George Burlingame for the heavyweight

championship of the south at Baltimore
This will be Burly's first big match since
he was defeated by Ernest Roeber for the
championship of the world four years ago
in Baltimore. He has since then won all
the matches he has had, though never in
the best condition. For this match he
claims to have worked hard under direc-
ton of Santen, and that he is in better
form than for years.
Shad Link is regarded as a conner, and he
has the advice of his manager, Charles j.
Weiss whose ability to pick and shape up
mat artists is beyond question.
Jake Kilrain will be referee. He, though
a pugilist, knows wrestling thoroughly,
and in his early days was fighter by Lon
don prize-ring rules, which permit wres-
Ting.

CAUCUS BILL PASSED.

The House Thursday passed the Senate
caucus bill providing for registration of
voters for the purpose OF voting in politi-
cal primaries, and the result is one which
will he hailed with sratiication by all
lovers OF good, clean government. We be-
been outlined in these columns, is an
excellent measure, but even IN, ash it
may not be found TO be free from de-
fects, upon trial, it is worth something
FOR Vermont to mako a beginning in
the direction @ caucus reform.
1t is worth while in this connection to
tics Of the vote by which the new politi-
cal primary act passed the popular
branch of the Legislature. The vote in
favor Of the measure was 1874, while that
in opposition WAS 60 Moreover it canno:
fail TO be pleasing hereafter to remem-
her this thing, that the republicans are
their Democrat friends for assistance in
placing this measure on the statutes
The record shows that % democrats voted
on the bill in the House and every dom
1cratic vote was recorded against the
reform.
We desire in this connection to ref,it
the charge made. during the discussion
If the bill to tn. effect that if democratic
lahorers employed by republicans in Buy
linaton were to give open expression to
their political preferences, they would bs
discharged. II Is a we'll known fact that
republican manufacturers and business
men in this city pride themselves on the
freedom enjoyed by their employees in
connection with the choice OF political
parties. BE this as it may, however, the
passage Of the caucus hin will be hailed
with delight in this city, for it mears
mat hereafter it will be more difficult
than formerly for the members Of one
party 10 force an Objectionable candidate
on 4 rival party.
