A few minutes after the Board OF Election
the questions between themselves and the
Registrar were decided.
The commission backed down gracefully.
On motion of Auditor Smiley the follow
ing resolution was unanimously passed:

isted, and still exiss, regarding tile respective
rights OF the Board OF Election Commissioners
and the Registrar OF Voters In regard to the

That settled the whole dispute. and an
hour later teams were engaged in hauling
the paper so long stored in the Mayors
office to the official printers.

type and order Of arrangement.
The only other business transacted at the
morning session was the hearing of few
citations, the appointment of some election
officers aud the hearing OF protest from
J. j. Dwyer
The attorney for the Democrats objected
to the rather wholesale way in which ex-
cuses to serve on the Election Boards were
being accepted.
After hearing the remonstr trance the board
decided that all excuses should be heard in
open court and none granted without suf-
ficient cause.
In the afternoon the few minutes of the
session were taken up in hearing excuses
TO serve on the boards, and a remonstrance
by Attorney Phillips for the Non Partisans.
Mr.. Phillips had applied TO the board for
the appointment OF number OF special
deputie. TO assist In purgng the great
register of the crowd OF suffers" who are
expected to vote for their Ihird-stTeet en-
plOyers on Tuesday week.
He also wanted TO have counsel appointed
10 defend the cases Carroll Cook is trying
to bring IN the Supreme Court
He was hardly allowed a hearing, how
ever, and the board adjourned until tonight
out of respect to the memory of the late
Mrs Harrison.
