SAdliC CdLupdlSu Oh 1876 occurred laSI night
when the central committee met at 1920
pennsylvania avenue and issued call for
primary elections. to be held March TO-. for
the purpose of choosing delegates to a con-
vention to be held March IL, at which six
delegates and their alternates will be Sc
lected for the democratic national conven-
ton in July, at Chicago
Previous to this action large amount Of
business was transacted. There were sew
eral gentlemen present armed with proxies
OF gentlemen representing various districts
on the central committee, and there was
some objection on their part because they
were not admitted at once to the delibera-
tions OF the body. The latter, however,
was acting in the capacity of a committee
on credentials to consider the proxies, and
the misunderstanding was quickly dissi-
pated, and after the question was decided
the holders of the proxies were admitted,
as follows: VIM H. Rose. acting for Julius
A. Tolson. in the first district; E. L. Jordan,
in place of Walter Costello, in the twelfth
district; Walter Costello, in place OF J. ].

the twenty-first district
In the tenth district, formerly represented
by James Ray, vacancy was declared,
ana Z. II. Davidson was elected to fill 1t,
the proxy given by Ray to DR.. Allen being
disregarded because Ray. owing to peculiar
circumstances, had no right to give it.

P. ]. Cusick.
In the ninth district there is also
vacancy, and the filling of 1t was post
