ffin' The rccond day's session of tfao Xntlon.il Prl-
Hp mary Election Leatrno was characterized by tho
-?& perfection of a permanent national onr&nLza
B tlon, to be known as tbe National '"rlmary
LKi! KIcctlon League, and by the readlmr ot Dapcrs
HpJ and tho delirerlnif of aildrcsses rather moro to
HT the point of practical reforms than Traa relished
Kftv by the theorists who are lending factors In tbe
Kr, iMgTieV.dlscusslons. The Cominltleo on Ilcfra
Bjge- lax Onmnization reported In tho inornlnB in
R faror of a natlonnl organization, liaTinir for its
aaati? jrarpose tho encouragement of legislation in the
& seTcral Statu which shall properly rcsulnlo
MKT the conduct of enrollments, registrations, prl-
naaV'4 marles, caucuses, conventions, nominations, and
HJHl elections, and assuring and insuring to voters
VijI their right a such. An executive committee
H;4 of fifteen was authorized to prepare by-laws,
H. ontanlzo auxiliary branches In tlio different
Hb States, arouse public sentiment, nd arrange
BR for'annual mectii ijs. The conttltution declares
W7w' that tbe If spue rincs not assume to direct what
.Bfi form of statuto law should bo enacted in any
H4i) Btate and does not bold itself responsible for
na!-S opinions or suggestions made in debates or
E$ contained in any paper read before it
WiA" The report was adopted, and tho discussion
B& opened, wltn Mayor Qulncey of Boston In the
Jyr chair. Oscar Straus spoke of the alleged evils
Ky el bosslsm, and declared that the people were
Btf, deprived of an intended right In the government
H' of the municipality. State, and nation, and
?- Georgo F. flush explained a primary election
Kl bill he had Just introduced In tho Illinois Leg-
W. Ulature. The provisions of the bill did not
H differ particularly from primary election laws
Wm which have been in action In several States
B&I' for somo time. When he bad concluded his
Bj( explanation Mr. Itnsh launched into a tirade
K& against existing conditions.
Bvt "Our Government," aald be, "is on oligarchy
HP In fact, and an oligarchy of a bad kind, because
iiV the few who govern us are not in sight for ne-
WtM atniction. Ours is a Government by a frnr men
Huf. In a close, a soulless corporation known as the
B "regular organization.' We, tho people, are in-
RKjs convcnlencrd. we are repressed, we are shamed,
BiK we aro Insulted, and we are rubbed by this in-
MmS human oligercby."
WkW Durinj the entire conferenco so far the
Rjj theories which havo been advanced, with few
B-W exceptions, declared the populur vote plan na
Bfyi. tho panacea for tho alleged evil of bo'slsm.
While numberless methods hae been sug-
B rested they differed only in small particulars,
K but no paper had been read reviewing the prac-
jP Ucal workings of the popular voto tvstcm until
J$ yesterday afternoon, when ono was presented
MW Tom L. Johnson. As Mr. Johnson declared
Be tho popular vote plan an utter failure and a
Kn menace to public welfare, he was not applauded.
Bl After hnvlng anoounccd that tho Crawford
BM: county plan of primaries for the selection of
Kw, candidates by a direct vote had been in ogue
Bp tn somo counties of Ohio for fifteen )ears and
tS for eight years In Cuyahoga county, in which
PE Cleveland is located, the paper said:
