To Mark Your Vote

The voter should post himself as to the ballot to be used next Tuesday before going to the polling place. Owing to a partisan decisión of the Republican supreme court in Michigan, the assistant Republicana have been perrritted to steal the name "Democratie ticket," and one of the columns In the ballot will be headed Democratie ticket with a flag for a vignette. This is not the real Democratie ticket, but the name is used by a number of real supporters of McKinley, formerly Democrats, who wish to fooi many Democratie voters into voting the "decoy" ticket, thinking they are voting for Bryan. The only Bryan ticket is the column headed with the following vignette: See that all your silver neighbors are shown this vignette, so that they may recognize it when they see it in the ballot, which will be an unusually large one, about the size of this page of the newspaper. On this ballot the Republican ticket will be placed first. The other tickets will be placed in different order in different counties, but owing to the Republican partisanship, in no case will the Democratie ticket with the Bryan electora be placed second. In all counties this ticket is in the column headed with the above vignette. The state ticket is placed first, beginning with governor, so that the i.rst name on the Republican ticket will be Hazen S. Pingree. The first name on the Democratic-People's, Union Silver ticket, or the Bryan ticket will be Charles R. Sligh. All Democrats, free silver Republicans, Populists, Prohibitionists, or any person desiring to vote for Bryan should stamp a cross in the circle under the silver dollar Bryan vignette, the same vignette as shown above. This should be done whether the voter wishes to split nis ticket or not, as there are fourteen electors to be voted íor, otherwise the voter would have to stamp a cross in front oí tne name of each one of these and mistakes might be made. If you desire to vote a straight ticket, nothing further need be done than to stamp a cross in the circle under the silver dollar. If there is some candidate on other tickets that you wish to vote for, first stamp the circle under the silver dollar, then, and not till then, stamp a cross in the square in front of the name of the candidate for whom you desire to vote on the other ticket. Bef ore leaving the booth fold the ballot so that the initials of the inspector, which are placed on the back of the ballot, may be seen on the ballot when folded.
