OMAHA, oct. @.-To the Editor Of The

over and inasmuch as our democratic city
clerk. has, (since his re-election) repeatedly
boasted of the horrible things he would

the thankless position Of supervisor? If

space to give the experience Of one Of that
number, who although never very tardy in
the prosecution Of it's duties. was inveigled
into accepting the same for another year
by the false representations made at the
city clerks office.

chief clerk II l would servo another year for
my. precinct. / answered in the negative,
but subsequently consented to serve. CAL

october 5th, last. and asking an explanation
Of an apparent Reputation Of the condi-

those who devote fifteen to eighteen hours

the supervisors are provided always with
the proper blanks so that the proper copy
can be made for public inspection Of all new
names added; let him sec that the rsgistra-
ton offices are habitable and fairly warm;
let him make the rounds and show himself
upon registration day and famlliarize him
self with conditions; but no, he leaves II
all to another, and what he says goes, see
