Ky. Th recent election in Great Britain mikes the election methods there of interest to us. since almost every one here baa been interested in the question of Iivh Home liule. In the first place, there la no fixed da to for holding elections, as with us; and in the second place, there are two kinds of elections to be held borough and county elec tion, writs ordering elections to i bld are issued by the Speaker of ihe Bouse of Commons to the Returning OlH- em in. each county and borough, com manding them to hold elections within their districts.

If tho writ go to a toorough. the election must be held within nine days after the writ has been received it it go to a county, the election must be held within seventeen days. la, both cases legal holidays are not counted and the last possible day is always chosen for the actual day of election. In a county the Eeturning Officer has three days in which to give notice of the election the registered electors; he may receive nomination ih fifth dav after receivinc the writ. or on any one day up to the tenth day after receiving it; and on the third nay aftes receiving nominations, or on any ntv Liv nn to the aixth after the nomina tions, he may bold the election, lo the Returning Officer of a borough less time allowed, and he must finish the eicc-tioa within nine days after receiving iKa writ Tha candidate is nominated in writing bv two registered electors and olvlit ntfw "backers: and if within iw hour nf the timo of oneninz itnr or tne Keturnina- nicer mvm nominations have not been made than ihr-ir are rata to be filled for many dis tricts send more than one member the niK.r lLin tho nersuna nominated ek-cted without opposition II more pei-saus om Mb.
