example, has made it evident in
his speeches that he would be in
favor of referring the question OF
the Sunday sale of drinks to d.
rect vote of the citizens of New
York. In the two States OF Con-
necticut and New Jersey the vo-

questions submitted for their de-

necticut, by very large majority,
declared themselves on Octover 3
as in favor of an amendment to
the constitution of the States
which restricts suffrage to voters
able to read in the English lam
guage any article of the constitu-
ton or any section of the statutes.
The vote against the proposition
was very slight, every community,
whether urban orrural, voting in
the affirmative. In New Jersey q

upon the question of an amend.

and betting. The country districts

Occasionally we heard, from be-
hind shotgun barrier at Baton
Rouge-s shotgun barrier with
deadly attachments, and arranged
especially to protect his Excellen-
cy's sacred person from contagion

of Foster, inviting the governors
of three states to join him in con.
