To the Editor.
SlB, —In your issue of yesterday it is stated that a Returning Officer in a neighboring Pro vince spoke to the effect—“ That a g»eat deal had been said about election by ballot, and he might tell them th*t the secresy of the ballot was absolute, and the only person who saw the papers was the Returning Officer; there was a great mistake abroad about the numbering of ballot papers.” To myself it is a matter of thorough indifference in politics wheter I vote openly or secretly; but I protest against a numbered voting paper (although the Returning Officer only should be able to know how I used my privilege) being called the ballot, or Secret Voting, Dnnedin, December 31, 1875,
