NEW GROUPING OF CANDIDATES The Names of the Parties are Printed Cn the Extreme Left of the Ballot, and There is a Square After Each Party's Name. [Special Correspondence.! Harrisburg. Oct. 13.--One of the im portant duties of the members of the Republican county committees through out tho state between now and election day will be to instruct the voters re garding the changes that have been made in the form of the official ballot end the method of marking the ballot BO as to cast a vote for the full Repub lican ticket. Under the provisions of the law as passed at the last session of the legis lature the ballot will be smaller than heretofore. The party columns have been abolished, and the names of the candidates will be grouped under the titles of the different offices for which they are running. The name of his pnrty, however, will be printed after the name of each candidate. In lieu of the party column and the party circle at the head of each col umn, there shall be printed on the ex treme left of each ballot the names of the several parties, and after the name of each party there shall bo printed a square of sufficient size to permit of the convenient insertion of a cross mark, like this: . . I REPUBLICAN j X | I i i! . ! DEMOCRATIC j I i j j PROHIBITION I PUT CROSS MARK IN SQUARE. This cross mark is to serve the same purpose as did the cross mark used for the old ballot. When this cross mark is placed in the square after the name of any party, in tills group of parties on the lel't of the ballot, it signifies tho intention of the voter to voto for all the candidates nominated by that party. livery mark within such square shall be equivalent to a mark against every name designated by that political ap pellation or party name, Including can didates nominated by more than one p;:rty or group of citizens. At the head of each ticket shall be printed the following instructions: "To vote a straight party ticket mark a cross (X) in the square opposite the name of the party of your choice in the first column. "A cross mark in the square op posite the name of any candidate indi ct tea a voto for that candidate." INSTRUCTIONS AS TO COUNTING. A book of instructions has been is sued by the Republican state commit tee, and Secretary Andrews expects that before the end of this week he will have copies of the same in the hands of all the county committeemen. In this book, which also contains other valuable data regarding the new law, the following instructions are given to ci"ction officers regarding the method of counting the ballots: Tha effect of a cross mark (X) in the square opposite the name of the party of his choice, in the straight parly column on the left of the ballot, nhall bo equivalent to a vote for every candidate of the party so marked. The placing of a cross mark (X) In the square at the right of the name of r.ich candidate indicates a vote for each candidate so marked. A cross mark (X) in the square op posite the name of the party in the straight party column on the left of the ballot, votes a straight ticket, and is equivalent to a vote for every can ;date of the party so marked, and the rking of one or more names in the 'p of candidates of another party, <s marking of more names than *er is entitled to vote for.and is ng of the ballot otherwise ihan vl by the act. and the ballot be counted for such office, counted for all other of- Yh the name of the cin een properly marked. For example—A voter places a cross mark opposite the name "REPUBLI CAN" in the column on the left of the ballot—this mark would indicate that he had voted for every candidate of ! that party. If the voter, after having so marked his ballot, should place a cross mark in the square to the right of the name of a candidate of the Democratic party, his vote would not be counted for either or any of the candidates for that office, because the , voter would by doing so vote for mor<> candidates for that office than he is entitled to vote for, his vote, however, should be counted for all the other candidates of the Republican party. The placing of a cross mark in the square opposite the name of the party of his choice in the straight party col umn on the left of the ballot, and at the same time placing a cross mark in the square to the right of the indi vidual name of any or all of the candi dates of that party, will not affect .the validity of the ballot. It will simply be surplusage, and a vote must be counted for each candidate of that party. When a candidate has died or with drawn, and a substituted nomination is made alter the ballots are printed, there shall be prepared and distributed with the ballots suitable slips of pa per bearing thw substituted name, to gether with tho title of tlia office aul uaving adhesive paste upon the reveraa side, which shall be offered to each voter with the regular ballot, and may be affined thereto. Under no other circumstances can a "sticker" be used. A voter must not cross out any name on the ballot, nor cover a name with a sticker or paster, except in tha case referred to herein. Ballots with the name of a candidate eraced by a voter must be counted, for the name so erased, it a cross mark has been placed in the square oppo site to the name of his party. All votes should be counted, except where the voter marks more nam» s for any office than he is entitled to vote for, or for any reason it is impos sible to determine the voter's choice for any office, to be tilled. Tho ballot should be self-explanatory. 1893 AND 1903. Difference Hctwecii I'reNeut Condi tional nn<l Those of Ten Yenrn Ago. Ten years ago, on one of the closing days of July, the comptroller of tho currency reported that 105 banks In the United States liad closed their doors since the beginning of the year. The name of that official was .lames 11. Kekels. The name of tho president v\ns Grover Cleveland. It was the first year of Cleveland's second term. The Democrats were in control oft lie en tire government of the United States. That was the first time that they liad had the president and a majority in each branch of congress simultaneously since 1807-5!), in the first half ol' the presidency of .Tames Buchanan. The difference between the conditions now and ten years ago is so marked that the wayfaring man, though a fool, can see it There had been a few bank suspensions in 1893 just previous to the entrance of the Democratic party into power on March 4, but four or five times as many took place in the same length of time afterward in that year. The adverse effects of the Democratic victory of November, 1592, began to be felt long before that party had a chance to enter office. The crash, how ever, did not come until after the change of occupants of the White House took place. The panic of 1893 dates from April of that year, four or Ave weeks after the Republicans went out of office and the Democrats wont in. The little flurry on Wall street at present is as a zephyr to a tornado in comparison with the crash of ton years ago. The memory of the financial con vulsion which attended the accession of the Democracy into power in 18!*:! is something which the country will bear in mind in 1003 and 1004.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
