A ridiculous story gained currency here
since the election that the ballot box was
smashed during a row at the polls in Old

An exchange very sensibly says: News
paper subscribers who are in arrears should
bear in mind that a dun is not an impeach-
ment of their integrity, but simply an out
cropping of a publishers necessity. For
instance a thousand men owe him from one
to four dollars each. 1t is a small amount
to each individual, but to him the aggre-
gate is large. Instead Of becoming indig-
nant because the publisher asks for his
honest dues the delinquent subscriber
should be grateful to him for waiting 50
patiently, and pay up like a man.
A very cunning device Of the opposition
on election day was to print tickets in close
resemblance to the Prohibition ticket, even
to the date 1886 at the top, but with Whit
aker's name in the place of Seagravc for
Assembly in the same type. These were
laid on the table in the North Ward along
side the regular tickets. and were well cal
culated to deceive the unwary voter. The
returns, however. would indicate that this
game did not work very effectually. All
the split tickets we awe ever seen hereto
fore have had the name of the substituted
candidate made prominent with different
type, but this campaign gives the Prohibi-
tionists a pointer which it will be well
enough for them to watch in the future.
