The republicans of Decatur county at
their late convention adopted the pri-
mary system Of nominating county
officers. 1t was thought the old caucus
system permitted too many trades, and
that the will of the people was often
defeated in the selection of candidates.
1t SO happens that the county that has
the caucus system wishes it had the
primary system, and the county that
has the primary system wishes it had
the old caucus system. We are never
