CITY PAIMARIES
OF DEMOCRATIC
PARTY HELD TODAY

Today under cloudy skies the Dem
ocratic primary for the nomination of
city jailer, city treasurer, aldermen,
and school trustees is on.
The voting has been unusually light,
and II is probable that only a half
of voters when the polls opened, but
from 7 o'clock until closing time the
voters were scattering. No excite
ment has arisen, and all OF the sa-
looms are closed as on the regular
election day.
For the nomination of city jailer
the fight has been comparatively
keen, and the nine aspirants have
not let moss grow under their feet
on the last day. Apparently II is
anybody's race until the ballots are
counted. and 1t is thought that re-
turns may be known by O'Clock
owing to the light vote.
The race for the nomination of
city treasurer is lukewarm. but the
Interest in the election of the minor
Offices is not attracting the attention
of the voters. Several buggies have
been in use.
Most Of the polls were open at
O'Clock, although there was a little
annoyance oceasioned by several Off
GERS not serving. The members of
the Democratic committee hustled,
and supplied all OF the vacancies.

At the Rink.

When the Auditorium rink was
reached, it was seen that the seating
arrangements were wholly inadequate
Probably a third OF the crowd could
not find seats. A speakers stand had
been set up. as well as one for the
band. which played between address
es. Ice water was provided at each
end of the big building. Delegates
who had gotten badges at the Com
mercial club and New Richmond
House early in the morning, were
given the preference in the seating.
Shartly after 10 o'clock Mr. r. l..
Barnett, who has been working for
two years organizing the movement
rim Kentucky. called the convention to
order with a brief wey-note speech.
The name of Kentucky brought out
the first applause of the meeting. Mr..
Barnett said the people have deter
mined to manage their own business
henceforth. and then introduced
Mayor James p. Smith who was to
welcome the convention on behalf OF
Paducah.
Mayor Smith was cordially received
and made a happy impression on the
audience. He said be had 400 acres
IN the county aud had learned that IL
takes a specially trained man to make
Il pay When It does begin to take
care of itself. he thought he would
join the union. HIS invitation for
themselves to make themselves at
home. and declaration that IL vas the
largest crowd OF strangers he had
ever seen in the city, assembled in
one place brought out hearty cheers.
For the convention, the Rev. Rob
ert Johnston, a Methodist minister OF
Crittenden county. made the response.
His speech Of 40 minutes was punct-
uated literally by applause and one Of
the most significant bursts of applause
was when he declared that the Farm
ers' Union is not band of night rid
ers. He compared the farmers now
to the Children Of Israel, who were
brought out of oppression and under
took TO draw a biblical parallel be-
tween the condition OF the American
farmer today and the Israelites Of
Moses time.
All of the addresses OF the morn
ing accentuated the point that every
peaceable means would be exhausted
to obtain redress for their grew
ances. before any forcible measures
would be tolerated. The candidate
for Office who backs water on his ante
election promises came in for scath-
ling rebuke. That the consumer
would be benefited equally with the
producer. but that the middleman OF
every description would be eliminated
was stated as the object of the move
ment.
Community OF Interest.
Mr. Joe Desberger,. representing
Central Labor union, OF Paducah, adj
dressed the convention after the Rev.
Robert Johnston, and he dwelt on
the community of interest between
the union of farmers and the union
of mechanical trades in the cities.
His speech was followed by one from
T. j. Brooks. state secretary of Ten
nessee. and the convention adjourned
at 1895 O'Clock for dinner. Captain
