A. Warner, Chairman Of the Radica
State Executive Committee, "to all thu
Judges and Chancellors throughout the
State" Under thin guise Of yirtuouS
phraseology, it is nothing more nor less,
than an appeal to those functionaries to
see that the lists of Registration Boards
are revised in order that they may be
stocked with members who will corrupt
the ballot boxes and defraud the voters of
a fair election, and count Radical candi-

Circular Letter.

Registration, and in the proper perform

charge their duties fearessly, ESPE-

VOTE AND MAKING UP THE RE-

Judgment will promote the free and full
expression of the people at the ballot
box. We take the privilege of address
ing this Circular Letter to all the Judges
and ChGcelloS throughout the State,
because it has been suggested to It's that
there are some professed Republican
Registrars who are incompetent, unwor-

Respectfully,
TSigned A. WARNER,
Chairman.
