Dr. Hamilton for the Caucus. , , The Philadelphia Bulletin recently sent oat inquiries to all the Senators and Members of the Assembly, asking if they /'regarded a party caucus as binding upon members who refosed to participate therein/7 and asking their opinion as to the necessity for ballot reform legislation. Dr. B. 8. Hamilton, of this county, replied follows: . 4tI believe the caucus to be a necessary adjunct to party organization. As our Republican Institutions are all founded upon the idea of majority rule, and as ours is a government by j>artles, I cannot see how we can consistently ignore the princi pie of majority rule within the party. The caucus, in my opinion, is as essential to the government of the party as the principle of majority rule is to the government of the country, and I oannot regard a man aa a good Republican—or Democrat, either—who refuses to be governed by the will of the majority as expressed in a! regular caucus. "In regard to ballot legislation. I have given the rabjeot but little consideration beoaase there is little or no complaint about the present system in the rural districts. As a rule, I believe we have honest eleotlons in the country. But if the people of the large cities need further safeguards to the ballot and can agree upon a proper measure which promises to im prove their political morals I will gladly assist them in putting the same ou the statute books." floor carpet room.
