wished The primary he'd toward the last OF

advocated postpoDement III MAY d.
Alfpeve their reasons and finally, on
compromise, the % of April was fixed up
on as the date for holding the primary
election. ~
IL was agreed that the registrars and the
two democratic judges of election OF each
ward should act as judges at the primary
and that they should have the power to ep
mint their clerks-two in each ward-pro-
vided such clerks were satisfactory to the
candida es.
The nay of the judges and clerks was tix-
Cd at So each for the day, and 1t was under
stood that the polls should be held at the
usual voting places.
The FIVE candidates were assessed at $50
each to pay the expenses of the primary,
The following waa adopted:
Rcsolvoi That the democratic primary he held
on the 29th day Of April, 1890
Resolved That al known democrats and sil
other white voters who will pledge themselves to
support the democratic ticket nominated, shall be
en;itled to vote in the primary election.
Resolved That such colored voters whose names
snail be furnished to the judges of election by the
democratic executive committee shall be permit
ted to vote in the primary.
IL is understood that the republicans will
run no ticket this spring, but will husband
their strength till the fall, when Congress-
man il 10 be elected.
