The action OF the county democratic exec.
utire at iiigginsville. last Monday
IN refusing to change the time of holding the
primary election 10 nominate county officers
was. we think, eminentlY wise. 1t is AWAY:
unsafe tG make such changes. 1t creates An
uncertain feeling as to the preliminary action
OF Il committee which is fatal to harmony II

Will always be candidates who think they
may be benefited who will endeavor tn secure
Il change. IL creates another uncertainty
were all other objections removed, that tn,
first date having been largely promuIgate,
it is difficult TO fix the second date in tn,
minds of the people, In this case a very bat
precedent was sought To be set-the accom-.
mediation OF a date set for the nomination O
twenty candidates to that fixed for one; An,
that at IA time not nearly so convenient fo
The farming community. Whatever persona

duty to stand by the action of the e.ecu,iy,
committee, and to do all in their power I.

''hH Il NSiN altlt Lake advantage OF an
iniiscretions or dissenSiOns in the democra,i
party. Their newspapers instead of aJy,nc
ing principles and reasons why their part
deserves restoration TO power are engaged il
the much more ignOble work Of CAUSING zeal
Oisy and bad feeling between indiyidua
democrats. Instead of appealing TO The in
telligence of voters they are play ing the IA,
Of gossip peiIlers and scandal breeders
mischief makers. The character of sucb
canvass can only be surpassed in degraJa,io
by party and personal acts which woul
make them of practical effect. We do M
know who will he nominated. We b,v,
made 10 canvass of the matter. As "A uuestio
of fact and of subsequent action it shoul,
make no difference to democrats; but eac
should say. u will tight for my choice at IN

my power TO secure harmony and succes
for the democratic party This is lb
right spirit. Men are but little when com
pared to the welfare OF a great politic,
party. whose life depends primarily upo
the strength and symmetry of its fouuda

personal end, the qualification of person;
spites or enmities.
