Democratic State organizations that nave

there is any show TO get II done. 1t is or
no consequence TO them that the free

Of course. suffer by the general wreck
that would b. produced. but they think
they would soon rccoup the losses OF the

HOW THE WALTON LAW STANDS.

From the report of the meeting OF the
State cen mittee on Thursday evening,
1t is very clear that there is dissatisfac-
lion with the Walton law among Demo-
Gratis There are features OF the
law with which there is no dis
satisfaction. The people like the
booth that enables them 10 prepare their
ballots without the annoyance and IN
reference Of the usual hangers-on
around an election precinct. IT was at
first thought. also. that the secrecy oil
the ballot and the difficulty Of finding
out how the voter actually cast his bal
lot would be a strong deterrent to brlD-
cry OF the voter. We arc informed that
the law did operate very strongly 10 III
minsh bribery in the Congressional cleo
ton a year ago. but We are also informed
that i'm the elections last spring the can
didatos seemed 10 have caught on TO
some way Of finding out row the indi-
vidual voted. and that in some counties
bribery of voters was as general as II
had ever been. But We take the aGmis-
sions Of discomfort with the law that
were made at the meeting OF the Com
m.ttee as most significant. 1t must be
remembered that the Walon law Is pa
~ measure The members Of the state
Committee are party men. AMI they nat
urally say the most that they can for
qarty measure. Admissions of discon-
tent from them. Therefore. are onttlcd TO
very great consideration The discomfort
must be widespread and deep. indeed,
for these gentlemen to admit that there
IS any at all
We were immensely impressed. however,
with the statement Of Mr.. ". r. Mcken-
ney. Democratic Comgrossman-elect from
the Fourth District lie said: "IThere is
no complaint made I'm the district as 10
the working Of the Walton law" Mr. Nc
Kenney meant Of course, that there was
no complaint made by those who run
the Democratic party's politics in the
district. This does not surprise as al
all. The Fourth District comprises about
one-third Of the counties in the state
for whose bcrcnt the Walton law was
enacted. 1t would be most surprising II
The party there expressed discomfort
with a measure enacted for its express
benefit and one which secures the very
result expected from IL with such GER
1ainty and effect. Nevertheless we hap
pen 10 know that there is discomfort ana
very great discomfort among Democrats
in the Fourth District with The Walton
law.
our advices from every part of the
State are that there is n very strong anu
d growing sentiment against those parts
Of the Walton law that are used to
cheat and deceive. We are perfectly sat
isfied that II that marplot William Ma
hone had kept out of the affair we would
have ROT an amendment OF the law AT
the coming scs siOn of the Legislature
that would have secured us lair elec-
tiCns We DO not despair of such amend
u ent in spite of his foolish and unwei-
xcue interference. We have great hopes
that the sentiment is so strong tnat the
LEGISLATURE will lind it irresistible. But
common prudence dictates that the CON-
ing Legislature should act. The SENT
ment for fair elections is becoming strong
er every day and the Democratic party
will do wisely TO yield to the demand and
amend our laws.

lie Thinks Mischieyous Mothers-in-Law
and Rum Cause Matrimonial squabbles.

NEW YORK, Sept. G.-Judee Pryor
took occasion in the Court OF Common
Pleas yesterday TO give expression to the
opinion that next 10 rum, mischievous
mothers-in-law are the chief source OF
matrimonial broils that come before the
courts"
This statement was made in the hear
ing OF an application for aiimony, and
counsel fees, made by council for Mrs.
Clara WEIGH. in an action brought by
her against her husband, John WEIGH,
for Il separation. Before making the
statement. the Judge had endeavored In
vain 10 effect reconciliation.
The plaintiff. WHO is only twenty-five
years old. was married in May last to
the defendant. who owned a grocery
store at 4SS east Fourteenth street. In
addition TO $1,000 left to him by his father.
She alleges that shortly after the mar
riage her husband began 10 ill-treat
her. On one occasion. she alleges, the
defendant bruised her head so badly that
she had TO call a surgeon. Her hus-
band declined to pay the surgeons bill,
and on august 18th he turned her out
of the house.
Counsel for the defendant said that
1t was simply a case of TOO much mother
in-law. He said that the plaintlt' 5
mother considered her daughter too good
to wait on customers in her husbands
store. The mother-in-law. counsel said,
tried three days after the wedding 10
induce her daughter 10 compel the de-
PENDANT 10 deposit his 5000 in his wife's
name IL was the plaintiffs mother
that caused all the trouble. ana induced
her 10 sue her husband.
Judge Pryor said he would like 10 see
II a reconciliation could not be effected.
He called the husband and wife up to
him, and asked Mrs. WEIGH II there
