The Intention of the Voter to Prevail.
Section so of chapter 379 of the
laws of of 1891 reads as follows:
SECTION 80. All ballots cast at any
election shall be counted for the per-
SONS for whom they were intended, SO
far as such intent can be ascertained
from the ballot itself. In determining
the intent the following rules shall be
observed: First, if the elector shall
place a cross mark or other equivalent
mark or symbol under party desig-
nation, at the head of the column, in
or near the space indicated for that
purpose, he shall be deemed to have
voted for all the candidates whose
names appear in the column under
such mark, unless some name or names
shall be erased, or pasted over, or I'M
less in some other column he shall have
placed mark opposite the name of
some other candidate for the same
office. Second, when the voter shall
place a mark against two or more
names for the same office, he shall be
deemed to have voted for none of
them, and the vote counted for none.
Third, if an elector shall mark his
ballot with cross mark, X, or any
other mark = as :, =, V, O, =, +,
indicating an intent to mark against
any name, it shall be deemed suf-
ficient vote for the candidate against
whose name the mark is made. Fourth
when the elector shall have written the
name of person in the proper place
for writing the same, he shall be
deemed to have voted for that person,
although he shall have omitted to
erase the name printed in the same
column for the same office, or shall
have made a mark against the same,
or against any other name for the
same office or omitted to mark against
the name written. Fifth, a mark
made out of its proper place, but on
name or so near it as to Indicate that
it was intended for that name, shall be
deemed a vote for that name; but if
the mark is so near space for marking
as to indicate that it was intended for
that space, it shall be deemed intended
for the name to which such space
applies Sixth, ballot put in without
any marks shall not be counted, and
ballot not marked at the top shall be
counted only for the person for whom
the marks therein are applicable.

Candidate Reid's Humbug Repentance.
The eleventh hour repentance of Can
didate Whitelaw Reid, after years spent
In fighting organized labor, is one of the
most comic features of the present cam
paign. For years his Tribune had been
strictly nonunion Office, and it was
only after his nomination at MINNEAPOLIS
that he made terms with the organized
typographers.
Meanwhile his belated conversion is
not deceiying anybody, and least of
all the printers. A Cleveland printers
league, with over 1000 signatures, has
been organized in New York city, and
has adopted the following resolution:
Resolved. That we look on any recognition
given labor by Whitelaw Reid under extreme
pressure of political expedency as an insult to
hnionism when used as bait for votes.
Reds repentance fits In well with the
general humbug character of modern
Republicanism. His insincerity is shown
by the fact-known to those who get in
formation from behind the scenes in the
New York Tribune office-that the non.
union printers whom Reid pretended to
discharge when he made his peace with
the typographical union are actually
still upon his payrolls, to be reinstated
immediately after the election.
Down with the humbug candidate!

with very poor success. Hearing so

dence | can offer for this remarkable
preparation is that it has cured me
perfectly, and I have gained twenty
