1t may be well to remark that
the white Republicans Of this neigh.
borhood have a grievance too. Here
is the statement of the record of the
gentleman recently appointed Assist
ant Postmaster of Richmond, Va. as
expounded by the Richmond. Va.
News-Leader, of September 29th:
The voting list OF the Second pre-
cinct Of Monroe ward. wherein Isa.
ian White Fuller resided at the time
OF the November presidential cleo
ton, fails TO show that Mr.. Fuller
cast a vote. Mr.. Fuller has been
registered as a voter in the Second
precinct OF Monroe since 1902, and
was transferred in June. 1909, a half
year after the presidential election,
TO the first precinct OF Clay ward,
where he lives now. His name now
appears on the registry list OF that
precinct.
Mr.. Fuller paid his capitation tax
for 1905, 1906, 1907 and 1908.
which entitled him TO a vote In the
November election, 1908, unless
through a change of residence he
had not lived the required time in
the new ward. But his transfer was
only recorded in June OF this year.
