JUNE ', 1898.

JUNE fi loJO. MR. J. w. ADAMS,
 Editor Graphic.
 DEAR SIR:-In reply to your ia vor of even date asking if any cer- tiiicate was filed with me by the Chairman or Secretary of the County Central Committee legal izing the Democratic primaries held on May ', 1898, will say that such certificate was not filed with me. As to whose duty it was to file such certificate I don't presume to say, but refer you to Section I, Act 154, Acts 1895, "An Act to Le- galize Primary Elections ,
 Respectfully,
 F. B. FLANDERS,
 County Clerk.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1898-06-08


 Under the provisions of the above act 1t is made the duty of the Chairman of the county central committee to file a certificate for legalizing the primary.
 At meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee held in the Elks hall in February, at which time the date for the primay was fixed, the following, among other resolutions, was adopted:
 Resolved, That the general cleo tlon laws, so far as they apply, shal. govern this primary.
 Yet the primary was never legal ized. It was given out that tLe primary was to be legalized elec- tion. The Central Committee had resolved that 1t should be held un- der the general election laws of the State, and the impression prevail cd throughout the county that it was a legalized primary.
 When the old central committee met in the Eks Hall on Monday, May 9, to canvass the returns from the said primary and when the pc titions of contestants were filed, under resolution offered by Mr. J. M. Taylor, Chairman Triplett voted that the vote should be can vassed and declared upon the face of the returns and that the con- testants should seek their rights in the courts, which could only be done under legalized election.
 MT. J. M. Taylor's motion was defeated and the central committee adjourned until June l, to give the contestan time to take deposit tiens. Subsequent to that, Chair man Triplett published a call for a meeting of the central committee to canvass the returns, passing his call upon section of the digest rela- tive to canvassing the returns of legalized elections. But when the committee met, pursuant to the call, there was not quorum pres ent and the committee was dismiss ed.
 Yet the primary had never been legalized, because the Chairman Of the central committeee had failed to file the certificate to legalize the same with the county clerk
 That is all past now, but never- theless it is an interesting develop ment and may bear significance.
 Why was not the primary legal ized as directed by the old central commute? And if it was not legal ized, why was the effort made to throw the contest into the courts? And why did Chairman Triplett issue call for the central commit tee to canvass the returns, basing his action upon section of the election law which could not apply if the primary was not a legalized primary?
 These are most interesting de. velopments, and, as we have before remarked, bear significance. In the light of these developments it is pertinent to inquire, was fraud premeditated? And did those who debauched and corrupted the ballot act advisedly and know that they could not be held amenable to the law?
 The GRAPHIC does not desire to reflect on anybody, and publishes these after-election developments simply because they are facts. It is our searchligM of truth at work, aud Ill the meantime if anybody can offer reasonable explanation, our columns are open to all
