Philadelphia, Feb. 26. The voters of
this city having once more administer
ed a crushing rebuke to the Insurgents
nnd others who have heen maligning
the leaders of the Republican organiza
tion and the Ashbridge administration
it would seem that these party wreck
ers would change their tactics.
At the election last Tuesday the
choice of lh Republicans for receiver
of taxes. Cart. Davidson, polled 12S.695
votes, and received a plurality of
SS.I93 votes. These figures are nearly
40,000 In excess of what had been ex
pected by the Republican leaders. In
view of the persistent attacks made by
the insurgents and the yellow journals
of this city. The people have evident
ly reached the conclusion that they can
find little truth in these subsidized or
gans, when they touch upon politics or
matters affecting the local administra
tion.
THE PEOPLE WERE AROUSED.
The taxpayers resented the ma
licious assaults upon the city, which
were begun as part of the recent cam
paign, when a few followers of Wana
makerisra succeeded In getting Bishop
Potter to believe some terrible talcs
about wickedness In this city and got
him over here to speak at a mass meet
ing, where the initial attack was made
upon Philadelphia and her Republican
officials.
Then followed protests from business
men, manufacturers, property owners
and others with large interests In this
city against the malicious, unwarrant
ed and sinister attacks upon the fair
name of the Quaker City. The Repub
lican organization met the insurgents
on their own issue and boldly appealed
to the people to stand by their city and
the Republican party.
The people rallied around the Repub
lican standard bearers, and the plu
rality of 9S.1U3 for the head of the
Republican ticket was the result.
Yellow journalism and the other
newspaper allies of the Insurgent ma
chine In this state cannot command
popular support.
JOURNALISM DISGRACED.
A timely deliverance on this dis
graceful feature of insurgent Journal
ism has just come from the pn of Col.
Theodore Hart, the stalwart Republi
can editor of the stalwart l'ittstou Ga
zette. Col. Hart writes:
"Those who declare and lament the
low c?ta!e of Pennsylvania journalism
base their condemnation unconsciously
upon a mongrel type of comparatively
recent development the spiteful, vin
dictive and Pharisaical publication
which, during SO per cent of its exist
ence, tries to establish that every
thing In its party is all wrong; that
the political lenders are knaves and
scoundrels: that outside of a few mug
wumps or insurgents of high sounding
professions Tin tie has departed from
the affairs of state, and that the pub
lie man who does not subscribe to
this bilious plntform Is a fair target
for misrepresentation nnd abuse.
"It Is true that when a local cam
paign fcrces this specimen of buzzard
Journalism to protect its official pick
ings, it momentarily checks Its out
flow of bile and proceeds to sound the
tignals for party regularity. But It !s
also true that for this exhibition of In
consistency, insincerity and greed the
best jH-ople In every party despise it
all the more.
"We have an illustration of this kind
of Journalism in Luzerne county. It
Isn't necessary to mention its name.
Everybody will recognize it from our
description of Its kind. It preaches
loudly of purity nnd reform. It Is vo
ciferous in disparagement and sirn.
Its Irrepressible consciousness of its su
perior holiness exudes through every
column. It has constituted itself the
guardian of the imitical morals of
county, state nnd nation. It Is Sir Ora
cle with a license to regulate the uni
Terse. POLITICAL HVrOCRISY AND PAR
TY TREACHERY.
"And yet Its hands are tarred with
every form of political insincerity, hy
pocrisy and party treashery; Its col
umns in campaign times have been at
the disposal of anybody who paid the
price, and its stand and deliver tac
tics are a theme of gossip and jest from
Hazleton to Duryea. Every party
worker in the county despises Its Peek
snlffian characteristics, although some
may conceal their disgust by reason of
Its threats to use the sandbag should
nny open opponent aspire for political
place.
"This is the kind of journalism which
has fallen into disrepute and which
draws from public men the accusation
that all journalism is degenerate. Such
a generality is too sweeping. It will
not sustain investigation.
"In many cities and towns through
out the commonwealth are Journals
which view their moral obligations to
the community, to their party and to
th government with becoming respect.
They are not destrurtlonlsts. but con
structionists; they are critics when
abuses have to be remedied, but not
common scolds. They believe that hon
rst men and good intentions are not
the monopoly of any party, set or fac
tion: but they believe in confin'nsr fac
tional strife within party lines and are
not in favor of spiteful destruction
when fairly outvoted by the majority.
