The new eloction law based on the Aus- tralian system was tried for the first tim The eity has for soveral years enjdyed the beneficial effect of a rogistration law admin- istered by an honest and eflcient and non partisan board of electors. The presant law 15 a fine srpplement to that and they voth banish the cvils that actually attached to tho old system or least we always thought to at- tach to it. The present law appears to give a perfece registry and declaration of tho peo- ple's will. In this city tho expense of special clection booths was avoided. Four stalls wero set up in tho room near one end of tho judge’s table. At the other end a merely uominal railing was placed, to which voters approached aud received ballots in_the order of their arrival. In the booths the ballots were prepared with the assistance of tho judges if required, then folded and deposited. Tue wholo effect is to give dignity ana_order to that wuich formerly was a game of more or less chance where often the loudest voico or tho strongest muscle carried the election. "The election day was_entirely froo from dis order, The candidates moved about wholly free from unnoyance by tho election bummer whose occupation is gone.

The Ham- ilton county veteran republican ticket was the “same as the regular ro- publican for ali state officers, while for county ofticers it hao a separate ticket of its own. ‘In aadition to these there was a sixth ticket in Hawilton county, namely the bar county ticket for judges of tho court of ommon pieas, consisting of two republicans and two demcerats. ‘This bar ticket was adopted by the peovle's party. It consisted of two rogulur democratic nominecs, two r ular republican nomiuces and ono republican ot nominated by the party couvention.
