REGULARS change the DATE.
WIN Hold Their Primary Election on We'd
nesday, Nav 1Sth.


nesday, Nav 1Sth.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Regular Republican city committee
filed with the Department of Elections
certificate TO the effect that the
primaries of the Regulars would be
held on Wednesday, May 10th, it has
been decided that the primaries are to
be held week later, Wednesday, May
17th, and formal application will be
made to the department on Monday
night for permission to withdraw the
original certificate and substitute one
calling for the election to be held on
May 18th. 1t is altogether likely that
the department will consent to the
change being made.
just what object there was in keep
ing the correct information from the
public is not apparent, as at the time
the date was fixed the Union Republi-
cans had fixed the time for holding
their primaries and there was no
reason to believe that they would
select the 10th.
1t was reported on Saturday that
there was probability of the Union
people changing their date from the
Goth to the 10th, but Col. ID. p.
Barnard, one of the leading Union
city committeeman, when seen this
afternoon, said so far as he knew
there was no proposition to change the
date and he did not know OF any reason
why it should be changed. Some of
the leading Union men have been in
favor Of having no primaries at all /;
that is, making the nominations at
city and ward meetings, but, while
Col. Barnard is favorable to that plan,
he believes that the primaries will be
held
