THURSDAY EVENING, AUG. %, 1901
AvoruvR primary slectiOn-the third

ANOTHER primary clection-tne tniiu
80 far 10 three yesrs-wss held To-Day
While conducted in comparatively or
DERBY manner, the same knihng aoo
cutting apparent in all others we're 10
evidence. There was no issue involved.
The democratic voters we're merely TO
decide which one OF two well-knowp
and capable gentlemen should be their
stsndsrd-bearer next November when
the general election for delegate from
this city and county to the Legislature
will be held. Two members OF the city
democratic committee from each ward
were also 10 be chosen. No Issue was
involved in this either. but the scram-
Bile for the position was as pro-
nouuced as was the contest for
nomination OF Delegate. 1t is the
conviction of many people that
/. is not political issues which contribute
30 much to the disiutegration OF par
ties as the spirited contests which are
continually carried on 10 their ranks. II
is a fact that the bitterness 10 party fac
tions becomes more rank every time
their "iamily variancss" are submitted
81 vote. Friends become estranged,
aud seeds OF strife are sown which
bring abundant crops. The history OF
this city for several years past affords
ample proof of this observation, and the
factions today were as determined as
ever. Allusion was made yesterday
to the fact that the candidates before the
democratic party today would be more
or lees trammeled with the unpopular
ity OF some OF their supporters. Why
this should be the case Ia hard to see.
There never was a candidate for any
important position who did not have
among his admirers people who had in
cured the dspleasure of others In one
way or another, but why the candidates
should be knitted on their account has
never been satisfactorily explained.
