\ Hon. Ed. >. Waterbury, candidate
for Justice of the Supreme Corut, ad.
dressed the Fusion convention last
Saturday afternoon. Mr.. Waterbury
thoroughly discussed the election
law, and gave some very interesting
information in regard to the new
ballot law, commonly known as the
anti-fusion law. This law was pass
ed by the last legislature for the pur-
pose of preventing the Democratic
and Peoples party from fusing onthe
same candidates and preventing the
name ofany candidate from appearing
on the ballot more than once. This
compels the two parties to agree on
one ticket, as the same names for the
same Offices cannot appear but once
on the ballot. Mr.. Waterbury went
into detail and explained the techne-
calities connected with the law, which
he rightly termed vicious and ma
licious legislation. He had the clos
est attention of his AUDIENCE who
were very much interested in the dis
cussion. They received some very
valuable information and in all prob
ability will be very valuable to them
when they come to cast their votes
at the November election. Mr.
Waterbury is member of the COM
mittee which will present test case
to the Supreme Court on the 9th of
October to test the constitutionality
of this law. The case also asks that
the Secretary of State be compelled
to certify the names of the candidates
under both Peoples Party and Dem
ocratic heads. The result of the case
will be watched with interest by both
Democrats and Populists all over
the State.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. 1902.

Leaf dealers can find but little fault
with the first half month of the year.
During the past week there have been
unmistakable signs of coming activity,
and January will undoubtedly prove to
be better month than was generally ex-
pected. In the domestic tobacco market
considerable looking around is going on,
and there is really quite demand for
good tobacco at reasonable prices. The
inquiry for 1900 Pennsylvania Broad leaf
resulted in considerable of that grade
changing hands, some S00cs being sold
at from IL to IL cents. This movement,
in fact, was the feature of the week, the
other sales reported being in small lots
only.
Sumatra. While there is no active
movement in progress just now, few
lots here and there are changing hands,
and importers have reason to believe
that manufacturers stocks are low.
Many of the Seed and Havana factories
that were closed for inventory immedi-
ately after the holidays are now open for
business and the situation is more en-
couraging than for month past Su
matra statesmen are starting out to visit
the trade this week, and importers ex-
pect to do considerable business before
