LOCAL NEWS
Sharp County Primary.


The primary election in which the
democratic party of Sharp county
will choose candidates for the sewers
al county Offices, to be elected on the
lst day Of September, takes place
July 2Gth. As it has repeatedly
come to our ears that there are a few
members Of other political parties
complaining Of being excluded in
the official call already published, we
deem it proper to call the attention
of such persons to the fact that this
primary expression Of the electors is
entirely in the hands Of the demo-
Gratis Of the different townships, and
no member Of an opposing party has
any right to participate IN the work
of making these choices, no more
than y member of the Methodist
church would have a voice in decid-
ing a question which might be sprung
before Baptist congregation. AS
there is no statute law governing
primary elections, it is no violation
of lazy to precluGc persons belongs
ing to other parties from voting in
them No gentleman will try to put
himself where he has no business, es
-pecllally where he takes pride in say
ing he does not belong. As the
REcoRD has before stated, any man
who has ever been democrat and
now CLAIMS preference for that party,
and will pledge himself to support
the nominees of the democracy,
should be allowed a vote IN the pri,
mary. And II such a person will
not so pledge himself he should
then wait till September and eXer>
else his glorious right of franchise
as he chooses, but certainly for the
best interests Of the government
which vouchsafes to him this price,
Jess privilcge.-REooRD, July Sd.
We dislike to explain and then
have to explain our expllntion, But
we understand that the above is be-.
ing misconstrued by parties who are
seeking to keep democrats away
from the primary, telling them they
will have to take an oath, etc There
will be no oath required of any gen.
,tleman who desires to vote with the
democrats, but all those who are
known to have affiliated with the
so>cNlled third party movement of
the past four years and IN the last
campaign worked against the dem
,ocratic ticket, we say that if they
want to help nominate a democratic
ticket they should not object to sig
nifty their good faith to the judges
and clerks of the primary election
who should all be members of the
township committee by promising
upon honor to support the ticket
nominated, whether then choices are
successful OF not,
Here is the point: If outsiders are
allowed to come into our primary,
indiScrimluat"ly, and, with a Solidly
fixed purpose, nominate an Others
wise weak ticket an opposition ticks
ct may slip iu But Ms all announced
candidates are subject alone to the
expression aud Will Of democrats,
we canuot see how any other than u
democrat could expect to vote till
the general election And it Is right
aud proper that the several township
committees attend strictly to tins
duty
