[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

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.
