A Double Slate.
(Special Cor. State Chronicle.)
There is no trouble about a single
slate. Everybody can understand that.
The vote is then polled at the ward
meeting in proportion to the two con
testing candidates strength. Nobody is
deceived. But a weak candidate some
times tacks on to the strong slate of an
other. It is found out in caucus who
can certainly carry the ward. A
slate is made out ostensibly for him
alone, but when they come to the con
vention, it is found they are unanimous
ly for somebody else, too, whose name
was not even called when the vote
was taken, and was not the
strongest perhaps he had hardly any
strength at ail, but he gets there all the
same. "Whose slate is that you are
reading out V asked a voter of a ward
politician in a primary. "It ia Mr. A's,"
said the politician. "But we are for
him, too," said the voter. "Yes, but
we are tho true, original A men," said
the politician. These true original "A"
men had been slated in a ward caucus
of B's friends. A was so strong he
didn't need any caucus, but B did,
and the delegates chosen were
found to be at the convention "the only
true original B men" also. B rode in
on-A's strength. Nobody could dispute
their being A men nobody knew the y
were B men. There are two ways of
breaking up this sort of thing.
1. Whenever there is a contest over
more than one office let the delegates
be chosen with reference to every con
test, even if you have to break several
slato3 to get delegates of tho riaht
complexion.
2. Let the vote be polled at the ward
meeting relative to each office where
there is a contest, and delegates be
chosen or instructed accordingly. It i3
certainly not fair for one strong candi
date to determinine the complexion of
the delegation for every officer. Still less
is it fair if his delegates have been
chosen with reference to some weak
candidate's interests. Nothing can elect
the ticket this year but the utmost fair
play in all the nomination?.
