TO WATCH THE VOTING.
SUPERVISORS OF ELECTION TO BE
APPOINTED.


The Application for Their Appoint
ment the Result OF a Republican
Caucus-What the Local Managers
Saw About 1.-THE Arrangement o.
The Polls-Who May Vote and the
Oath to be Taken By Challenged
Voters.
Next Tuesdays election is not, 1t appears
TO be controlled by local managers alone.
The republicans have applied for the ap,
pointment of United States supervisors,
and Judge Pardee it is understood, will APP
point eight of them, two to each box.
These supervisors will be recommended by
Isaac Beckett, Esq, chief supervisor for
this district.
A MORNING NEWS reporter called on Mr.
Beckett yesterday and he corroborated the
statement as above given. When asked
who had made an application for the ap-
pointment of supervisors, he said that it
was court paper, and he did not feel at
liberty to make the names of the parties
public The supervisors have not yet been
appointed, and there will be no objection to
furnishing their names for publication after
the appointment.
1t is believed that the application for
supervisors was suggested in republic an
caucus here and that the colored politicians
were selected to ask Judge Pardee to appoint
the supervisors, but the white republicans,
who had been in consultation with the ne
groes, approve the move.
The supervisors will be paid S. per day,
thus reducing the surplus to the extent of $40
a day. A group of gentlemen discussing
the action yesterday were united in the
opinion that supervisors are wholly unnec-
essary, and that their appointment is an
unjust reflection upon the local managers
of elections here.
One of the managers of the election said
yesterday: 1--WE will pay no attention to
the SUPERVISORS All they can do to is look
on. They have nopower to interfere in any
way and would not be permitted to do so if
they attempted to. The managers, tally
sheet keepers and list sheet keepers were
legally appointed by the proper authorities
to conduct the election, and they propose to
do So Officers will be there to see that
order is preserved. Those who are not legal
voters will not be permitted to vote whether
there are supervisors or not"
