to a full meeting OF the State commit
tee on January 10.
The plan provides that all voting for
the nomination OF national, State, and
LEGAL officers shall be under what is
known ss the viyi voce system. All
persons participating 10 the primaries
will be required to pledge themselves
to vote for the party nominees.
For the nomination of United States
Senators it Is provided that q general
primary shall be held throughout the
State on the first Thursday 10 Septem.
Der OF the year 10 which the legislature
ia chosen which will elect the Senator.
Aspirants for the senatorship will
be required to give notice in writing
to the Senate chairman not later than
the first Thursday 10 June Of that year.
The State central committee will decide
the amount Of assessments to believe
on the candidates. The county and
city committees will select three judges
for each voting prtc net, one Of the
Judges to serve as clerk. The judges
snail certify the results TO the city or
county chairman within two days, who
in turn will be required to certify to
the State committee within FIVE days.
The chairman will then call the State
committee together, and the vote will
be cauvassed and the result announced.
For the nomination OF State elective
officers the primaries will be held not
more than ninety nor less than sixty
days prior to the election, and will be
conducted in the same manner. The
primaries for the nomination of candi-
dates for member of Congress will be
conducted by congressional distric,
committee, who will appoint the time
and canvass the returns. In other re.
spects the system will be the same. II
only one person files written notice OF
his candidacy before the expiration Of
the time set for such notices, the COM
mittee will meet and declare such per-
son the nominee. Contests will be sub
iect to appeal from the district to the
State committees. For nominating can
didates for the State Senate the system
will be the same, except that the sena-
torial district committees will have
charge. County and city committees
will have charge of the primaries for
members OF the House OF Delegates and
county and city offices, under the gen.
eral provisions of the plan.
AS to county and city officers, the
matter Of executing the plan is left to
the local committees. 1t provided that
the cost of she primaries shall be borne
by the candidates for nomination. and
it is estimated that state primary
election will cost about $4,000. II the
the plan be adopted by the full COM
mitlee, a bill will shartly be introduced
making all elections held under il leg
allied, in order to afford proper protec-
ton against fraud. The plan ls to 20
into effect next fall.

MacIay knew it ALI.

New York. Dec. 14.-Eigar S.Maclay
the naval historian, was seen at the
Brooklyn navy yard this morning. He
was asked "Whl the findings of the
Court OF Icquiry have any effect upon
the wording of the passages 10 your
book regarding Admiral Schley's con-
duct of the campaign" He replied.
"The wording OF that portion OF the
book has been changed. The fact must
stand. The wording was changed
few months ago. The book will now
be- issued 10 a few days. 10 it will sp.
pear the report of the court. want
to be fair. Nothing was suppressed.
10 answer to questions Mr.. Maolay
continued: "All the statements have
made have been substantisted by the
testimony presented to the court. l
knew what the verdict OF the court
would be two months ago, for, in view
of the testimony, no other decision
could have been rendered"

SATURDAY EVENING, DEC. IA, 1901

The ECHLEY court of inquiry has
handed 10 its verdict aud the result
differs but little from what had been
anticipated. Certain naval officers had
determined, If possible, to cast the Ad-
miral into an eclipse in spite OF facts,
common sense and the remarkable re-
suits at Santiago, and the opinions OF
two meu, who never fought a naval
battle under modern surroundings,
declare him guilty Of disobedience OF
orders, vascillation, &C., while the third
member Of the court, an officer who
had brayed similar difficulties rs sur
rounded Admiral Schley end who was
equally successful, sustains him in all
particulars. The opinions OF two men
will, of course, have but little weight
with the great mass Of American
people. They have ever regarded Ad-
miral Schley as competent naval
officer and are convinced that he has
been the victim of maliciousness on the
part of those who should have
sustained him.

Mr.. ROBINSON, OF Indiana, yesterday
introduced two measures in the House
of Representatives designed to secure
the extradition from Indiana to Ken
lucky of Ex-Governor Taylor, OF Ken
lucky, wanted in connection with the
Goebel tragedy. One of the bills is for
an investigation whether the Governor
of any State is refusing to recognize ex-
tradition papers from the Governor OF
another State. The other measure pro-
yides that In case Governor refuses to
recognize extradition papers they may
be executed by United States marshal.
The constitution already provides for
the extradition OF criminals and the re-
fusal of the Governor OF Indiana to
honor the requisition OF the Governor
of kentucky for those connected with
the Goebel murder is an open setting
at defiance Of the fundamental law OF
the land.

the report OF the joint legislative and
convention committee relating to the
