To THE Enron: VIII you kindly answer
the following question through your col
umns: An unmarried man has for several
years lived and had an interest in bust
ness IN a certain precinct in this city.
About seven or eight months ago he went
down Sound to work, coming back once
in two or three months aud staying a few
days in the precinct. The last time he was
here was about two weeks ago, when he
stayed three days and registered Can he
come back and vote at the coming cleo
ton? SupscRfHER
The question 10 one of those which come
very close TO the line of doubt, and il is
difficult TO give satisfactory answer With
out a full, clear statement OF all the cir
cunstances. Much would depend upon
other matters not mentioned. Where one
leaves his place OF residence, even for SO
long as seven or eight months, wish the is,-
tentioH of returning to IL, his residence still
remains good. but that Intention must have
been expressed in some way. The case
had better be fully stated to lawyer
Capt. W. II. Ballard. one Of the most
conservative business men Of the city,
who has large property interests at stake,
has written the following letter declining
TO aid the citizens movement In putting
an independent ticket in the fisld:
ITO the Chairmaa Of the citizens' League:
! notice in the PosT-IsrELIIsEscEg this
morning that the league Of the Fourth
ward passed q resolution calling on the
committee of seven To nominate a ticket
not later than next Saturday; also that
was appointed on the permanent COM
mittee OF fourteen in my ward, on which
respectfully decline TO serve.
when ! signed this citizens'call, ii was
not my understanding that we would
good men were nominated on the other
tickets If IL Is the intention of the Citi-
zens' League 10 nominate q ticket at the
present time. il simply means the election
of the Democratic ticket, and to this |
certainly decline 10 he . party Yours
very truly, W. X. BALLARp."
The First Ward Republican Club meet
ing at $40 Yesier avenue last night was
well attended. and SO great was the inter.
est that scarcely man left the room until
the meeting was over. President Charles
Webher presided. and speeches were made
by Gilbert r. Little, William O'Donneil.
}. NJ. Frink. w. F.. Humphrey. Rev Mr..
Makiel, W. L. Scott, George +. DE steiguer
aud Thomas G. Marum. Most OF the
speakers confined themselves 10 local
issues, but Mr.. Humphrey, who made the
speech OF the evening, touched on national
affairs as we'll. Mr.. Markell said he did
not see how any colered man could vote
the Democratic ticket and he thought
that most of those who do are prompted
by personal gain rather than principle.
The next weekly meeting is to be held
next Tuesday evening. when the executive
COMMITTEES will report the list of candi-
dates to be voted for at the primaries the
following evening.
The seven wise men constituting the
nominating committee of the Citizens
Municipal League have as vet not deter
mined finally upon single name to go
apon their ticket. All that has been done
so far is merely tentative. the chief diifi-
Guilty arising from the unwillingness of
tirst-class men. such as the committee
would like 70 select, TO accept a nomiua-
,ion. II is hoped. however. that at the
meeting of the committee today some
thing will be determined. The commit
teemen are very 10th 10 engag, In the
