Tue New York legislature defeated the
me4sule-to amend the marriage laws of
the state so as TO make marriage
license compulsory, and to make adultery
pCnithable as nisdeIneanor. The
change was advocated largely By repre-
ssntatiVes of the Epiiclpal church. The
New YORK sun approves the defeat OF
the bill on the ground that the system Of
licenses would add no safeguard to mar
rage and that a law making adultsry
IL isdemeanor would become dead letter
and accomplish nothing except to bIi lg

Presidential Electors Must All BE
Chosen i'm State Convention.
HEADQUARTERS
REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. 4, lVOO.
70 the Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors at large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vsntion, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nominal
ton by a convention representing no less
a constituency than the whole State.
Hence. all the candidates of party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention. and l have there
fore includedin the call six electors.

A LIVELY
Team of Frightened Horses Gre
ateS Excitement.

There was a runaway last evening
which created considerable amount of
excitement. A livery team attached to
a buggy, came dashing into Main street
from Front street about 8 o'clock last
night. At the corner of Main and Front
streets the team became detached from
the buggy after having knocked down a
telegraph pole. The animals ran south
on Main street to the corner of Com
merical avenue where they collided with
another telegraph pole and were thrown
off their feet. AS soon as they we're able
to rise they dashed On again and collided
with a hitch rack. The driver was
thrown out and knocked unconscious,
but was revived in half a minute by a
drink at the Medicine Lodge saloon.
