From the names on his poll-book he culls out one- tenth. {n doing so he alins—or professes to nim—to select such persons as lie knows to be reputably men and to come within tho statu- tory provision regarding analifications above referred to, In order to seeure the required 10 per cent, however, it frequently happens that hes obliged to go outsido of those whom. he knows, personally or by reputation, and to select some whom he does not know. fn such eases he endeavors to ascertain the standing ofthe people about whose fitness or uniit- ness he Is puraonally ignorant, and Is guided. by the best Hight he enn obtain on the sub- fect, Consultation with men in his division ly one of the methods resorted to In order to obtain the desired Information, and tho City Directory 18 BY NO MEANS DESPISED ag an nid in this process of selection, Haviny secured his 10 per cent, he turns his selectet list of nmmnes over to the Clerk of the Bonrd, who copies each name in the lst on a enrd.” When each Comimisstoner docs this, the: Clerk has, or had last fall, about 8,000 cards, — representin; the names of one-tenth of the legal voters o!
