Of the wreck south, Special O@ces
Rose had . sound up with .
"troublesome Turk. who was one
Of the passenger bound for San
francisco with troupe Of Turk
ish aesobsts. The Turk made
himself obnoxious to several pas
sengers. and finally capped the
climax by getting into . lady's
seat and refusing to bulge. The
passengers learned that the OBJ
noxious Turk WAS the 'stsong
man" Of the party. and on the
stage amused himself with han
ding Eve hundred round dumb
bells and other light weight para
phernalia. The passengers sent
for 40 officer and when Mr. Rose
arrived be tried the gentle art Of
persuasion. but il wouldn't work.
The Turk said he had been all
over the world, knew his rights
and dared the officer to move hun.
That was . bad break to make to
Rose. The officer grabbed the
Turk. but soon found that he
might rs we'll try to move one OF
the big Santa Fe engines n to

The Turk wore long hair like

and behold the Turk-he stirs, he
starts. he moves. he seems to teei
the thrill Of life along his keel. aud

aisle. From that time on. during

the mildest hammered man that

TIE PRIMARY CONVENTION IDEA.
Then we had quite long discussion
as to whether the primary system, as
at present operated, was really the
best method OF choosing candidates,
and if better results could not be OBJ
tained and better men could not be in
duced to run for ohce, especially Of
fees other than that Of Governor, il
delegates to a State convention were
elected under the primary system, and
the nominees Of the party chosen by
such convention. Senator Tillman S id
that unfortunately the primary sys-
TEN had gone somewhat astray in this
respect. as the candidates for State Of
fees, other than Governor, had very
little to show in the campaign, and
the best men we're not always select
ed, but be was satisfied that the peo-
pie would not consent to any change
In the primary system, nor would they
coz. ent to convention OF delegates
OF electoral COLLEGE selected under a
primary system. BE thought that the
people we're satisfied with their selec
tions, and they were not going to give
up any Of the rights that they now
had under the primary system, and
that there was no CHARGE at this time
for the electoral college idea.
LEGISLATORS VOTE FOR EACH OTHER
Then Senator Tillman brapched out
and said that unfortunately the very
best results we're not to be had from
even smaller bodies, and be cited the
past elections by the General Assem-
3ly in support OF this proposition, and
said that be had always been convirc-
ed that it was poor policy for body
Of this kind to select most OF the elec-
tive officers from among it's cwn mem
bers, but such policy CT reciproc-
ity seemed to exist and to be grow
ing. BE thought that this was net at
all in the right line, but that it simply
indicated what an electoral coll &c
election undsr the primary system
might Go, and that perhaps the peo-
pie we're right in holding fast to every
privilege that they now had under
the primary system.

wards Congre ssionaI Reduction.
Proposed reduction OF Southern rep.
resentation, as voiced in the Chicago
platform, is little credited among the
we'll informed. Congress in neither
branch is likely to enter upon such 9
programme. But the subject contin
ues in the forum OF political discus.
sion, where it is kept by many OF tie
very Republican Leaders who, in pri.
vate, emphasize the utter impossible.
Ity, II not unHisdcm, Of such action,
In meeting such a discussion, th+
Southerners differ widely in their
views.
a few days ago Representative Bur
lescc. OF Texas, told The Post tha,
be you'd practically welcome such q
crusace, Il the Republicans wanted tt
enter upon it. Representative Sims,
Of Tennessee, who comes from one u
the close congressional districts Of the
South, but, after untiring work, has
beer reelected By a good majority, lit.
tie effected by the general Democratic
slump elsewhere in the state, thinks
that is not the correct attitude to as.
sumo.
I grant that the posi- sibilities of &C.
ton by congress to reduce our repre-
sentation are remote" says Mr Sims,
II am one Of those who think that
not even the house Of representatives
will undertake any legislation Of that
character, to say nothing of the sen
ate, where the battle would be fought
to the last ditch. But DO not believe
that the Democratic party shoulc
challenge its opponents to the step. 1t
is enough for US to be ready to defend
ourselves whenever we are attacked.
We have good defense. And yet it
is not necessary for US to constantly
provoke the Republicans By inviting
Ehem to make great issue on that
plank in their platform.
Mr.. Sims says that pluralities in
several sections OF Tennessee were
largely reduced at the recent election.
Congressional districts that have been
going Democratic by 5000 or 1000
returned Democratic menber by less
than 1000 plurality. The indifference
Of The voters was very marked al dur.
