Alr. r. J. Wade who was one or the
registrars under the new registration
law, and in whose place another regis
trar was appointed by Judge Falligant
stated yesterday that he was surprised
10 know that he had resigned. as he had
never written or sent I'm a resignation.
Mr. Wade told Judge Falligant about
the matter, and the judge explained that
he had made the appointment Of Mr.
John D. Charlton on the supposition that
he had resigned. He had understood Mr..
Wade to make the statement that he
could not attend to the duties of his pres
ent office, that of superintendent of the
county roads, and those Of a registrar.
too. and on this account he would resign
the latter office.
This occurred some time ago. and Judge
Faligant has been waiting for nominal
tons to be made The name of AIr. Charl-
ton was placed in nomination by several
gentlemen. without regard TO party or
faction, it is stated. and as this was the
only nomination made. Mr.. Charlton re-
ceived the appointment
No further action was done in the mat
ter yesterday. but this leaves the faction
that Mr.. Wade was appointed to repre-
sent without representation, TO which it
enters objection. No official communica-
ton has as yet been sent to Judge FaIi-
giant with regard to the matter. Mr. Wade
has not notified him officially of the mis-
take about his resignation, nor has he
been asked to make any change in the
appointment.
The judge has the power to remove a
registrar and make new APP
pointment at any time with
or without cause. and of course,
II he saw fit he could make any changes
necessary. Just what viii be done about
the matter is not known as yet, but the
time IN which action can be taken is
short on account of the fact that the
registrars will within a day or two have
corrected list of the voters for use at the
polling places.
1t is hardly probable Judge Falligant
will take any further action in the matter
until some communication is sent him by
those interested. but as the interest IS
more than an ordinary one. it is likely
that something will be done in the matter
without delay.
The copied lists of registered voters
which were being prepared by the no fence
people have been completed. one of the
lists has been turned over to that side,
and the other has been left with Capt. j.
]. McGowan, the tax collector, for the
fence people, where it is at their disposal
and they can have it any time they call
for 1t.
1t is said by those who have looked over
the lists that not more than $50 people are
registered from the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh
and Eighth militia districts These are
the country districts, and it was from them
that the heaviest vote in favor of fence
was expected to come. 1t is said that if
there is a full vote on the day of the cleo
ton there will be no doubt about the no
fence side winning the election by a ma
1ority of 800 to 1900 votes.
