II is interesting 10 note the first

the referred laws and the n con-

out OF the treasury Of Aberdeen every
and enables the state to derive
the whole benefit from the taxation
OF railroad and express property. yet
many A~bcrdonians voted for the law,
under tho impression, judging from
the title of the proposition on the bal
lot, that they were doing things" to
the railroads, though no instance has
been recorded where the railroads
were fighting the measure-but the
contrary.
The voters, too, Judging from the
title of the Richards primary law
that is provided for a reform OF ex-
listing political methods approved the
bill by a very large majority. and
thereby legnlized machine methods of
party government, and provided that
party state conventions shall be held

political innovations. In fact, the
