out of the publication of an article in the
last issue of that paper. The article in
question is as follows: After considering
the matter it has been determined to hold
q massmeeting, which all honest people
are invited to attend, in the court house
next Saturday, Nov. B. The object of this
meeting is to give expression to the deter
mination now formed in the minds and
hearts Of the people to die rather than sub
init to anything but fair election on Tues.

''That they have all come to this conclu-
sion it docs not require much time or con-
versation to demonstrate. To submit to
such glaring frauds as were practiced in
the August election is to surrender all
manhood and patriotism, and this the
honest people of old Lauderdale are not
yet ready to do, and before they will do it
they will soak the sod with their blood.
Every honest man who desires fair and
honest election is earnestly urged to quit
his daily avocation and come on that day
and show that he is at least on the side of
justice and right. Come everybody

THE MUNICIPAL PRIMARY.
Meeting of the Committee ON Plans
Yesterday.


The Plans Committee Of the City Demo-
cratic Committee held meeting In the
office OF the City Treasurer yesterday
afternoon TO confer regarding a plan for
he municipal primary. The Plans Com
mittee consists OF Messrs. Bowry, PM
Ups. and Gasser.
At the meeting OF the City Committee
Monday night last II was decided that
he urinary be By secret ballot, but the
mestion of grating upon 1t the Austria
ian-ballot system was postponed uhui

The Plans Committee arrived ut no deh-
lite conclusion. but II is probable that
hey will report the old plan. ii VIII theh
% for the general committee TO decide
whether the Australian-ballot feature shalI
be connected with II.
The principal objections urged 10 the
Australians ballot feature are that the vote
could not he polled under IL in the time
the polls will be open. and that IL VIII
entail heavy expense. The advocates OF
the experiment meet the first objection
by pointing 10 the fact that the walton
law permits the Electoral Board, In tnelr
discretion, to have one or more booths al
each voting place. and that under the
law legaliZlng primaries III i'lC"n''h" '
City Committee has power TO ADOPT sucH
rules for the conduct OF said elections as
they may see fit. The second objection
they aim 10 meet with the argument that
II the City Committee should supply the
"paraphernalia" for the Australiaf-Dal-
lot feature the Electoral Board would re-
imburse the committee In the fail, seeing
that the board would have to order this
"paraDhprnalia" anyhow
Whether the Australian-ballot system Is
adopted or not. the judges and, at the
larger precincts. clerks. will have a lively
time counting the vote unless they are
given assistance. A member OF the City
Committee remarked at the meeting Mon
day that there were forty candidates 10Y
the Council in his ward, and they were
still popping up. This was not intended
to be construed as literally true. but II
gives an approximate idea of the SITUATION
in every ward In the city.
