small sample lot Of receipts TO cores
pond with names to be selected by the
minority as being unfair. How could
afairsr proposition be conceived? The
Democratic minority goes over the
list first and selects the names. They
are the ones who do the sampling, and
the committee must meet the names
with proper reoeipts.
The fear OF the Every Evening that
some Republican having lot of blank
receipts that he would fill up to suit
tho names selected by the minority
was dispelled yesterday afternoon
when fifty receipts were selected by
Clerk of the Peace Biggs from all the
wards of the Southern District. Dep
uty United States Marshal Watson, vino
went for the receipts knew nothing
about tho names selected by Mr.. Biggs
aud yet he found receipts (wlthout
stopping to I'LL them in) for thirty-one
names. The other nineteen represent
tho receipts given out to voters. The
plan works splendldly, and will fully
satisfy all but those who would not be
satisfied anyhow, no matter what was
done.
| TIE fifty receipts produced before
the Levy Court investigating commit
tea yesterday, showed larger pro-
portion Of receipts given out to vo-
ters of the Southern district for the
city election than will probably be
found in ex-colleetor Dougherty's
district. Wherever the contest was
sharp for members of the City Council
the greater number of receipts seem
to have bsen given out. Thus, in the
First ward, where there was no chance
of electlng Republican to Council,
only two receipts out OF seven selected
voters were given out. In the Second
ward, where there was sharp, win,
ming contest for Council, the PROPOSE
ton given out was five out OF seven.
In the Third ward, where the Repub
licans thought they had some chant @
four out OF seven receipts were glver
out. In the Fourth. ward where Their,
was no chance for the election OF Re
publican Councilman, no receipts wer
given out or the seven names. In III,
Tenth ward, where there was no chanc,
for the Republicans, three out Of sever
were given out but in the Eleventh
ward, where the Republicans hope wa
a forlorn one no receipts were give
out OF seven selected names. In tn,
Twelfth, where the Republicans sue
ceeded in a sharp contest, five receipt
out of eight were distributed.
