did so with the intention of go.
ing before the people and discuss
ing the subject of tariff taxation,
which has been made an issue in
our party by some of its leaders.
[ supposed at that time that the
primaries would be open to all
democrats to express their prefer
ences for all officers to be nomi-
mated by our party. The action of
the executive committee in dis
franchising large element of the
party was done to dictate the nom
ination Of certain others. The
effect of this action will be that
not only those prescribed will be
excluded, but such discomfort
among other democrats will be
produced that but few will attend
them, and those few will be the
adherents of the iavorites intended
to be benefited by the exclusion.
The result will be as it was with
the Dudley primaries two years
ago, and it would be useless to me
to appeal to the people when the
judgment to be rendered has al
ready been determined. 1 there
