report of the special Grand Jury called
in Chicago to investigate charges of
corruption in the assessment depart

discovered among other features of
the criminal is-gOvernment that
property has been so grossly under
valued that in many instances it is

more than doubled. OF course much of

To the Republicans of Maine:-Prior to 1892
two Presidential electors at large, correspond
nominated in State convention. and the re-
manning electors, corresponding to the mem
bers OF the United States House of Represen-
tatives were nominated by the several con-
gressiOnal district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot law en-
tirely changed the procedure. Under the law,
all Conventions are portion OF our election
system, and this ballot act requires that can
didates to be voted for by the Voters through
out the whole state must be placed in nomina-
ton by Convention representing no less a
constituency than the whole state. Hence, all
the candidates Of q party for Presidential cleo
tors must be nominated in State Convention,

electors.
