Excitement over Plan to Nullify the
Australian Ballot.
INDIANAPOLIS, IND, Oct. l.-Excitement
has been caused in local political circles by
the development of q plan to nullify the
Australian ballot law, although the ex"
pected decision of the supreme court de-
caring the legislative apportionnento of 1885
unconstitutional has not been made yet. 1t
is said that as soon as the court decides
the apportionment act void, suit will
bs filed to set aside the Australian ballot law
on the ground that the legislature OF 1889,
by which the law was enacted and which
ives elected under the spportlonment of
1885, was an illegal body under the courts
decision. II the apporuOnment suit now
pending related only TO the act Of 1891, no
such question could be raised, for no lezisla-
ture hos been elected under its provision,
but three sessions Of the legislature were
held under this act Of 1885, and il these
we're unconstitutional bodies every act
which they passed can be nullifed.
