poyed sufficient number OF canvassers to thoroughly
canvass each district and record the names OF all who
are entitled to vote; at the same time ascertaning
what their political predictions are. 10 this man.
ner the whole county has been canvassed, and the
names of the voters arranged in alphabetical order.
The Committee next obtained copies of the poll lists
of the last election, and compared them with their
canvass. When the time arrives for the registry OF
votes if it be found that the names OF Republicans en-
filled 70 vote have not been recorded the registry
lists the Committee will have these names recorded.
