POPULAR ELECTIONS have become so
fraudulent in this country that an imme-

for the maintenance ofthe obi cots for when

human nature remains as it is men Will sell
;beir votes and as long as they continue 10
do so there will BIO men who will buy tnem
so that it is Impossible to stop that SORT Oh
Trade But there are means at hand oy
which not only the trade referred to, but
other fraudulent voting can be reduced TO
the smallest possible limits, and they are u
repeel of the ballot system and return 10
TINT of viva voce, and an annual reeislra-
tration, when the voter shall be given GER

means are easy, and should be availed OF at

THE PREVAILING impression about the re-
suit of to.day's election is that it will be
close. Figuring upon elections is always
more definite when done after, than before
the result has been announced but, for all
that, many discerning men dou't agree with
the prevailing impression referred to, and
are convinced that the contest will not only
be pronounced, hut decisive to the defeated
party. However, as everybody will know
the result tomorrow it would ne foolish to
waste words about it now.
