PROPOSED CHANGE IN COUNTING
ELECTION BALLOTS.

\ proposition is advanced in San Fran
cisco to have the Legislature so amend the
election laws that the ballot-boxes in that
city may be replaced every hour while an
election is in progress, by empty ones. The
Others are to be taken to central station,
where the counting shall proceed through
out the day, and every hour the result
of the count be posted for public inspec-
ton.
There are two emphatic and insur-
mountable objections to the plan suggested
1t would in large degree destroy that
secrecy of the ballot that is so essential to
its honest casting anI counting. It would
enable the vicious politicians TO locate the
weak spots for their side and to resort to
any means TO strengthen them. This lat
ter objection appears to Us to be sufficient
in itself to defeat the proposition. To put
it in the power of any one to know the
state of the vote from hour to hour would
be worse than the old system, when uni
to break up which the Legislature pro-
vided that all ballot-paper should be of
given tint, cut to given size,
and the tickets be all folded alike.
Another objection is the enormous cost the
plan would involve. 1t is very true that
the delay in ascertaining results is very
ANNOYING, and it has never been more SO
than at the present time 1t is true also
that clerks of election become 50 wearied
that they are scarcely able to tally the
calls of the ballots properly. But these
evils can be overcome by slightly increas-
ing the clerical forces and by providing
RELAYS of judges and inspectors. ANY
movement in the direction of ascertaining
the partisan progress of the vote before
the polls close must be looked upon with
suspicion. 1t certainly would be availed
of by the bosses and strikers and the po-
litical wire-pullers to further disreputable
