Show The fclmiUiiu. Tomorrow occurs the mmral vU tiou. 'l iii' pnlU will be open Irom one hour after bunriso tinnl i-uusi1'. Ttturu am L.I bo elected in Salt L.iki-county L.iki-county an r ir,'rtciilalivti-. to the It-yia lativa a.st'inti!y, one prubaU" judc, Bcleulinan, treasurer, recorder, ur-v ur-v iyor, HUpuruiti'iulciit of tohooU, at torney, shi'rifl, coroner; beaid.-s tiirni-will tiirni-will bo elected in the territory thr.'o commisHioners to locate univereity lands, the candidates being en the several county tickets. The nn de ol conducting the election U briefly this: The senior justice of the pi!.ee in the precinct shall be the judKe. He shall appoint a uli-rk, furninh stationery and a ballot box. In the auaenco of a justice, the first six elec-; tors atmeiubleJ at tho polling place may appoint a person to act as judge. E.ich tleclor must provide himseli with a ballot Containing tho names ol the persons bo wishes elected, and the ottices bo would have them fill, and folding, present it to the judge, who shall number and deposit it in tho box, when the clerk stiall write the name of the elector and opposite i hereto the number of the ballot. Ihallenges can bo made at t'.ie polls, vhicb. must be heard aud docidi-d tin n and there by the judge. After too close of the polls, tne boxn-t hIv all tie sealed and immjdiately t'keuto the county clerk, who, with the pro bate judge, or in his absence ouoot tne selectmen, shall count the votes and make an abstract of the returns. re-turns. Tuo qualifications of a mule elector are ihesi: He must be a cit;zen of the United States, over 21 years of age, been a constant resident of the territory for the six months next preceding the election. The law says no person shaU ba deemed a resident resi-dent unleas he is a taxpayer; however a federal judgo has held that being liable tl taxation that is having taxable tax-able property, whether be has paid taxes or not constitutes a person a resident under the law. " Every woman ol the age of twenty one years who has resided iu this territory six months next preceding any general gen-eral or special election, born or naturalized natu-ralized in tho United States, or who is the wife, widow or daughter of a native born or naturalized citiiin of the Unitul States, shall be entitled to vote at any election of this territory." In this county there are two tickets in the field tho people's and the "libera!" and cflorls will bo made to receive as many vnt-$ us possible for each. Of course no one doubts the result of the election, rh. re is not enough of the "liberal" element here to make a respectable showing, much less lo elect a single candidate. However, confident a$ ?e all are that the people's candidates candi-dates will be elected by ao overwhelming over-whelming majority, no one suouid neglect to cast his or her vote tomorrow. to-morrow. It is a duty that every citizen citi-zen owes to himself and the community, com-munity, to vote at every and all popular pop-ular electious. The interest, so far, bas been slight. The "liberal" leaders have tried to infuse enthusi-:tsm enthusi-:tsm into their followeis, but the eflort has been crowned with small success, and we expect to see the faction poll ; a lighter vote than it bas done at tbe I elections of Boveral years past. On : i he other side little bas been said concerning the election, everybody's confideut knowledge ol the success of the ticket seemingly keeping him quiet. Tbe people's ticket has appeared in tbe Herald during the week. It is a good one, and tbe gentlemen there-oq, there-oq, who are candidates for office, can be safely trusted with the powers' and duties conferred upon them. We advise all who have the right to cast their ballot on Monday and vote the people's ticket. Even tho "liberals" would do well to heed this advice, and throw off on their candidates, candi-dates, whom they certainly do not want to have elected.
