said the City club had a bill in preparation which
gave the vews.pf himself and his associates as to
Ballot Reform law amendments.

any remedy az 10 defective ballots. and said that
with pencil point under finger nail dishonest
election official could make ballots defective. There
was at present redress There over nifty
thousand defective ballots in New-York CRY at the
recent election Senator Guy suggested that there
