The Hickman Courier attributes the
success of Col Turner in the last three
Congressional elections TO the hostility OF
the reopls OF the district to conventions,
and makes the suggestion, by way of a
settlement of the question, that IL is the
Ju,y OF the District Committee TO give mp
their rlaces aud let new committee be
elected by the people. 1t thinks the pres
ent committee SHOULD call primary cleo
ton in each county TO elect new com
miiiee TO take their places.
If we are not mistaken, there is no
warrant in the rules Of the party for that
method Of selecting the committee; and
there is certainly no warrant fo~ the Dis
trici committee 10 order such an election.
- Paducoh Nesrs,
There s certainly some warrant for the
Democratic PARTY being democratic, and
there-is no use higgling over the fact that
a majority Of the party have, in three
successive elections declared in favor OF
the primary election plan Of party organ
ization. We utter not one word of dis
courtesy or reproach TO the party COM
mittees, but simply suggest. for them
10 gracefully acknowledge the voice of
the Democratic voters. Whether Turner s
majority was obtained from others than
democrats, brings up rrui,less war Of
words aud can only end in contrary opin-
ions; aud, more than this, perpetuate di-
vision in he party.
The dsties of party committees are
troublesome, sometimes expensive, and
thaukless Mt best, and how shy self re-
specting democrat can even consent, much
less persist ia holding on to such author
ity after majority of the party have
three times disapprovei of their action
ut the polls, is something we do not COM
prehend.
In a short time the Democrats of the
several counties Of this District should
take steps TO send delegates to the State
Convention TO nominate candidate for
Governor and other State officers. Shall
the present committees assume TO call
these county conventions. when n rA~iar-
49, .s .,.e nssaesr~.ie xoters have voted
tees are nothing more than corrupt rings
and sii9xes If they desire to plead guilty
10 such charges, If they really have ia
vori,ss 10 reward axes to grind, why
let them hold on to their authority as COM
mitteemeni but the Courier washes lite
hands of such assumption.
The Nsrs is correct, no doubt, in assum
ing hat there is no warrant in the rules
OF the party for the election of Dis
tiiet Committee by primaries in The coun-
tics 1t is the County Committees we
want elected by primaries, and when thus
elected by the people the new County
Committeeman will chose their respective
chairme", and these new chairmen will
constitute the District Committee.
