SEAFORTH,FRIDAY, JAN. 21, 1876:
The Balloi in Municipal Elec-
tions:
A correspondent from Goder ch, in
writing on ,this subjeet last week, refer-
red. totwo very important points which
might with profit engage the attention of
our legislature. The fir t of these is the
probable increase of the " plumper" sys-
tem of voting' under the Ballot in muni-
cipal elections,' and the consequent evil
results. A plumper" vote, as most of
our readers no doubt no know, is where
the voter votes for one, and only one
candidate, when be has the privilege of
voting probably for three. This system
of voting, for many reaspns, is objection-
able, and there is no do bt but under the
ballot system greater fa ilities are afford-
ed for the pt•actice of it. Our corres-
pondent recommends, a a remedy, that
all ballots found with t e name of only
one candidate marked, should be de-
stroyed and not ` counted. This would
certainly be an effectual remedy, but we
are not prepared to affirm that it would
be right to interfere with the rights of
extent, even to
ecome a general
ce, each elector
sary gaalification
-. the elector to so great a
stamp out what ,may k
evil. In the first pia
who possesses the neces
has a right to demand that his vote be
taken, and he has an a ual right to vote
for such candidates as a may deem beat
qualified. If, for ins ante, an electo
could only conscientiously 'vote for on
candidate, the others being, in his esti
oration, so utterly unfit for the positions
to which they aspire, that in voting for
them he would do violence to his feel-
ings, it would not be right to compel
that man either to vote against his con-
scientious convictions or prevent him
voting altogether. To discard his ballot
would virtually have this effect. But
it may besaid in reply to this, that we
are advocates of complsory voting, and
that it would not be a1 greater injustice
to compel a man, to vote for three candi-
dates, two of whom hel did not -approve
of, than to compel the same -man to vote
for one candidate that he could not vote
for conscientiously. We donot, how-
ever, 'desire, nor do any who advocate
compulsory voting desire, that a person
should be compelled to vote for a candi-
date or candidates. 1 that_ we desire
is, that each; elector sh uld be compelled
to deposit his ballot. This could not
possibly force him too violence to'his
feelings in. any respect, as if he had con-
scientious scruples to oting 'for any or
all of the ca>didates, could deposit a
blank ballot, and no erson would be
any the wiser. The Benefit would be
that all would know th t he had at least
given an expression of is opinions, even
though it m "y have b en a blank, and
that he had ot, either through indiffer-
ence or for ay corrupt c nsideration, neg-
lected the pelrformauee • f that duty. To
compel a main to deposit his ballot and
thereby ',give expressi!n to his senti-
ments, and to compel - im to give a vote
for certain individuals, are two very dif-
ferent things. The fir t, we are well as-
sured, would be a pu lic benefit, while
it would infict no individual injustice ;
the latter night also be a public benefit,
but we fear it would be an undue inter-
ference with indvidua' liberty. The
subject, however, is one deserving of
consideration, *and the evil complained
of should be remedied,• if a ., remedy
which will not inflict an injustice is pos-
sible,
The second point referred to by our
correspondent is the applicatioiii of the
ballot system of .voting at school
trustee electios. This is a sug'-
gestion of wh h we heartily ' ap'
prove. Wo should not only like to see
school trustee elections conducted under
the ballot, but also under a compulsory
voting law. Much as a law for compul-
sory voting is required in Parliamentary
and municipal election, it is absolutely
needed in connection with school trustee
elections, as the indifference which now
prevails among the ' eleptors in regard to
school trustee elections is simply dis-
creditable to an educated and intelligent.
people: We notice that Mr. itoss, the
inember for West Huron,- has given no-
tice that he intends toj introduce a bill
extending the ballot to school trustee
elections, and we trust he willstick to
it until he succeeds ie having it placed
.on the statute book. The bill wilt not
likely bepassed this session, but tbe
bringing of it forward will have a good
effect for the future. We trust, also,
that Mr, Bethune will stick to his com-
pulsory voting measure, until the Gov-
ernment are ;either forted to take it up
themselves or see it carried in the Legis-
lature over their heads, Such a measure
is• desired by the country, and as the
