MAN AND THE APE.
Or. Spencer Trotter illustrates Points OF
Resemblance and Dissimilarity.

DR. spencer Trotter of Swarthmore col
| legc delivered an illustrated lecture at the
Academy Of Natural sciences on animal
Characteristics of Man
I'm his hrmn structure, said DIR. Trot'
ter man = evidently closely allied with
the ape and the difference between man
ana any OF the higher apes in this respect

And as Huxley says The difference IN

the most remarkable OF these evanesceny

greater development of the brows and ia

In conclusion, DIR. Trotter said that.

last year was large, indeed somewhat larger
than was expected, the figures show that
many who were entitled to register omitted
this important duty, and consequently took
no part in the election.
earnestly call on all such democrats to
repair now their neglect of last year and to
put themselves in position TO aid their
party In recovering our temporarily lost as.
cendancy-they owe this duty to themselves
their party and their state. With our whole
vote registered and cast there ought not to
be any doubt Of our success. Only supine-
ness and indifference can defeat us this year
The first step in our campaign is to make
the registration of our voters full and com
plete. To this end every man who under
the Constitution and law is qualified to vote
should consider it point of personal and
political obligation and honor to have his
name duly registered without delay, and
should stimulate bis neighbors and acqualnt'
ances to let nothing interfere with their
performance of this necessary duty. Our
several county organizations are earnestly
requested to give this matter consideration
and careful attention. The names of MI
persons who ought to be but are not regis,
tered sho1ld be accordingly ascertalned and
they should be urged to go TO the proper
offices and be registered. This work cannot
be done too thoroughly, too systematically
or too soon. Sub. committees in each pre-
cinct Of each election district should be ap.
pointed charged with the responsibility of
ascertaining the names of all non registered
their respective precincts These sub com
mlttees should report to full committees for
each election district and these should in
turn report to the several county committees
from whom reports should be sent to the
State Central Committee. In this way and
in this way only can the condition of each
election precinct be definitely and accurately
ascertaired and adequate steps be taken to
bring out the fullest possible registration of
our voters.
There is reason to believe that the regis
tration books contain many names which
should not be upon them. These also should
be thoroughly and diligently scrutinized and
the books completely purged of all who are
not really qualified voters.
For the purpose Of additional registration
and revision the registration Offices in the
counties will be opened on Tuesday, the
2Sth day of September inst and Tuesday,
the 9th day Of October prox., flom 8 a m.
until p. m. For the purpose of revision
only they will be opened on Tuesday, Octo-
Der 18th prox, from 8 Il. m. until 7 p. N. AT
this sitting no new names can be added.
During these stlings ample time will be
given to register every qualified voter and
to purge the registration books of last year
OF every improper. erroneous, disqualified
or fraudulent name.
Upon the complete performance of this
essential work our success depends.
While feel assured that the Democrats
of the counties will do their duty in these
particulars, cannot too earnestly impress
upon them the necessity of doing it most
thoroughly and earnestly.
MURRAY VANDIVER,
spt232t Chairman.
