DOMINION ELECTION LAw.-The new Do.
minion election law, which goes into effect en-
the first OF July, is a complicated piece of ma
chinery designed to ensure the purity of the
ballot, and to prevent bribery and corruption at
elections. The property qualification for candi-
dates is abolished and any one who is a British
subject and twenty-one years Of age, if untaint-
ed with crime, will be eligible to be a rep
resentative Public nominations are abolished,
instead of which written notice must be CIV
en-, accompanied with the consent of the can
didate. The voting will be by ballot and, to
prevent intimidation, in each of the polling
places will be private booths whittier the cleo
tor can retire and mark on list of candidates
furnished him cross against the name of his
choice, put the paper into an envelope and
hand it to the deputy-returnng officer who will
deposit it in the box. The bill contains very
stringent provisions to prevent bribery OF cor
ruption in any form Any candidate or per-
son for him who furnishes an eector with
drink or refreshment is liable to three months
Imprisonment. The sale of liquor on polling
days is absolutely prohibited. The gift Of
money to an elector by candidate or the
promise of any emolument or the hiring of
teams or payment of railway fares is strictly
prohibited. Any candidate proved guilty Of
corrupt practices will be unseated if elected
and any persons other than candidates who are
found guilty of corrupt practices will be dis
franchised for eight years. No person en-
ployed previous to an election or during it for
any pecuniary reward or promise of personal
gain or advantage is to be allowed to vote.

We have carfully examined the
election returns from different parts
of the State, and we arrive at the
same conclusion that a correspond
ent Of the Inter Ocean does, below,
that there is much to encourage
the advocates of temperance, in the
out look presented by the results of
the election. The remark he makes
Of our city going into the hands
Of the democracy, and. ergo, whisky,
we do not concur in. In the First
Ward, John Peterson, independent
Democrat, beat the pronounced
whisky candidate-so that OH the
question of temperance, HE would
feel it his duty to act Independent
OF his party, if n majority of his
fellow members took the whisky
shoot; but we do not believe that
any legislation detrimental to the
temperance cause could possibly
pass our council, even as it is con
stsituted, with all the appliances
that might be brought to bear by
the ''whisky ring" #
At Richmond, for instance, a city
which has always been regarded among
the most temperate in the State, and
boasts Of being the home of the Hon.
William Baxter, the author Of the
celebrated Baxter liquor law, the
Democrats gain one councilman and
thus get control of municipal affairs.
At Muncie, town of 4 900 OF 5, 600 in
habitants, on the Bee Line" Rail-
way, sixty miles east of this city, the
anti-crusade ticket was also elected by
large majority. Heretofore the tenn
perance people have controlled both
of these places, and the defeat is sur
prise to every one. But, while free
whisky has succeeded in capturing
these temperance strongholds, the
news from other cities and towns cor
roboratcs the belief that a majority of
the people OF Indiana are beginning to
regard whisky selling and drinking a
crime, and are determined to control
them by proper legislation. Craw.
louisville, Goshen, Wabash, Madison,
Bloomington, Anderson, Franklin,
New Albany, and scores Of other
towns, have planted themselves en-
phatically on the side of temperance.
Many OF these places have heretofore
been Democratic, and if the present
change means anything, it is that the
temperance people are mighty and will
prevail.
Apropos to this showing are few
facts recently gathered by q clerk in
the Office of the Secretary of State, in
regard to the number of petitions fled
for liquor permits" and the number
granted and rejected at the March
term Of the Commissioners Court.
Ninety one counties were heard from.
In thirty Of them no petitions were
tiled, and III twenty one Others all that
were filed were defeated In the re-
naming forty counties III petitions
were granted out of 80 applied for.
Considering the fact that the March
term OF the Commissioners Court has
heretofore been principally devoted to
the granting Of liquor licenses in near
ly all the counties in the State, this
showing is a very significant one. AT
all events the temperance people of
Indiana have no cause to feel discour-
