From TaIbert's Precinct.

Mr.. Editor ~ Pursuant to the
call of the Democratic Executive
Committee Of Amite county, we
people, called Democrats, met at
our respective precincts on the 25th
day Of May, to decide whether we
should have a nominating con-
vention, primary election, or free
race. AT our (Talbert's) precinct
meeting, the contest was between
convention and free race, as there
8ere only very few in favor of
primary election. ! was among
the few il favor of the latter. Our
delegates to the county convention,
held on May 9th, were instructed
to vote for a convention, and ac-
cording to the published minutes
Of that days proceedings, carried
out those instructions. AS many
| of us look at the matter, the con-
vention should then have adjourn
ed, as it had completed the business
for which it was called together.
Any other business transacted by
that body was supererogatory, and
consequently not binding on the
people-the only source Of auLhori-
ty and power. But this convention
passed a motion to the effect that
the vote at the precincts should be
npro.rated," that's the word used.
The motion simply reads, "That
each candidate for the various
offices come up to the county con-
vention with the full vote.' Now,
what's the meaning Of this? Simply
that the full vote at the primaries
} be sent up to the county convention
and there counted. 1t is indefinite
and incomplete, in that it does not
J say what else shall be done. Can
any one of the delegates Of the
} convention that passed this motion
i, define the difference between the
method here proposed Of holding a
D convention, and a straight out
primary election? That motion
D simply resolved the convention
plan out of existence and installed
a primary election in its stead. I
D we follow the dictates Of that con.
vention, we will hold primary
y election on the 9th day Of July
Now the question arises, Are. the
people going to be governed by the
0 behests of a convention that hal
undone its own work, the very
y work they were commissioned t.
o do, or are they going to follow thu
heretofore accepted plan of holding
0 a convention? The Democrats o
Amite county certainly know how
y to hold convention. Let us have
o an expression from all the precincts
in time SO that we may act ii
0 concert, either accepting Or ignoring
. the motion passed by the con
( vention of May 9th. If we ignor,
it, we carry out the expressed
wishes ofthe county democracy; j
3 we accept it, we do but stultify
( ourselves. Thia is from primary
election man, and one who aspireI
5 to no Office, but who believes tha
the voice of majority should con
D troll. Before closing let me say
: that hope our conventions Of thu
9th and 9th days of July will b,
5 conducted as becomes enlightened
and patriotic citizens. Let US worl
D together harmoniously for the bes
: interests Of our dear old county
CIv1s.

oHIoAGo's ARBE1TER BUND.
Mayor Roche Issues q Letter of In
structions to the Police.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-The new year was
opened in Chicago by Mayor Roche Crap
pling promptly with the latest phase of the
anarchist problems. The new development
was the decision, by Master in Chaneery
Windes yesterday, that the anarchists un-
der the name of the Arbeiter Bund had a
right to hold their meetings, but declining
to recomme d an injunction restraining the
police from interfering with the
gatherings, though suggesting that
one might be not improperly
granted Ivy higher authority. The next
move in the premises, it was generally ex-
pc ted, would be an elaborate decision by
Judge Tuley on the report OF Master
Windes. Mayor Roche today took time
by the forelock by making the masters
repeat the text for a letter of instructions
To the police department, as follows
MAYORS OFFICE, CHICAGO Jan. /, 1889.
George w Hubbard, SupertR, eadent0f Police:
DEAR SIR-After reading the report of
Master-ln Chancery Windes, in relation to the
holding of public meetings / instructed the cor
poration counsel to convey to the court the
idea that if the court believes under the evil
dence, that the arbeiter bnnd has legal and
lawful right TO hold public meetings, We wish
the court So to declare and if the officers of the
city have been exercising unusual authority,
they should be so advised, as l. or they, do
not intend to act Illegally or de-
upon mere technicality We do not propose,
under any circumstances, to deprive any class
of citizeus of constitutional rights but the
police department must necessarily be gov
erned by experience. 1t is your duty to inquire
if you believe man is about to commit mur-
der or burglary or other criminal offense and
to take steps to prevent such au act. As the
public is not in possession OF information
that the police department has. IL is impossible
for tho community to determine what the real
intention OF the anarchists organization may
be- the good order of the city. and life and
property are in your haDds We do not desire
TO again experience difficulties like those We have
hal in tne past. We must not offer encourage
ment to such meetings and such proceedings
as the supreme court OF this state has said led
up to the Haymarket riot aud its unfortunate
consequences, and it is to he hoped that the
courts will draw the line in a definite way. so
that we have instructions, and, if We have not
sufficient authority under the existing laws, the
responsibility must rest with others and not
with US, All departments of the city govern
ment should act strictly in conformity with the
law as laid down by the courts

people gave themselves up to social festivi-
ties and amenities to-day to an extent not
practiced here for many years. They were
favored With pleasa t, agreeable weather.
Gen. Harrison neld a reception from Q
o'cock to o'clock, which was entirely
Informal, its only announcement appearing
in the newspapers in the usual list in its al
phabetical order The handsome parlors of
the Harrison residence were decorated with
flowers and plants, but not to any elaborate
degree.
THE LADIES.
Mrs. Harrison was asss, ed by her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mckee, Mrs. James B ads ,aw,
Mrs Edward Mckee, Mrs. Lima McKse,
Miss Newcomer a Miss Riley of Harris

ladies and Russell B. Harrison particip tied
for time IN the reception. The reception
throughout was, as the notice stated, ZEN
tIrely informal Promptly at o'clock
callers began to arrive in large nu - .ers.

parlor and greeted their friends imale1i-
ately they had entered the house.
