OBJECTION TO THE PRIMARY.

Riding on the train recently we
heard an ardent and life long Demo-
crat denOuncing the primary plan as
the rich mans friend and poor man :
enemy. He said the poor man was
eliminated from the hope of Office by
reason Of his inability to contribute 10
the expenses of the primary. This
one Democrat at least is fighting mad
with the primary, and if the feeling
perNades the commonwealth, the plan
will fall into disfaNor. We don't
know that the Democrats will ever
get together 1t is deplorable that
they don't, bat somehow they wont.
The religious awakening that had
its birth on foreign shores is already
being felt in ourcountry. Its already
known that the church has brought
about the rspentance Of the officials of
Ocean City, n. j.; that the clergy Of
Greenpoint, l.. L., are making daily
parades at the head of their fIocks
through its haunts of wickedness;
that the spiritual shepherds ofHagers-
town, Md, are conducting open-air
reVivals; that in 81. Louis, Mo-, the
Folk crusade is being followed up by
MONDAY prayers for the Maynard in
public and private life, and that in
Stamford, Conn, the mayor has been
converted, and has opened his Office
for watch meetings.
Farmville should unite in singing,
and AS they sing make it prayer.
