Fair Elections.

Fair Elections.
From the Baltimore sun.
The multiplicity Of ballots required at
the New York elections has long been a
matter Of complaint Ia the state The
state Legislature enacted 4 law doing
away with this sbuss and adopting tbs
blanket ballot, similar to thai ussd ia
Maryland As originally introduced In
the Legislature the bill provided that the
llllterate voter should Do permitted to
carry with him into the voting booth a
friend to prepare bis ballot for him
The bill WAS very properly amended so
as to omit this feature, as it was rightly
commended that when g man sold his vote
he would use this permission to get a
witness that be had fulfilled his corrupt
contract la California also a ballot law
was enacted at the last session Of the
Legislature. Under that law, aid TO an
illiterate or disabled voter Is permitted.
but in order for him TO avail himself Of
1t he must have declared his illiteracy
or disability upon. oath when he was
registered, and this registration takes
place some months before the election.
This Is an excellent proviso It serves
Ia a measure to identify the voter aud
prevents him from obtaining witnesses
to the delivery OF his vote without en-
countering danger from the penalties Tor
perjury.

HARRISON AND MORTON
This, 1t Is Said, VIII Be the
Ticket ii 1896.
Mr. PIATT HAS APPROVED OF IT.

Not For Arts Sake Alone Is the Ex-Presi-
dent In New York, II seems He Secs
Republican Lenders when lie Is Not Sit
ting For Artist johnson.
NEW YORK, May sa.--The Times says
today.
Harrison and Morton are to lead the Re-
publican hosts IN 1886 If the plans Of Ger
tain politicians DO not miscarry.
These politicians say they have secured
the consent Of MIR Morton to take second
place on the ticket aud assert that Mr..
Platb will give this combination his hearty
support.
Indianians who have had higher OPP
probation of tho social qualities Of ex
President Harrison than that cherished by
OK. United States Treasurer Huston Of In
diana are mover weary Of talking about
Tho consideration shown by the ox-presi-
dent for the artist Eastman johnson in
HnrTisoE's coming to New York TO sit for
his portrait instead Of asking Mr.. John
SON 10 make tho journey TO Indiana to oh
tain his sketches ia the homo Of tho OK
president. or perhaps IN his Office, where
i'd might be taken in his seronest mood,
sheered but not inehriated by the mild
r
by the hope of another term IN the White
House.
Nothing except the conspicuous absence
Of Rhody Shiol from the neighborhood of
tho Fifth Avenue hotel is lacking, how
aver. TO Justify q suspicion that Mr.. East
man johnson is not alone responsible for
tho appearance Of OK President Harrison,
the Harrison boom" and Tom Carter in
this latitude and longitude all in one and
tho same week
Carter Talks Free Silver.
Carter is talking free silver, however,
IN which he does not believe and that
might be regarded AS an indication Of in
compatibility II Carter were not like Joey
Bagstock in being idevilish sly in poll
tics Harrison and Carter will pull to-
gether yet Montana free silver Repub-
Leans may not all be prepared to admit
that but Montana Republicans are for the
party first and for free silver whom 1t IS
quite convenient to be SO.
Ex- President Harrison's journey to New
York Is supposed to indicate his sntisfao-
ton with the situation in Indiana, as we'll
rs his concern about securing support in
the east, and first Of oil in New York.
1t is the Indiana idea that the Repub-
ioan women for tho old ticket in 1899
were right, and that perhaps the chief
reason for Harrisons defeat in the last
campaign was tho illogical conclusion on
the part Of tho convention that it was
/ Harrison alone the country longed for,
and that 1t cared so little for Morton that
it would readily accept Mr.. Whitelaw Reid
after hasty introduction and without q
previous intimate acquaintance with him.
While Harrison's friends in Indiana are
now ready to believe that even with Reid

could not ho beaten, they would prefer K

his enviable record by his fOrcefui

trong perhaps fifteen inches on the
bed would be better. They arc much
more easily cultivated than the com.
mon pindar, from the fact that they
do not spread over the ground like the
common pindars do, but grow up in Il
bunch, like shinny peas, and so can be
very easily plOughcd and hoed. I'd al
ways shell them to plant. They grow
very fast to the bush and in cluster
around the root. When you pull up the
bush you don't leave one in the ground.
Another good thing about them is that
they do not impoverish the land like
the Spanish chufas, but are great I'M
provements To the land when the hogs
are turned in To eat the pindars ON tho
