good demand for those articles.
w. S. Reichenbach of Toehill is
on the sick list.
Ed. Wilmer is well pleased that
he got more potatoes than he plant
ed, while on Dundore's farm last
year they got less.
Rabbits can this season be count
ed by the thousand if every shot
that falls counts one.
The innocent quail must take it
again this season, who are so nobly
protected by law for the benefit of
the expert town gunners.

AS TO BALLOT REFORM.

The Republican state committee at
Its recent session appointed sub-com-
mlttees to formulate new ballot and
primary election laws. Their report
was anticipated at an early date. but
the chairman Of one Of the committees
has been in the field with the National
Guard. and the other committee. after
giving full hearings to all Interested
is awaiting the report of two distin-
guished attorneys, Hon. Alexander
Simpson and Hon. Richard C. Dale.
who are engaged in the preparation OF
a ballot reform bill.
When these committees are ready To
report the Republican organization
VIII take position. Speaking for N.Y.
SELF, the Van Dyke primary law. wnlch
passed the house of representatives at
the last session of the legislature. was
as fair and effective an instrument pc
could be framed.
My own preference would be for n
return to the old law, which permitted
every voter to write or print his own
ballot; with proviso that each voter
shall enter private booth alone and in
which he shall seal his ballot in an Of
hcial envelope, wn.ch he shall hand to
the election officers, This would pre-.
vent espionage upon the voter. secure
an absolutely free vote and rid us Of
the present litigious and cumbrous bal
lot and mushroom parties. | regret to
say that my views do not seem to i'm.
