PRIMARY ELECTIONLAW UNDE MOCRATlC

Under the present convention system
it occasionally happens that an undesir
able candidate gets plurality vote ON
the Ht0iHidi ballot when there are
several candidates for the nomination;
but ~ majority of all the delegates to
the convention is required for a nom
ination, it will rarely happen that a bad
or an unpopular and Objectionable can
didate will be able to get the requisite
support to secure the nomination. tot
in such u case one or more Of the other
candidates will usually be dropped i'm
medlately after the feeler the Informal
ballot has revealed the danger. In
snch n case the first formal ballot will
show result decidedly different from
that of the informal ballot. II will
reveal the fact that some of the opposition
votes have been concentrated upon some
candidate other than the undesirable or
objectionable one, who, though ne had
the support of plurality of the delegates
whose votes We're scattered among a
number Of candidates. will be unable to
rally TO his support n majority of the
delegates, except in the case Of corrup
ton, which is comparatively rare.
The present convention system is demo
ocratic Under it the majority in n
party rules.
Not So with the proposed primary
election law Under that law n candi
date who had but small minority of
his party vote could be declared tine
candidate Of the party for an Office. if
there were several candidates in the
field for the nominations for that law
provides that plurality shall be sniff
cient for nomination. In case there
are three candidates, ii would be well
nigh certain that the nominee would
have only the support Of u mere minority
Of the party; and the more candidates
there are IN the field the smaller the
minority that might be sufficient to
secure nomination
Under the proposed primary election
system it would often happen that the
only alternative a vast majority Of a
party would have to escape from voting
for an objectionable candidate would be-
the privilege Of voting for the nominee
of the opposing party, who might posi-
bly, be equally undesirable

DEMOCRATIC DUTY.
From the Portage Democrat.

From the Portage Democrat.
The leaders OF the faction of the
Republican party are in war to the ex
termination Of one or the other crowd
while the honest voter in The Republican
party disgusted with the condition OF
affairs in his party ashamed of the ex
posures Of corruption made by his own
party is ready, willing and anxious tc
rebuke his own leaders and will do il
by voting the Democratic ticket IA soon
Us he cln get to the polls.
The danger Of failure to rebuke the
factioualist@ of the Republican party
lies with the Democrats, not with the
Republicans
The Democratic duty is for every
Democrat ana every person having
Democratic blood in his viens to 20 tC
the polls ana vote the straight Democrat
ic ticket from top to bottom. A united
front by the Democracy will save Wis
con4in from further dishonor,
But Democrats, you cannot do it by
mixing in the brols of the other party
Nou cannot do II by catering to the good
fellowship Of some republican candidate
for local Office You must do it by fight
ing for Democracy shoulder to shoulder,
courageously aud fearles1ly. Gou can
not do it by creating dissension within
your party by supporting any candidate
on the other ticket Your vote must be
solid straight
The Democratic ticket, national, state,
Legislative and county, is superior to the
ticket of the Republicans III every re.
spect Hence il Democrats want party
success if they are Democrats, If they
want to do their Democratic duty, they
will every last one of them go to the
polls aul assist in getting many Others
to go there aud vote the straight Demo
cractc ticket from president to coroner
without scratch or IA blemish.
That is Democratic duty.

population-S. 100, s53 in 1S4l-tens Of
thousands of Irish people have immi-
grated into other nations in the Eastern
Hemisphere, and besides the enormous
immigration into the United STATES
from Ireland thousands Of Erins sons
and daughters have focked to other
countries in the New World. When all
these facts are taken into consideration
it will appear beyond the merest shadow
of a doubt that the Irish race has large
| lv increased since the time of Erin 6
maximum population. The Irish race
is certainly not dying out, and it would
be contrary to the laws of the increase
of races and contrary to the facts OF
history if it were. History teaches the
unchanging truth that vice is dis
integrating agency and that the more
depraved and corrupt a race is the more
speedily it will approach extinction.
This, also, is in accordance with the
teachings Of the worlds most eminent
scientists. Virtue, on the other hand,
is a cohesive force-an uplifting power
"a multiplying agency-with any race
that possesses it. The law of the Sur
vival of the fittest' applies not only to
the human race, but is equally appli-
cable to the kingdom Of the lower
animals and to the realm of vegetable
life.
According to this law the Irish race is
| bound TO flourish to increase and multi
ply Decadence does not threaten the
sons and daughters OF Erin, Decadence
| IL due to the substitution Of vice, de-
pravity, and corruption for the domestic
virtues That the Irish possess all the
cardinal domestic virtues il universally
recognized. Their domestic affections
are deep ardent, constant and endur-
during Attachment and fidelity to
relatives and friends find in them a
decidedly pronounced expression.
As n rule Irish people lin Ireland)
marry early and have large families.
| How much has been said and written Of
the self denial Of Irish immigrants in
this country How they will strive to
save the greater part Of paltry stipend
in order to render assistance to some
poverty stricken relative in their dear
native land or to enable their parents or
brothers and sisters to come over
Verify, they have the capacity for self
denial and self sacrifice in the interest
Of those dependent upon them.
Besides the Irish are a race Of splendid
physical stamina and unsurpassed in
tellectuality.
Moreover, the Irish are religious
people and patriotic people.
A race possessing all these attributes
an admirable physique extraordinary
mentality, deeply religious nature, an
intense, self sacrificing patriotism, all
the cardinal domestic virtues, n race
possessing these characteristics il not
very likely to die out
The Irish element has welded n
potent influence in shaping our institu-
tions Many of the brightest legal
political journalistic and medical lights
in the country are Of Celtic extraction
At present there is a pronounced
tendency to check emigration in Ire
land This IL largely due to better con
ditions Of living and the spirit Of hope
funess that now pervades the atmos-
phere Of Erins lsle In view of all the
facts above set forth ii is difficult to see
race IL in its decadence.
