PUBLIC OPINION.

Mr. Editor
As several have expressed their opin-
ion on the subject Of nominating a Dem.
ocratio ticket for county offices, beg
leave 20 add my humble mite to the
collection.
Ia the first place, am in favor Of a
primary; first, because Il affords every
voter 10 give expression Of bis choice,
and second, 10 Is the better way to make
a selection. Let the primary be gov
ernod by the following rules:
CD Every committeeman, judge, Off
Ger and clerk 10 be sworn before polling
begins.
CD Only Democrats 10 be allowed 10
vote, and only those who will agree on
honor 30 support the nominees, whether
they are his choice or rot.
CD The polls 10 open and close over
the county at a stated hour.
(D The list of voters, tally sheets and
certificates Of same 10 be sealed securely
IN the presence OF the committeeman, of
fcers, judges and clerks, and the day
following the election at q stated hour
the county chairman or his authorized
deputy shall meet them 40 the court
house at Camden and count the vote 10y
districts in regular order, beginning with
district as the number of district is
called the committeeman shall produce
the returns from the same, which shall
be opened 10y the chairman in the pres
ence of the several committeeman aud
the same noted, and so on until the en-
tire returns have been received aud so
noted; no district to be counted or CON
sidered unless the returns are produced
when the number Of said district is call
ed. When the choice Of the party has
been ascertained, then proclamation to
be made from the east and west doors
/ of the courthouse.
The plan of conducting primaries as
herein set out would, in my estimation,
give entire satisfaction to every fair
minded Democrat in Benton County,
and would result in Democratic victory
If any one can present a better plan,
will cheerfully submit
