John John Boyd Thacher has declined the Democratic nomination for Gov ernor of New YorK, on the grouiul that he cannot endorse the Chicago platform. He first wrote a letter saying he would support Rryan, but could not endorse the platform, and this made such a howl from Tammany that he had to step down. The proposed fusion between the silver Democrats and the Populists in this state is not yet plain sailing. The late State Democratic Convention nominated for Congress-at-larue De Witt C. DeWitt of Towanda. Demo crat, and Jerome T. Ailman of Juniata county, People s party, with the under standing that J. P. Correll of Easton, Ailman's colleague, should withdraw. Correll declines now to get oil" the ticket, and if he persists in his refusal Chairman Garman will call the state committee together and declare a va cancy on the Democratic ticket for Congress-at-large. Mr. Garman will do this because he considers the continu ant of Correll as a People's party endidate 1 liTich in the agreement 1 ktv. -!! that parly and the a two Democratic Convention. THE PARDON OF BABDSLEY. The pardon of John Bardsley. the iT.cnaeipnia embezzler, by Governor Hastings, is an act that is regretted and condemned bv all crood citizens I to be Kvretted that tin? Pa.-.i.in Bojrd should lend themselves to a i- - . . r . scneme 10 set iree a man who stole a million dollars of public money, and that the Governor should be induced to sign the pardon, for it creates a teeung among me people that no man witn a political pull can be punished, no matter how creat his crime, while the poor fellow who steals a pair of doois serves out ins lull term. The chief reason that seems to have led. Governor Hastings to sign the pardou was the alleged physical con dition ot Bardsley. He was said to have had a paralytic stroke only a few days before, and immediate action was urgtd so that John could get out in time to die at home in his own com fortable bed. But, lo and behold, when the prison doors are thrown open, he wa'ks out without assistance, is njet by his wife in a carriage, and they go to the cars and start off on a pleasure trip, spending a few- hours in Williamsport, and going thence to some point near Jersey Shore, where they will spend several weeks. No signs of paralysis or any other disease. In fact. Bardsley is said to be in as good a state of health as men usually are at his age. The Governor should hang his head in shame. If he be lieved what was told him, he ought to be ashamed - that he was so easily duped. If he did not believe it, then he is all the more to be censured. The pardon of John Bardsley under the circumstances will send the ad ministration of Daniel H. Hastings dawn into history in ignominy. NEVT FORM OF BALLOT- The form of ballot for the coming election will differ materially from any used since the enactment of the Baker ballot law in 1S91. Colonel John A. Glenn, corporation deputy auditor general, has prepared for the state Republican committee a form to conform to the amendments made to the act by the legislature of 1S93. which has been accepted by Secretary Reecer as the official form of the state department. The groups used in the ballet at the last presidential election are done away with in the new form and a circle substituted at the head of each column in which the pl.ieirg cf a cross mark will vote the entire ticket or be equivalent to a cross maik opposite each individual name in that column. The new ballot contains nine columns .:':: the Republican party tirsi. Then follows Democratic, Pro hibition. National, People's, Socialist i.apor, tree :!ver, Jertersonun and blank coin :n in the order named. Th surnames of the vresidenti.i! r - diilates of each party are phced in th coiomn just below the circle abov tha electors. To the right ot th naiies of the candidates s a larg sqJare in which the voter by nurkiri . s rfror-i v i'e f?r the entire shirtv-tw T candidates for elector in that column. A voter desiring to vote for any other candidate below the electors in any other column will be required to put a cross mark opposite each name. 1 Ins is the most convenient ballot that has yet been adopted in this state and will be more easily under stood than any form used in the past. Colonel Glenn has also prepared for the state committee a book of instruc tions to voters and duties of election officers under the general election law which will be sent broadcast over the state the next month by Chairman Elkin. It will contain copies of the new form of official ballot with instruc tions how to vote straight and split tickets. The documents will also con tain all the decisions on the ballot law to date. BRYAN WILL WIN. Party Managers Confident He Will Carry Two- Thirds of the Electoral Vote. For the first time since the opening of the campaign a feeling of security has settle dupon the Brvan managers attht- national Democratic headquarters. There, not only in public but in pri vate, the assurance is given that Bryan will carry at least two thirds of the electoral vote of the United States. During last week, fusion between the Democrats and Populists has been consumated in North Carolina, Ken tucky, Illinois and Wyoming. This union of the silver stiength m these states, it is claimed, assures them all for Bryan by overwhelming majorities. Even the Republicans concede that they no longer have any chance in North Carolina and Kentucky. In Kentucky fusion was reached under an agreement whereby the Pop ulists withdrew their electoral ticket and arc given two places on the Dem ocratic electoral ticket. In North Carolina the Democratic, Populist and Silver parties have united on the Bry an electoral ticket, the Democrats naming five electors, the Populists five and the Silver party one. In I'Hnr.is four Democratic electors h .ve withdrawn and their places are rilled Ly four Populists. This com pletes fusion in Illinois, gives 60.000 Populist votes in that state to Bryan, and the Democratic managers declare assures a majority of at least 40,000 for the Democratic. The Democrats and Populists of Wyoming have also arranged fusion on the basis of two Democratic and one Populist elector. The Best Family Cathartic. i-or a general home medicine Hood's Tills are unequalled. They were prepared for family use and they have been found entirely satisfactory, wherever they have been used. Their sale has gradually extended until to day the demand for them leads the trade to look upon Hood's Pills as the coming pill." They relieve and cure so many troubles that they are really a whole medicine chest. They are mild and vet efficient. The United States court at Pitts burg has granted 1500 naturalization papers this term. The Democratic County ticket is growing ui favor every day. It is composed of good men who will make good officials. Wail paper designers are turning their attention to shirt fronts. A CARD.
