for June IS.

Democratic State Chairman j. Taylor
Ellyson has issued the call for meet
ing Of the Democratic State Central Com
mittce at Murphy's Hotel in this city

The purpose Of the meeting is to arrange
for the State Democratic primary for tho
nomination of n candidate for United

perlntcndent Of Public instruction and
other officers. The committee will dis
pose Of any other business that may prop
erly come before It.
Great interest attaches to this meeting
OF the committee for the reason that It
agree upon the assessment of candidates
to meet the expenses, and fix the hours
and arrange all other details as to pay
Of judges and clerks etc. Considerable
date Of the primary and as to whether
Judges may be secured to serve without
pay: It was, the idea of the, committee
in 1892 that judges could be secured who
would serve without pay, and thus reduce
the burden of the candidates.
Limit to Be Fixed.
The State Committee will also fix the
date after which no one may enter the
candidacy list. Such notices Of candidacy
must be given in writing to the State
chairman at least thirty DAYS before the
primary.
The committee, It is expected. will also
be called upon to consider the Norfolk
county factional fight in some form. The
city of Portsmouth has decided to have
a separate primary for the nomination OF
a candidate for. the State Senate. The
Norfolk county Democracy who also par
ticipatc in the selection OF the senator,
desire that a Joint primary be held. The
matter has been decided and then recon-
sdered. and a proposition has been made
for a reconsideration of the reconsiderl-
ton. This will probably have to be de-.
terlnined by the State Committee. Ports
mouth. according to the rule of alternn-
iton, is entitled ito the senator. but Nor
folk county claims the right to a voice
in the selection OF the Portsmouth man.
It Is not improbable. also, though no
authoritative statement Gamble had yet,
that a proposition will be made by one
of the factions for aprimary in Norfolk
county, under the direct supervision OF a
