To the Editor fJ Iht 1ftbnnE.
HYDE PARK, Sept. 16-The Republican Con-
gressional Committee Of the First District,
or some deputy acting for them, have
fallen into serious error, or worse,
in prescribing for the primary selcc-
tion Of Congressional delegates. In their
published call and appointment Of the delegates
they very Justly allow the city wards and out
lying towns Of the districts to hold their pri-
maries at their usual places Of voting.
The Towns Of Hyde Park and Lake are made
exceptional to this, Lake being allowed to vote
at such place or places as she may elect for pop
ular convenience. Poor Hyde Park, on the con-
tFary, with population of some 5000 lnhabit-
ing district IL miles in extent, is prescribed
and limited to single primary poll, notwith-
standing the public convenience requires and is
allowed some tive or more legal votingdlstricts
and polls in the town.
Gentlemen Of the Committee, the Rcpub-
lican electors Of Hyde Park enter their vigorous
protest against this virtual disfranchisement of
o large majority Of our people,-for the primary
selections under our partisan methods have be-
come equal or paramount in Importance to our
legal elections. And the man that robs or Oh
structs the citizen III the exercise Of his primary
privilege as good as robs him of valuable legal
vested right. This thing must be riglltcl, or
the indignant Republican voters Of Hyde Park
will go for the top root Of this bad business.
Give uE, gentlemen, at the least poll at Oak
land, at Hyde Park Station at Grand Crossing,
and at South Chicago, and your relatore will,
etc. Pro Bono PUBL1co.

semble the angels of light, and no
