NEW ELECTION LAW !
THE BALLOT LAW AMENDED.

The legislature has passed the bill
amending the Australian ballot law so
that it does not apply to townships at
the spring election. AS 1t does not re-
enact the old statute, there is no law
now governing township elections. 1t
is proposed to enact a law to meet the
case in time for the approaching elec-
tions but such tampering with the law
on the eve ofan election is certainly
dangerous, and clearly shows the
makeup of the prese mt legislature.
The law was too democratic for the
republican bosses and before ithey get
through with 1t, no one will recognize
the law or its several ballot provisions.
Following is the amendment:
Section /. Be it enacted by the gen.
eral assembly Of the state of Ohio,
That section of an act entitled "An
act to provide for the mode of con-
Quoting elections, to insure the se-
crecy of the ballot and prevent fraud
and intimidation at the polls, and to
repeal certain statutes therein named''
passed April 80, 1891, o. L. v. SS, p.
449, be and the same is hereby amend
ed to read as follows.
Section l. That hereafter election OF
all public officers in the state of Ohio
shall be conducted in accordance with
the provisions of this act; except, how
ever, April and all special elections
for township (including justices of the
peace), and municipal officers of ham
lets and villages not divided into wards,
whose population by the last federal
census was less than $500, and muni-
cipalities situate in two or more coun-
ties, elections for school directors, sub
district directors, and members OF
school boards and boards of education
in township, special and village .hool
districts, when such villages have q
population by the last federal census OF
less than $500, and are not divided in
to wards, and the submission of all
questions to be voted upon at such
April and special elections, shall be
exempt from the operations of the
provisions of this act, and notice of
such elections, the manner of holding
the same, the returns thereof, and the
canvass of such returns shall be given,
held, and made as required by law.
Sec. 2. That said original section
No. is hereby repealed; and this act
shall take effect on its passage.

STATISTICS show that during the
year 1891 about 5000 murders were
committed in the United States. In
1890 the number of murders was 4,38l,
and In 1889, 1880. On the other hand
the legal executions, as opposed to
5000 murders were only 1923; while
there were 1855 persons lynched or exc
cuted by mobs. Stepping from the
realms of murder to those of suicide,
we find that during 1891 1881 persons
committed self-destruction. OF these
2,640 were males and 6S1 female. BY
shooting 1,2OS departed, S6l took the
poison route, 465 hanged themselves,
302 went by drowning, and 226 cut
their throats. Out Of the grand total
of 1881 suicides for last year, 1,l49
were attributed to dependency, 449 to
insanity, 22O to domestic infelicity. 25l
to liquor. 1876 to disappointed love, 1876
to Ill health, 81 to business failures,
and sol are classified as unknown.
The list includes % physicians. IL cler.
gymen, 4 judges, 8 professors and 8
journalists.

DEMOCRATS should steer clear OF
those fellows who hang around the
street corners all day at election time,
and when asked to vote invariably re-
ply with whine, "No I hav MT voted
yet; no hurry as know ont" Such
cattle are not democrats. When they
talk thus they simply mean that they
are ready to vote. hurry or no hurry
as soon as somebody comes down with
the stuff-anything from quarter
up. Such low business is foreign tc
democratic principles. 1t is engaged
in only by renegade republicans. Give
them an icy go-by. We can get along
without them. We have enough hon
est democrats to elect the ticket. Gel
out this vote and the day will always
be ours.
