two since, that it probably would
not at present be prudent for skilled

ployed a year ago at 50 pef day, are
now glad to get $1.50. So great

Fraudulent Tickets-Is an Election

by their use Legal.
Several weeks before the election
we published the new 'Huston" elec-
tion law, designed to preserve the
purity Of the elections, and every lot
of tickets issued from this Office was
made to conform strictly to the re-
quirements of the law. Not so with
those issued from the Office of our
contemporary. That law requires
that there shall be "space not less
than one-fifth of an inch between
each name" on the ticket. The At
torney General having been interro-
gated in regard to the meaning of
this provision, gave the following as
its legal character:
To render the phrase "between
each name," as used in the act, into
good English, and still preserve the
exact meanig, read beloso for 6etaOeen.
The evident object Of the space re-
quired to be left below each name on
the ballots is to enable the elector to
write any name he may desire to in
the place Of the printed one.
The tickets issued from this Office
we're, as before stated, made to con-
form strictly to this law passed by a
Democratic" Legislature. Not SO
with those issued from the Office OF
our contemporary, and voted by the
Democracy. After or below the name

After or below the name of ]. P.

witness the same result. Norwalk
gives 474 majority in favor of free
whisky. Cincinnati goes largely
Democratic, for although both par
ties had 'license" platforms, 6he
Democracy we're regarded most reli-
able on that. In fact the triumphs,
where temperance was made the is
sue, have been confined to the small
Ter localities, while even in these, at
Washington Court House, where
the crusade originated, and at other
points the whisky men are reported
to have triumphed. The exhibit is
not a satisfactory one, and if the
