The Democratic party will go as a
united body to the primaries. The Demo-
crat-CitiZens' city committee met at
Chairman Michaels' office in the Man
haitian building last evening to congrat-
ulate itself upon the assurance of the
Democratic city committee, that its pri-
maries would be held open, with no at
tempt to abridge the right of the voters.
This happy decision was unanimously
reached after one of the most harmonious
meetings in the history of the Democratic
party. In taking this position publicly
the Democrats realize that 1t will at
once disapprove the attempts of the oppo-
sition to create internal strife in the
Democratic party and from now on the
party will labor in unceas;ng harmony
for the success of the entire party tick
ct. AS evidence of this fact the COM
mittee voted to assist in the securing
of places for holding the primaries and
to also engage in posting the notices.
Chairman Michael will inform Chairman
Bell of this action, which proved
source of decided satisfaction, as it was
stated that Chairman Bell has asked
for such cooperation.
AS an indication of the complete har-
mony the committee was but few mo-
ments in transacting the business that
called it together The unusually IA
vorable conditions, auguring Demo-
cratic victory, led to a unanimity OF
opinion that there was only one course
to pursue, and that a united effort. Ev-
cry ward was represented and every
committeeman was of the same opin-
ion. So when the motion to accept
Chairman Bells promise was put there
was not a dissenting vote. The motion
was enthusiastically carried, and then
followed the Instructions to Chairman
Michael to officially inform Chairman
Bell of what had been done Upon every
side the heartiest felicitation was ex-
pressed over the action of the committee
and the meeting adjourned with every
committeeman confident of a Democratic
victory.
