the Result.

There will probably be some inter-
esting and complicated develop
ments in Maury county as well as in
the other counties Of the state as the
result Of the appointment of county
election commissioners by the Carter
or new state board.
A municipal election will be held in
Columbia next October for the pur-
pose of electing mayor and six al
dermen. That will occur before the
supreme court hears and decides the
election law appeal. In the mean
time the regular biennial registration
Of voters N all of the districts of the
county will be held. Now if there
are two. county commissions, as there
doubtless will be, and both claim to
be regular and legal, which will hold
the biennial registration and which
will conduct the election in Colum-
bia?
McS0IS D. louu6 duu CAiduu, vi tnC
old state ocard of elections, have is
sued statement advising the old
county boards to continue to act until
the supreme court decides the cleo
ton appeal against them. Should
this advice be followed in Maury
county it is probable that biennial
registration would be ordered by both
boards. And it is possible that both
boards would order elections in the
city of Columbia, causing no end OF
confusion.
The regularity of the biennial reg
istration would doubtless be put uT
to County Judge Mcknight for deci
sion. The county would not of course
pay both Gets Of registrars so that the
question weu1d he squarely up to the
county's fiscal agent for decision.
1t has been suggested that in order
to avoid any doubt of the legality
the city election IL October next that
both of the commissions, the old
headed by Chairman James H. Kan
non, and the new o be appointed
Join in the call and join in the can
vass of the votes. If this were done
there would then be no question
whatever the result of the decision
of the supreme court might be.
Should the old commission decline
to act further and the city election
should be held by the new board, ant
the supreme court reverse Judge Al
ilson, then the election would be lille
gal and void On the other hant
should the election be held by thu

PRESIDENTIAL PATRONAGE.

The public is no longer RECALLED
with stories about patronage hunting
in Washington says the Star For a
time yarns on that subject had a
wide newspaper circulation AS they
ran. that town was crowded with Dem.
ccrats impatient for recognition in the
way OF office. Hotels and lodging
houses were congested Streets in the
neighborhood OF the White House
were blocked. Theafaithful had gath
cred from all quarters, and life had
become burden to everybody sus-
peeted of having a pull" with the
president.
r.. The vein seems to have been
worked out The hungry host seems
TO have disappeared, Space once ac-
corded by newspapers to such descrip-
lions is now devoted to other subjects.
As a matter O. fact the situation
was greatly magnihed. The crowds
were neither as large nor as clamor-
GUS as represented They did not
.orertaN the hotels, and did not inter
fere with street traffic. Neither did
any senator collapse under calls for
assistance. There was no comparison
between this situation and that which
marked the return Of the Democracy
Il aatlonal power in 1885.

this subject. Few office seekers are

And they are stin in hand.
The presidency as Mr., Wilson is
finding out, imposes many and heav.
