The provision of Section i, Chapter 3700, Laws 1887, committing the matter of registration of voters for elections held thereunder to deputy registration officers appointed by the clerks of the Circuit Courts,' if not superseded by Chapter 3704, Laws 1887, was no longer in force after the passage of Chapter 3879, approved June 4, 1889.
