NEXT FRIDHY:s PRIMARIEs

Some dissatisfaction is expressed al
the recommendation of our County
Executive Committee that only one
delegate be sent from each ward, OF
district, to the Clarksville Congression-
al Convention. The people are expect
ed at the same primaries to send to
our Legislative County Convention one
delegate for each hundred votes cast
for Revenue Collector Patterson. The
people understand this plan of repre-
sentation, and have become used to it.
AT these closing primaries they are
expected TO use. it again in re-
gard to one set of delegates,
and why not in regard to the
other set that 60 to Clarksville? 1t
may be thought that fifty delegates
could not be found to leave home for a
day. But Davidson county, rs the
wealthiest and most pOpulous in the
Congressional district, is certainly in
terested in being properly represented
at Washington-and therefore at
Clarksville. OF course, one or
two or dozen delegates could cast the
full vote of Davidson as well as half
hundred; but the voice as well as the
vote of our capital county ought to be
heard. We should send there men Of
ability and influence.

A FISHY STORY.
Detroit Free Press

The San Francisco Commercial Her
aid reiterates statement, first made
some time since by it, to the effect that
the Mexican Government had actually
submitted to the United States propo-
sition for the transfer to this country
of the section lying north of parallel
drawn from the mouth of the Rio
Grande to the Pacific Ocean. 1t as
serts that it received its infOrma-
ton from a reliable source, and
expresses the conviction that the
statement is true. 1t is said, as confirm
ing the truth of the report, that an an
lexation scheme is on foot, that lead
ing San Francisco eapitalistsarema making
extensive purchases IN the Mexican
States which would be included in the
transfer. The story has, nevertheless,
an exceedingly fishy look, and the
Mexican Government has never IN the
least exhibited a willingness to peace
fully part with territory, either to the
United States or any other country,
and there is nothing to show that a
new policy has been entered upon.
