We pnbiish IA this WEEKS issue The
changes made by the Registration OH
GERS at the October sitsings -
These lists should haze been publish
ed Immediately after the FIRST October
sitting, tut were not. Only two reached
this office. those of Messrs B TubHan
aud Thomas High6eidS. Upon enquir-
ing we were Informed that the counsel %
the Registers instructed them to publish
their lists Immediately after their respcc-
tive sitting. but the managers
ordered thers not TO do so
and the command OF the latter
was ebeyed. To obey the will of po-
litical boss in some things and at some
times is we'll enough. bat when to do 80
means to vinlstc clca- aud expressed
provision OF the law. Is not ia the minds
uf pru.leut people always a safe thing
to dn. The registration law may be
violated with IMMUNITY when a lo'al
election alone is Altered, but when i
comes to Federal election it is quite
different thing, If some violpior OF the
registration law was jerked up before a
Federal court and tried we imagine he
would not enjoy ,ae entertainment, even
IL acquitted. The law states very clear
" that the Registration Officers shall
within three DAYS after their respective
attings make out and publish complete
list Of names of per sons stricken ~. II
wss done after the September string aud
why not after the FIRST October sitting,
The intention of the law is obvious. l.
il TO give due notice to persons itfccted'
so that they may have ample time TO ap'
peal or to go before the Regitcrs on re-
vision day and apply for reinstatement
Publishing the lists this week does mo-
give ample notice. 1t will be impossi
lie for any one stricken off to apply fol
reinstatement, the day for re
vision being passed. 1t looks very muct
like trick Of The Democratic manager
10 deprive some Republicans Of thei
vo.es. The lesson of the conviction AM
punishment Of seventy. six Of the Demo
cratic registration and election officers II
New Jersey only few months ago seem
sooa to be forgotten. Here is the la v
.sSaid officers Of registration shall with
three days. after the exploration Of their reslet
IS tive sit ings make, complete and publish tw
- alphabetical lists, one Of which aiPhabeiic'
lists shall comprise the names Of those pes ar
asofieaIa y q uicers have stricken from the q
