FOLLOWING TICKET

I
more personal popularity, and indeed
the whole ticket is as strong as it could
/ be made.
Following the address of the Liberal
Republicans is an address issued by a
large number Of the most influential
Democrats and Conservatives in the
State, recommending the support Of the
new ticket to the people in preference to
that headed by the name of Joe Brooks,
as they have a
PERFECT RIGHT TO DO
under the resolutions adopted by the
Democratic State Convention in June.
This address is signed by E. II. English,
J. NJ. Hanks, b. ID. Turner, d. W.
Jones, S. T. Clark, B. F. Danley, J..
PettigreW, a. NJ. Wilson, and over one
hundred other prominent Democrats.
The electoral ticket has not been
changed.
The Gazette of this city, the leading
Democratic paper Of the State, will to-
morrow morning hoist the new ticket
The Augusta Bulletin, Forrest City
Times, Searcy Record, Fayetteville
Democrat, Lewisburg W1dsdWdke, Mon
ticellO7lidn, Arkadelphia Standard, and
perhaps other Democratic papers Of the
State, will hoist the ticket at once, to be
followed by all the Democratic press Of
the State. Governor Hadley has issued
the following
INSTRUCTIONS To REGISTRARs;
The privilege Of the ballot is held very
dear by every American citizen, and II
s s high and important trust given TO
Ragistrars when called upon to decide
VINO are and who are not entitled to this
privilege, and the decision should he
M lie upon the evidence presented ON
de personal knowledge Of the Regis
trar as contemplated in the law without
political prejudice or vices OF any kind,
but as sworn officers whose duty it is to
EXECUTE THE LAW
fairly and impartially as it stands upon
the statute books, without fear or favor.
In most cases you will have but little
difficulty in arriving at correct conclu-
siOns. II, however, q reasonable doubt
arises in your mind in any given case as
to the disfranchisement Of an applicant,
that doubt should evidently be construed
IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICANT,
upon the principle that there should be
the greatest liberty exercised by the cit
izen consistent with the provisions Of
the law.
Section seven Of the act Of July Is,
1868, prescribes the attendance of a Reg
istrar at each election precinct, district
or ward in the county for not less than
three days, for the purpose Of receiving
applications for registration. 1t is evil
dent that an attendance of one day does
not practically furnish, even in the
smallest precincts, = sufficient Opportu-
nifty 10 enable all the qualified electors
to procure registration, while the period
allowed for the session Of the Board of
Review is limited, and the -
INCONVENIENCE TO THE CITIZEN
of making application TO the eountysest
in most cases considerable. The entire
time, therefore, between the receipt Of |
these instructions and the date fixed for |
the meeting OF the Board ought to be |
occupied by the Registrars in each county
in affording to the citizens OF each pre-
cinct the opportunity of registration. |
Two days at least should be allowed 10 4
each precinct, and where an attendance |
Of but one day has already been given,
an additional one should be designated |
for the completion OF the work. When |
the attendance Of the President Of the
board for this length of time at each |
precinct in the county would be imprac- /
Licable, he should, without fail, procure, |
IN accordance with the provisions |
Of section seven, above referred TO, |
-he services Of one or more Of the re- |
Registrars in the order as their /
names appear in their commissions as |
numbered. Presidents Of the respective |
county boards viii please, Immediately |
lpOn receipt Of these instructions, pro- |
,eed to
PUBLISH THE NOTICES
required by section three OF the Regis
ration act, SO as to comply herewith in /
III cases where il has not already been |
lone, and forward to me, without delay,
! certified statement Of the times and /
places Of the appointments msde, and |
IN immediate notification as soon as
ZACH appointment shall have been duly |
leld, so as to enable this department to
lave full knowledge ss to whether reg
stration is being
IADE IN ACCC ,CE WITH THE Law,
md no duties omitted by the Registrars.
The duties OF the Board OF Review
hould in all cases be performed in the
order:
kirst-All objections or challenges
.gainst any person TO whom certifi-
ate Of registration has been issued by
he Registrar, whether such objectionl |
lrises upon the motion Of member oil
he Board OF Of any other challenger,
hould, in order that due notice be af-
orded TO the party challenged, be sub
nitted during the first two days Of the
essiOn Of the Board, and
IT objection should in any case be re-
eived after that time. At the close Of
he second days session two plainly
written lists Of the parties SO challenged,
With the grounds Of challenge briefly
tated it might be an act of substan-
ial justice to insert, also, the name Of
