AN ADDRESS.

To Officers and Judges
Let the committeeman of the different
districts devote portion of their valua-
bic time to the duties that devolve upon
them by reason of the position they hold.
Use discretion in the selection of Judges
to hold elections, because to them is CON-
mitted the important trust Of guarding
the ballot-box and seeing that justice is
done the various candidates. Select men
who will discharge the duty without pref
udice or fayorand who will hold no mans
interest above the interest of the party
they propose to serve. A just and hon
est discharge Of the duties devolving on
all the officers of D primary election is
the only safe guard that can be thrown
around it, and without this injustice may
be done candidates, and the will OF ma
jority Of the Democrats be ignored and
disregarded, thereby engendering strife
and producing discord and discussion.
A discharge of duty will obviate this
trouble, and when the votes have been
counted and the result ascertained,, the
defeated candidates will feel that tie peo-
pie have spoken, and as true Democrats
they will go to work for the nominees.
1 am authorized by Mr.. WE. Harri,
son, the chairman, to request the differ
ent committeeman to bring or forward
the returns tome. Let this be done inn
mediately after the election so that the
result may at once be ascertained.
believing in the honor and honesty Of
the committee, and that the men they
select to aid them in this matter will
prove themselves worthy of the conf.
/ dence reposed in them, feel that every

Whereas, The action of the Demo-

ing certain rules and requiring certain
pledges in order to entitle parties not
heretofore in line with the party to vote
has proven to be but an invitation to the
unscrupulous demagogue OF mugwump
to present himself and demand recogni-
ton at Democratic primaries; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That the judges of the cleo
tons in each precinct of the county be,
and they are hereby constituted a chal-
longing committee, and the question as
to who shall be eutitled-to vote and what
pledge or promise shall be required is
referred to them with full power to act

BUSY HIVE or ANARCHY.
discovered by tho Police Of Enxiand-eAn
Important Capture.

LONDON, Jan. 1. S.---To-day tho police claim
that they have effected Nh important arreat
OF group Of anarchists residing in WalsaIl,
SthifOrdshire. in connection with tho recent
explosion at Dublin castle. man who rs-
Gently Eassed a police station in London
attracted tho attention OF ths police by hia
peculiar manner and was taken into custody
as O suspicious character. The officers say
thoy soon found ample Justification for ar
resting the man. Al the time Of his arrest
the NAN was carrying q parcel When
taken into the police station and searched
upon his person were found papers giving
details of anarchists' plots and giving the
names OF persons implicated in tbs con-
sp1rncIes. Tho papers showed that the
headquarters OF the anarchists were at War
san, and steps were Immediately taken to
place them under arrest. The result was
that Irenchman named Victor Calles
Marie Pibelne. II woman with whom
Calles WAS living. and Frederick
Charles, nll residing at Warsall, arc
in custody. The prisoners belonged to 4
soclalistic club in WarsaLl Yhs club room
ana residences Of the prisoners wers
tion led to the most important discoveries
concerning the Vaccinations and work OF
the plotters.
The prisoners were nrraigned III court to-
Gay ana charged with having in their pos
session explosives which they intended to
devote TO unlawful purposes. The magis-
trate discharged Marie Pibelne. It is
probable that she made confession and it
s the intention of the authorities to use
her as It witness against the other prisoners.
The prisoners had in their possession
matrices which were used inAnaking bombs
Ihey are OF o conicnl shape and four or
five inches long. Models OF other parts of
the paraphernalia used in making bombs
were also found in the possession of the
prisoners. The chief constable asked for
an adjournment of the case limiting at the
same time that it was probable that other
arrests would shortly follow. The magis-
trate granted the request and the prisoners
were remanded for week.
Tho police have discovered secret foun-
dry for the manufacture of bombs and the
place where the explosives are made by the
anarchists. The Walsall club, to which tho
prisoners belonged, has been the center OF
anarchlst propaganda for several years. 1t
transplred that the police have for long
time been suspicious of the members of the
club at Walsall, and that for three months
they have been watching the club rooms
day and night. They did not feel war
ranted In making arrests, however, until
the arrest OF the man in London and the
lncrJmlnating documents found on him es-
tabl;shed beyond doubt that the members
OF the CLUB were engaged in unlawful piac-
tices.
Among the articles seized BY the police
in Walsall is an abundant supply OF an
archlst pamphlets teaching how to man
facture explosives, besides quantity Of
material for bombs and bolts.
