To THE VOTERs OF WASHING


RsTo THE VOTERS OF WASHING
R TON AT meeting Of citizens of the
Second Ward, held in HARMONY Hall, on Satur
day evening, December 49, 1885, the undersigned
were appointed committee {, urge upon you the
Importance OF complying with the requirements
Of the law relative TO tie registration Of the
names Of voters in the several election preoincts
OF the city Under the opinions held and ex
pressed by tie United states Circuit Court for
this District, In the case OF c Wallack IS.
The CORPORATION of Washington, this would
seem to be unnecessary; but when we recollect
that within few years past Commissioners Of
Elections, whose political existence Is limited TO
the brief period Of twenty four hours, and whose
official acts extend only 10 that period Of time,
have assumed to themselves powers over and
above the Courts, and have set at defiance their
judicial opinions, why then 1t becomes in the
highest degree important that every precaution
should be taken in order to prevent the future eI
erci Of such powers by the officers referred to
In no way can this be done more certainly and
more effeclually than by calling personally on the
Asse' sors OF your respective Wards with view
to see that your name Is properly placed on the
registry list.
we nave felt constrained to call your attention
thus publicly ard specially to this important mat
ter, from the fact that very large number Of
names, many Of them those OF our oldest and
most respected citizens, have been omitted ( ON
the lists foT the present year, or the names mis-
spelt as not distinctly to indicate the persons in
tended 10 be represented. In the Second Ward
the number SO OGHltpQ Is ABOUT tufcS nunC1eu
and forty It would be uncharitable TO assume
that this has been done Intentionally, hut the fact
itself shows that there has been at least great
carelessness In making up the registry, and should
satisfy every voter OF the necessity Of having his
name placed properly upon the record.
We Therefore urge upon you the importance Of
giving prompt consideration to the suggestions
Contained In this address. The time for action is
short But thirteen days remain from this date,
and those the shortest and busiest Of the year,
during which the registry lists open for popu-
lar inspection and correction Let every voter
not only see that his name is upon the proper li>
but at the same time let him see that the names
Of his neighbors and friends are also properly re-
turned. JAMES F. HALLIDAY,
