THE REPUBLICAN. W. M. CHENEY, -> - Eilltov. | FRIDAY, M.VR'II 13, IMM Kvpublirmi Stute <Oll veil I ion. To the Republican Electors of J'tnnsyloania. The Republicans of Pennsylvania, by their duly choseu representatives will meet in State Convention, Thurs day, April 23, 1896, at 10 o'clock a. m, in the Opera House, city of Harrisburg, for the purpose of nom inating two candidates for Repre sentatives at Large in Congress and thirty-two candidates for President t-ial electors, selecting eight dele gates at Large to the Republican National Convention, and transact ing such other business as may be presented. By'order of tho State Coin. M. S. QUAY, Chairman. Odd* oai I'ttmlidutes. A political gambling concern in Chicago which offers odds on the Prsidantial nominations of the two great parties, have sent out a circular concerning the standing of tho vari ous possible candidates and offers to take bets according to quotations contained in the circular. They have settled upon McKinley and Reed among the Republicans and Whitney and Olney in tho Democ racy as having the best chances and offers 23 to 1 on McKinley, 3 to J on lleed, 3 to 1 on Whitney and 3 to 1 on Olney. They will give -1 to 1 on Allison, 7 to 1 if Morton gets the cake, and 15 to 1 that Alger will not get it. If voti choose Davis or Cul lom you get S2O for every §1 you put up, and Benjamin Harrison's chances are not regarded as good or they would not give 525 to Si on liiin. Lincoln and Foraker are held at 30 to 1, and Cliauncey Depew at 35 to 1, which is playing it pretty low on"the peach." They will give 40 for your 1 on John Sherman, and have put Quay, Maderson and Ed munds in the 50 to 1 class. Gov. Bradley, of Kentucky, Elkins, Ilaw ley, Spooner and Proctor are re garded as "skates" and the odds are 100 to 1 that they will not win. Of the second raters on the Democratic course Horizontal Bill Morrison stands first, as 5 to 1 will be given if he is nominated, but Carlisle is close with Gto 1, and Grover Cleveland, notwithstanding liis reticence 011 thinl term matter?, is next at S to 1 David B. llill and Vice President Stevenson arc put up at 10 to 1, and ex-Governor Pattison at 25 to 1. The Governors, Campbell, Russel and Boies are quoted at 130 to 1, and Senator Gorman, who is not on good terms with anybody particular now days, is a 50 to 1 shot. Chief Justice Fuller, Postmaster General Wilson, Secretary Morton and General John M. Palmer are in the ruck of selling platers and go at 100 to 1. It is not likely that the dead game sports in Chicago will get any Eastern farm ers to bet with them, for the reason that the game is too risky, but their circular is interesting as showing how the chances for the Presidential candidacy aie regarded in the Windy City.—Harrisburg Telegraph. I'lic Hole in the ESullot !,:nv. The question regarding the right of a citizen representing that he is unable to mark his own ballot to have assistance was raised before the courts in New York city, where the provisions of the ballot law are not materially ditferent in this respect from those in this State. The mat ter is one of very general interest, since the Australian system is now so largely in use. A special election tor a member of the Legislature was to be held in one of the city districts and a citizen had applied tor a writ to restrain the inspectors of election from allow ing any illiterate vnter to have an assistant accompany him into the booth to aid in marking his ballot. The ground upon which this man damus was applied for is that the provision of the election law permit ting these assistants is nnconstitu* ticnal because it destroys the secrecy of the ballot. The real reason, how ever, is most likely very different. If the point raised could lie sustained it would relieve the ballot system of one of the features that has been greatly abused, but the New York court refused the writ. The actual objection is not that it destroys the secrecy of the ballot, but that it facilitates the work of bribery. It was regarded as one of the. advantages of the new sj'stem that the voter could mark and cast his ballot without any one knowing how he had voted. The old system nnder which the voter was handed a ballot of one party oidy as he came to the polls, and was in sight all the time until lie had voted practically enabled the watchers and workers to know for whom a ballot had been cast If a man had been paid for his vote the man who bought it pould stand by and see that the goods were delivered according to contract. Under tlic new system, where ho eon hi go alone into the booth to murk his bnllot, no one could tell how lie would vote. If he were dishonest enough to take unoney for his vote it was naturally suspect ed he would be dishonest enough to cheat in the end. But it did not take the smart tricksters long to find a place in the law lhat would be very useful to them. They began to insist when tlicy had bought a vote that the voter should ask to have some one assist in marking his bnllot and that gave the bribe-giver a chance togo along and see that the bribe-taker fulfilled his part of the dicker. If the purchased voter demurred or re fused to ask for assistance it would be suspected that he did not intend to play fair with his purchaser and the deal would likely by off. It has been shown in more than one elec tion contest in this State that so called assistants were permitted to be taken into tho booths by men who were perfectly well known to the election board to be entirely competent to mark their own ballots. The proceedings in New York show that the abuse is not singular to Pennsylvania and that it is likely to attract enough attention to com pel some change. There can be no doubt that it will be one of the live reforms before the next Legislature and there will not be a more impor tant one to be considered. David Martin of Philadelphia, is talked of as the next Senator from the Bth district. The district is at present representated by lion. Jacob Crouso whose terra does not expire until after the next session. It is said that he is willing to resign and let Mr. Martin be elected next November. Grouse is to be provid ed for by being made Assistant Director of the Department of Pub lic Works of the citj-. There is fun ahead arid lots of it with both Mar tin and Magee entitled to seats in the Senate Chamber at the next ses sion of the Legislature, Dr. Rchaeffrr, Superintendent of Public Instruction, has indicated in a circular letter the kind of blank bonk to be supplied by the County Commissioners to tho several Asses sors for the taking of the school census. lie suggests that the book should be ruled with the following columns: (1). Name of the child; (2), residence or sub-school district; (3), age; (1), sex; (5) color; (G), the num ber of weeks at school during this school year; (7), cause of non-atten dance in case of prolonged absence; (8), name of parents, guardian or other person having charge of the child; (9), a column of remarks, in which may be entered the occupa tiou of the child when out of school or any other helpful information. The census will be used in the at tempt to enforce the Compulsory Education law. CONDENSED REPORT of the First Rational Eank of Dushnre at close of business February 28,1806. HE SOURCES.
