Doran, Charles Roper, D. H. Tiernev, Edward J. Finn, c. c. Chambers, Emmons Chipman and John Hurley.
 The proposition to prepare new forms of official blanks for ballots for the coming elections cannot be carried out because of a requirement. of the secret ballot law that the secretary of state must designate the form of the ballots at least sixty days preceding an election, The ballots and envelopes, of the style heretofore used are now being shipped to the clerks of the various towns. Chief Clerk Hinman of the secretary's office is preparing new forms to be filled out by the presiding officers of the cleo tions in the several towns. These
 blanks are identical with the old blanks, excepting that more specific informa- tion is required as to rejected ballots.
 The democratic town committee held a meeting last evening and appointed a committee of twenty to make a house. to-house canvass. The wards have been divided into districts. Applications to

 bers of the committee, to the registrar or to James l.. Duncan at democratic head, quarters.
