a good news
paper to make all the community about
it stronger and better. Modern news
papers came with the steam engine, the
! electric telegraph and the great advance
ments which have been made by the
exploration of science. 1t is an abso-
lutte necessity to the modern man and
woman, and this being true, every effort
to make it higher and nobler ought to
be supported and encouraged. We
hope the Press Association will have a
gathering such as that anticipated, and
that the results Of it will be only for
good"
We favor Boards of Trade, Teachers
Inslit ties, Conferences, Assemblies and
gatherings of every kin] VIII itch lead to
interchange of ideas. That which we
consider good for others should be good
for ourselves. Memory runneth not to
the time when Nevada newspaper men
attended a convention to discuss mat
tiers pertaining TO their business. A
trip to and from Salt Lake City would
permit the Nevada scribes to knock off
the barracles and become better &C.

only two have had an outing. A. c..

and H. A. Lennon three days at Tahoe.
