THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS.

The members of the Senatorial COM
mittee who were appointed by the
Democratic members OF the Senate to
formulate the proposed election law
met on Tuesday in Baltimore, Senators
BRYAN, Bouic, Moses and Rohrback
being present. 1t was agreed that the
bill should be drawn to follow as close
ly as possible the Massachusetts, law
and that there should be no change in
the election machinery as it now stands.
The amendments agreed upon were
as follows:
First That hereafter no party en-
blem shall be printed on the ballot.
Second. That hereafter the names
of candidates shall not he printed in
parallel columns, as heretofore, each
separate Column containing the names
of tue candidates of a political party,
but that thereafter the names of candi-
dates shall be printed in alphabetical
order, with the designations to which
party they belong on the ballot under
appropriate designations of the offices
for which they are candidates.
Third. That hereafter voters must
mark their ballots themselves and shall
not be entitled to call on either of the
election officers, as provided in our
existing law, to mark their ballots
for them. The aid, however, Of the
election officials will be extended to
those who are physically unable to
mark their own tickets, such as per-
sons who are blind or have no hands.
The suggestion of Mayor Hayes, TO
discard the alphabetical arrangement
of the candidates names did not meet
the approval of the committee.

HILLS PLAN
FOR DEMOCRACY.

The General Assembly of Alabama
has received a communication from
Hon. David B. Hill, of New York, of:
fering his thanks for the joint resolu-
ton requesting him TO address the leg
islature and expressing his great re-
greet at being unable to do so. Refer
ring to politics, he says:
at becomes our party, as patriots
and Democrats, to strengthen our par
ty organization, to unite all elements
of opposition to radicalism, to organ
ize for future contests upon right lines,
so as to make national victory again
possible, to avoid determinations and
TO subordinate all selfish and personal
considerations in the exhibition of
widespread national and party pa.
triotism.
ave should stand as solid phalanx
in favor of strict construction of the
Federal Constitutions; for the preserva-
ton of the reserved rights of the States;
for the maintenance of the constitution
al currency Of our fathers; for a sys-
TEN of public taxation imposed for
public purposes only; for economy in
all public expenditures and for the
supremacy of the Constitution, with
all its guarantees, over every portion
of our national jurisdiction; and We
should resist by every honorable means
in our power the Republican efforts to
fasten upon our country the evils Of
militarism, the wrongs involved in the
diversion of public moneys in the shape
of Congressional subsidies, the ten
denotes toward Capitalization of power
and the substitution of imperialistic
ideas for the PLAIN and simple theories
of democratic government. Upon all
these issues the Democratic party is
right, and sooner or later the right
will surely prevail"
