Tissue Ballots and How to Detect
Them.

inspectors of the election must exercise
all their vigilance in preventing fraud.
There is reason to believe that the Radi-
Gals will resort to their old trick of Snug
Cling ''tissue ballots into the box, and
if they do the effort may be turned to
their injury, for when two ballots are
found folded together the law requires
that both shall be destroyed. Our cor
respondent "Twice Week" has been
giving the matter some attention and we
print the following directions to be OBJ
served by inspectors from advanced
sheets of his letter for Fridays paper:
HOW TO DEFEAT THE FRAUD
These tissue paper ballots will be carefully
folded up inside of regular tickets so not to be
SEEN yet so loose that the least shake of the bal
lot-box will separate them and they tdH singty
among the other ballots in the box, and, of course
the ballot cannot be traced and therefore Is
counted.
No,o, pay particular attention to my Instructions
and you soiH etect,tally defeat the fraud. When
the inspector receives a ballot, natter from
sot0m but from each and every voter, let him
place the ballot firmly between the thumb and
forefnger of each hand and squeeze il tight, and
at the same time give tile ballot tscist; by 81
doing you fasten the ticket containing the little
joker so firmly that they will not separate after
being deposited in the ballot box, and will, when
counted out, he found In the same condition as
put in, and of course will not be counted phen
found fr0ssdulent but both ballots will be thrown
out by the canvasseIs.
1t is very important To make the detection com
plete and no fear Of failure that the party who
takes the ballot out of the box when counting
out, takes out each ticket gently and carefully 30
as not to cause separation by rough handling
when doing so.

speciors will make them perfect. Nuke no dis

After all it seems the recent election
in Indiana may prove to be null and void.
The election was held under the decision
of the State Supreme Court that the
amendment by which the election was
postponed to November was imperative;
but it is now asserted that the court
would, if the case were again presented,
reverse its decision. In reference to this
matter Mr.. John w, Butler, the lsepubli-
can law partner of Senator Mcdonald. is
quoted - saying; " 1t is well understood
that should the recent decision of the
court overthrowing these amendments
ever come before Judges Elliott and
Woods they would join Judge Niblack in
reversing it. Suppose, then, that after
going upon the bench new case is
brought before them and the decision re-
versed, it would at once render void the
election in October. In other words, an
election in October will be legal only so
long rs the decision remains, so that
whenever the latter is reversed the cleo
ton authorized by it becomes illegal and
void. This would necessarily terminate
the official career Of all officers elected at
that time; or, to state it differently, by
their own decision Judges Elliott and
Woods would Dust themselves from Office,
together with others elected in October.
This would be most singular and ludi-
crous~ position for all concerned, and to
avoiditthel only safety for the Republi-
cans lies IN repeating the October election
in Novembe. Several of the foremost
lawyers Ia the city have taken the mat
ter under adviscment, and il is not un-
likely that convention of lawyers, ire.

Conover was four and d half years
State Treasurer and six years Senator
in Congress. During this period Of ten
and half years Of so-called public ser-
vices, there is nothing by which he will
be remembered except the " irregulari-
ties" Comptroller Cowgirl detected in the
books of the State Treasury. Some Of
these relate to the receipt and payment
of i" blue scrip" to the amount of elS, 900,
the entry of payment of s4e5.s2 on .
warrant which called for only @26l.6O, by
which somebody made $2o6.22 and the
State swindled ont of that amount. The
"blue scrip" aud this transaction was
fraud on the State of $ls,7eO.2s.-Ses
COsCgiH's Report Of 1875.
In the Senate he said nothing and did
nothing, that the public knows Of, from
which he will be remembered bat since
this campaign opened he has said some
things which will not be forgotten. These
relate to the character of some of the
men who are candidates like himself for
public favor. OF Bisbee, he bears this
testimony:
"Bisbee will be beaten, and am glad
of it; he is the worst man | ever knew
a much worse man than Hicks" Hicks
bleats out everything; Bisbee carries it
in his heart, and is at heart much more
bitter and vindictive man, and the most
thoroughly selfish man 1 ever knew. -
Cononer ia public ieter0iesc IN IdlId-
h0sSee, Oct. 9.
And of Ledwith, his associate on the
same ticket, he says:
"The Democrats can buy up Ledwith
easily enough; he is always ready to sell
out to the highest bidder, as his whole po-
litical course shows. In fact, l doubt very
much if Ledwith will even vote the Re
publican ticket. "-COnorer u, public
interuie,o in Tallahassee October +.
Is not this an illustrious trio? Bisbee
the embodiment of vindictive hate and
sel6shness =" the worst man he ever
knew" and Conover has known some
gerry bad men in his day. He knew "Old
Patterson" of South Carolina, who in
sisted, after the State had been thoroughly
Quilted and robbed, that there were 6 sew
eral years more good stealing there ;
but Bisbee il "worse man than Pat
terson, while Hicks is an angel in com
parison. Ledaoith, Conover says, is al
corrupt as they make them; always ready
to sell out to the highest bidder; ani
Conover knows how it is himself, some
uncharitable people going so far as to say
that he offered to sell out to the Demo
Gratis in 1876, and Bro. Sawyer charges
that he scas paid to get out of the way o
Stearns then, after the Democrats refused
to trade
