there ia no room for donbt m to their gmlt, haa
aroused deop indignation in tbia oity. For once all
the newapapers are agreed in denouuclng the
" miatrial " aa a mockery of juatice. With the Ex.
position depending apon Northern and Weatera
vmitors for anpport, and now readr alraoat to cot
lapse hecauM of iniamanagement, the peoplo fnlly
realize that they ean not aflord the diagraco which
muat follow the failuro to convict Judge Ford and
hia accompltcea for a wanton mariler of a political
opponent. But the result causea no snrpriae aniong

Kegiatrar of Voten, who ia ap-poiutod hy tlie Gov

ippoiuta all Ihe election ollicera. It ia their

aud n tu: ti tlie result to tho Regiatrar, while he
OOWBaha it for offlcial promulgation.
There ia ouly ouo plaee for the regiatmtion of

Ifegietrur ia iupposod to striko ol tho*j peraona who
have died or removed, or otborwi+o lost their ii/!ii

law to regi.ster auybody who takes the oath except

had canvasscrs aworn, occording to tho provisione
of tho State law, and they iuvestigated each uatue
on tho list of rcturued circulara. They fouud that
:Ji5t of tho namea wero of peraona who were d.-jd,
