VOTING BY MACHINERY.

The chief o~bJectlon, anu IL rs
grave one, against the Australian
ballot system is the time and labor
involved in picking out the names
of candidates of a particular party
from the cumbrous and nnclassi>
fed official ballot, and checking
off the voters preference. The
process of sorting and counting
the returns after the polls are
closed Is another long, vexatious
and unreliable performance. Be-
tween the two, the liability of the
voter to make mistakes, and the al
most certainty of the election OIL
GERS to do so, the Australian sys>
tenn cannot be a marked success.
Happily a device has been found
to lessen the labors of both citi-
zen and supervisor, and, what is
even more important, to prevent
error or fraud altogether in the
final count.
The Meyers voting machine was
put to practical experiment, for the
first time, at Lockport, n. Y, on
the 18th instant, in the town
meeting, and proved to be a coms
plete success The machine is too
intricate to be understood without
personal inspection or elaborate
diagrams. 1t may be generally
described as constructed on the
principles Of a cash-registering ma
chine. On its face are a number
of buttons, the name of a candidate
being marked aboYe each. The
voter presses the button marked
with the name for which he wishes
to vote, whereupon the machine
Immediately records that name, at
the same locking all the buttons
representing candidates for the
same office !; so that it is impossible
TO vote more than once, or for
more than one person, for any Of
flee. When the voter leaves the
booth and closes the door behind
him, but not until then, the ma
chine automatically releases all the
buttons and IS ready for the next
voter.
Twenty candidates were voted
for at the Lockport election. The
slowest voter took two minutes.
and the quickest nine seconds, to
record his ballot. The average
time consumed was about fifteen
seconds. The result of the cleo
ton was known in ten minutes
after the last man had cast his
vote; for the machine had recorded
and added up the total for each
candidate as the votes were cast
This recording and adding, Q.
course, were carried on within
the machine and hidden from al
outside observation. At the same
time an index on the face of thu
machine, visible to everybody, reg
istered the total number of vote
cast, but not their political char
acter.
The Meyers machine is not going
to purify the polls all at once. l

those in the late Rhode Islant

of the result; she will be found in the
Democratic column, as usual. The cam

Populites and Prohibitionists have made
more noise than the old parties; but
then, you know, "an empty vessel

HUGH HAYES HELD TO ANSWER.
Chief Supervisor Flint Pre-
pared for Friday.
Precinct Supervisors Will Be Pro
vided With Warrants.
Proceedings Yesterday in the Various
Tribunals-Court Notes-New
Suits Filed - Marriage
Licenses.

Hugh Hayes, the auburn haired, who
is accused of registering twice as black
haired voter, had his examination be-
tore United States Commissioner Van
Dyke yesterday morning.
The testimony was somewhat con-
flicting but the commissioner decided to
hold the defendant for trial and fixed
his bail at 5000, which he was unable to
give.
Detective A. B. Lawson and George
Brown, one OF his employees, testified as
to admissions made to them by Hayes
in the office of the detective agency, in
which he admitted that he was going to
vote twice on election day.
The two deputy registration clerks,
George Buckingham and S. S. Sickle,
who each registered Hugh Hayes, were
put on the witness stand but could not
tell anything about the matter. They
could not recognize the red headed
prisoner as the person whom each had
registered as Hugh Hayes, and all they
knew was that each had taken the reg
istration of Hugh Hayes.
The defendant took the stand in his
own defense and said that he was not
guilty. He had not been in Los Angeles
long enough to have vote and had
never registered.
The officers feel confident that they
have strong case against Hayes, as
will be shown when he comes to trial.

where those who ought to know say
Harrison and Lindley win have at least
600 majority. At the caflon Cleveland
will have about 80 majority and here
Harrison about 40. The Populists will
poll about 80 votes here and the Pro-
hibitionists about 20. OF course these
are only estimates, but are pretty near
the results. / think it will thus leave
Harrison and Lindley about 600 major
ity, but then all, as l said before, de-
pends on the soldiers votes.
The Australian ballot law will cut no
figure here, we having gone through an
election under it last spring, and under
stand its working pretty we'll.
Betting on the results here is unusu-
ally quiet, very little money being put
up. What little there is, is on even
money. The county and local ticket
is very much mixed up. Colonel Hewitt
and Mr.. Shorb will run ahead of their
ticket considerably, while at the home
Marsh will do the same. DIR. Gates, the
Republican nominee for coroner, will
run ahead of his ticket, Santa Monica
being his home, and the doctor is pretty
we'll liked here.
Ordinarily the entire local Republican
tlcKeC Woulu De elected, Dut one or TWO
of the names on the Democratic ticket
will poll strong vote. Especially il
this the case with James Collins, who is
running for constable. He has lived
here long time and is very popular
both at the home and here.

talking and guessing, some claiming the

cupied, and many were seated on the

Watch Hackett, Mr.. President.

The secret circular sent out by Chair
man Hackett, of the New York Repub-
ican state committee, which looks de-
cidedly like an attempt to work Dudley's
"blocks of five" game in New York,
moves the Springfield (Mass.) Republican
to offer the following warning to Presi-
dent Harrison: "Mr. Harrison perhaps
is not responsible for Hackett's doings,
but he must be aware of the scandalous
direction in which his campaign is being
moved, and he can put stop to it if he
will He knows that with the enormous
sums of money fried out of the protected
manufacturers in 1888, more was done
to debauch the franchise and undermine
the foundation of free government
than can repeatedly be endured with
any safety TO the nation. President
Harrison cannot afford again to be an
accessory, before or after the fact, in
such crime against government and
society as was openly committed by the
Republican managers and openly boasted
of by them in 1885"

A new wordl You haveI t heard of 1t before
1t designates the latest mode OF beautifying the
skin. Bleaches have been the rage, but they
arr going out. The process is too severe. True,
the acid eats off the rougher outer cuticle, and
for short while exposes the more delicate skin
beneath, but it in turn becomes harsh, and you
are in a worse fix than before, unless more
bleaching acid ia used, and to continue it in
definitely would destroy the finest skin in the
world. Thus face beaches are waning, and In
five years more will be hardly known.
Now about "face ironing" Unlike bleaches,
the process employs no acids, using only cool
ing vegetable constituents that act the reverse
from acids, in that they are instantaneous and
actually healing to the skin. These are placed
upon the face in semi-liquid form, drying in
about twenty minutes. The drying process
causes them to absorb blackheads. perspiratiOn
and the greasy exudations from the pores A
system of geutle face massage ten removes
all, and under the influence of cooling and
healing lotions the skin comes out yelvety and
transparent. We have given The name "face-
ironing" to this new treatment. Unlike acid
bleacnes that destroy "face-ironing" preserves,
and quite unlike slow corrosive bleaches the
effect is instantaneous We will create the
most perfect com plexion you ever had in thirty
minutes. The effect is complete before you

Chief Supervisor Flint and Illegal Reg
istratiOns.
1t was learned yesterday afternoon
that Chief Supervisor of Elections
Frank P. Flint has been active in the
matter of preparing for the arrest of a
large number of persons who have been
reported to him as illegally registered,
in case they attempt to vote today.
Over 200 warrants have been pla ced
in the hands OF precinct supervisors,
and should any of the persons whose
names appear thereon show up at the
polls with an Australian ballot they will
be promptly arrested and taken to Jail.
The supervisors have received explicit
instructions, and it will be dangerous
thing for anyone to monkey with the
United States court by attempting
crooked voting.
1t is again suggested by Mr.. Flint that
voters should carefully inspect the great
register before attempting to vote to see
that they are properly on the book.
