Although the Australian ballot law
has been in force in the State nearly
five years, there are still many persons
who are not acquainted with it's provi-
sions in regard to the manner of voting.
At every general election that has been
held under the law a large number Of
ballots have been rejected because they
were improperly prepared, n 1T is a
matter Of local knowledge that not a
few Of these rejected ballots were de-
posted by persons who, from their gen.
eral intelligence. would be supposed to
know all about the manner of voting
Again, there is at every election a con-
siderable number of first voters. young
men who have not read the law and
who are somewhat timid about asking
for information. Republican managers
in every precinct throughout the State
should make a point Of seeing that sam
pie ballots are well distributed, and that
no Republican voter, old or young, Is
left in ignorance as to the proper manner
of voting. The points to be emphasized
are as follows:
There will be three ballots to vote at
the coming election, the State ticket be-
ing printed on red paper, the county
ticket on white paper and the township
ticket or yellow paper. Each voter, on
entering the voting room, will receive
from a polling clerk n of each of these
ballots. On going into the booth the
voter will stamp and fold each ballot
separately. taking care not to blot them.
and folding each one so that the mi
tials Of the polling clerk on its back
will be on the outside. Being thus fold
ed they will be handed to the inspector
to be deposited in their several boxes.
In order to vote a straight Republican
ticket the voter should stamp within
the square surrounding the eagle at the
head of the ticket, and nowhere else.
Do not make the mistake Of stamping
in front of individual names unless you
want to vote a mixed ticket, and do not
stamp within the eagle square more
thar once. A single stamp within that
square. no matter how faint or dim it
is, carries the whole ticket, and an ad.
ditional stamp will be regarded as a
distinguishing mark and cause the
ballot to be rejected.

The record of the ~taxeaters. which
the courthouse ring has placed upon the
official records, is attracting a great
deal Of attention, as we'll 1T may. Tax
payers are amazed that the county ex-
p~enditures have increased from $780,

figures were given in gross they would
not believe it, but when the amounts are
given by items, as was done in yester-

day, none can doubt. The following is
the comparison of expenses for the
years 1893 and 1894:

The dropping out of the sentiners Andel

The dropping out of the Sentinel's Ander-

string of doggerel which ran:
Ten little Injuns standing in a line.

Nine little Injuns swinging on a gate.
One fell off and then there were eight;
Eight little Injuns never heard Of heaven,
One kicked the bucket and then there were
seven.

makers have tumbled down. one of whom
has sworn that the Sentiners reporter

cocted to damage Mr.. Henry.
