IN OTHERS THE BOARD IS DEMOCRATIC
The Wishes Of County Charmen and Others
Were Consulted in Making the Ap-
pointments. Changes in the
State Board

The State Election Board neld a
meeting at the Marlborough House
yesterday morning and appointed an
election board for every county in the
State, as provided by law.
The first business transacted was
the acceptance of the resignation OF
Mr.. w. B. Pollard, of Forsyth, who,
on account of i'll health, has never
been able to attend a meeting OF the
board. To fill the vacancy, Mr. E. ii.
johnson, also of Forsyth, was chosen,
and he Immediately qualified.
All the members of the board were
therefore present, but Mr.. Robt. ID.
Gilmer. on account Of his being a can
didate for State office, was excused
from taking part in the deliberations
of the board. At its next session-the
first Monday in July-he will resign
and his successor be elected
In selecting the three members OF
the county boards no rule was fol-
lowed except that prescribed by law,
viz: that they shall be discreet
men, In some counties all the three
are Democrats; in others there are
two Democrats and one Republican or
Populist. But in no county have the
Fusionists majority on the board
In making up the list the wishes of
the Democrats of the county were
consulted; where an entirely Demo-
cratic board was asked, it was given;
but if it was deemed best that the
other side be given minority repre-
Il On n <
was put on with two Democrats.
The board used its best discretion in
appointing the boards and it believes
those appointed will prove satisfac-
tory to a ma jority of the people OF
their county
