B. Howard Haman. Esq. OF Haman
Bill fame in a speech at Sandy
Springs, Montgomery county, No
vember 18th, instant, took occasion
10 pitch into Senator elect Seth, OF
Talbot county. Senator Seth is
abundantly able to take care OF him
self and in his own good time will
doubtlessly reply TO Mr.. Haman.
II seems to us, however. that instead
of making converts for his bill. the
more Mr.. Haman talks the more con
clusively does be demonstrate that
he is fast winning the reputation oil
a common scold."

The figures OF the recent election
show that the Democracy was beaten
by a combination OF fusionists and
republicans, who polled the most
votes. What the outcome OF the
coalition will be we do not know;
we cannot say. On this point, we
are in the situation OF the neighbors
in the late Senator Vance's cat fish
story: ''Old uncle Bill lived near
c.aliy fond ; q sa EIi lIs and was spei
the river near Uncle Bills house q
slsAn- sA>~..---a-----n-L- u4unt.
One day, Uncle Bill went fishing
and getting sleepy tied the line
around his big toe. During the nap
the catfish took the bait, and Incl
dcntally Uncle Bill along with it.
Sometime afterwards Uncle Bills
body and the catfish floated ashore
and a coroner 'sjury was summoned. {"
And, says Senator Vance the neigh
boris never could find out with the
aid of all their figgering whether the
niger went a-catfshing or the cat
fish went a-niggering."

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 9. Mr.
Charles c. Binney. one of the lead.
ing republicans of Philadelphia, con-
tributes TO the Ledger this morning
the following letter, in which he
holds that the Wilson ballot law OF
Maryland is the ideal toward which
reformers in Pennsylvania and else
where are striving:
To the Editor Of the Public Ledger ::
Your Baltimore correspondent, in
the report on the Maryland election
in today S issue, refers to the ballot
law of that State as the Wilson bal
lot law, enacted by the German Leg
islature to aid the democratic ILL
terates and confuse republican ILL
terates. In the interest of genuine
ballot reform. should like to state
that, whatever may have been the
influences which secured the pas.
sage of this law, the form of ballot
which it prescribes is the only abso-
lutely fair and equal form of ballot
which has yet been devised, and Is
precisely that form for which ballot
fezssrmess IN yhis State have been
unsuccessfully striving for the last
sixteen years. viz: the form which
requires each voter to mark the
name of each candidate for whom he
votes. 1t is the same form which
has for years been used in Massa-
chusetts and several other of our
most progressive States with per-
feet success, and IL discriminates
against no class ofilliterates, though
it does not pretend to favor illitera-
ties at the expense of the purity of
the ballot.
Whatever peculiarities of printing
there may have been in the way of
heavy black lines under certain
names, referred to by your cores
pendent, as TO which I know nothing.
such vsgaries, unless forbidden by
law, are possible under any form OF
ballot. and similar tricks have not
been unknown in this state.
I was present during the count of |
the votes in my own division last
night and observed q number of in
stances in which the voters bad fall |
len into the trap provided by our |
double system of marking q. g., !
