Rehs was miner, and knows what
rights they ought to have. He is
now in business and also knows the
interest of merchants and business
men of the county. He has both
qualifications combined and will work
for their interest. He is not a candi-
date of any sect, class, corporation,
or any association whatever, but of
the whole democratic party. l am
sure, on account of his large popu-
larity and extensive dealings with
the people that if nominated by the
democratic county convention that lie
will be elected.

1t will be seen that republican
convention, thus constituted, would
consist of eixty-two delegates, the
democratic ffty-four-in each case
number amply sufficient to ratify
the party's edicts expressed at the
primaries. The majority will enjoy
all its rights, the minority all it is en-
titled to.
Objections will be urged against
this system, we know, but they could
hardly come from other than the pro-
fessionals in politics. The voters,
really concerned in good government
and good officials, would realize that
their sufrages amounted to something
as controlling public measures for the
public good.

JAPANESE miners have some curious
customs which sadly depreciate the

peculiar manner. Every man enter.

FRosTBURG, MD, SEPT. 10, 1888. .


FRosTBURG, MD, SEPT. 10, 1888.
TIE primary system is undergoing
some criticism just now. 1t deserves
It. As the fountain-head OF political
movements, it is probably the most
important of all because its integrity
as the original expositor of the peo.
pls's wishes eds to be guarded and
maintained. The system as it ex-
lists in both the great parties in Alle-
gany county could be vastly improved
by the participation of all the voters
Of the party, not only at the polls,
but especially in the formation or
construction Of tickets to represent
them in county conventions. The
absence of q large element-ons
mostly interested in good govern
msnt-from the incipient proceedings
is at the bottom of very much of the
trouble there is growing out of the
system.
And thsn the convention as at
present constituted is not correctly
founded upon the will of the majority.
It is composed of ssventy.6ve dele
gates, yet il is possible by combina-
ton for twenty-four delegates to name
a candidate. That is to say-it is
possible for three delegstes-a major
ity-from each of eight districts
a majority Of districts-to combine
and nominate a man that the other
ffty.one delegates do not want. 1t
is possible, moreover, for them to
nominate an entire ticket against
the wishes of the great majority.
This is made available by the dis
franchisement of sixteen delegates,
itself great outrage upo popular
and representative rights.
In the first place the field should
be thrown wide open to every man
who harbors an aspiration to serve
the people. If he be candidate for
sheriff the party authorities should
afford him ample opportunity for his
name to be seen at every polls, and
let those who favor him vote direct,
and let the delegates, chosen at the
same time, afford him the enjoyment
in convention of whatever strength
he has developed. A faithful, honest
record in convention of this character
will take away frsm members of con.
ventions the profession Of traders and
bartersrs, and endow them with their
true functions as merely registers Of
the msjority's will.
1t is believed, too, that the plan of
allowing each district five delegates
is unfair to those polling heavy votes,
and invests light districts with
power incommensurats with their i'm.
portance. A district polling thirty
republican votes at general election
is as potential in convention as one
polling Eve hundred. To the true
representative idea this is intolerable.
A fairsr plan would be to grade them
according to strength give each del
sgats a vote and each district as
many delegates as the district has
earned at the last preceding general
election. Say that we make fifty
voters and each fraction entitled to
a delegate, the representation in
county convention would be as fol-
lows, taking the vote of 1882 as the
basis:
