Iu Attorney General Davidson's
Opinion.
Rai.i:k-,ii, Nov. 2. In Halifax, R. G.
Reid, registrar of Halifax township, was
arrested Monday. Two United States
supervisors, a Republican negro and a
Third party itc called on Real and de
manded his registration hooks in order
that they might insjiect them and make
copies. Kciu rciuscn 10 anow uie oooks
to lie insetted. Thereupon the super
visors telegraphed to A. W. Shaffer, chief
sujwrvisor at Raleigh, and the latter or
dered that Reid !c arrested and brought
before hira and not before any other
commissioner. Reid was brought here,
Shaffer claiming that only he had juris
diction. Jle required Rcidtogivc $1,000
bond for his appearance.
The arrest of Reid has caused intense
indignation among the Democrats mid
is declared to be worth 500 votes to
their party in Halifax county alone.
In answer to an enquiry made by reg
istrars concerning the power ol super
visors Attorney-General Davidson has
filed the opinion "That supervisors in
county and parish election districts have
not the right as such supervisors to
challenge voters or to take a list ol reg
istercd electors or to scrutinize ballots or
returns. In fact they have no duties to
perioral with respect to registration,
but simply to be in the immediate pres
ence of the officers holding the election
and witness all their proceedings includ
ing the counting of the votcsand making
the returns thereof. They have author
ity to make arrests, and these functions
pertain to election of congressmen."

Niiw IIavkn, Conn, Nov. 1!. lix-Judgi
II. Uynue Harrison ol this city lias re
signed Irom the Republican league, De-
cause "I could nol endorse the two lead
ing features of the present adininistra
tion, and especially because the position
taken by the party managers in Con
necticut uoon State issues is radically
wrong. Upon the subject of the tariff
1 consider the McKinlev tariff bill wrong
because it is constructed upon the the
ory of protection for the sake of protec
tion regartlless 01 revenue, ftianv 01 us
provision are unjust and burdensome
uoon the people.
I have believed since 1 laves withdrew
the troops horn Smith Carolina in '77,
that the time lor leueral legislation on
lections is pnsse.i. ' The strongest ob
jection to the force bill passed by tin
House in ls'.H), is that it is designed lor
one part ot the country only. New bug
land does not want federal interference
with elections, and we have no right to
impose uoon the people ol the South
system of federal supervision which we
do not need or ask for North. We need
a reform in the State constitution, and
the Democratic partv is committed to
it."
ludge Harrison served in both
branches of the legislature, and in
was speaker of the House. In 'S4 he
was chairman of the Republican State
committee.
J. I. K." Wasn't Two Years Alio,
aud Probably Isu'l Now.
Maks IIii.l, M. C, Oct. Ul. The evi
dence accumulates that cither 1'ritchard
or myself, one, is very badly looled as to
what Madison county will do iu On
coming election, Today 'sc.tcricnce has
strengthened my opinion that 1'ritchard
cannot get over 600 majority, with the
chances greatly in favor of it being less
than that.
One hundred and eighty mounted men
met us at the forks of Ivy this morning,
and, if possible they were more enthusi
astic than those ol other sections of the
district. 1'ritchard had arrived 011 the
ground before us, and I did not have a
chance to count his crow d. His friends
urn it numbered 1155, while another
authority put it at 1 K.
The crowd was the largest we have
ul iu the district, outside of county
towns, with the possible exception of
igeon river. It was a fine day lor the
Democracy. They were greatly enthused
by Crawford's speech, and came out
asily on top as to the crowd.
The Third party about Mars Hill has
bout dissolved, and it was so apparent
today that Brown is simply I'ritchard's
Assistant that there is little doubt that
II the Democrats will be back in line by
election day.
Instead ol 1'ritchard getting Demo
cratic votes, he can get bets in abun-
nnce down here that he will not get all
the Republican votes by a jug full in
Madison county.
Thetalkof Democrats swapping Craw-
rd off in Madison seems to have no
nidation so far as I can nslertain. I
had a talk with Tom Munay.thc Demo
ratic candidate lor Shentl today, and lie
ild me that he would withdraw from the
mvass before he would allow any of
Ins li lends to swap L raw lord oil lor a
otc lor mm. I he Democrats arc watch
ful, aud it will do no county candidate
niv good to have it found out that he
will even to'erate swapping Crawford or
my portion ol the Democratic ticket.
