One of the difficulties about the pr'.
mary election system for the selection
of candidates is, that In many cases the
man who ''rustles" the most, or ''hus-
tles', the most, whichever is the better
term, gets the most votes and the nom
ination, whereas, II the electors could
get together and compare notes another
and q very different person would be
successiul. We do not here intend t.
compare systems, nor have we any
particular candidate or candidates In
mind while we write, but we only
desire to say a few words in the inter-
est OF the democratic party, and, hence,
of good government. This county
tried republican rule once. and 1t was
so expensive and unsatisfactory that II
Is not likely 10 even approach doing
90 again. Therefore the better the
democratic party does the better for Il G
county. Keeping in mind the first
thought suggested in this article IL
appear that each elector should re-
member that he has a grave duty to
discharge ut the primary election-even
n more serious one than that at the
polls in November, because 1t is or
May 81 that the real choice OF officers
viii be made for Lafayette county
This being true the voter should real
lie that there is more than his personal
preference to be considered-tba the
has upon him @ responsibility which be
cannot shirk Of recording his ballot
above all things for the fittest man for
each Office. Because he likes this "good
fellow or that splendid mixer" Is no
reason why he should vote for him.
The very tact that he Is one or both OF
these may have In II an element Of dan
ger. The true test In every case should
be:-"Who will make the most eff
cient and useful officerr" This 9ues-
ton answered the ballot should con
form 10 it. How many irrelevant mat
ters instead are suggested, of location
of p~ersonal acquaintance, and VIVA
not. Why, only the other day
prominent man said to us in regard Il
an aspirant for an Office which require
technical skill:-"Do yon know Blank
Hats a good fellow, I tell You. He's
bustler, he is. He's one Of the boys
I'm going to vote for him. He's tn
Kind of a man / likes Just think OF ]
DOR a moment. Analyze these reasons
for voting for q man to ill an impor
tant position of trust. Compare then
viib l.homas Jefferson's ideas of ft
,.esa for public place. Put them to th'
test Of your own common sense, an'
then BEE II you are justified in dom!
as this gentleman proposed to DO
Every democratic voter In Lafayette
eounty owes It to his party and to him
self: (i) to vote at the primary election
NAV 81; (2) to do so with the best de
liberation and intelligence which h
can bring to bear upon the subject
and (s) to put aside all selfish consid
.erations, and in every instance to cas-
his ballot tor the most honest, able an
natriotic man for the Office. So doin
,shs eleclor will have performed b
highest public duty in such a mamie
a. to render him worthy to De q
American citizen.

The Hannibal Journal says in regard
TO the recent city election thereby
is estimated that at least seven.y-hvs
colored voters deposited straight dem
ocratic tickets yesterday. Now let th'
democracy show proper appreciation
That is the doctrine. A negro whit
freely and Voluntarily votes the demo
cratic ticket does 80 with the certaini!
of persecution and ostracism from PEG
Pile OF his own race, and from whit
republicans. Democrats should re
member aud reward them.
