urging that the Churchill invc>iica-
. ton ought to lie made very soon. or
indefinitely postponed We do not
understand tire ns;tcr well enough to
know whether the reasons for delay
are good ones or not. and refer 10 the
matter simply 10 call the attention Of
the legislature To the fact that some
ninety voters i'll Churchill have at
present ~ much representation as ten
times their number have in other
counties. which ought To be adjusted
by dividing the territory composing
that county among counties adjacent.
E.tsTprise.
A. 10 the reasons FOX delav.i it is evil
den: that they are based on nothing but
a wish TO proc-a>iiua;e matter which.
when il shall have been brought be-
fore the Legislature upon its merits,
Will exhibit the sitting members in
the light Of persons who hold their
places by vir;ue of rremedita;ed fraud
and outrage whose enactment was I'M
possible without DISTINGUISHING all but
six or eight Of the Republican voters
Of Churchill county. As we under
stand the case presented by the CON
testauts, i. i in substance Is follows:
The Registry agents throughout the
county, being privy To = scheme to
register the Democratic voters OF the
county III advance of the Republicans,
did 50, and then resigned their offices.
This being done, the Democratic
Board OF County Commissioners re-
fused TO appoint registry agents in the
place orthose who had resigned. This
hish-handed act left the Republicans,
some OF whom are the largest tax
payers in the county, with no other
alternative than to remain dis
franchised. or 10 have their names
duly registered, under oath, by
responsible persons OF their own
selection. and then, if denied the
RICH: to vote al the regular
polling places, to deposit their ballots in
a public manner in boxes kept near the
said regular polling places. This they
did; and the count shows that these, tax
en- il connection with the few (six or
eight Republican ballots that were de-
posted in the box provided by the coun-
~ authorities, gave 4 majority to the
can II la:es uron the Republican ticket.
This, il oEisi, Is the case.
