If the sun had been in the shining bust

cal landscape.

The place has not yet been filled.
Messrs. Cannon and Gleesou have been al
ready appointed. and there is one more to

tive extremes of District Republicanism,
dyed in the caidron of political anita Gonism.
Mr.. Carter is now looking. il is stated,
for a man whose office II shall be to serve

The change to the new system of pri-
maries is still the subject OF much gussip
aud speculation on sidewalks, corridors
and in political atmospheres.
The knowing onrs ali say they think the
primary will be a Graud, good thing, and

pended from the anterior fiber of his troI-

The fact is. they say, no more fertile fled
Tor fraud could be selected than the one
now ready to be- sowD and titled. Itispointed
out that there are no elections in the Dis
trict, and that a ballot-box might be openly
stuffed as full as a clothtslne- -sed goat and
there would be no law To meet the offense.
Again, as there are no elections there re
no requirements for registration, and an
Industrious leader. it is pointed out, could
lead a band of forty or more from one pre-
| cinct to another, until the tourings of the
Children OF Israel would henceforth be re-
corded as a tame affair, compared with the
latter-day exploit.
The leaders say when talking for publica-
| ton. though, that the primary will be a good
thing.
Il think the system will be an admirable
one" said Col. Myron NJ. Parker, '.if it
can be carried out. 1t is the only just and
fair way to select the deleg

was still more enthusiastic over the action
of the committee. Il think il excellent,

will eventually result in our representation

Mr.. Gleeson then turned his attention to
the meeting held in Grand Army Hall last
night, where Mr.. Parker presided and gave
his personal guarantee t. the manager OF
the hall that the four walls uf the building
would be left intact after the meeting WAS
over.
DEATH KNELL OF PARKER
Nobody doubts but that it was a Carson
meeting. "Col. Perry came like an

ON the pillows of his eloquence.

no nlggah can pass watermillion wi1out
payin' his respects to it,.
Mr.. Gleeson thinks The meeting was the
political death knell of Mr.. Parker. He

Mr.. Gleeson to a Times reporter. II did
| promise to support him in the event should

| My friends tell me that Mr.. Parker killed

Another point on which there is likely to

| variety in crazy quilt is that OF the date of
| holding the primory.
1t is supposed they will, of course, be held
| in all the twenty-five districts the same

near is a query.
Many OF the leaders assert the primary
| should be held within a month, and then
let the matter drop. Others favor a post

to think, and TO electioneer.
1t is pointed out too that there can be
