Board.


The Dispatch on Tuesday morning
printed the names OF the newly-appolnted
registrars and judges Of election The
list shows that the Electoral Board mace
great many changes making IN the
registrars and Judges for this year. This
fact has not escaped comment amons
those who deal in local politics. II is con-
tended that a great proportion OF the new
men put down in the Democratic column
voted in the last election for Palmer ano
Buckner. and that in these instances reeu.
lar Democrats were ousted. There were
changes. OF course, in the Republican
column, but no special significance is at
tached to them.
The gentlemen composing the electoral
Board are Messrs. w. j. Westwood
chairman, Thomas Elicit (secretary). ana
Il. t. Pemberton. Whether these gentle
men will be asked to reconsider some or
their appointments is not yet apparent.
but one fact is plain. that by another
combination of Botocrats and Ropubn-
cans in certain precincts, the odds would
be against the Democratic party 80 tar
as judges and registrars are concerned.
A few OF the changes simply made
judge a registrar, or vice versa. but most
of them put in new men entirely, this
especially being the case i'm Jackson Ward.
where all the old men were turned out.
