The City Democratic Executive Commit tee met last night and adopted a plan for holding the municipal primary election on December 31st next, which with few min or exceptions is the same under which the last election was held.
 A proposition to change the plan of reg istration was voted down and a resolution requiring all printing to be done for the committee to bear as far practicable the union label and to be done by union print CTS was unanimously adopted.
 The meeting was harmonious and while there were some difference of opinion as to the details it was clearly the purpose of every member to act in the best inter- est of the party.
 The meeting was called to order in the Commercial Club rooms at 500 o'clock by Chairman John J. Moore, the following members answering the roll-call: Messrs Sullivan, Cox, Morgan, Crittendon Haley, Copeland, Antoine, Sulzman, Hawze, Ab- erathy, Rains, Rosser, O'Hare, and Tede- man. Proxies were held by Aldermen Heidt and Jones.
 The subcommittee on plans submitted its report through MT. Haley, who stated that the old plan had been adopted with few exceptions. The plan was read and on motion was taken up section by sec ton for adoption.
 On motion of MT. Jones', section two, which provided for a change in the system of registration, was stricken out, and the old plan subs stituted. Other minor changes were made and the plan adopted, the fol- lowing resolution by MT. Jones heinz made a part thereof:
 That registrars in wards 1 ard 2 be in- structed to keep ouen their books five days in the east ends and five days in the west ends of the wards.'
 A resolution that all printing as far as practicable bear the union label was intro- duced by Secretary Bains, but attention was called to the fact that the plan pro- vided that the ticke should bear no mark or device.
 As a substitute, Alderman Jones moved that the committee require all printing to be done by union printers, which was unan- imously adopted.
 There was some discussion as to the re- spective amounts required from the candi- dates and regarding the committee of ar- rangement, which were satisfactorily ad- justed, after which the committee ad- journed.
 The Plan Adopted.
 Following is the plan under which the election will be held:
 Section 1. A primary election shall be held in each of the nine wards of the city of Birmingham on Monday, December 31, 1900, for the following officers: Mayor of the city and three (S) Police nYl,ics of t1 h, elected by the city at large; one Alderman
