 The registrars and deputies are at work getting the voting list in shape for the board of registration which will sit on September 2S. There are over l, 100 applications, but as usual it is likely that many of them will be | thrown out for one reason or another. 1 The number of applications in the sev- eral wards as far as can be ascertain l ed at present are as follows: First, | 214; second, -180; third. 139; fourth, 1 3S5; fifth. 1S3; total 1.167. The demo- crats feel satisfied over the returns and no wonder seeing that they are believed to have at least twe-t thirds of | the applications to be made on their side of the house. The next move Is to see that all who are eligible will be | put through and in order to do this some plan should be agreed upon by both parties to bring the applicants in | early in the day. If this Is not attend 1 ed to several will have to go over until l next year. This should not be so. I>Every eligible candidate should be ad- mitted to the franchise on time to vote at the coming election even though l many of the new men might make the mistake of allowing themselves to be talked into voting for the nominees of the republican party. They'll know better the next time
