This is;the first time in the history of the county that regular primary meet ings have been held in every precinct.

I desire to say that there I has been no man mentioned for this j positior that in my opinion wou'd be more aejceptabte to the working men of the State. I suppose it is taken for granted that Gen. Roberts will not.be a candid3'e for re-nomination as he has served the "usual eight years." j If this is so, hope Senator Mclver 'iwill be selected for his suc cessor. He is worthy and he is capa ble, and would be satisfactory to the workingmen of the party. While in the Senate he would be seriously ' missed.it is but just that a man who has proved himself so fully devoted to tbe people's interest, thould be promoted. I watched his course in the lastiSenate and wa3 pleased to see hinij on the side of the people on every qbestion, whether it wus rail road commission, convict labor, road law, or whatever the matter in winch labor wM interested, ho was ever true to the people nm Kii xr i n workingmen and against monopolies, In the approaching campaign the labor vdte will be no small factor. If the party is wise thev will place upon the ticket men like Senator Mclven, of Mod'e, whose public acts have btien such aa to commend him to the favorabje consideration of every siderable business experience, lie is very popular with all classes, I am told, in his own, congressional dis trict, where the family of "Macks'" ! are w numerous.
