Section Fourth of the rubs and regulationti of the Ito publican party In this county reads as follows: . SEc.4. Thdprimary election for nominating oindidates shall be held at the usual place of holding primary meetings In each district en the last Saturday In May in each year, and shall be opened at 2 o'clock' p. m., and close in .the townships at 7 o'clock p.

But suppose the power did rest in the handS of the committee. would it be proper, under all the circumstane to use HI One of the objects sought to be reached by the popular vote system of nominating candidates to get as many persons as passible to attend theprimary meetings. The last of May is usually a black time with the farmers, and they would be more likely to come otkut that time than at any other during -the whole summer. The fratneni of the rules and regulations of our party 31 , doubt realized this when they diced the time permanently "on the last Saturday In May in each year."— Change the time now, And put It off until the middle or hod of June and the farmers will: he imug_lit in the midst of their clover lia'y hardest, , and hundreds of them will thus 'be kept away from the primary meet- ings who would, under other elreinn stances, willingly and gladly attend. With these absent the ' boroughs would nominate the candidates, the ticket would be unsatisfactory, trou ble would arise, and in all probabili ty defeat would follow. Then; too, the arguments of tho opponents of the popular vote system would .be verifled., They always csintentie4 that the bliroughs would havean'ad vantage, and if they obtain it this year by having the primary meetings held at a time when not more than one half of the country people ran attend theni; we will very quickly hear them say "I toltryou so."! Let us hope then, that the county committee vill' not be governed in this matter by the willies oV one or two candidates, . but that their action will tend to promote the interests of the whole Republican party of the county. -.E• • rm.-- A TEititiom: civil war is raging in Fratax..