gjj "During tho cixht years ihis system has been
5m In vogue in Cleveland it has proved to be posi-
HPo tlvcly harmful to party success nt the election
H5t following the primaries, since the contest for
Hs tbe Domination?, revere and bitter as it often
Mf Is, leaves the party weak und disorganized.
" From onr cxpericneo it would seem that tho
?? ordinary indlvidunl has little fltncis to judgo
Km the ablliiy or a cand.date for olllce. or. having
Bm the ability, he has little inclination to use it.
j In the practical workings of the system tbe
Kvf nomination eccker. who can make tho most
Ha noisy canvasa, who has tbe largest amount of
B-Sr Space for iilu.urcs of himself and wonderfui
stories of bis great Hvc of tho common people,
BVP, Inherited from obscure ancestors und acquired
Kj!1 In the most humble ways of life. Is liable to get
Bi the most votes. This Is especially so when he
Ki starts his convincing cuivaes, if he has nad
K some notoriety, either savory or unsavory. It
mjlj Is n consummation devoutly wished Iiy a can- i
K; didate that he be talker, about; l...t people
"S know his name, it scming to be of Muall ini
K port&nce whether the speech concerning him ;
iS be favorable or otherwise.
K;, "In a county having a population of 450,000
b few persons are known to even n small percent -
ffi age of the population, and It seems that almost
. auy sort of publieit) gi en a mn is sullicient
H'f-t' to turn a large number toward him when he
h becomes a jidldate fur office. The vuters
Kj have beard his name mentioned; they have seen
tvJ It In the newspapers, and knowing no other by
PV't name, aud Lavlng.no immedhite kLowledge as to
Et his honesty or nbillty, or tbe honesty and utility
r-. of any other candidate, they vote for the person
whose muue they have seen tin treat r Mini-
e'.J berof times, llenco the Police Judge, who is I
known to many persons and whose name Is
m& much in the papers, is the cm cud starting joint
fov- of all ambiuoui politicians who aspire to the
Kg' highest public honors and who are generally
Ktk Invincible.
t "Tho idea that a popular vote plan will w.th
draw the nomination of candidates from pollt- ,
i. leal rings is erroneous. The political energits
.$ of the man In office who sccke to pertetuatu
vS hlnuclf therein are so directed that when tho
S? deir people awake after the night of the prl- I
it' Diaries tbeytlnd that the politician has served
i-j hU purnoso more completely than If he had
W. controlled tho delejates In a con enUon. The
ffi" popular vote plan, when erect ically admlnls-
i& tered, gives opportunity for an immense ueo of
'-tf money. No landidnte ce-i hope for uomina i
SffS tlon without making hetvy expenditures in ad- '
M rartlsing bis canvas itnrl pushing it by tho most
f approed political methods. The hope that the
gu pmn of appeillng to the people direct would
!3. call forth a better class of candidates has been
fit abandoned, since under tbi the crop of cnndl-
K, dates is considerably larger than under tho
s convention plan, and is of surprising weakness
sj? and great inability. Tbe (.Teatcst frauds aro
S perpetrated. Democrats have voted for lltyub-
,. llcans and repeaters have gone from wird to
'ft ward and voted for a particular list of cundl-

