In most of the election districts OF this city, each
voter when he presents himself to the election IN
spectors will receive from six 10 eight official ballots,
from which he select the ballot having upon 1t the
names of the candidates for whom he wishes to vote.
In some of the districts the voter will receive as many
~ sixteen separate OF ballots This Is due to the
large number Independent candidates who are in the
field and who have had their names put upon the
ballots of party the other and In some instances
upon TIE tickets OF both parties. BY this time, no
doubt. nearly every voter in Ncwfork understands
the course to be pursued in voting under the new
law but those who desire TO refresh their memories
upon election morning The Tribune publishes again the
principal things for a voter to do

names of the candidates OF his choice. IL you are not
familiar with them, look at The Tribune Of day, and
the names OF all the Republican candidates for Con
gress the Assembly. the Board of Aldermen and for
Civil Justice In each of the districts will be found.
This list should be consulted by all voters who are not
absolutely certain that they know the names Of the
Republican candidates In the various districts. IL
would be well aIso to copy of the names upon slip
OF paper and take the slip into the BOOTH 50 that
the names on the official ballot can be compared with
the names upon the slip This may prevent good
Republican from voting for a Democrat. Exceptional
care must be taken that the names of the cand
dates for Congress, Assembly, Alderman and Civil
Justice on the Official ballot are correct Do not
