dates of some one party or nominating body for all the offices to be filled, each name under the title of the office. The number of ballots, therefore, is one more than the number of tickets run. Pens, ink, pencil, paper and mucilage are provided in each compartment. While in the booth, the voter must fold all the tickets, so that only the printed endorsement and stub numbers can be seen. He then comes out of the booth, and immediately, without leaving the enclosed space, shows to the inspectors the folded ballots. They make sure that all the numbers on the stubs are the same as that entered against the voter's name. He then hands to them They, without unfolding the ballot that he wishes to vote. the ballot, tear off the numbered stub, and deposit the ballot in the box. He then delivers to them all his unused ballots, and they tear off the stubs, and put the ballots into a box kept for the purpose. This is the simple process. A sample ballot, folded as the law requires, is here inserted. If a voter spoils a ballot, he may obtain another full set. If he makes oath before the inspectors that he is physically unable to prepare his ballots, he may take one person into the booth to help him. Upon any ballot the voter may write or paste any name in place of that of any candidate printed upon the ballot, or he may fill up the blank ballot as he sees fit if he wishes to use it. It is possible for the voter to commit a number of crimes in the process of voting. But he will avoid all trouble, if he will be orderly and honest, will be careful to attend strictly to the business of voting until it is done, will return every official ballot to the inspectors, will leave the enclosure as soon as he has voted, will not ask anyone for help in preparing his ballot, and will not tell anyone in the polling place how he intends to vote, or how he has voted. PATRICK H. DUFFY. Ist ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. [Ist assembly district bounded by Canal St., Broadway, Park Row, Spruce St., Gold St., Ferry St., and Peck Governor's, and Ellis Islands.] Includes also TAMMANY DEMOCRAT. LIQUOR DEALER, 442 Washington St. House, 442 Washington St. Mr. Duffy was born in Cork, Ireland, 16th March, 1847, and immigrated to this country when about seven years of age. He attended public schools. When about twenty-four years old, he became a bar-tender in a saloon at No. 113 Hudson Street, which he soon owned. Now, has a saloon at 442 Washington Street. He was member of assembly in 1884, as an Irving Hall Democrat; he served again in 1889, as a Tammany Democrat, making a poor record. Mr. Duffy's course, during the past session, was no improvement upon that of previous years. The experience he has gained, has not been used for the public good. He is less dangerous than his predecessor, Daniel E. Finn, chiefly in that he is less astute and influential. Mr. Finn was the proprietor of two saloons; Mr. Duffy of only one. Received when elected, 2,868 votes; Daniel E. Finn, County Democrat, 2,701. Total number of votes cast, 5,597. Member of Standing Committees: (1) on charitable and religious societies, and (2) on trades and manufactures. He introduced 9 bills: No. 138. So amending Chap. 409, Laws 1886, as to provide additionally for the appointment of ten female deputy factory inspectors. Introduced in the Senate by Mr. Brown. Became a law, with the number of deputy inspectors reduced. Chapter 398, Laws of 1890. No. 198. So amending the Ives Pool-Sellers' Act of 1887, as to require that the sale of pools be made directly between the betting parties, and to make fines imposed for violation of the act a lien upon the premises wherein the violation took place. No. 347. To compel Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey Ferry Companies to provide urinals on all their boats. An old strike. No. 435. Requiring railroads within cities to run cars at intervals of not less than one half hour, day and night. The old Ninth Avenue Elevated Railroad strike. No. 523. Repealing Chapter 570, Laws of 1887. The effect of the passage of this bill would be to reduce the price of gas in the Annexed District from $1.60 to $1.25. No. 624. An attempt to take away the right of a life insurance company, in an action upon one of its policies, to contest the question of insurable interest, or to set up in defense the existence of another policy upon the same life. confusing and unnecessary piece of legislation. A No. 626. Reducing telegraph rates for all distances as follows: day messages, ten cents for the first ten words, and one half cent for each additional word; night messages, ten cents for the first twenty words, and one half cent for each additional word. This bill has the ear-marks of a strike. No. 705. Requiring conductors of railroads within cities of 250,000 inhabitants, to report in writing, under oath at the end of each day, the amount of fares collected by them during the day, to an official of the road, who shall at the end of each month transmit these statements, under his oath, to the financial officer of the city, who in turn shall use these reports as a basis upon which to determine the amount of the gross receipts to be paid into the city treasury by the company, pursuant to chapter 252, Laws of 1884. This bill was characterized by the press as a strike aimed particularly at the Broadway Railroad. No. 1009. To allow the Fulton Street Electric R. R. to use the tracks of the Bleecker Street road for a distance of two thousand feet. This bill is too ingeniously drawn to be credited to Mr. Duffy's authorship. Its curious limitations were doubtless intended to grant a special privilege, under the guise of a general law. TIMOTHY D. SULLIVAN. 2D ASSEMBLY DISTRICT. [2d assembly district bounded by Canal St., Bowery, Catharine St., East River, Peck Slip, Ferry St., Gold St., Spruce Street, Park Row, and Broadway.] TAMMANY DEMOCRAT. LIQUOR DEALER, 116 Centre St., House, 4-6 Franklin Street. Mr. Sullivan was born in New York City, 23d July, 1863, of Irish parents. Received six or seven years' schooling in the public schools of this city. Grew up amid the most depraved surroundings. Later he was employed in various newspaper delivery offices. He was formerly a liquor dealer; then an undertaker at 148 Leonard Street. He now has a saloon, with a partner named O'Brien, at 116 Centre Street, known as "The Court Exchange," and still retains his interest in other questionable saloons. He was a member of the assembly in 1887, 1888 and 1889, representing the second district, and made a bad record. During his first two terms he was a County Democrat, after which he joined Tammany. Mr. Sullivan's record during the past session was thoroughly bad. He is in the Assembly primarily for his own pecuniary good. He has more than once been heard to complain, that the results have not brought him in as much as he hoped for. As a legislator he is preposterous. After paying attention to the pecuniary side of a question, his sole object seems to be to get as much amusement out of the proceedings as possible. During the past session he was continually upon his feet, and posed as clown of the House. At times, he voted in the negative upon bills of minor importance, with no apparent purpose other than to be the sole member in opposition. Mr. Sullivan is fond of notoriety, and is quick to take advantage of circumstances that will keep him before the public, as was shown by his introduction of a bill requiring that sausage, made from horse-flesh, should be so marked before being exposed for sale,-a bill ostensibly based upon the alleged discovery that such sausage had been made by one man on Long Island. This bill he made the cause of much merriment on the floor of the Assembly. He was one of the four New York City Assemblymen that voted against the humane measure giving the State the care of the pauper insane. It was commonly reported that "there was money" in opposing this bill. The only way to improve the representation of the Second District is to keep Mr. Sullivan away from Albany. Received when elected, 4,189 votes; Thomas Maher, County Democrat, 1,864. Total number of votes cast, 6,077Member of Standing Committees: (1) on banks, and (2) on privileges and elections. He introduced II bills. Among them were three bills providing for the payment of certain stale claims against the City, and the following: No. 242. Giving the Sinking Fund Commissioners the authority to regulate the rentals to be charged for using the electric subways. No. 291. Reducing ferry rates on East River ferries. An old strike of several years' standing. No. 327. Horse-flesh sausage bill, above referred to. Nos. 739 and 1153. Requiring street surface railroads |
