Trsr YOUR SKILL.

The Dispatch has been printing In its
Sunday and weekly issues what we sup
pose will be the form Of the official ballot
10 be voted on Tuesday next. The only
difference that there can possibly be be-
tween our form and the official form is
that in the latter a different sort Of
type may be used. and the various party
tickets may not follow one another in
the exact sequence that we give. But
whoever studies the form that we print
will be well qualified TO prepare his
ticket for Bryan and Sewall on Tuesday
next. We, therefore. advise all of our
readers who are Democratic voters TO
study the instructions for voting that we
give in the issues named. and then take
ballot form No. /, and mark it as they
would do il they were in the voting
booth.
After this marking has been done,
without referring to form No. 2, the
marked ballot should be compared with
No 2. so that you may detect any error
that you may have made.
The marking of a ballot Is not diff
cult thing to do, provided you thoroughly
inform yourself as 10 what the law re-
quires to be done; but otherwise you may
easily lose your vote.

No, content with their devices 10 spot
the corporation employee who votes lot
the BRYAN ticket. the Republicans and boss
po,,ers have concocted a scheme TO give
the uliterate negro a way-biil from party
Headquarters through the voting-bootn
TO the ballot-box and pack TO the AFFIDAVIT
Committee.
Each such darby Is to have put into
his hands a slip OF paper in the form OF
n declaration. under oath. that ne wishes
70 vote for Mckinley and Hobart, and
lnstructs the designated judge so to pre-
pare his ballot. etc.
This way-bill is to be a link In chain
TO pull open the secrecy of the ballot.
But we cannot imagine that our judges
of election will be so stupid as to make
themselves pieces Of machinery for con-
verting our secret ballot into an open
ballot. so far as the Republican party
managers are concerned.
The judges OF election should take the
law for their guidance. adhere 10 it firm
". and refuse to read or act upon, or in
any way be influenced by the absurd re-
quests or bulldozng threats Of the con-
spirators who are engaged in a deter
mined effort to subject to their win every
corporation employee and every negro
voter.
No coercing and no way-billing are all
lowed under our laws. and both devices
ought to be Indignantly spurned and re-
pudiated by all honest and independent
officers Of election. Let the law be strict
~ complied with, and then let howl who
may.

GENERAL LEE COMES TO ADVISE.
President Requested Him to Return
for Consultation.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Herald. under date Of the 29th'
says: The cable from Habana this morn
ing stating that General Lee will san
for the United States on Saturday Tor a
conference with the President. and that
interesting results may be expected, Is
fully confirmed by information | have OBJ
taine1 here.
Officially IT IS declared that General
Lees return TO the United States has no
special significance; that the state DC
partment has consented TO his taking
vacation at this time because anairs are
less critical than they have been Tor
some time. and it is. therefore, safe Tor
him 20 leave his post for few weeks
From this it would appear that the state
Department regards the recent concentra-
ton Of Spanish troops in Pinar del RIO as
nothing serious.
The official explanation Of Genera
Lees visit is doubtless satisfactory 10
the Spanish Minister. who, II is said, Is
as sanguine as ever that the war In CUBA
can be prolonged indefinitely without any
danger OF Interference by the present ad-
ministration The general opinion IS
however. that the main purpose of Gene
raj Lees visit is for consultation Win
the President and the Secretary of state
concerning the situation on the island,
and the prospects for an early ending OF
the war II may also be stated that MS
return is not entirely OF his own vohuoh,
but is in consequence of an expressed
wish Of the Presidents.
The President desires to consult fuily
with General Lee before he takes any
steps looking TO Intervention in the CUBAN
affair. He desires TO know the eA-
act situation in the island before he sendS
his message to Congress. IL DOES
not follow that he viii recommend any
speci6c line Of action in his forthcoming
message. but he may in some way lore
shadow prospective action by the dd-
m'nistratlon so as to stave of declara-
tons by Congress until the first Of the
year. when a definite line Of policy look

virtual independence Of the island can De-
