of the eounty".-They are elected

Frst-as regard only november

TIMES notice appeared Nov. End
1892. Remember every district
except the 4th has comfy COM
mitteeman to elect. The best way
to do this is to have seperate bal
lot box. This is unsigned, but l
am informed that the then chair
man orderered it printed. At that
time tho chairman recognized an
August election in the 4th at
east. Now not all of the districts
held an election. In evsry district
but three the old committeeman
objected to holding IN election on
Nov. 6, 1894 claiming none had
ben ordered, and the old would do
again. The facts are that no gen.
eral district election was held in
Nov. 1892 nor has there been for
many years an expression from
the people as to who should be
their committeeman.
Some of the committee were ar-
pointed by the chairman, some by
a petition carried about among the
republ cans Of the district. A great
many of the committeeman who
acted during the election of 1894
bid not remember how nor when
they were electen. Some were
neither elected nor appointed by
any legal power but were asked to
serve by the ca nmitteenan him.
self who did not want t longer or
was moving out Of the district.
Thus We ..hav had no representa-
tive committee. And it seems
that one was not wanted by 2 few
politicians. On. July 25t 1894
Chairman said ~wfll give dG9
notice Of time and manner.T Did
he ever do SO? On Monday Nov.
9th 1894, he said in conversation on
the street.o Maryvilel that he had

been made and we will not
hold an election. The committee
men in the 9th said "no order, old
committee is oil right"
In fact it seems as If there
| was a precOncerted plan to have
no call made-stifia the voice O1
