In support of the above opinion of the
Attorney-General, which leaves no doubt
whatever as to what the convention In
tended when framing the ordinance,
those Of Hon. Eli Carter and Hon. Eppa
Hunton. Jr., are printed below.
Mr.. Carter sent Mr.. Holderby the fol-
lowing letter yesterday, in answer to an
inquiry on the subject:
Richmond, Va, Sept. 1s 1902.
Mr.. A. r. Holderby, Jr.. Richmond, Va:
Dear Sir,-In reply to your request I
write to say that I have seen the opinion
OF William a. Anderson, Attorney-Gen
raj of Virginia, in reference to the right
OF inmates of the Soldiers Home in your
county to register and vote in Henrico.
and that agree with him entirely.
Yours truly, HILL CARTER.
MIR. HUNTON CONCURS.
When seen yesterday by Times re-
porter and asked for his opinion on the
subject, Hon. Eppa Hunton, Jr., said:
Il have read the opinion of Attorney
General W. a. Anderson as to the mean
ing or Section "a OF the new Constitu-
ton. and I must fully and heartily con
cur in it in every particular. In my
view Of the matter there is no other rea-
sonable construction which could be
placed upon the language contained in
the section
MI. EGGLFSTONS VIEW.
Secretary of the Commonwealth D. c.
Eggleston who is regarded as one of tho
strongest lawyers IN the State, and who
was an able leader in the Constitutional
Convention. said last night that he was
clearly of opinion that the Attorney
General had taken the proper view OF
the case. and that the convention intend
ed in framing the ordinance on suffrage
that the inmates of charitable institu-
tons and students in colleges should not
be allowed to register and vote simply
by reason OF their being at such insti-
tutions.
It should be stated. however that all
those quoted above hold that tbs parties
mentioned have the unquestioned right
to return to their former homes and
register and vote.
The question which Will come up at
shumaker's to-day is a pretty one. and
will likely be heard from again later on.
