I.'V r ;lV'-' Hi J V WHO WILL IT 118? I I - ( POLITICAL THICKS. The political trick are not always oi a character to cover their author with glory, or to cause their names to goxlown to prosperity with honor or renown. ..One that is ascribed to Governor of New York Is about the thinest, and smacks the loudest ot autocratic dishonesty, of any yet put on accord. To break the repub lican majority In the senate he causes the throning out of a lot of ballots cast for a republican candidate for the senator in one of the interior counties the ground that they were "marked baliots," and therefore illegal. The marks consisted in an im pression made by an em quad In printing some of the ballots. This piece (of type tnetal, as often happens in printing,. Jjad ilsen up in the form, and souuvtMrfy baW Jots were found to be-sllgfctfy marked by it. Now, this, oUatfrse was not an in tentional niajWfgof the ballot so as to lucnuiy ire person who roted I:, w hich Is lb aeTthat the law forbids. -Mo UJernht, Verily it is true that ''the political trick I are not always of a character to cover theli authors with glory, or to cause their name8 to go down to prosperity with honor or renown," and aa proof of this Iruth we have only to adduce the statement ol the Herald that "Governor Hill caused the throwing out of a lot of ballots cast fur a republican candidate for the senate In one , of the interior coun'les, on the ground that ' they were "marked ballots" and therefore illegal. " Now, the truth is, that Gover nor Hill had no more to do with the can vassing board of Onan dago county than the governor of California, He wai not a member of the board, ws net present when the canvass was made, was not the adviser of the board and had no more to do with its deliberations than "the man In the moon." So much for the "political trick" of .he Herald played for that pur pose of political capital. Then as to the marked ballots. In addition to the Im pression of the em quad, there was a pen cil mark around the em quad impression, thus clearly showing that there was an evident design to disclose the character of the ballots. "PolWcvil tiicis" p-e no good. THE VALUE OF OS E VOTE The election of Mi Graham for councilman in the Third Ward by one vote over Mr Wheeler, and the election of wo couucilmen in Silem, cacb by one majority, call; to mind some close elections in the past hbtos y of the country and the important turns given to national and state affairs thereby: Marcus Morton was elected governor of Massachusetts by one vote in 1S30, and David B Hill was elected United States Senator by t3 votes in the legislature ol 1S91. In 1SS6 there was a tie in the third district of Passaic county, New Jersey, bstween the republican and democratic candidates, A recount of the votes elected the democratic ominee by one majority, and gave that parry just.that majori'y on j tint ballot in the legislature. This carried with it the election of a democratic senator, Kufus Blodgett, in the place of V S Jewell, republican. ' It is news to most of the readers of the daily press that one vote was responsible for both the Mer ican war and the war of 1812. Just before the Mexican war, in 1844, Hugh C Flannegan as elected repiesentative in St Joseph county, Indiana, by one majority. He went to the legislature and his vote elect ed a United Stares Senator by one majority. This United States Senator's one vote brought on the Mexican war, so St Joseph county has had an experience that no other county, perhaps, i.i the United Slates has had with a single vote four men elected to impor'ant local offices by single votes, ar.d the Mexican war brought on by a single vote! In the spring of 1 81 1 at the annual election in Rhode Island, in one of the towns or pre cincts, the voting between the federal and republican, or democratic, peace or war, parties had been for years very clos, not more th.-in a majority of one or t-o vu:i.'s. Ths polls closed at 6 o'ciock, and a fe:!?;"1! faim; livin: a mile or so distant from the voting plact having been Dusy all da, allowed tiimsei' ust time to reach the polls in the evening. He hurriedly crossed his Melds on foot and reaching his last, or division fence, found one ofhis valuable pigs fist between the planks and stopped to gtt it out, which he found more difficult than he expected. But he worked with all his strength to pull the pig out, and failing in that, tried to pry off a plank from the fence which, after some time he succeeded in doing, and then started on a run for the voting place. Just as he ws within :oo feet of it the 'own clock struck 6 and the polls closed without his vote. The result was that a democratic, or war repie sentative, from that town was elected by one vote. When the general assembly met a few wetks afterward a democratic, or war, United States Senator was chosen on joint ballot hy one majority. In 1812 the declaration of war with England was carried in the United States Senate by one vote. General Jackson was nominated as a major general and con firmed by one vote. On January 9, 1815, he commanded the army at the battle of New Orleans, gained a great victory, became a popular military hero tnd as his reward was elected and re-elected president of the United Sates; turned all the whigs out of office re moved the deposits, vetoed the national bank bill and played the devil genera ily, and all because that pig away up in Rhode Island got last in a plank fence. Tne Davenport, Iowa, Dcmocuit has published let'crr. f 0111 100 members of the Fifty-second cong.ess on the dvisabll'!y of giving Gov Doles a place on the iipIIomvi t'cLet. It was left enthely op.'onal wl It the w I er to give him fiist place o' second. The result shows hat Gov Dole ' talked ot ueoerallv lor vice-rneaulent; 'n fac , that no other name Is mentioned, x. cept that of Gov Gay, pud ids champiu.is are all found in the n.ale o' J ndi.'oa. The drift of sentiment In favor of Iowa's gov ernor for the second nlace is s.'oig throughout all the southern.' et, and ! e congressmen from th.-t ecllon a e no 're ably outspoken in announcing Ihel' d tt-, erence.