This stalwart type of journalism is
offered as a wholesome offset to the
green vomit of hypocrisy which styles
Itself independent Journalism; and It
appeals to and deserves the support of
stalwarts everywhere."

BALLOT REFORM
WORK BEGUN
Senator Focht, of Union Coufidcnt
That His Proposed Changes
Will Be Made.
BLANKET BALLOTS ARE TO GO.
Mj Krnturranf the Anstrallna '
tern lntro.lnee.1 an.l the fouve
nlenee of itraulnr Tnrtr Men 1
lroerl- t;lven l)ne Consideration.
(Special Corresrondnce.l
Hanisburg. Feb. 26. The first step
taken by the leaders of the Republican
organization to carry into effect their
pledges for ballot reform was taken
last week when Senator Benjamin K.
Focht. of Union county, chairman of
the committee on elections, presented
a bill In the senate which provides foi
material changes In the present system
of balloting.
This bill meets a number of objec
tions that have been raised to the
present system and. although It will
probably be changed in several par
ticulars before It becomes a law, it
represents the general plans of the
party leaders on this subject.
The hill will do away with the pres
ent unwieldy ballot, and while the de
mands of the ultra-ballot reform ncl
tators for the "pure Australian" sys
tem are not fully granted, the ballot Is
made of such a character as shall meet
the demands of the Republicans who
comprise a large percentage of the vot
ing population of this commonwealth.
CONVENIENCE OF TARTY MEN.
One of the demands from these pro
fessional reformers has been that there
shall be no device or arrangement by
which members of any political party
can by simply making one mark vote
for all the candidates of that party.
This proposition has been given care
ful consideration by the Republican
leaders, and they have reached the con
clusion that Republicans, Democrats,
Prohibitionists or members of any
other well established party should
not be put to the inconvenie-.ee or an
noyance of putting a mark after the
name of each candiate for whom they
wish to vote when they desire to cast
a ballot for every candidate of their
respective party.
There will be the usual howl from
these radical "reformers." none of
whom are In sympathy with the regu
lar Republican organization, against
the plan provided under Senator
Focht's bill. But a great majority of
Republicans. Democrats and Prohibi
tionists unquestionably demand sere
provision that will faclllt.-te their vot
ing for their pirty eindl.l ites without
having to pick out their favorite s from
a long list of nr.mes nnd possibly.
throneh error, vote for candidates
whom they do not favor.
Senator Focht's bill, which is to be
substituted for the present Biker bal
lot law, also comprehends vital nnd
necessary changes in the present pri
mary election law.
The hill practically embodies nil the
features of the Australian svstem, the
candidates of all parties being griuped
under headings designating the office
for which they are running. The
circles at the top are reserved to ae
commrdats the SO or P0 per cent of
Republicans and Democrats who wish
to vote a straight party ticket, while
the distinctive Australian feature of
grout ing candidates affords those de
siring to vote a split ticket every op
portunity of dolri'i so. The names of
candidates are allowed on the ballot
but once. Those by party certificates
will have printed after the name the
party de ;;i:n itlnns. while all nomina
tions by nomination pnptrs will be de
signated as independent nominations.
BLANKET BALLOiS ABOLISHED.
This gTi'.tly reduces the size- of the
ballot, and the blanket sheet will ho
something of the past. Senator Focht
says he hs examined carefully all the
ballot laws of all the states, as well as
the sample ballots used, and it Is bis
opinion that In this bill he has pre
sented the best system of voting In the
country, as well as the most convenient
and best constructed ballot, mechan
ically, now used In the United States.
Senator Focht says nothing can be
done with the registration law until
there shall be an amendment to the
constitution, as the qualification of
electors to register is now defined by
that Instrument. This bill also pro
vides for and simplifies the nomina
tion of a'i candidates.
The bill retains many provisions of
the present law, for Instance:
Kiiat "ifar'c In the circle is a vote
for every candidate of that party
whose name is under tho circle.
Second The percentage necessary to
place Independent candidates upon the
ticket is the same, one-half of 1 per
cent for candidates for state officers,
and 2 per rent for all other ofllrers,
the only change being that for state
officers th names must be secured la
at least ten counties, instead of any
one county, as at present.
Third The ballots are numbered;
unused and mutilated ballots are re
turned, as under the present law, to the
court.
Fourth The penalties remain tho
same as under the prestnt lav.
