CoNyENTIoNs.-Gen Sam Houston in de-
elning to have his name go before the
Charleston Convention, took occasion to de-
nounce Conventions generally He says they
do not reflect the will Of the people, but only
of the wire workers of party. Well, the
wire-workers Of party always will rule,
whether in Conventions or out of them. If
the mass OF the party refuse to attend to the
preiminaries of elections and the business of
conducting them why, then, it is somebody's
part to do it for them, and the wire. workers
ate those who perform the service. There
must be system and order about elections.
The people cannot speak out with one ac-
cord in favor of some particular nomination,
because they viii everlastingly disagree,a and a
dozen eandidates of the same party would be
in the field at one and the same time dividing
the strength of the party. The only correct
\ plan is to nominate the man whom the ma
jority select and unite the whole party upon
him,
The fault with Conventions is not that they
are necessarily corrupt or packed or fixed
up. The fault is in the manner in which the
primary elections are conducted. And after
all, the people could easily regulate that, il
they would only attend to their own inter-
ests instead of leaving it to the few who
think and act for them
Sam Houston could very we'll afford to re-
fuse the use of his name in the Charleston
Convention, for he had no earthly chance for
a nomination.
