III
ballot. The other county central commit

mandamus proceedings were then instituted,
or about to be instituted. relating to the
placing of the name Of Martin Langdon for
county Judge, and that of the nominee of
the peoples independent party being placed
first upon the ballot. The judicial part OF
the ticket contained the names OF fifteen
candidates, seven of whom were republicans,
and seven had the endorsement Of the peo-
ple's independent and democratic conVen-
tion, and one nominated by petition and had
the endorsement of the silver republican
committee. That no objections were made
until the night of the I'd Of November,
after the official and sample ballots were
printed and the sample ballots distributed.
This objection was to the effect that there
was not sufficient space between the names
of the nominees of the peoples independent
party, the democratic party, and that of the
candidate by petition, who had the endorse
ment Of the silver republican party. But
by reference to the election law OF the
state of Nebraska section 140, will be found
the instructions for making up the ballot
which says: That the space intervening
between the names of the candidates OF the
same party for the same office shall be 3-16
of an inch and the space between the names
of candidates of different parties shall be
a Of an inch.' which law was
strictly complied with. and will SO appear
by inspection.
