CALLING FOR MACHINES.
Indiana Editors Demand the Most
Perfect Method of Voting.

The demand for voting machines is quite
general now. 1t is a good time to agitate
that question. and during the coming ses-
sion of the Legislature would be a good
time TO enact law requiring them TO be
used-Martinsville Republican.
The cost of the recent election in this
county, including the services of election
boards, meals. room rent, printing OF
tickets etc, will be in the neighborhood
OF $1,000, If the Courier is correctly advised.
That amount 1t is ventured would be al
most sufficient to equip the county with
voting machines.-Lafayette Courier.
Chairman Hernly. of the Republican
state committee, has declared strongly for
voting machines. Mr.. Hernly has greatly
strengthened the party by his advocacy of
reform measures before the Legislature
But for his efforts the county and town
ship reform bills. would not have been
passed.-Greencastle Banner
There is a strong movement in favor of
the adoption of voting machines over the
State. The delay in obtaining accurate
returns in the late election has given the
sentiment in favor of machine voting an
impulse that it has lacked heretofore.
County councils every where are being pc
titioned to make appropriations for test
ing machines and it is expected that be-
fore the next general election in 1902 MANY
be provided with the machines.-Bluffton
Chronicle
1t is time our voting should be done on
voting machines The machines will cost
considerable money, it Is true. But the
expense saved in extra time taken by cleo
ton boards will, in a few years. pay for
the machines. The advantage to be de-
rived will be in the certainty of q fair
count and the impossibility of purchasing
votes with the surety that the vote is de-
llvered TO the party purchasing it-Bates-
vile Tribune.
At the last election there were great
many votes thrown out for the reason that
they were not properly marked, and this
thing will continue so long as the present
system of voting IS used. 1t gives the
defeated ones n chance to cry fraud and it
causes no end of dissa tisfaction With the
voting machine all this will be done away
with and there will be votes thrown out.
The voter can make no mistake. The ma
chine marks the ticket just he wishes Ii
marked. Another thing that the machine
would facilitate will be the matter of
counting. Just as soon as the vote is in
the result be known and there is no
DELAY There is no chance for contest,
wrangle or unnecessary expense The ma
chine will record the result accurately and
in a manner that will be no misunder-
standing. III will also lessen the expense

ty clerk. all of whom were Republicans,

the only instance in the history of the

voted for a candidate who was dead.

the strongest manner, TO see TO it in future

JUSTICE TO DEAD LEADERS.

Now that discussion of the question
of reducing the representation in the
House of the States which have disfran-
chised their colored citizens is going on,
there is a disposition to assail the Repub-
lican party in Congress during the recon-
struction period for forcing negro suf-
frage upon the South without offering its
quoted few days since from the Phil
adelphia Record made such a charge. The
New Orleans Times-Democrat, one of the
ablest and fairest papers in the South, in
the same manner makes the assumption
that no other method except the forcing of
negro suffrage upon the South was offered
it by the Republican Congress of 1S65-67,
in the following language:

Tennessee promptly ratified the amend

Johnson, the legislatures of all the other
Confederate States rejected the proposed

votes. To Congress the late Confederates
