During the present week all these othasls wiz re-

books we will recapi.uate little for their benefit
Knowing that politicians regard newspapers az better
,utbcrty ttsp the standard works. The Inspe, ,tors
,s TO attend the polls from sunrise to sunset receive
+, their own hands, aud themselves deposit all votes
Ld see that challenged voters properly swear 10 their
O.es Contrary TO usual custom, however, this year,
hinder the law, the Inspectors duties will cease at
INSET. Then the Canvassers' duties commence. The
luva1ers are to attend the polls half hour before
Asy close at sunset; il but two attend they are to
Ippoht third from the three Inspectors. 10
tryssser only is in attendance he, with the Inspect
k,, shall appoint other two from citizens at large;
Ed 10 case none Of the Canvassers appear then the
Inspectors win fll the three vacancies by appoint.
nts Ct legal voters in the district and administer to
ksen the above oa,h. The Canvassers organize by
khOcsrg Chairman, but they cannot legally have a
Esk, except the pol-clerks provided by the Police
ICCnnissioners.
Il vii be observed from the foregoing thai the De.
IuecDcy will have the csnvassing to great extent in
Ihsr hands, and past experience leaves no room
h doubt but that they will not fail TO make the best
Ip.e Of this advantage for their party interests, Toe
lps close at sundOwn the Board Of Inspectors is dis.
hOIVed al the canvass immediately begins. Section
oi the law provides that such must be con-
.pdei without any adj )unment or recess, at the
place Of poll and publicly" All persons except the
bal clerks and canvassers forbid interfering in the
esnyss, under penalty of being deemed guilty of mis-
Ideneanor Although the pro ysions of law were very
kmsr 10 the above last year. it distinctly proved
the votes ut several of the polls were then counted
ht places other than whsre the polls were held and
Instead Of an open canvass it is welknown fact that
lin some Democratic strongholds the people were posi-
lively excluded. AT one election TOO, it was pretty
well esisblihed that after returns were made by In
reetors Of the votes as eanvassed to the County
Iks Office, the returns were taken away again, re-
opposed aud altered by which means, it has been eI
tetsively chsrged Fernando Wood gained his election
Bs there seems TO be excellent provision in the ne"
Csnvssing law which may prevent such frauds in the

bm follows;
the canvass shall be made and subscrbed In public with
rIurnment the place Of election and canvass

eAssing would seem TO be impossible; but with In
speicrs and Canvassers virtually all of one party aud
ibs party not particularly glorious for the honesty
As means it uses to accomplish results, one would
badly Ike to guarantee the fairness of the issue.
TODAY is the last day the law ao VS. for the swear.
