THE RuMp coMMITTEE's WORK.

The Republican Executive Committee. at its
meeting held In Baltimore on Saturday last, SGT
aside the action Of tho State Central Committee
by designating different day for holding the
primary meetings in the IL, and 18th districts
from the one Fixed by the latter committee. This
evolutionary proceeding cannot possibly be sane
toned BY the State Central Committed. whOse in
s,ruetions are mandatory, for u Il did Il would
stultfy itself. The delegates elected TO the Con-
gressionai and Judicial conventions BY the suf-
frages Of those who will DO voted for aud elected
on day different from the one fixed BY the State
Central COMMITTEES, will not DO legally chosen and
can properly be excluded from participating in
those conventions. which seems to be the object
intended by changing the day. The Republican
voters Of the lst and 18th districts should hold
their primary meetings on Saturday, September
seth, the day 6xei by the State Central Com
mi,,ee for holding them, for by carrying out the
directions Of the paramount body they will es-
cane the dilemma In which their enemies outside
Of tho districts are eOnspiring with the Republican
Executive Committee Of the county TO place them.
We would advise that the question be submitted
10 the Chairman Of the State Central Committee
at once for his decision and secure his endorse
ment Of the course to be pursued by the Republic
cans Of these two districts In order 90 avoid the
dangers to which this rump county Committee Il
exposing them for sinister purposes. The orders
Of the State Central Committee should be Obeyed
In preference to those Of a subordinate body that
has never had legal origin. We have, for the
sake OF peace and harmony. heretofore counselled
submission TO the reasonable demands Of thi,
rump county Executive Committee. but when il
aroga,es TO itself the power to SC, aside the &C.
tion Of the State Central Committee Of the Re.
publican party IL means neither peace nor har.
mony and we counsel resistance TO It's revolution
airy course. Republicans Of the LIT and 18th dis
,ris,s. hold your primaries on the Soih Of sePiem'
Der. the day Delegated BY the State Central
Committee.
AT late hoar-,oo late for Us TO publish the
letters this week-we received the correspondence
which took place between a member o: the conr'
" Executive Committee and Hon. Henry stock
bridge, chairman Of the State Central Committee
as to whether the Baltimore county COMMITTEE,
had right to change the date Of holding the pri
maries after the same had been liked by the STATE
Central Committee. Mr.. s;Oekbridge Is very em
pha,ic on thi. Poin; And .ays when the date hA
