Voting Machines.
Experiment

The Newport News Press says that one
OF the most important objections to the
universal use OF voting machines ia their
initial cost We fancy this is one OF the
least important OF the objections to il
though it is greatly magniiied. The cost
Of voting machine is $500, probably less
when bought in lots and the saving OF
expense by their use would easily pay in
terest on the Investment aud ultimately
exinguish the principal of the cost A
voting machine, like every other piece OF
mechanism, is liable to get out OF order
sometimes, but this is Of the very rarest
occurrence, and the inconvenience arising
from such occurrence might easily be OBJ
waited by having one or two extra ma
chimes on hand. We are inclined to think
that the most important objection to the
use OF voting machines and the one most
difficult to overcome, is she opposition on
the part OF party managers because they
will ensure absolute fairness in elections.
That accounts for the milk in the cocoa
nut. The voting machine is not only the
fairest method for recording the votes oi
an election, but is is the most ex petitions

used whenever and wherever party man
