In regard to the guns in his Office

he wrote the letter to President Ste

in substance:
'The present demoralized condition

Former Governor Brown, who wa
conducting the direct examination
asked Powers what he meant by thi
expression. The prosecution objectet
to any explanation of the letter, o.
the ground that there was no ambig

should go to the jury to be construe,
by it. The court sustained this con
tention.
Powers admitted part of a conver

of Knox county, but said Hampton ha
misconstrued the main point. Wha
he said was that If Goebel should be

to the office of secretary of state ths
somebody might assassinate him, bu
did not mean to insinuate that Goebe
would have that done. He also admit

Philadelphia, July 31-Ballot reform

Is reason to believe, however. that this
may be eliminated from the partisan
contest if the leaders of the different
elements continue to express senti.
ments in accord with those uttered
within the last few days. Col. Quay, in
a recent public declaration, went on
record in favor of the most sweeping
reforms in the matter of a secret ballot
and an absolutely fair return of the
votes cast and he also advocated per
sonal registration of voters He gave
1t as his opinion tnat these reforms
could only be had within a reasonable
time by the calling of a non-partisap
convention, which would amend the
present constitution so as to permit the
requisite legislation to be passed before
the adjournment of the next Iegisla-
ture. IL would be necessary for the
legislature which convenes in January
next to pass an act providing for the
immediate calling of a constitutional
convention. Such a convention being
held without delay would permit of the
introduction Of such bills in the gen
