PRECINCT PRIMARIES.
Precinct primaries for the purpose of
electing delegates to the county Demo-
mittee of three in each precinct VIII be
held in each of the lightweight election
precincts on Tuesday evening, September
Is, at o'clock.
The apportionment of delegates will
be five delegates for each new polling
precinct as created by the county COM
missioners.
Democrats are urged to ascertain as
soon as possible the precinct they reside
in, under the new subdivision, and ar
range for places of meeting. Chairmen
and committees of the old precinct Or
ganiZatlons are requested TO assist IN the
work of reorganization.
The apportionment of delegates is made
uniform for the reason that no means
are at hand to enable the committee to
determine the party voting strength in the
new subdivisions, and for the further
reason that the woman vote enters into
the question this year, as also the probable
acquisition of voters who have heretofore
been classed with other political parties
but who in the coming campaign may
choose to align themselves with the Dem
ocrats, at least on the question of presi-
Dental electors.
All the electors who support William j.
Bryan for president are invited TO parti-
cipate in the primaries.
By order of the committee.
D. c. DUNBAR, Chairman.
W. c. JENNINGS, Secretary.

ooprI4oNs HAlE CHANGED.

Goldbugs are wondering why the peo-
pie did nor register a protest at the
time the demonstration act was
passed, seeing they are SO emphatic in
their demands for restoration now.
There are Two reasons. The first is
that the act demonetizing silver was
passed by congress without the people
knowing what it really was. AS good
authority as Colonel Fred Dent Grant
says that the report is untrue that
President Grant when he signed the
act did not know that it struck down
silver as basal coin. The second
reason is, that the people did not an
ticipate that silver was sufficiently
abundant to at any time form a large
per cent of our circulating medium. AT
that time only 100000 of silver dol
lars had been coined, and this with
the subsidiary silver, formed only a
small portion of the volume of money
then in use. Since that time silver
mining has been greatly developed I'M
til now the annual production amounts
to about 100000 ounces and the
amount coined and circulated, or held
as substitute money. amounts to more
than $780, 100000. Silver is now an i'm
portant part of ouo- coin medium, and is
so closely associated with commerce
and trade and with industrial prosper
ity that legislation initiating against it
necessarily operates to the disadvan-
tage of the people. If an act similar
to the act of 1878 were passed today,
with such knowledge as the people
have of the silver resources of the ma
ton, it would precipitate a revolution.
Indeed. no party or set of men would
dare to do today what was done in
1873. Notwithstanding this, the tri-
umph Of the gold movement amounts
to practically the same for if gold
trfumphs silver will be discredited at
home, and foreign nations that are con-
trolled by European capitalists will be
quick to avail themselves of the OPP
portunity to administer the fatal blow.
For this reason the people should push
the campaign for silver with all the
vigor and means at their command.
Defeat means untold hardship and suf-
fering. Success means such prosperity
as the world has never known

cannot say the present system, for any one

vinced that it contains no system. A change

given way, to unwind one of those "wads'

l have carefully read the civil service
plank in the Chicago platform and every
thing Mr. Bryan has said and written upon
that subject since his nomination, and l do
not think the government employees, wheth-
er democrats or republicans, would have
any reason to rejoice over his election to
the presidency. If the civil service plank in
the Chicago platform and Mr.. Bryan's ut
terances upon that subject mean anything,
they mean, If not a return to the spoils
system something very much on that line.

would feel much safer in their positions un-
der Mr. Mckinley than under Mr.. Bryan.
