When the Marshal and his associates entered the cell

OUR PRIMARY TiNGs.

The Republican Ward Assoc atoms are called to
meet at their several headquarters at p. IN. on
the 10th iDst.-one week from to-day-tO choose
by ballot Delegates to represent them In the State
Convention which meets at Syracuse on the 22d
inst. for the nomination of Presidential Electors
and s. ate Officers. In Assembly Districts COM
prisipe more Than one Ward, Ward Delegations 10
meet and choose Delegates to Syracuse are re-
ouired TO be chosen. Each Ward Association Is
REQUIRED to advertise its meeting in at least two
daily papers, and-though that is not required
we trust one of our German Republican papers
will be smopg those selected in each instance.
Let all be duly notified.
There always is and we suppose always will be,
complaint that Primary Meetings are managed no.
fairly but the Republican organization is such
that frauds can hardly be- 30 general or so fragrant
with us as with other parties. AS no one can vote
at these meetings who is not, and has not been for
at least one week an enrolled member of the Asso.
citation Of his Ward, We see not how ftauds can be
committed where reasonable vigilance is exerted
The persons entitled to vote in each instaI CO are
fixed and known no votes from others can be re-
ceiyed without glaring fraud; aod a poll of FIVE
hundred yetes or over where smaller number Of
yyters staDd enrolled Cd the Associations books,
should suffice TO yitiate the election. If the mem
beIs will only present themselves to claim and
maintain their rights, false returns must be rare
But here is the real difficulty: 1t is easier to
complain of a wrong than to prevent it. Whlle
the JsDizaIies of poltics--thOse who seek to make
a LIVING by Office or by controlling nominations
and appontments-are always alert and always on
hard, the great of quiet, unambitious citizens
are habitualy needless and inattentive. Those
who have an :" AK to grind" at a Primary Meeting
are never reniss; Willie those who have noGe other
than public, unselfsh ends to serve, are too apt to
be careless ard absent When too late to be of
any use, they beslir themselves to grumble aud to
protest that they will bolt the ticket if or is
Il, minated, when they might have prevented any
such nomination had they but given due heed at
the proper time.
We 90 not know that very great or general in.
tertst is felt in the selection of delegates to SYRIA
cuse; wherefore we are the more anxious that all
who can shall attend these meetings. The smart
fellows who make business of politics. and whose
pride it is to fix things" luxur, tie in tins Of
general inaction and unconcern. Your Incidence
is their opportunity. They can display power aud
secure advantage precisely in proportion to the
general apathy. The attendance at primary
meeting of all who have right to be there reduces
them to their proper impotence and insgnifcance.
Republicans of our City see that they do not
catch you asleep on Friday evening of next
week
