The election held in Rhode Island, yes
terday, was held under the Australian
system very slightly modified. Many old
voters were disfranchised because they
could not read. The ballots were printed
on big sheets of paper with the names of
the candidates arranged in four columns.
1t required ballot boxes the size of large
dry goods cases to contain them. 1t will
take IL person an hour to count sixty
votes.
Consequently it will be impossible to
announce the result in the State until
twenty-four hours after the polls are
closed. Full returns from fourteen towns
and eight districts, including none of the
cities, give Ladd (Rep.), for Governor.
2,2T0; Davis (Dem.), 2,196. Last year the
same districts gave Ladd 1,5SS and Davis
2.422; Ladd is probably elected.
