Throughout the rural districts OF the State of
New York, the laws for the election of In
spectors and Canvassers (Clerks) OF Election
are framed with clear intent TO give two
Inspectors to the majority and one TO the
minority party. As almost any legal means OF
accomplishing this fails where either party is
largely in the ascendency, rs the Democratic
party is in some districts in New-York and
Brooklyn, il was deemed necessary, in order TO
secure fair division of the Election Boards
between the two parties, to vest the appoint
ing power in the Board OF Supervisors of
Brooklyn. and in tho Board Of Metropolitan
Police for New York. The Supervisors OF
BROOKLYN until this year have had majority
of Republicans. Hence they have divided the
Board OF Inspectors and Canvassers equal
ly, giving two Inspectors and one Canvasser to
each pRrty. In Ncw-York tho Police Board
have done the same. This year the Democratic
Supervisors of Brooklyn claim minority OF
two-thiIds. They use ii TO appoint III twontY
