TWO BALLOT-BOXES AND TWO BALLOTS. Rod Boxes For Bed Tickets, end White Boxes For White Tickets. As there are two ballots and two ballot--boxes, inspectors should be extremely careful to put the red ticket in the red box and the white ticket in the white box. j. The initiats of the poll-clerks on the back of each ballot should be scrutinized before the ballot is deposited in the box, as a safeguard against possible forgerv of ballots. In case a voter offers a ballot that is not folded so as to show the initials of the poll-clerks it should be returned to him, witn instructions to go into the booth and refold it bq that they will he shown. If a voter offers a ballot so folded that the name of any candidate voted for is disclosed it cannot be placed in the box, and he cannot thereafter be allowed to vote. This ballot should be surrendered and destroyed, and a minute of the occurrence, with thestatement of the destruction of the ballot, should be entered upon the polllist, opposite the name of the person.
