pUTIEs OF VOTERS AND OFFICERS AT
THE POLLS.

Voters and officers before going to the
polls shouldacquaint themselves as well as
possible wiihthe Kramer Of conducting the
Election. The officers viii Of course have
the election laws at hand and will consult
them whenever in doubt as to Their duty.
It will not he forgotten that the election
which takes place next Tuesday week,
November 9th, is General Election. and
that persons are to be voted for to fill the
following Offices: Electors Of President
and Vice President, member Of Congress
county officers and members Of tssen ~.
The elections are conducted by the SITTER
visors Of the several owns, who act as In
spectors, the Chairman of the 30 I'd act
ing as Chairman Of Inspectors, and the
Town Clerks Of their respective towns,
aided by an appontee of the Inspectors,
acting as clerks Of the polls. If the SUI
pervisors or part Of them are absent. In
spectors can be chosen by the voters pres
ent, to fill their places. These persons
have to take an oath of Office, which oat
must be annexed to and returned with the
poll books to The Clerk of the Board Of
Supervisors. The polls open at o'clock,
a. o,,l ,I1,a - r,,,Jatr, Tie pop,ac
of Ill persons voted for must be written or
printed on one ballot; If more than a
proper number are voted for, the whole
will be thrown out. AS soon as the polls
are closed the Inspectors proceed to canvass
the votes publicly, and are rot allowed to
adjourn until the count is completed. They
are required TO draw up statement Of the
result in writing, setting forth at length the
whole number Of votes given for each Of
flee, the names of the persons for whom
given, and the number Of votes fer each
person, and must make duplicate thereof
This statement and duplicate they must
certify to and sign. in the making out,
signing and delivering Of these statements
most Of the blunders are committed which
cause the throwing cut Of votes, Tie
names of persons voted for are fralrently
written wrong on some of the returns, and
then they are counted in the county canvass
as for different persons; and sometimes the
statements are not correctly certified to,
signed and delivered as they should be, one
to the town clerk and the other carefully
enclosed, sealed up, directed TO the Clerk Of
Board of Supervisors and delivered to the
Chairman or other officer aho shall attend
the annual meeting Of County Board, and
who is required to deliver the same to the
Clerk within seven d5ayr
BY following the law closely, and care
fully comparing names and votes, We may
be saved the modification of having some
Of the votes thrown ont and in some in
stances the choice Of the people defeated.
If returns SO far as Grant County is cen
rerned. are made out correctly and accu-
rately Until they reach the county canvass
there is little risk thereafter.
