further, that no one shall vote but
known Republican residents of the pre-
cinct, were adopted.
Mr.. Knox was opposed to the adoption
OF article 8 as presented by the executive
committee, and moved that the primary
election be held under the general cleo
ton law OF the state.
Chairman Silent-If you adopt the
Porter primary law that will undo every
action you have taken that conflicts
with il.
Mr.. Kuox-We have done nothing so
far that will conflict with the Porter
law. You can hold your primaries
either by wards or precincts. 1t only
specifies how the election shall be
held.
Colonel Mudge-There are one or two
wards in the city that we have got to
watch, but believe that the great mass
OF Republicans will act honestly. The
county and city outside OF those wards
will vote honestly.
Mr.. Knox-We all know that in the
Second and Seventh wards the delegates
were put in peril; robbery and revolvers
were uHed
Question:" Question" came from
all quarters OF the hall. and on a vote
being taken the substitute was voted
down by very decided storm of mega
tlves, and article s, as follows, was
adopted:
I'VE recommend that the offices OF
the primary election consist of one
Judge, one inspector and two clerks !;
and that the printed great register and
certificates OF registration be used to de-
termine the right of Republicans to vote
at the primary that no one be entitled
to vote unless his name ia found on he
great register of the county, nor unless
the register shows that lie is resident
of the precinct Cor ward, il ward PRINT
ries are determined upon) where he
tenders his vote, excepting in case of re-
moval since registration, In which case
the voter may be permitted to vote in
the precinct to which he has removed,
If he is known to the officers of the
primary election to be bona fde resi-
dent of such precinct Cor ward, if ward
primaries are decided upon); if certifi-
Gates OF registration are rendered as
proofs OF registration. they shall be
taken up and cancelled by the primary
election officers before the ballot is re-
ceived."
1t was decided to hold the primaries
on June 2lst. and that the county con-
vention be held on June 9TH.
Mr.. Stein moved that, in addition to
the names regularly to be voted for del
egates at the primaries, that the choice
OF the voter for the nominee for con-
gresa shall be expressed at the ballot.
George II. Peck OF Ell Monse-I think
the motion is good one. This will give
our people an opportunity to express
their opinion as to whom they want to
represent them on the floor of congress.
Mr. r r. nanner-rhis will have the
effect OF tying the hands Of the delegates
and will prevent any trading. If you
put one Office on let us put all of them
on. II you are going TO manace your
delegates. they will not be able to do
anything for the good of the county, and
l move that the motion be tabled.
A vote was taken, and Mr.. STEMS
motion was laid on the table by three
fourths vote.
The executive committee recommend
ed that the basis OF representation be

delegate for each major fraction OF %

delegates and 246 city delegates, q total
OF 5l3, being 81 in excess for the county.
