COMMENTS OF TIE PRESS.

M3rriton Headlight: Conway county does not want primary election but will acquicsce in the action of the district committee. The county committee will be short ly called together to take steps for furthering the interests of the party.
 Clarksville Herald Journal. The committee has made departure from the usual method of counting the votes. That is all the votes tbat each candidate receives in each county is to be counted for him. This seems fair, and bears equality on it's face. So would proposition to elect president by the popular vote, but If IL were attempted, we would look for the first blast from the Democratic party, that has al ways been the friend, advocate and defender of State sovereignty.
 Dardanelle Post: The fifth district judicial convention has been called to meet at RusselIvills July 10th. The committee recommends de- parturc from the former custom of ascertaining the choice of the dem ocrscy by requesting that primary elections be held throughout the dis trict, and that the candidates receiv- ing the highest number of votes for judge and prosecuting attorney shall be declared the nominees.
 The Post is understood to be in favor of primary elections for the expression of the choice of the dem- ocracy of Yell county, for all offices within our gift. But the wisdom Of the committee, in It's request that county lines be ignored, because of being departure from the old GUS tom, Is to say the least, doubtful. But if the interests of the party will be better subserved by the method adopted no particular objection can be urged against It.
 Morrilton Pilot and Pope County Mail: The committee called a jud- icial district convention at Russell. vile for the 10th of July, and fixed the basis of representation. So far so good, and had the committee stop ped at thls point, it would not have exceeded it's authority, for these are the powers that are delegated to it, and it is part of the committees action is binding upon the party, and from it, there is no appeal. In stead of this, however, the committee went beyond it's authority and made a mandatory recommendation that g primary election be held. plotting out all county lines. Where is the authority for such actionp It is un. warranted, without precedent and directly in the teeth of time honored Democratic usage, therefore not binding on the party. It is no more than the recommendation of any other private citizen, and we think, would be dangerous precedent to adopt. It would be much better for the counties to ignore this primary election altogether and fall back to the good old Democratic way of se- lecting delegates.

JUDGE wALLAcE's ANSWER.
RussELLvILLE, Apr

AN%ooHALf AA~A~hsI RAAA
 Editor DEMOCRAT: Replying to your favor of the 14th inst, to your first query l answer, No! It Is true that all power ultimately rests with the party. The party can make and unmake. It can grant and revoke. It can delegate and resume, and the committee is the creature of the par ty and like ali other creatures must accept the will of its creator. But the party delegates it's authority to special agents to exercise for it cer- tain specific powers. Ofcourse these powers can be resumed at any time by the party in convention assembled for that purpose, but so long as un- resumed, the acts of the duly con- stituted agents, within the sphere of their authority, are supreme and bindingon each individual member of the party.
 To the judicial committee the par ty has expressly delegated the authority to call convention to nominate candidates for judicial of ficers. A grant of an express power implies grant of all such powers as are incident and necessary to 6 full and free exercise of the power granted. This is rule of frequent application in the administration Of justice. It applies to all powers given by express grant whether redueible to the will of the sov- sovereign or tue individual merely. That the committee was clothed with the authority to call judicial convention to nominate candidates for judicial officers none will question, then the committee had by implication the corresponding power, within the bounds of reason able fairness, to prescribe the mode by which the preference of the party should be expressed, whether by representative body, or by the popu- lar will of the party. They adopted the latter, they might have chosen the former. It was question which addressed their discretion and it was not question of authority.
 Query 2d. Yes, I think so. But this involves 8 comparison of the merits and demerits of the two sys- tems which is impracticable here. We are apt to be biased in favor of things to which we have been long accustomed, and, in my opinion our favoritism for conventions is very much due to this bias. But of re cent years the primary system has rapidly grown in popular favor and has come to be regarded as the fair est method, less subject to manipu lation, free from the boisterous and riotous scenes incident to conven. tions, and where every individual member of the party is directly con suited, his voice heard and his pow CT felt, and each candidate is placed squarely upon his merits. The can didate being the immediate handi work of the whole party he is likely to be followed at the polls with jealous and universal support of his party.
 Query 3d. Yes, am satisfied with the action of the committee. l am in the hands of my party, and l would have been satisfied if they had have adopted the convention plan, believing always in the wisdom and patriotism of my party to act in the best interest and for the common welfare of the whole.

 What of the wheel2 is question that is of late frequently propound- ed to us. Well, we are not inclined to conceal anything we know con. corning it. The wheel, as it existed here, that is, the political wheel, is defunct. For several years the wheel moved along under democratic colors, and somewhat propitious breezes. She had the same platform as the democratic party, identical, principle for principle, the same chart, the same compass, and the prov of her boat was turned towards the same port. The wheel, however, attempted to reach the port by shorter and seemingly accessible route. The sequel proved this route to be lined with thousand Scylla's of unparalleled ruggedness. The boat was stranded. The majority of the democratic passengers and crew made their way tU the mother ship, while the remainder consisting of a few half bloods aud republicanssurn ed to 8 new craft that became visible about that time.

SOME of the union labor fellows are beginning to harp on the failure of the Norwood contest. The Bates vile Guard seizes the opportunity to refresh the public mind with this scrap of history: ''Let it be borne in mind that Norwood's contest for governors office was withdrawn by his friends from the legislature be- fore Gov. Eagles veto of the. sen ste's action requiring bond for cost was finally disposed of. This con test was trick and the prompt agreement of the senate with the house in accepting the challenge to an investigation would have thoroughly exposed it."

MoRRILToN, ARK, April II.
 Editor DEMOCRAT:
 In answer to the three questions propounded in your letter Of the 18th inst, l state
 1st Had the Judicial Committee assumed to suthoritstively direct the holding of primary elections for the nomination of candidates for the of fees of Judge and Prosecuting Al torney, it certainly would have tran scended its authority, as the only power delegated by the party to the committee, as l understand Demo cratic usage, is the right to call a convention, appoint the time and place for holding the same and fix the basis of representation. But from my understanding of the action of the committee, no attempt has been made to enforce primary cleo tion, but it is simply suggested or recommended, and the counties left to exercise theIr own discretion in the matter.
 2d. do not think the primary election plan the better way of mak ing nominations, especially where there are more than two candidates offering for the same office, as under the primary plan, mere plurality secures the nomination.; the nomi- nee may not be the choice of the par | ty--in fact he may be the weakest | man in the race. Therefore I think | the time -honored convention plan fairly and squarely conducted, much | the safer, and certainly mere Demo cratic.
 Sd. I am satisfied with the action of the committee and notwithstand- ing the plan suggested or recom- by the committee is wide departure from an old and well-es- tablished Democratic usage, and is, In my oplnlon, 6 dangerous innova- tion, especially where several coun- ties are interested, yet I am perfect Iy willing to submit my claims to . l
