NEW BALLOT PROTECTOR.
A Device for the Prevention OF
Fraud as Elections.


Steuben L. Bacon, of this city. has.
after four years of experiment, succeeded
in the completion of a ballot box which
he claims is proof against all attempts AZ
illegal voting. counting, or tabulating.
and, in its workings, defes any stufin0.
repeating, or unlawful pers0nation 81
elections. The essential parts of the In
vention are a long q Ushaped hook, on
which the ballots are strung on being
voted, and an enumerating apparatus
which strikes gong and turns up a new
number every time ballot IS put on the
hook. One erd of this hook projects
through the ballot slide, on which the
ballot is placed. Each ballot, when
voted, is placed on the projecting point
of the hook, and covered by metallic
washer. BY pulling open the slide the
ballot and washer fall into the box,
where they remain strung on the hook,
and the ballot cannot be removed ex-
cept by considerable force, and, even
should it be removed, the washer
enumerator and checked names remain
as tell-tales, and at once indicate that
fraud has been committed. The same
movement of the slide that drops the
ballot in the box also rings the bell, and
causes change of numbers on the dial
of the enumerator By an ingenious de-
vice the slide is so arranged that in vot-
ing there is 70 aperture in the box, and.
consequently no stealing or stuffiing can
be,done. When one of the hooks is full
of ballots wire is run through the holes
at each end and secured by a lead seal
similar to those in use by the govern
ment, and the hook can then be removed
and an empty one substituted for it. In
canvassing the votes they are not re-
moved from the hook, but simply slid
around and counted. After the canvass
is completed the box is sealed again, and,
with the votes and the washers on the
hooks inside, kept for length of time
to admit of the rectification of any mis-
takes. The box is to be sealed when
brought to the polls. as is also the regis
tering apparatus. These seals are sup
posed to have written on them the names
of the parties placing them there, and
are not to be broken, except by city or
town officials after election.

crowd, was generally regarded as swindle,
and after 1t closed DR.. r. v. Barksdale, a
