which will aid materially in advancing
the interests of wOrkingmen snd add

The plank in the Democratic plat
form which NJ. Hill refers to Is as fol-

Old man Stewart, of Nevada, in his
flop to Mckinley has possibly done the
country some service by proclaiming
boldly the true principle oS the crowd
with which he proposes to dock in this

with the aequiesence of Congress, may
exercise al the power of an absolute
monarch" This is an honest assertion

VOTING MACHINES IN Use.

During the last few years voting ma
chimes have been adopted for practical
use in Syracuse, Hornellsville and James
town, y. Y. and they have been given
successful trials in several other cities.
In the election of November, 1899, voting
machines were used in the city of De
troit. anl the returns were collected and
completed within twentyone minutes af-
ter the closing of the polls. The claim
of the advocates of the machine is that
it not only greatly facilitates the collec-
ton of the returns, but that ut the same
time it prevents frauds and does away
with the great expense of preparing pa
per ballots
Tn the case of the typical voting ma
chine the voter sets the machine ready
for use by closing behind him the door of
the voting booth as he enters it. Before
him are rows of horizontal knobs, as
maay rows as there are parties making
nominations. At the left of each row is
the name and emblem of the party, the
