lost every voter that has been cited, ana IN
the last day or two has readily acceded TO
every proposition advanced TO do away win
hearing any more citations.
On Saturday last N. a. Dorm, represent
ing the Republican County Committee, pro-
posed that all outstanding citations he re-
ferrpd to the Registrar, and that only the
doubtful ones be brought before the com
mission. In the light OF what had been
done with the hundreds already examined,
this seemed like n fair and reasonable propo-

ing the Democratic County COMMITTEE, ana
who is great Stickler for the legal points,
raised Drodigous "kick" in an instant ana
declared he would be a party to no COM
promise whatever that was not strictly IN
accordance with law
The Comm ssonerS sank back in di>may.
If the Democratic County Committee was
going to stand on ceremony like that they
had nothing to do but sit there day after

endless monotony of citations.
At 10 o'clock yesterday the Commissioners

slaughter. Auditor Strother is completely
metamOrphoSed. All through the campaign
until within short time the astute Com

After hundred of two had been exam
ined and no changes made IN the register,
the question Of how best to get rid OF the
dread job was again asitated. Every one
present was in favor of some scheme OF
other, and they didn't seem to care much
what. To the surprise of all. Mr.. Hayes

Finally, Mr.. Hayes submitted the following
re oiutiou:
