ELECTIONS IN GREECE.
• .&. Greece, elections are held in ohurohes Oil. Sunday. In the church to which I succeeded in gaining acces.s on- one election day there were arranged around the walls fortytwo boxes, that being tbe number of candidates to be voted for. These boxes were about the size and shape of a biscuit box, one-half painted white, with • Yes ' on them, and the other half black, with ' No ' on them. Beside eaoh box stood a representative of the candidate, and over the box was. hung the candidate's picture. Each voter, as he entered the church, had his name registered and a check given him. In passing around : the church the voter is given a bullet,- or vote, by the representative standing beside the. box of each candidate. Negative votes, as well as affirmative, must be cast— that is, if a voter objects to a candidate he must cast a negative bullet. Great care is exercised by the representatives of the candidates tha* there is no stuffing of the ballot boxes.'
