THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYSTEM.
Voting under the Australian ballot law will be
inaugurated here Tuesday, and TO make pro-
vision for the same the county commissioners
have had the necessary booths erected at the
places Of voting in the several election distrcts
At this place the large grand jury room in the
court house will be used for the purpose.
This room has two doors, and one will
be used for the entrance Of voters and the
other for their egress. substantial railing
with two gates has been erected and behind
this will be stationed the judges and clerks Of
election. The booths are also within the rail-
ing and next to the wall, so that the voter can
mark his ticket without being observed from
the outside. No other persons will be allowed
inside the railing except the judges and clerks
and the voters as they pass in and out 1t is
thought that the voting will progress
as fast usual under the old system
