"Mr. KoOser said it was gratifying that
the convention had been without frie-
ton or tumult, and that when properly
considered by coOl-thinking, honest Re-
publicans, and by the Court, il will be
found to have been entirely within the
rules of the party, regular and legal and
that il will be sustained, The speaker
said that the candidates declared nomi-
mated by this convention, representing
the votes of the people, will be the legal
nominees of the Republican party in the
coming November election; that the
Chairman has no more power to call of a
primary election than has the Sheriff. tn

1t follows from the above that there was
but one candidate to be voted for at the
primaries for the office of Director of the
Poor and but one candidate for Jury
Commissioner; and this being the case it
is idle to say that il was necessary to
spend the amount necessary 20 hold the
primaries, whether the Act Of June 2,
1897. applies to the case or not, THAT Act
provided that where there shall be no
more candidates for any Office than are 10
be elected to such Office the persons re-
manning as candidates shall be deemed
the nominee or nominees" etc. espe-
cially since precedents exist in the coun-
ty for not holding primaries in cases
where there was only one candidate for
each ofiire 10 be filled: this occurred in
1885 and in 1895. we believe, when no pri-
maries were held. 1t seems to US that it
is unnecessary TO elaborate further, as we
have already given our reasons at greater
length. probably. than was necessary.
