ship; Mr.. Andrew Carroll made a few re-
marks, urging all to turn out and regi ser, and
get their friends to register. 1t would be the
white mems own fault if they were beaten
The chair proposed that committee be ap-
pointed TO hunt up those who have not regis
tered, and who should do SO. Mr.. Huykman
moved that committee Of twelve be appointed
to attend to this matter. Mr.. G.. w. Emerson
said he had been at the polls OF registry and
had seen no one there to challenge those who
presented themselves for registration. He said
it would be well for the Association to appoint
TIVE or three men as challengers, if they had TO
pay them g. or 80 per day. Mr.. John cDer
mott asked where the money would come from
TO pay these men. The club, he said was COM
posed OF poor men, and he did not think the
treasurer had any surplus money on hand
Mr.. N. Callahan hoped that challengers would
be sent TO the registry, and that the men sent
would be paid, IL necessary. He was willing
10 contribute ore than his share towards paw
ing them. Mr.. Emmerson wanted to give his
mite for some six men to 60 to the registry and
spot every black man that could not
amend the motion by providing for committee
OF SIX TO act in this matter; carried. The motion
as amended was then carried. Mr.. Emerson
said II was an old saying, "Bad pay, bad work
good pay, good work." and perhaps those
appointed would like 10 know how much they
would get for their services. He Therefore
moved to give them IS per day each. Mr.
McDermott thought IS too much, and moved 10
amend the motion by making the sum So Mr.
Emerson accepted the amendment, and the
motion was carried. Mr.. Carroll said the most
practicable question now before the club was
