PRIMARY ELECTIONS.

Mr.. Reddy's bill proposing 20 use the
machinery OF our regular election sys-
tenn to give the people an opportunity TO
express their preferences for candidates
for the United States Senate is attract
ing much attention.
lie clearly details his plan, and shows
how a primary may be conducted under
1t without expense. and. as a matter OF
course. challenges his brother members
20 offer a better scheme.
That the great majority of the mem
bers OF our party would like to nave
hereafter a direct voice in the nomination
OF senator's. we think there can be no
doubt. The proposition showed great
strength I'm the Roanoke convention, and
could not have been defeated there but
for the fact that IT was argued that the
question was a brand-new one and that
the vote upon the report Of the Commit
tee on Resolutions was postponed until
large number Of the members Of the
convention had left for their homes. IL
can be said no longer that the question
is new one; nor Is II belieyable that
action upon the subject will be deferred
until near the close OF the session.
We trust that II other gentlemen have
Schemes to offer they will at once place
them In competition with Mr.. Reddys,
so that members and the general public
may decide which is the best. So sure
are we that the masses wish legislation
upon the subject. we cannot but believe
it would be unfortunate II this legislative
session should close with public expecta-
ton disappointed
Thousands Of our voters were dissatis-
fed with the Roanoke convention for
failing to act favorably upon the COM
mittee's recommendation, and it is safe
to say that ten times as many would be
dissatisfied If this Legislature ignored
popular opinion upon this question.
Further, a general primary election law
is demanded. In May next Richmond
and many other cities and towns Will
elect their corporation officers. Most OF
these will be nominated by primary cleo
tons and every one Of those primaries
ought to be safeguarded by law. Any
wrong-doing at a primary should be made
punishable just as if it were done at
regular election.
We think legislation carrying out this
view would be approved almost unani-
mously by the Democrats of this state.
Moreover. we think the general wish
is for an early consideration Of all mat
tiers relating to primaries. Let all bills
and resolutions relating to them be fully
discussed at an early day. Let not the
Of them be deferred to the /
hurly-burly of the closing hours Of the
session. That. indeed. would be policy
fraught with infinite danger to our party.

DAVIS s. sAvARD's BRIDGEPORT STORE
INCLUDED IN THE MARCH OF IMPROVE
MENTs.

AENTSs
For the past month there have been
under process a number of changes in
Main street, not the least important of
which are those at Fairfield avenue, at
Davis 81 Savard's clothing house. The
alterations are not fully complete, but
finished enough to give one an idea of
what they will be when completed. One
of the desirable changes is the new side
walk, made of vitrified stone, and is SIM
liar to the one in front of the Court Ex-
change in State street. The builders
impr ovements in the store are more ex-
tensive and elaborate. The clothing
house has new modern front of glass
that gives style and attractiveness to the
corner, and makes q decided change from
the eld-fsshioned front. The windows
themselves are attractive, and they are
the only ones of their kind in the state.
The large plate glass fronts are Joined
together at the corner by angle irons
only and are made water and air tight at
the joints by rubber cement. The sb-
sehSe VI casing VI any htnu EItTActs un4-
versal notice. The display room is very
deep, and the corner window looks like
glass extension.
The interior of the store has also under
gone number of alterations, which viii
make it one of the most attractive cloth
ing houses in the city. Where formerly
there were three small windows on the
Fairfield avenue side, are now three large
ones. This is apparent at once by the
frightening of the store. There ia s new
metallic ceiling, and the entire interior
shows the effects of the months work,
by the new show cases, the new office in
the rear and in other ways too numerous
to mention.-T Farmer.

The Danbury Fair.
THE GREAT SHOW PROMISES TO BIZ
BETTER THAN EVER.


Another year has come and the great
fair announces it's date in our advertis-
ing columns as October to 8. On Mon
day it's gates will be open on grounds in
complete order and ready for business.
Not the least of the sights of the fair
will be the new buildings erected since
the fair of last year. The main build
ing, with administration building in
front, containing all the offices of the So
ciety, is built in the form of horse shoe
and surrounds the immense tents. The
bench show and poultry buildings are
each 60x100 feet, with ornamental off
ces in front, and are located near the
main building. Machinery hall is just
north of the above building, and in the
rear is located new storehouse for the
convenience of exhibitors who desire TO
save the packing cases, etc., in which the
goods are received. In variety and ex-
tent of exhibit this year will be record
breaker. More cattle, horses, dogs,
poultry and sheep than ever before.
More and greater variety of exhibits in
building and tent than ever before. Go
early in the week and see all that you
can and continue to go each day until
you have seen 1t all.
