MR. BEVERLY 7. CRUMP.
"povuu favor any particular plan for

t.,c. DID, a,kod the reporter OF Mr. Beverly
4. ,rump.
eel do not give myself any concern about
thus Mf. CrumD went on TO say. L
tl-rtitls matter entirely for the City
Committee, aud | am perfectly wiling to
lUile lv their dcc.siOu, a. l believe they |
Wal finally adopt such plan Tor the selec.
ton oi candidates as IN their opinion Will
most nearly conform 10 the views OF our
citizens generally and AS VIII conduce TO
harmony and fairness
MAY 1 request You to express your
views upon the policy the incoming Lee
l.-lature should pursuet" asked the
s-rtc.
ii have not given the matter any
thought. az there IS no specially promi-
Leut question Of state policy now occupy
inc the public mind, SAID Mr. Crump. L
rather think the financial situation OF the
couttry aud the expected relief to be de-
rIyci from the action OF the called session
u Congress will, for some time TO come,
demand the attention OF all thOughttul
c,iizcns. Tho state Convention will doubt
lees define the Democratic policy IN the
State campaign and may develop some
Questions Of puDlic Importance, which
VIII call for discussion and study. Ihs
state debt is, l trust, completely settled
and can scarcely call for further legis-
..floD. except possibly TO facilitate the
carving out Of tie adjustment already
u.le. | think that steps ought 70 be
taken to tring 10 the State proper class OF
lluicrants. IL am sent 20 the LegIsla-
tlfs desire 80 be free to deal with all
Iol- political questions which may arise,
lram business standpoint, and with o
View L. advance what may be convinced
shall be the best interests of our own city
al II tne State at large"

Mr. Julian Bryant. the candidate from
M.r.Lail Ward. whom See by the scribe,
ed:
IL would be extremely hard for me 70
sa7 what are hkelyto be the most impo--
t.4t questions 10 be considered by the
uegt legislature, besides the election OF
s.uaiors. ridges, and state officers. There
arc number Of important questions
which are being discussed. but " Is im-
pus,iblo Tor me 10 say what the course OF
event, may be before the meeting Of the
Legislature or 70 forecast ITS action onany
question.
As 10 the mode OF selecting our can
dIdates here | have the most implicit con-
ldruco Ia our Cay Democratic Committee.
sul shall be satisfied with the plan they
G1Oyt"
