Tonfght,s Caucus.

1t ia to be hoped that the village au.
thorities will tonight engage sufficient
special officers to be present at the Opera
House and prevent persons voting more
than once, which it is claimed has often
been done. OF course, it may seem diff
cult to prevent this in such a crowd, bat
1t has been suggested that il proper pre-
cautions were taken it would not be very
easy Tor any person to cast more than
one ballot and that this could bt done by
having the doors OF the hall closed as
soon as the balloting commenced, each
person handing his ballot TO one ofthe
teLters instead OF letting him deposit it in
the hat, by which means persons have
been suspected Of throwing in several bal
lots, and as soon as the ballot has been
cast the person could cross the stage
making his exit by the back stairs to the
hire engine room below or if this were
found inconvenient the seats could be ar.
ranged so that after the teller had re-
ceiye0 the ballot the voter could walk
back to one o! the doors in the hall with
out mixing with the crowd who had not
voted, and proceed downstairs until the
last person in the hall had voted when
they could all be re-admitted to the hall
Tor the next ballot. This would proba.
bly, not consume more time than usual
and l. certainly would be much farer
and no one would then have cause to
Complain.
Another objection to the usual way Of
voting is that as the tellers cannot be
expected to know all the villagers, the
marshal or someone well acquainted with
the residents OF the village should be sta
toned between the tellers so as il possible
prevent any but qualified voters casting
a ballot.
Ii should also be remembered that per.
sons Intentionally voting at such caucus
without the right to do 80, as well as |
the inspectors who may receive such |
vote knowing the person is not entitled
to cast such ballot would be committing
a nisdemeanor and Liable to fine of not |
exceeding 81 900 or imprisonment not |
exceeding one year or both such fine and |
imprisonment.

ditched near the Tamarsck round house
last Tuesday afternoon in nearly the
same place where the wreck occurred a
short time ago. Thecars were on the main
track and were pushed OF by a locomo-

which was open and they ran of the
track and tumbled over the EN- bankment.
The cars and coal were cleared out OF the
way in short time and no trains were
delayed by the accident.
