(Special Correspondence.) Philadelphia. July 31.—Ballot reform may be ont of the important state Is sues in the coming campaign. There Us reason to believe, however, that this may he eliminated from the partisan contest, if the leaders of the different elements continue to express senti fnents in accord with those uttered within the last few flays. Col. Quay, in a recent public declaration, went on record in favor of the most sweeping reforms in the matter of a secret ballot and an absolutely fair return of the votes cast, and he also advocated per sonal registration of voters. He gave it as his opinion mat these reforms could only be had within a reasonable time by the calling of a non-partisan convention, which would amend the present constitution so as to permit the requisite legislation to he passed before the adjournment of the next legisla ture. It would be necessary for the legislature which convenes in January next to pass an act providing for the immediate calling of a constitutional convention. Such a convention being held without delay would permit of the Introduction of such bills in the gen eral as.--'ai ; would be required to carry out tl:" uurposcs of the framers vt the ron tution. I GOVERNOR BLACK S ATTITUDE. It was, therefore, noteworthy that last week former Lieutenant Governor i Chauncey F. Black, one of the most I respected and distinguished members j of the Democratic party in this state, | came out boldly in favor of the holding j of a convention to revise the constitu | tion in order to reform the voting sys | tem of the commonwealth. In a carefully prepared statement for i publication he gave the objections to | following the antiquated method of leaving this problem of ballot reform I to be solved by the state legislature un der the existing constitution. He re i ferred to the fact that John Wana ! maker, in at least two of his public i speeches, advocated this convention idea as the only plan by which ballot ! reform could be obtained, and he re ferred at some length to the failures ! of the past, declaring that the ballot | law now in force in this state is a fraud, and then recounted the abuses i that have grown up under the present system. Governor Black then pointed to dec | larations from John Wanamaker in November. 181)9, and again in March, 1900, on the subject of ballot reform and quoted him as having said on the last occasion mentioned: "I, therefore, address myself to the people of Pennsylvania, to all qualified electors without distinction of party, whose lives, liberties and property lie today at the mercy of irresponsible po litical machines and their powerful secret and corrupt allies, and ask them to unite in the nomination and election of candidates for the legislature pledged to vote for a fair, non-partisan act calling a constitutional convention for immediate ballot reform, the sub stance and essential provisions of which shall be embodied in the funda mental law beyond the reach of corpor ate or machine power." QUOTES COLONEL QUAY. Continuing. Governor Black said: "And now comes Mr. Quay, the ac cepted chief of the regular Republican party, not only with a cuidid admission of the scandalous state of affairs and the universal demand for a change, but with a carefully devised and specific program for a constitutional conven tion as the only means of certain and immediate relief. He declares that the legislature, under the present consti tution, has no power to pass a personal registration law for the cities or to pro vide a secret ballot, while any voter may take another into the booth to at test his ticket: that the pending amendments not madatory: that even if. after a long and expensive process, they are adopted and incorpor ated in tlio constitution, they do not, of themselves, effect a reform, but leave the whole matter dependent upon the will of future legislatures which, as all our experience shows, are little likely j to abate abuses that Inure to the profit j of powerful corporate or private inter- | ests. "Thus we have the intellectual and responsible chiefs of the two divisions of the Republican party," remarked Governor Black, after quoting Col. Quay at length, "in unison upon this ; most important of all public questions in our state. Mr. Quay, after due con sideration, magnanimously and une quivocally accepts Mr. Wanamaker's proposition for an immediate and radi- \ cal reform by the only means available. He not only accepts it. but he pledges himself and, as far as he can. his party to a fair, non-partisan constitutional convention bill like that of 1872. Here we have the perfect model, the Buckalew bill, under which as sembled a convention embody ing the very highest wisdom and purest public morality of the common wealth, anil in which not a partisan word was uttered from beginning to end. At a meeting of the executive com- ! inittee of the Democratic Society of Pennsylvania, held at Harrisburg last [ week, resolutions were unanimously j adopted indorsing the proposition for | the holding of a non-partison conven tion. Whisky Medicines. The temperance press is emphasizing the danger to the home in the use of "medicines" which are loaded with whisky or alcohol.

So is their complexion. They may also have indigestion, or sutler front sleeplessness, rheumatism, neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous exhau stion and sometimes the heart aches bad ly. The cause is weak, unhealthy kidneys.

I.—ln th trial of former Secretary of Stat Caleb Powers, charged with complicit; in the Goebel shooting, the defendan yesterday afternoon completed his tes timony and cross examination was be gun. In regard to the guns in his office which Governor Taylor's private sec retary, McKenzie Todd, referred to !• his testimony, the witness said he di> not know how they came there, bu understood that one or two were let there at the end of Governor Brad ley's administration. The orhers wer putin there later, he supposed, b 1 some of the mountaineers. Powers sail he wrote the letter to President Ste vens, of Barbourville, Feb. 10, sayim in substance: "The present demoralized conditio) of the Democratic party is due to m< more than any other man in the statf They know I am in favor of an ope declaration of war." Former Governor Brown, who wa conducting the direct examinatior asked Powers what he meant by thi expression. The prosecution objecte< to any explanation of the letter, oi the ground that there was no ambig uity about the words used, and that 1 should goto the jury to be construe' by it. The court sustained this con terttion. Powers admitted part of a conver sation with Representative Hamptor of Knox county, but said Hampton ha misconstrued the main point. Wha he said was that if Goebel should be come governor and witness held o 1 to the office of secretary of state tha somebody might assassinate him, bu did not mean to insinuate that Goebe would have that done. He also admit ted that while in jail at Frankfort h urged Culton to not testify in the ap plication for bail, but said that h make the recommendation for Culton' own good. NOTICE.
