ONCE FOR EVERY BOX.
Voters May Go TO the Polls in New York
state as Many Times as There Are Boxes
and Throw Each Ticket Separately.

and Throw Each Ticket Separately.
ALBANY, Oca 2I.-In response TO the right
Of a voter TO vote different tickets at differ
ent times, Attorney General Tabor has the
following to say 20 Timothy Perry, Esq,
president Of the Brooklyn board OF elections;
beg have 10 state that YOU are correctly
informed that an official opinion has becn
given by me in reference 10 the right of a
vo'er en- election day, instead OF voting all
the tcket at once, to come to the polls at diff
feleut times, where there are more than one
box While this is true, and is the law, as
understand il, still it is subject, Of course, to
qualification. For example: The statute
provides that the board Of inspectors shall
posses, fun authority 20 maintain order and
regularity, and to enforce obedience TO their
lawful commands during an election and
during the canvass and estimate Of votes
after the closing OF the polls, aud shall have
full authority to preserve peace and good
order at and around the polls of the election,
and to keep the access thereto open and un-
ohstructed, and may appoint one or more
electors to communicate their orders and in
sirucuOns, and 20 assist in the performance
Of the duties in this section enioined.
Ii any person shall refuse 10 obey the law
ful commands Of the inspectors, or by dis
orderly conduct in their presence or hearing
shall interrupt or disturb their proceedings.
they may make an order directing the sheriff
er any constable Of the county 10 take tue
person SO offending into custody and dctain
aim until the final canvass of the votes shall
lc completed, but such order shall not pro-
hbit the person So taken into custody from
voting at such election. While therefore. il
is true that person may vote az different
times for different candidates, where there
are different boxes, such right is subject to
al honest and fair exercise thereof. and ii il
S attempted by any voter to use such right
rs to make il apparent TINT Il Is for the pur
pose OF hindering or delaying other voters, o.
IN any way defeating an honest, fair reason
I able and orderly conduct OF the election. il
would be IN the power of the inspectors Il
notify such person to exhaust his right a
once, and upon his failure to do so 70 oidei
his removal from the polling place. II sucl
order be necessary in their Judgment tomain
tain the regularity, peace ana good order a
and around the polls, and the access theret,
/ open and unobstrueted.

Vention Last Evening.
New YORK, Oct 24-All the interest o.
the convention of the Womens Christian
Temperance union was centered in the meet
ing last night. The Metropolitan Opera
house was crowded in every part, and all
awaited with fierce anxiety the result Of the
debate on the resolution relating to the stanc
the union would take in politics.
The union favors the Prohibition party
and the proposed resolution which was &C
cause all the trouble was as follows:
Resolved, That we reafirm our allegiance tc
that party which makes its dominant issue the
suppression OF the liquor traffic, declares its be
lief In Almighty God as the source of all powe
in government, defends the sanctlty Of the Sab
bath, recognizes equal suffrage and equal wages
for women, demands the abolition Of pOlygamy
and uniform laws governing marriage and dt
vorce, aud aims to remove sectional differences
promote national unity and insure the besi
welfare Of our land
Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, Of Iowa. had a mo
mortal to present protesting against this reso-
luton, the seventh's of the unions platform
as reported by the committee on resolutions.
She wished that the union should declare
that it was non-political and non partisan in
every way. Her enemies insinuated that she
was working in the interests of the Republi-
can party.
She and her followers were prepared for o
hard fight, while her opponents were deter
mined that the memorial should be sup.
pressed Besides the delegates, the audienco
was also greatly excited over what it knew
was coming.
The debate which followed fully realized
all expectations. Soms pretty strong
charges ware passed between Mrs. Foster
and Miss West, editress of The Union Signal.
All the leading lights in the convention took
part in the debate, including President VII
lard, who left the chair for that purpose.
Long papers were read supporting the claims
of Mrs. Foster and Miss West, and the final
vote mdorsed Miss Vests action 10y 2j3 to 10
