LINCOLN, Oct. 23. (Spoclal.) The
Judges of the, supreme court united this
afternoon 10 the following Instructions for
the preparation of tho official ballot:
It Is the tliity of the proper ofileers 111
preparing official ballots to cause to be
iprlnte.l ut Ihe top and left Hide of the
ballot In t.IiuK-fated capital .1PL"0,'?
than onr-clithth of an Inch lilfH. the name
ot each piirt hnvlnx rand (lues on the
ballot rim to the right of cell party nam
a circle on.'-lmlf Inch In diameter, with
leaders connecting the party name to tltc
circle. Till Is true though a person la
nominated by two or more political parties.
The form ot tht ballot should be uniform
throughout th state.
This ruling of the court amounts to an
Invalidation of tho schedule form of ballot
contained In the election law passed by the
last legislature, but It Upholds the text of
the law, which tho court declares was
meant to enable a person to cast a straight
party vote. The schedule has tho people'
Independent and deraocrutla parties grouped
together with a bracket connecting the
two. This arrangement would make It Im
possible, In counties where there has not
been complete fusion, for a peroon to vote
a straight ticket. The law provides as fol
lows:
At the top and left sldo of the ballot
ball be printed In black-faced capital typ ,
not less than one-eighth of an inch high,
the name of each party having candidate
on thu ballot and to thf right of each purl?
name a circle one-half Inch In (Unmet r,
with leaders connecting the party nam;
to the circle. Over tho top circle shall
appear the following printed Instruction!":
"To vote n straight ticket make a oros
within your party circle."
Further tho law provides that the names
of candidates for each office shall be ar
ranged according to the .vote cast at the
last gunrral election, the nominee of the
party receiving the highest oto to havo
the first place, the nominee of tho party re
ceiving tho next highest voto to havo the
next place and ho on.
Tho decision of tho court was brought
about through un application for a writ of
mntidamus requiring the county clork of
Lancaster county to preparo tho official bal
lot In this county so that the names ot the
people's Independent nnd dumocratlc par
ties should appear separately and without
bracket connection. Tho application watt
granted by tho court and tho writ allowed,
II the three Judges agreeing as to the
merits of the case.
Deputy Attorney General Norrls Brown
md George Adams of thin city, the latter
representing the Lancaster county repub
lican stato central committee, appeared and
rgued that the schedulo should be fol
lowed. George V. Tlcrgn and T. J. Doyle,
representing tho stato and county popu
list centrol committees, took thn opposite
Bide of the rase and urgucd In favor of tho
allowance of tho writ,
i Secretary of Htoto Marsh has prepared a
certificate which conforms to tho ruling of
tho supreme court an,d It will bo eent to
the various county clerks tomorrow. The
county clerks may glvo the democrats or
populists preference for second place on
the ballot at their own discretion, there
being no. basis upon which to determine
which party received the highest voto at
the last election.' i

There has been almost unprecedented ac
tivity In building lit this city during the
