The-nominations made in

For Representative, Geo.

Anothe. primary will bo call

opposition to the primary
vent yon from voting in
next primary. This is
due your friends. The vote
in the first primafy far ex
ceeded the primary of two
years ago Some allege that
-a number of Republicans
'voted in the recent primary.
This may be true, but we
don’t know it to bejtrue. If
any . Republican voted in
this primary it was because
hewaa not challenged, and
the fault rests with those
who, knowingly allowed it,
and it is now too late to
;kiok.
• Some are dissatisfied with
MMlti. Some think they
were not treated fairly. This
may be true for we have never
known a primary conducted
to so it everybody, nor have
we ever known one, that did
not have behind it bitter rec
ollections of advantages tak
en by some of the friends of
candidates, even when the
eandiadates were fair towards
bach other. The primer en
genders a spirit of strife, end
a resort to any method that
will secure the nomination
of a candidate. The idea
senna to prevail that, "any
thing is fair in war," and
8hena«n’s definition of war,
is equally applicable to the
modern primary. All we
Saw of the management of
the poll holders and mana
gers of elections, justifies us
in saying that, justice, court,
esy and absolute fairness
wars eoospirious.

is fully in the extreme, to
seek it in a primary. Wo
freely admit that the pri

methods for fairness but it
famishes greater opportuni

la -vwarfare. But what has
