Sear nearer aanee serene Ae The principal object for calling one now, democratic leaders openly admit, is to enact laws for the protection of colored voters who wish to vote the democratic ticket. The demo- crats claim that a large number of colored men who wanted to vote with them at the recent election were either forced to vote the republican ticket or kept awa: from the polls, and those who did vote the democratic ticket have been ostracized or bod- ily injured since the election, and that some law of protection for them is necessary. The democrats assert that bpd lan of the republicans of having only one holder at each voting L were! from whom republican tickets can be and not to @ ballot from.whom is to be proseri legislated against. This, they say, extra session is needed for in spring municipal and fall gubernatorial and legislative elections. They hold that if the laws could be amended so as to ide that each voter should enter the pol lace by the front door and leave by the bac! doar, an no one sare the judges of election should be present when the iscast, the who wishes to vote with the democrats would. have which he anno to the House that the gen- tleman would wit wwhia objection. . Meanwhile, the delay caused by Mr. Atkin- son's objection gave time for the arrival of Mr. Wilkins, of Ohio, who upon the first objection being withdrawn renewed it. LOSING THEIR LEAVES. Treasury Clerks Grumbling Because They Can’t Get Away. The clerks of the Treasury are somewhat ex- ercised over the fact that some of them will not be able to take all of the leave that iscoming to them this year, and under a rul- ing of the Secretary made some months ago, if they do not take their full thirty days before the first of January they lose the un- | used time. As this situation dawns upon the clerks there is a rush of applications for leave during the Christmas holidays, and the result is a-rale in operation ia the Treasury deparsnat erule en that not more than 20 per cent of the clerks of @ bureau shall be wed to absent them- Tho consequence is thet but thie peroen': juence ut this percen' age of leaves is granted, and the Ged of grumbling. “A compitiat “heting of 2 com: reached the ears of s StaR ter that unusual hardship in this line existed in the offices of the second controller, and the second and sixth auditors, he investigated the state of things in the first-named bureau and learned that Controller Butler, on the 3d in- stant, issued an order to_his chiefs of divisions that they should let allclerks go on leave who time coming to them and desired to use it, keeping just enough at their desks to prevent an absolute stoppage of work. At the ap tment division he also learned that all applications for leave that bear the ap- proval of the bureau chief are being granted without question. So that it would seem that whatever hardships exist result from the ope- ration of the 20 per cent rule and not from any other cause, WASHINGTON NEWS AND GOSSIP. “Not at all.
