OUR CORRESPONDENCE.
A DEMOCRATIC INDEPENDENT
MOVEMENT AT HOMECOMING.
published BY REQUEST

EDITOR JoURNAL-Dear Sir AT
a meeting of the Hancock and English
club, held at the Peoples Hall Tues
day evening, important and decided
actions were discussed and passed,
some of which we wish to convey to
the public through the columns of
your valuable news medium.
We have decided to raise Han
cock and English pole at 5 o'clock on
Friday evening, September 10. At
this meeting motion was passed to
the effect that when this pole is raised
an additional straamer be attached,
bearing the following emphatic in
scription: mo Price IN Ours"
This is no empty, idle streamer, but
one calculated and intended to con-
vey tie impressive fact that we are
not, neither do we intend to be the
tools or stepping stones for corrupt
and uhprincipled ringster or ring.
We are clean, true, honest Demo
Gratis, who mean to denounce crooked
edness and ring rule at every occa-
sion aud with every opportunity.
We hope you will give us space for
this article.
Written by order of the Hancock
and English club of Nos. 10 and 10
districts, Homecoming, per

PoLITIcAL.-In this election dis
trict very little interest was taken in
the democratic primary last Saturday
evening. An organization was effect
ed, however, and Messrs. G. T. Bar
nard, A. Hole, Jr., Fl. R. Atkinson,
John N. Benson and Andrew Carney,
were elected by reclamation as dele
gates to the county convention on
Tuesday.
In No. IL spirited contest took
place, Messrs. James Finn, J. B.
McCulloh, James Cronly and John
Pfeiffer, of one ticket, and George
Horchler, of. the opposition, being
elected. -:

On Tuesday, in the county conven-

the prefer of some resolutions de-
nouncing Mr.. VIM. M. Price, chair
man of the State Central Committee
for the county and nominee for presi-
Dental elector. The chairman, j. B.
Ellegood, Esq, ruled them out Of
order as not germane to the business
of the convention. A tumult was
then raised, but was finally quelled by
the exertions of the chairman and the
majority. Messrs. Alex. King, Thos

Wilson, Asahel Wilson, 7. E. Con

The article concerning the action
of the Hancock and English Club of
Homecoming is copied from the DAILY
Ne,rs by printed request, emphasized
by letters from several private parties.
We are extremely sorry that affairs
in this connection have taken COM
plexion so adverse to Mr.. Price. AS
an Independent journal we strive to
avoid loaning our columns to political
purposes, particularly those which
embitter personal rivalries and antag-
onisms. When we do take part in
such matters it is in the interest of
elevating politics above the evils of
personal or partisan chickering's.
In the present instance, therefore,
while according all honesty to the
earnestness Of our Homecoming friends,
we regret that Mr.. Price, or indeed
any man, should have become the OBJ
ject of an expression through this
paper of SO much implied resentment.
In small measure our Homecoming
friends are responsible for Mr.. Prices
position upon the democratic elector-
al ticket. They chose delegates to
the county convention which selected
delegates to the State convention
which nominated Mr.. Price-dele-
gates who had more to say in that
matter than anybody else, Zone of
whom lives in Lonaconing,) and they
represented the people who sent them
there.
Under these circumstances, if our
friends think now they have made a
bad bargain it seems to us their true
policy is-to make, not the worst, but
the best of it.
AS we have repeatedly argued, this
whole matter goes back to an evil
which obtains in both parties-neglect
of the primaries By those opposed TO
"slate work." as it is termed by one of
our private correspondents. The con-
sequence is, representatives of the
popular will are not chosen; the in
struments of political cabals are pick.
ed up instead to serve the purpose of
mere ratification of selfish plans alleg-
ed to be previously 'cut and dried. >
And as long as this baneful system
holds good with the people SO long
should the people submit to its re,
suits.
That is our opinion without regard
to politics or politicians.

Special Notice.


The attention of taxpayers Is especially
called to the provision of the new Code of
Public General Laws, which says, emphat.
ically, that the collector shall collect and
pay over the taxes within six months after
receiving the looks, and in the event of
his failure to do so, he shlll be liable to
prosecution and severe punishment.
This means that the collector, havingIe.
ccived the tax books on the 3D. day of Au-
gust, 1890, is obliged by law, by his oath of
Office and by the bond he las given for the
faithful performance of his duty according
to law, ito collect and pay over the taxes
within six months" that is by tie third
day of February, 1881.
The collector hus no discretion in the
