The star received this morning the
telegram:
jacksonville, April 4--Under resolu-
ton OF the state committee. the cam
palgn committee was required to print
on the ballot the names of all known
candidates for president The resolu-
tion has been violated by Chairman
Price In the interest OF fair play, l
hope You viii read the resolution and
publish IL.
Wilson will speak in Jacksonville.
Thursday night. April 18TH
J. T. G. Crawford.
The resolution referred to by Mr..
Crawford reads as follows:
Resolved further. That the cam
paign committee cause to be printed
on the ballot the names of all known
democratic candidates for the office OF
president of the United States, ana
that in case none of such candidates
receive a majority Of all votes cast in
the first primary, then. in such event,
that the names of the two candidates
/ Tor said office who have received the
greatest number OF votes cast in the
| first primary, shall be printed upon
the ballots as such candidates for said
office in the second primary; that the
icandfdate receiving the majority vote
| for said office of all ballots cast shall
! be declared to be the first choice OF
1.-THE democratic party of the state OF
Florida for said office; and that the
delegates to the national convention
who may be elected in manner afore-
said are instructed to cast their vote
/ for such candidates so receiving such
majority vote for said office as the first
tchoice of the democratic party of the
Estate of Florida"
1t is plain to see by the foregoing
that Mr.. Price has exceeded his pow
ers and usurped authority.
/ This is the latest in series Of ac-
lions that shows Mr. Price to be more
LOT an autocrat than a democrat. This
lStar thinks it would be appropriate
and salubrious to depose him from tbs
craftsmanship of the state COMMITTEES
lat its next meeting.

face, "and I have only fourteen hens!"

THE RESURRECTION.

The first day of the week
cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when it was yet dark, unto the
sepulchre, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulchre.
Then she runneth, and cometh
to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple whom Jesus loved, and
saith unto them, They have
taken away the Lord out Of the
sepulchre, and we know not
where they have laid him. Peter
therefore went forth, and that
other disciple. and came to the
sepulchre. So they ran both
together; and the other disciple
did outrun Peter, and came first
to the sepuIchre. And he stoop-
ing down, and looking in, saw
the linen clothes lying; yet went
ne not in. Then cometh Simon
Peter following him, and went
into the sepulchre, and seeth
the linen clothes lie; and the
napkin, that was about his head,
not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place
by itself. Then went in also
that other disciple which came
first to the sepulchre, and he
saw, and believed. For as yet
they knew not the Scripture,
that he must rise again from the
dead. Then the disciples went
away again unto their own
honest. John 20: LII.
