Itis an evidence of ageneral desire to secure honest} elections. that is both creditable to the people of the state, and a cause for congratulation on the part of these who have been champious of the purity of the ballot. As enacted in the last legislature, the law applies only to those cities having over 5,000 people, and not to the country at all. For a time there were serious objections to it on the part of some, who misunderstanding the terms of the law, supposed that it restricted the rights of the people in the matter of voting for such can- didates as were not of the older pe- litical parties. Those, however, who felt this way, soon found that they were mistaken, and many of those who were once the strongest oppo-| nent of the bill, are now earnest advocates.
