COUNTING THE COST.
The Expense of Beng Elected or De-
feated In New York City.

New York. Nov. Sin the gray
dawn of election day about 500 ex-
press wagons ratified over the pave
ments of New York, carrying little
Punch and Judy boxes to the cleo
ton precincts. AS the ticket ped
dlers are not allowed close to the
polling places these stalls had to be
furnished by the candidates for of
fee, that their workers might be on
the spot. To accommodate the
several parties and factions required
about five booths in each election
district. which made total OF $500
for the CITY, and. at S. apiece, the
cost was $I7,Soo. Around these
were gathered the party workers.
who numbered twenty five for each
box, making total of 1880 men.
They got S. apiece. which called

talk him to death, but took him d'-

him all he wanted to drink. The

he was directed, but the heeler drew

pended. Fifty dollars WAS not 4

The Stars Garry OF the Third Game
With the OgIethOrpes, With but One
Defeat on Their Record.
The game yesterday between the Ogle-
thOrpes and Stars resulted in a victory for
the visitors bya score of 10 to 8. About
700 people witnessed the game, which
started off with the promise of being close
and interesting, but which ended in an
atrocious score against the home nine.
The victory of the Stars was due almost
wholly to the bad playing of the Ogle-
thorpes. Only one run Of the thirteen
was earned, the other twelve being made
upon errors. While they have won four
games and lost but one in Savan-
nah, their success has not been
due to skillful playing, but
rather to the weakness of the opposing
mines. The Savannah clubs will, how
ever, strengthen their weak points, and
will give them a hard contest in the re-
manning games of the schedule.
The following is the score ofyesterday's
game:

REGISTERED VOTERS.
Should Copies OF the List be Granted to
Private Persons?


Editor Morning Neirs: desire to call
public attention to an important part OF
the County Commissioners meeting Of
the 18th inst. Just before the close Of the
meeting Mr.. Waring Russell addressed
the board, and requested permission to
have made for his own use copy Of the
list OF registered voters for 1884. Upon
motion such request was granted, pro-
vided It was not to interfere with the
clerk work in preparing the list for pub
LEGATION.
While disliking 10 complain Of the acts
Of these gentlemen, whose public services
without compensation are monument TO
their honesty OF purpose, l cannot but
question the wisdom of granting the re-
quest OF Mr.. Russell.
In framing the special law of Chatham
county requiring the registration of voters
as a prerequisite for voting, the main OBJ
ject to be attained was the prevention of
fraud, by compelling a challenged or
doubtful voter to identify himself by the
description as entered on the registry
book, which contains his name in full,
age. occupation and place of residence,
and which book the clerk is compelled to
present at the polls. To allow copies of
said book to be made and used by one or
more candidates opens aswide avenue tor
ishes the means of preventing OF detect
ing the fraud.
In the hands of INSCRIPTIONS partisans
it would be but too easy job to coach
large number of our marketable voters, so
as to assume the Identification of the
legally registered voter and without fear
of detection commit an illegal act, and at
the same time deprive the justly entitled
voter Of his suffrage; and, further, bow
would our citizens like to have their ages,
| ETC., copied into books aud placed in the
| hands of the several candidates, and also
in the hands of the various workers of
| said candidates. A person may give his
| age, occupation and residence when the
law requires it to perform a certain duty,
| but he is not willing that the
| community should know these facts.
! Fully impressed that the commissioners
| desire to do what is right and legal, and
as one who desires fair nTag ia every con-
| test, respectfully suggest that the COM
missioners consider this question in all OF
its aspects, and, if in their judgment, they
| deem their action OF Wednesday hasty
| and liable TO produce wrong or fraud,
they take immediate steps to reconsider
the matter and leave each candidate to
canvass by means of the registry list, az
/, published in accordance with law, which
| IS as fair for one as the other.

TIE DRAINAGE CANAL

The visit Of the grand jurors and County
Commissioners to the drainage canal, or,
as it is more generally known, Cuyler
Swamp canal, yesterday, was a most in
tsresting event. The party consisted Of

The party, on arriving at the bridge
where the Bee road crosses the canal, got
out 81 their cOuveyances aud walked to
where the cOnvicts were at work.
The cutting is finished TO a point about
900 wards north of the public road. fhe

widcns out from half to nearly mile

construction Of the canal, was covered
with water aud impossible for man or

THE BIG TREES-RICH LAND.

Specimens Of the shells from this deposit
can be seen at the MORNING NEWS office,
and are worthy the attention OF the stu
dents Of geology.
THE COMPLETION OF THE WORK.
The canal probably will be cut through
10 the Shell road by next March. Tue
convict force will thereupon be employed
in securing the banks Of the canal aud
Dutfine in lateral drains. The compile
ZION OF the great drainage canal will
bring into use for farming purposes many

time. by draining the swamps, make the
surrounding country more healthy, ana
also have a beneficial effect upon the
sanitarv condition of the city. Our peO-
ME are gradually approaching the great

nubIic work. and when it is accomplished
there will be a demand for further I'M
movements OF the same kind.
