Good Measures Defeated.

The bill providing for elections by a
plurality instead Of a majority OF votes,
was a measure of merit, and was en-
TILED to more serious consideration
than it received at the hands of the
representatives. 1t was reasonable
measure; its passage would have saved
electors many hardships in certain
cases, and the example of every other
state in the Union shows that the evils
conjured up by the prophets who proph-
esied against the measure have no eX-
istence outside of the imagination of
the DIRECTORS.
Mr.. Palmer's bill for purifying the
suffrage al the fountain head, the eau
Gus and the convention, successfully
weathered the storms of the House to
meet shipwreck in the Senate. Then
it struck on hidden rocks and went to
the bottom. Not a patriotic hand was
stretched forth to save il, and appear
ances seem to suggest that considera-
tons other than those relating to the
real merits of the measure inspired the
evident indifference or hostility of the
senators. The following from the Ben
nugton Banner is one of the many en-
phatic expressions of public opinion
favoring and demanding a law such as
was proposed by Mr.. Palmer:
1t seems to us as though the House took
wise course in passing the bill, and that it
should receive the Endorsement of the Sem
ate and the Governor. Each party should
have the privilege of making its nomina-
lions and transacting such other business as
comes before caucus, Independent of the
wishes or votes Of any other party, and it
seems no more than right that persons Of
another party should be excluded from
caucuses by law. Such a law may at times
exclude persons who having experienced a
change of political sentiment, have recently
become members of the party holding the
caucus. 1t would seem that such persons
should be allowed the privilege of partici-
pating in the deliberations of the caucus (;
but were such provision made loophole
would be given for any one who wishes to
violate the law. With the secret ballot,
there would be no opportunity Of knowing
whether protested convert was sincere or
not. The need of stringent law to pre-
vent the attendance at caucuses Of persons
who have no business there was shown over
and over again during the election of dele
gates to the last convention for the nomina-
ton of state officers. Not only in Benning.
ton, but in many other parts of the state
men participated in the caucuses who never
have supported republican ticket and pro-
badly never will. Such actions merit pun
