STKERENyILLE, o., October 81. The
main troR0le apparently with the registra-
ton law IS that II only makes provision for
the granting and receiving Of removal
certificates on the day before election be-
tween the hours Of three aud six O'clock
instead OF doing so on all the DAYS OF req.
istration. The hours named is lust the
time man is most busily engaged al his
work or business and could not attend 10
the matter. The result will be that large
number OF votes will be lost that would
otherwise be east. The intention Of the
law is 70 promote fair elections and afford
all legal voters a chance 10 cast their ballot
without annoyance and not TO dis.
franchise man, and while the
law is very plain on the matter.
IL is evident that the trainers inadvertently
neglected TO make provision for the re-
movals on other days, and great Injustice
is done and ia some cases considerable
hardship. for voters who have removed 10
other wards make application for removals
at the place OF registration aud failing 10
get them imagine that the Registrars are
the ones TO blame. II is universally recog-
nized that the law is wrong on this point
and why the Legislature does not amend IL
is past finding out In Columbus and other
cities this portion of the law is ignored and
removals are granted aud received every
day of registration, but here la Steubenville
the Board of Elections has endeavOred 10
observe the law as whole, and the result
is that hurrah has gone up from voters
and the law as whole is condemned.
whereas it would be different was il moi
for this one obnoxious feature. However.
the Board of Elections will hold meeting
at its rooms Monday night, and quite an
array of legal talent will be present the
object being TO devise some means 10 grant
removal certificates on next Friday and
Saturday, the two remaining days OF regis.
tration, as we'll as on Monday, November
6. without too open a violation OF the law.
The Board Of Directors having charge OF
the location Of the Ohio Pythian Home,
falling 10 come 10 an agreement by decid-
ing on location at the meeting held Ia
Cleveland last Monday, adjourned TO meet
at Springfield on next Tuesday. TIE roa-
son for meeting at Springfield was be-
cause that place had made a
new offer, namely, $4,000 In cash
and Twenty weight acres Of ground within
the corporation limits Of the place. While
il is probably not exactly fair for the direo-
tors 70 consider new offers, they can be ex-
cused because OF their anxiety 20 secure
the best advantages they can Tor the home.
While Il is now about a settled fact that

the Knights Of this city can be proud OF
their offer with the knowledge
that II IL had not been
for Steubenville no such offer as
that now made by Springfield would have
been received by the Directors and instead
of getting site for nothing they wouldhavo
had TO buy one at Springfield. No thanks
are due to Springfield for their magnificent
offer. That city gives nothing that Steu-
benville did not compel IL 10 give.