NO NAME TO APPEAIl TWICE.
The Focht bill differs from (he pres
ent law In that no name of a candidate
Fhall appear twice upon the same bal
lot for the same office. The candidate's
name will appear on the ballot under
the heading of the party which first
nominated him, unless he elects other
wise. No name can appear on the tlrkt as
a candidate for ofTb-p represent ine any
element or party or faction unless tlmt
element, faction or party maintains a
parly organization end is so reco-: '?rrt
by the public, and then the candidate
must have been nominated In accord
ance with the party rules. All candi
date on the ticket will he grouped,
each name followed by the patty des
ignation, but a stralt'ht rar.v ticket
may be voted by a cross In the circle,
which will appear at the top of the
ticket, one for each party represented
thereon.
Some chanpes are made in the tlxe
:or ntlng certuicates oi nomination and
nomination papers, buch pajrs having
to be filed earlier than is now pro
Tided by the Baker ballot law.
FAKE PARTIES BARRED.
Such terms as "Jeffctsoninn Demo
crats," "Lincoln Republicans." "Na
tional Democrats." "MtKlnloy Repub
licans." "Citizens," tc. will not be
possible under the new lav, unless the
parties claiming such titles maintain
an organization with fixed rules, poli
cies, etc. All such nominations will
appear on the tickets as "independ
ents." There ate a number of provisions de
signed to prevent fraud, ballot box
stuffing and other irregularities.
"While I have not had time to read
tne phi introduced ey tvnaior m. .
said Attorney General Llk'.n. "I under
stand its provisions In a general way
It is the best bill yet offered, and con
tains the principles necessary to bring
about needed reforms, tvuno amend
ments mav be made, but that is a mat
ter in the hands of the legislature.
The Republican organization and the
state administration are committed to
ballot reform, and this, as well as all
other party pledges, will bo faithfully
kept."
As the nu mbers have not as yet had
a chance to review Senator Focht's
bill it is Impossible to -secure an ex
presslon upon its merits, but those
stalwarts who have read a synopsis of
it arc much pleased with its general
inline.
INSURGENTS ARE NOT PLEASED.
Its presentation at this time is re
garded as most opportune, indicating
with convincing force the fact that the
party promises are to be fulfilled. The
Demo-Insut gents are not happy. Their
last professed grievance has been re
moved, and they have uothing left to
kick about except the ripper, and the
Focht bill will help along the charter.
The chances are radical. Under the
proposed law the opportunity for fraud
will lie greatly minim zed. Party reg
ularity is also encouraged. A fusion
ticket will be impossible. But the
voter will not be obliged to vote a
straight party ticket. He may cut at
his own sweet will. Indorsing a candi
date In any of the designated groups,
providing he dors not place a cross in
the party circles. This, of course, will
be inconvenient. All, however, will
share alike. The bill- was not drawn
In the interest of any party malcon
tents or bolters, and is not destined ns
a vehicle by which political minorities
may, by Joining hands, subvert the
will of the majority of the parties at
Interest.
BUSY WEEK PROMISED.
This promises to be a busy wrek, es
pecially In the house of npie.tiita
tives. The reform charter bill for
rittsburg, which is demanded by mem
bers of the Chamber cf Contnerce of
that city, will be on second rending
and probably final p.issige. 1 be is i
bitter fight onthismcasuio.ledby Flinn
and his Insurgent l'euiea.iuts. "r It :n
Is relying upon Col. Guffey, who Ls as
sociated with him in a number of
business enterprises, to get the Ptm
ocrats in the house to help bl nk this
refotm measure. Many Democrats s y

perpetuate the Flinn ring. :i;:e. their

last campaign.
The Kentucky Parson's Guarantee.
A good joke is told on a certain minis
ter of the gospel living in this city win
likes to trade horses by way of recrca
tion. By some means the preacher eanu
into possession cf a horse that wml.ln'l
pull lit all when he came to a hill. The
parson found a purchaser who inquireil
particularly ns to age, condition and qual
ities of the parson's steed. At last he
asked if he was a tried puller. "It would
do your soul good to see him pull." was
the enthusiastic tvsimnse. The trade was
made, and iu a few days the new ownei
came back nnd claimed the parson had
misrepresented the qualities of the ani
mal. "I t old yon it would do your sou
good to see 1; ho pull, nnd would it not
have done so?" The pun baser saw the
point and dropped the subject. Winches
