IT was asserted by our county papers during the pendancy of the bill in the last legislature for the consolidation of the State and Ma tional elections that nine-tenths of our people were in favor of it.

It was great disap- pointment to our people that the bill did not pass nj tho last session. Aside from saving vast amount of taxation It would be 8 saving of time to the voter as we'll.
