PARTY PRIMARIES.
The Importance OF a Full Attendance.
Party Safety Lies in Ascertain
ing and Obeying The VIII Of
The People.

To the Editor: 1t has been said with
much truth that no man is wise
enough or good enough TO be the ruler
of another man. For the same rea-
sons, no man or set of men is wise
enough or good enough to select the
candidates or delegates of his or their
political party. There is but one safe
course, and that is to ascertain the
will of the whole party and obey that
will. This can only be done in the
primaries, and when there is full at
tendance. 1t therefore becomes the
solemn duty of every man, who has
at heart the good of his party and
his country, to attend his primary ana
there do his full duty as a man and
a citizen Men and sets of men often
have private ambitions and special
ends to serve. but the people as body
never desire anything save the public
veal. Nothing is weaker or more I'M
certain than man or a few men, but
nothing is stronger or safer than q
God-fearing people.
In the approaching State and county
conventions We will all have our ia
vorite candidates, our personal wishes
and hopes, but / deem it of the first
importance that the nominations to
be made shall reflect the will of the
majority of the whole party. This is
specially true, since in most instances
the nomination will be equivalent to
an election. 1t is a bad thing for "a
candidate to feel that he has been
beaten by u few men, but he can make
no complaint when the majority of his
party prefer another.
The highest civic duty which a citi-
zen is called upon to perform is cast
ing his vote in a party primary; there
by aiding in the selection of the men
who are to make the laws, who arr
to construe the laws, and who are to
enforce the laws. SO important is
this duty, that the founders of our
government never deemed it necessa-
ry to require its performance by law
under penalty, but have relied solely
upon that patriotism which should
prompt the actions of every citizen
Experience has shown that this is not
always enough; and it is to be hoped
that some day there will be a law
which will require the performance of
this duty just as the State requires
the performance of other civic duties
such as serving on juries, working the
roads, paying taxes and the like. But
for the present we can only appeal
to the people to perform voluntarily
this noblest and most important duty
of citizenship. 1t is a duty every man
owes to himself his country and his
State. It is a duty he owes to his
friends who are often striving for the
best yet against fearful odds. 1t is a
duty he owes to his party. since
political party is entitled to power only
so long as it ascertains and executes
the will of the majority of the people
1t is therefore earnestly to be hoped
that at the approaching primaries
every Democrat will inform himself
as to the political conditions and the
character of the candidate, will attend
his primary and vote with. an eye
single to the good of his State and
his party.
