WANT CONVENTIONS
Democrats Not Satisfied
With the Present Sys-
tem-CountY Commit
tee to Act.

There is a strong probability OF an
effort being made by some of the mem
bers of the Democratic County Commit
tee to abolish the present system OF
electing candidates.
To begin with, there are Democrats
who don't like the existing system be-
cause it was formulated by Counsellor
George L.. Record. Others say that 1t
is a plan whereby favored candidates
have every chance and an independent
candidate none. This. 1t is believed,
was illustrated at the recent selection OF
candidates for the Street and Water
Board. That there were shocking irreg-
ularities ar the primaries is known and
acknowledged.
EVIDENT FRAUD.
On the Hill, where a strong candidate
was running in opposition to a few
~so-called leaders "a greater number OF
ballots were cast than there We're votes
polled at the preceding election. The
attention of the County Committee was
called to the matter, but an investigation
to ascertain who was responsible for the
irregular proceeding was of no avail
While such things were Transporting on
the Hill equally ~disgraceful n unfair
work was being done down town..
IT CAN'T CHECK FRAUD.
To prevent fraud, if anyone desires to
practice it, is an utter impossibility
under the present system. The con-
stitutson provides that no man h be
allowed to vote unless he shall have
been regularly enrolled. No effort was
made to enforce that rule at the last
primaries, owing to the action of friends
of contesting candidates. who freely
pledged their word that the men they
introduced were old time Democrats
and that the failure to have enrolled
them was an oversight.
It is maintained that the system can
not be operated fairly at all and as a
result it is now the intention of certain
prominent Democrats to return to the
old system of nominating candidates at
conventions, at which eac district and
precinct will send a representative dele
gate.
OLD SYSTEM TO BE REVISED.
Tt is commended that the old system
can be revised and made proof against
the dictation of bosses. With the Coun-
ty Committee composed of such excel
lent timber as it is at present IN effort
is to be made to find young and intel
ligent men to act as primary officers. By
pursuing such a course it is be1eved
fraud can be checked, and that men OF
decency who are free from the influences
of bosses can be elected delegates to
conventions.
1t is the intention of the County Com
mittee to make many important changes
and. above all, see to it that representa-
tive business men of some intelligence
and social standing are chosen to be the
party's candidates in future. Definite
action may be taken by the
next week..

Presbyterian Assembly Decides What
Shall be Used In Communion.

PITTsBURG, May "a, 1S95.-The eight
f5avs, session of the 10th General As
sembly began this morning at the usual
hour. Some of the enthusiasm Whlch
was aroused last night at the commem'
orative services in the Assembly Church
was present at the opening session When
DR.. McEwan read a proposition to raise
a million dollars by a reunion memorial
fund, to wipe out the debts OF the pen-
evolent boards. 1t was explained IN an
swer that the secretaries OF the poard
were heartily in favor of the fund. DR..
White held that it would be easier to
raise S., to- the particular fund on nome
or foreign board than 81 for a jubilee
fund. DR.. Hubbard commended that the
debt should be wiped out at once instead
of taking the churches missionary OFFER
ing to pay for dead horses. He held that
the reunited Presbyterian Church should
square it's account with the world before
beginning the second quarter century OF
its history. The resolutions were adopted
TIL report of the Standing Commit
tee on Temperance was read. Record
ing Secretary Irwin, of the committee,
mad a spirited speech on the report.
This nation, he said. is the battlefield of
ideas. 1t was also the dumping ground
of other nations.
One of the resolutions declared that in
order to secure more effective represen-
tative legislation there should be by cleo
ton and appointment to official position
men of clean hands and pure hearts.
An amendment calling upon al the
voters of the Presbyterian Church to
work against the licensing of places for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, excited
opposition from the committee. Ihe
chairman commended, that it was not the
genius of the Presbyterian Church to
tell any mar which party he should vote
for.

Lockwood. Solicitor General, made appii-
cation to the Judge for the re-instate-
ment in the case of the evidence in re-
gard to Shelley, which the Court el1mln-
ated from the case yesterday. h Court
refused to grant the application.
Sir Edward Clarke then opened the case
for the defense. He complained OF the
unjust manner in which the prosecution
of the case had been conducted, and de-
clared that because of this the fenda
could answer to only a remnant OF the
charges.
Wilde was then called to the stand,
and repeated the testimony he gave IN
the previous trial. Wilde was physically
weak, and was allowed to sit while tes-
WiIde's testimony brought out nothing
new. Sir f. Lockwood, throughout ms
cross-examination, carefully. avoided giv-
ing the defendant any opening for a lit
erary speech.
Wilde was cross-examined by Sr Frank
Lockwood, who questioned him IN re-
gard to his letter to Lord Alfred Doug
lass, in which he wrote
