The Portland daily press., 1891-02-19
The Republican caucuses,

1t is perfectly well known that for many
years past there has been growing dissatis-
faction among the Republicans of this city
on account of the way In which their prima-
ries for the nomination of candidates have
been conducted. The complaint has been
that in some of the wards they were par
ticipated in by people who had no right to
take part in Republican caucus, and that in
all of them there was good deal of confu-
sion and disorder. That these complaints
were well founded has been evident enough
to anyone who has attended a caucus where
there was sharp contest between candi-
dates; and that remedy must be found and
applied If the primaries were to continue
to fairly represent Republican sentiment
has also been apparent. An effort
was made to cure the trouble by law,
but the result was not so satisfactory as was
anticipated. A year ago the city committee
took the matter In hand, and though they
did not at that time accomplish all In the
direction of reform that was to be desired.
they certainly succeeded In effecting some
changes which were very much for the bet
ter. This year the committee have gone far
Their. and IL the Republicans heartily CO.
operate with them, the result will be still
further Improvement in the caucuses and
closer approach to what they should be.
We hear in some quarters complaint that
the committee is'assuming powers that do
not belong to it, is undertaking to ''run the
caucuses." This complaint, however. is
groundless. To select the time for hold
ing the caucuses and make arrange
ments and prescribe rules for their
conduct are among the committees chief
duties. Caucuses are not, like elections,
regulated by law. The time when an cleo
ton is to be held is fixed by statute, and
also the conditions under which 1t is to be
held. But the regulations Of caucuses are
left to the committee of each party, and the
regulations made by these committees ought
to be binding upon the party. Unless they
are so regarded 1t is practically useless to un-
dertake to reform the primaries. If the city
committee is to order the use Of the check
list and the caucus is going to ignore this
order and proceed to ballot without it, the
city committee might as well retire from the
field and leave the caucus to make its own
rules and regulations and to degenerate, as
1t certainly will under such conditions, into
disorderly gathering from which the better
class OF voters will soon withdraw in dis
gust.
There is nothing Objectionable In the ar
rangements which the committee have made
for the caucuses this evening. There is moth
ing which is outside their authority. 1t is
prescribed that the checklist be used. and
that nobody vote until his name is found on
this list. 1t is further prescribed that a
certain form of ballot shall be used, and
that no other form shall be allowed. There
can be no well founded complaint against
this ballot. On it are to be printed the
names of all the candidates, and the voter
can designate his choice by marking cross
opposite his selection. No candidate has any
advantage under 1t, but all are treated pre-
sisely alike. The committee have just as much
