Already there ia disposition in GER
tain circles to claim for the Republic
can party a partisan advantage in the
new Ballot law, which permits OF tho
printing of ballots by political organi
cations and individuals, the State
merely furnishing the paper. The reason
is obvious.
TIE object OF tho Australian system
of voting. which was adopted in this
State some years ago, was to secure
fair elections and prevent, as far Rs
possible, corruption Of the suffrage,
That it succeeded to a certain extent
cannot be denied, and it certainly made
the work Of the corruptionists more
difficulty OF accomplishment
The greatest obstacle to the SUCCESS
of efforts at vote buying was the IN
certainty attending the new system of
voting. The purchaser Of venal voter
could not feel certain that tho bargain
was being carried out, although the
voters assistants were frequently made
the instruments of seeing that the cor
rupt voter voted as he was paid to vote.
But now, with the right of printing
tickets conferred upon every Tom, Dick
and Harry, provided tina ballot paper
10 procured from the legal SOURCES, the
doors will be open to the old corrupting
intlusnces The yenal vUters can be
approached with ballots so printed az
to be readily dIstinguishable when
taken from the ballot boxes, and thus
the proof will be at hand to warrant
the oorruptionista in either paying the
price agrssd upon, or withholding it.
For pay would be conditioned UPON the
designated ballots appearing during the
count of the votes.
1t is this conditiun that ia giving rise
to much chuckling and self sa tiafnction
on the part of Republican politicians,
for, although political roguery is not
confined TO any one party, the expert
ence OF the past has demonstrated that
in the matter of corrupting the suffrage,
the Republican politicians of Delaware
have ever shown great superiority
over their Democratic opponents.
Therefore, the claim is boldly advanced
that the new system of ballot printing
will inure largely to the benefit of the
Republican party.
Fortunately, We have in our new Con-
stitution stringent provisions against
attempts to corrupt the suffrage, aud We
believe public sentiment throughout
the State will support any determined
effort to make these provisions Of
fective. There ia reason to hope, there.
fore, that the path of the ballot cor
rupter will be made difficult, and his
task as dangerous as il ia dirty.
1t was urged in behalf of the change
that the Australian ballot system wat
cumbersome, difficult. and tended very
materially against independent voting
by reason of the fact that many mer
were afraid to attempt to vote spill
sicket, from fear of spelling the bal
lot and thus losing their votes; there
Gore, they would accept the straigh
ticket, even though it bore names dis
tasteful to them. 1t is claimed that thu
printing OF tickets, instead of the larg,
official ballots, will encourage indie
pendent voting. This may be true, blu
the printing of the tickets should hav
been left with the State, which woult
have deprived corruptioniats Of one o
their best methods Of securing thei
ends.