PoconKEErsiE, Jan. 21. A travelling man
giving his name as Sidney David Patterson and
his home as Montrose, Pa., visited the village of
Pine Plains, Dutchess county, last spring, and
became acquainted with Alice L. Thomas, n
maiden lady who manages a summer boarding
houso which has an exclusive patronage or
wealthy people from New York and other large
, cities. Patterson made lovo to Miss Thomas
and prevailed upon her to marry nim. The day
was set for the wedding, but Patterson was sad-
j denly called to Montrose, where he said ho had
large prope'r'T inerrst.
Miss Thomas heard nothing from blm until
several months later. She received a letter In
which he told of loss of property and offered
for her own sake to release her from the en
gagement. Miss Thomas sent blm a telegram
I ur-Ir.g bim to come on at once and make h.r hi" '
wife. He rode into Pir.o Plains utI in Sop
temher on n bicycle. and was weU-omei wrm- .
. by Miss Thomas, who gave him money to bur
clothes for the weddlnr, which was solemnized '
1 on Sept. 3 at theBiptlsi Church. Mrs. Patter- I
son bought her husband a borse and wagon, and
several months ago niscd ?C00 among her '

"Patterson left m without a dollar." she
writes. "lb ii to take In w.isblng to lite, and

John Iteedy, Postmaster, station agent, tele
graph operator nnd school tax gatherer of Po
cantlco IIIUs, who was arrested on complaint
of Anthony Comstock on Thursday for aiding
swindling operations as told In Tub Son yes
terday, was arraigned before United States
Commissioner Shiolils yesterday and held In
$2,300 ball for examination on Jan. 28. Ball
was furnished by Michael Foley, owner of the
Pocantleo Houso and of several buildings In
Yonkcrs. Besides tbe criminal charge against
Beedy, his conduct will be investigated by Chief
Post Olllco Inspector Ashe.
Post Oflico Inspectors Anthony Comstock and
John D. King hare been working on tho case
kinco last June Tho operations of tbe irreen
goods gang, as they liavc unearthed them, aro
I about as follows: First, a circular Is sent out as
' a feeler, which is to be answered by a telegram
1 to A. II. Cruni, Pocantleo Hills, containing an
J address. Tho name in this address probably
I refers to a volume of names and addresses, and
' the number designates ono particular name and
address in it. The name and address are those
of tho supposed sender of the telegram, and If
there is no discrepancy a "sample of the goods"
is sent to him with three circulars giving ex
illicit directions for the actions of the prospec
tive purchaser, a prico list nnd a hotel card.
Tho "sample" is, of course, a brand new, genu-
lne bill of small denomination, which is gener
, ally wrapped in oil silk with tho explanation
that it is frcshtfrcni the pre s and may rub off
a little ink, and ruro enough there is a littlo
green smudge on tho oil silk. When tho pros
pective puivhiscr decides to Invest ho tele
graphs 'o . Garcia, some number, Pocantleo
Hill!, and mentions in tome ve'led way the
amount pie intends to invest. In reply the
dupe is instructed to write to Henry P. Hamil
ton, lot) Klgblh avenue. New York, it anything
is not understood or further information is de- I
sired. Then a meeting is appointed at which i
the green goods arc to be sold.
Three private mall boxes in a cigar store havo
been hired In the nainu of Hamilton, and tho
proptietor of tho placo has been supplied with
eddrctsol envelopes and Instructed to forward
I ell mall trutn those boxes to William Murray,
COO Ninth avenue. As soon as an inspector or
any Government agent has tver located such a
place all the rantl in It baa nearly always been
abandoned aud the address discontinued. 1 bis
' has beon the case with these two places of re
ceipt. The unusual circumstance in this case
is the fact that thu letters and telegrams ad
1 dressed to Pocantleo Hills did not stop after
1 their receipt thcro was discovered. Comstock
I said rest rday:
I 'The story told by needy is wrong In some
I particulars. In tho first place, 1 never saw
Iteedy in his office before Dee. 0 last, but I
did sec a letter of instructlnns written to him
by Superintendent Humsted of the telegraph
company to the effe-t that telegrams to Cruru
and Garcia must not bo delivered unless these
persons were fully and positively identified.
They continued to be delivered, nevertheless,
until my visit in December, after w-Llch lleedv's
instructions were not to deliver or forward
the telegrams at all. Ho was eager to show
us the accumulation ol undelivered telegrams
yesterday, but the suttance of their contents
had continued to reach the right rnrtles, fir
among them waa the very telegram that mado

niZZ. TEST THE J1RMGE TROLLEY.
Parlor Can la Make a Mound Trip Brawlar !
Cars May llaa To3lorrw.
Thcro Is to be a test of the trolley line between
Brooklyn and this city by way of the bridge tu-
day. Probably three parlor cars of the Brook
lyn Heights road will be nsed to carry a party
of guests on a round trip over the bridge. The
trip is to begin at half past 10 this morning.
Engineer Martin will be asked to allow a
limited number of regular passenger cars to be
put In operation on tho brldgo to-morrow.
President lto. slier of tbe Brooklyn Heights ,
road thinks that by starling cars now on fifteen
minutes' headway the motormea, passengers
and drivers will get used to the new arrange- I
ment with less likelihood of accident than If I
the system were put into full operation all at j
once. Feb. 10 Is tho dale now set for the com- I
pletlon of all work connected with tbe trolley
car service on the bridge. 1 he oars crossing tbe
bridge will carry a sign on the dashboard read
ing: " Direct to New York."

Women suffering from any form of femalo weakness are Invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Flnkham at Lynn, Mass. All letters aro received,
opened, read and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her privato
Illness to a woman; thus has been established the eternal confidence between
Mrs. 1'lnkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of
th vaat volume of experience which sho has to draw from, It Is more than pos
sible that sho has gained tho very knowledgo that will help your case.
Sho asks nothing In return except your good-will, and her advice has relieved
thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, la very foolish If she docs not take
advantage of this generous offer of assistance. Lydla E. Plnkham Medicine Co.,
