The voters in Saco did great deal of
splitting of tickets in the recent election,
and yet, says the Biddeford Record, only
one in forty of the ballots was found de-
fective, and the errors were made not by
voters who could be regarded as ignorant,
but by intelligent ones, who Numbered
sim ly because they assumed to know
it all, = and therefore did not take the
trouble to post themselves as to the proper
way of marking the ballot. If the 1gnor.
ant can handle the ballot it shows that IL
is not the system that disfranchiscs, Dut
the voters. own careless sness or neelect 10
inform themselves. Against these things
voters ought not to be protected, further
than their own intelligence can protect
them. RESS.
Here again the PRESS stumbles in
that what it terms the ignorant vote is
that which is controlled by ward politlc-
| ia MS. who instruct the voters in advance,
and then watch them do their WORK IN
the BIZ oths. OF course they vote correctly
but it does not indicate any simplicity IN
the system. Maine Farmer.
Let US assume that what the Farmer
says is true, though as matter OF fact 1t

handle the ballot all right, what's the

how to do it If they try? Instructions for
voting straight and for splitting tickets
are kept standing in the newspapers for
days before election, and Intelligent men

the reason why they cannot follow them?
Are there any intelligent men in this
ommunity who can't understand the
simple rules for marking the ballot?
The truth Is that there ism t an intelligent
man in the State of Maine who would fail
to mark his ballot right II he would care
fully read the instructions before going
into the booth and then carefully observe
them. Nine tenths of the errors result
either from inattention or carelessness.
When it is admitted that the ignorant
can handle the Australian ballot COR

Are the farmers of this state whom the
Farmer processes to represent ready to
take the ground that what the ignorant
voters of the cities are able to do correctly
they cannot dor We think not.

The opponents of Senator Quay claim
that enough members of the legislature

to insure his defeat. Quoy's friends ION
the other hand assert that he will Fave

1t was a night of masquerades on
this side last evening. In every dance
over here hundreds of happy maidens
and young men were gathered, and
danced until early morning. At the
central Park hall the Polish societies
held their annual dance, the Ringgold
band the boys friends occupied Nat
ter's hall, the Workingmen's society
held forth in their own cosy hall on
Alder street, and the prominent and
prosperous Scranton Athletic club was
the attraction at Germania hall. Each
affair was largely attended, especially
the dances of the Ringgold and Athletic
boys.
In point of excellence and eclat. the
Athletic club and their friends won by
a long lead. The Germania hall was
a spot of grandeur and bewilderment
as to decorations. The hall was recent
ly remodeled and re-painted, and the
affair of last evening was the opening
event. The attendance was extremely
large, and the costumes exquisite and
grotesque.
At $50 o'clock the march began and
was led by John Scheuer of the COM
mittee of arrangements, who was the
only participant in the promenade not
masked. Mr.. Scheuer, who is very
clever as a conductor of social affairs,
won much favorable comment as he
directed the dancers through very diff
ficult figures in the march. The fea-
ture of it was the leading of the large
group about the hall, so that from the
gallery the spectators could plainly see
the letters $. A. c. formed by the
dancers.
The masks We're removed at II
O'Clock and general dancing COM
menced. Each lady was presented a
souvenir. very unique in design and
pretty. The highly appreciated token
was a neat cushion of raised satin, and
to the front was the photos of the COM
mittee of arrangements. Keystone or
chestra furnished the music and Nc
Gable furnished the lunch. Emil Bonn
was master of ceremonies and James
f. Best, chairman of the committee of
arrangements. The other members of
the committee We're: Frank Dam
bacher Louis Deising, Adolph Heusner,
Jacob Ballus, George Schantz, jr., Jo-
seph Fueller and John F. Scheuer. The
officers of the club are: Emil Bonn,
president; Charles Kellerman, vice.
president; George Wirth, jr.. recording
secretary; Peter Neuls, financial sec
retary; Robert Robinson. treasurer;
Christ Rose, captain; Fred. c. Neuls
librarian; Peter =. Neus, Charles
Heller and Henry Meyers, trustees.
At the Ringgold dance Henry Schof
was master of ceremonies, and he was
ably assisted by the following COM
mittee: Joseph p. Kramer, John B.
Chase, Gus Mehren, Edward Reinman,
Edward Phillips and Louis Scheuer.
The band orchestra furnished the
music.
