On the second counts made yeeterday

ha. lately developed strong symptoms
of Boulanger fever, the republic seats
a majority.
The General himself has been elimi
mated from the fight, but his altar ego
Henri ROchefort, was among the beaten
candidates.

THE AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM IN MoS-
TANA.-All reports from Montana con
cur i'm describing the working OF The
Australian system of ballOting as a very
Great success. The voting was done
swiftly, quietly and without confusion
or trouble of any kind. The Helena
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
telegraphs
This election was held under the
provisions of the Australian law as
adopted by the late Constitutional Con
vention. The law required the printing
of the ballots and insured the privacy
of the voter while preparing ms ticket.
There was-until to-day at least IA vast
deal of opposition to the method OF re
ristration and voting as indorsed by the
convention. The provisions Of the sta
tute as TO registering the voters VIII un-
ouestionably be- modified to some extent
and limited to the larger cities and
towns. The ideas as To tho methods OF
voting seem 10 have met with almost
general approval and Endorsement. Inc
voting booths in the most turbulent
quarters Of Helena were remarkably
auiet and free from disturbances.
There were no ticket peddleIs or other
petty annoyances. Voters were ad-
mitted singly into the presence
of the Judges and handed the
tickets. Then tho voter retired
alone into room and prepared has
ballot. The Judges of election gave as
distance in case il was asked. The
whole proceeding occupied not more
than three or four minutes, and the
voter was ushered out Of the voting
place as soon as his ballot was deposited
i'm the box. The system sympllf.s the
machinery of elections and abollshe'
some of the most Objectionable features
of that in general use-io-wlt. the ticket
