Indl,na Election Law UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

INDIANAPoLIS, October 9.-ln an
opinion handed down here in the Su-
preme Court, it is decided that section
i3 of the Australian election law passed
bv the last Legislature is unconstitution-
al The judges agree that the LegiS-
lature cannot add to the qualifications
of voters. and that the provisions re-
quirlng 90 days residence IN the county
and that voters shall be taxpayers are
unconstitutional and void. In the
opinion, written by Judge OldS, it is
held that under the constitution the
Legislature may pass general registry
law. but cannot pass partial one; that
the Legislature cannot require longer
residence than that prescribed by the
constitution: that section 10 is partial
registry law and that it does add to the
constitutional requirements of voters.

MANNINGToN, w. VA, October @
General Goif was advertised to speak
here this afternoon. but owing TO the
train being late he did not arrive until
about > o'clock. The crowd and recep-
tion he received must certainly be Il
great disappointment to him. There
were but few farmers in town,
and they became impatient wait
ing and went home. When GoiT got of
the train there seemed to be no one to
receive him. Finally Senator Furbec
came to the rescue and then a few 9th
ers of tie faithful gathered around him.
\ cOlorcd man who was standing near
shouted for GofI, but it received no re-
SponSe from the crowd. Evidently
COTS power, and especially in the Sec
ond district, where ElkinS has the in
side track, is on the wane.

CoLUMBUS. O., October Q. - Lewis
Bernard. well known as the lieutenant
and political manager of John K. Me
Lean, Of the Enquirer, was in this city
last night and held a consultation with
George B. Okey and the managers of the
campaign, with view to defeating the
proposition TO abolish the Cincinnati
Board of Public improvements. He
proposes that riders be tackled onto the
bill embracing that idea, aboliShing all
such municipal boards wherever they
have been created in the State. This,
he thinks, will drive Democratic mem
bers from the districts affected to op-
pose the Omnibus bill, aud so accom-
pliSh its defeat. This, it is claimed,
will bring Democrats to their senses and
make them realize, according to Ber-
nard, that they must stand together or
be defeated in this special session.

corded without the error being noticed.
