New Works Primary Law.

We have been favored, by a former
Vermonter, now leading public man
and politician OF New York city with
a copy OF the New York state primary
election law. In view Of the probable
ity that the coming session of the Yer
mont legislature will have to consider
proposed legislation for the regulation
of caucuses and conventions. a brief
examination of the New York law may
be of general interest.
The New York law is applicable to
all cities and towns having a popula-
ton of 5000 or over. and may be ex-
tended to smaller towns which request
it, by vote. This law is a model of
thoroughness. Nothing calculated to
safeguard the honesty and fairness of
the primaries is overlooked Indeed,
the objection to il. from a Vermont
is that it is more elaborate
aud complicated than conditions here
warrant, and yet it is difficult to see
how any of its provisions could be

There is evidently a wide political
breach in st. Johnsbury between the
supporters of Gen. Grout and Senator
Ross, growing out OF the recent local
campaign, which resulted in the cleo
ton of a Democratic representative
from that Republican stronghold. The
Ross men charge Gen. Grout and his
leading workers with bad faith in not
standing to the agreement which they
allege was made early to the effect
that Grout should have the county
senators without opposition, while
Ross should have the representative
from his own town. Grout got the
senators, but Ross candidate for
was beaten. as the Ross
side believe, through the ill-eoncealed
treachery of Gen. Grout and his sup

boiler favorable to Grout. and later
went over to the Democrat, bound TO
