Men who had lived and Voted in one ward for ycars suddenly found that their names had been stricken from the lists, and that they could obtain no redress. In a number ihe wards on the opening of the polls no tices were served upon reform judges and clerks that their appointments had been re- voked. The orders were signed 4 Marriot Eoswell, clerk, and by subsequent nQuiry in some cases the erder was found to have been issued without the anthority of the commis- sioners. By these and other means the polis were in many of the wards almost entirely under the coutrol of the dominant party, aud in some cases the ballot box was kept of the view of the voter.
