and It Will also serve to elucidate tbe
position of the people of this section
UpOh the question of primary elections.
Yhe Chairman of a certain demo
cratic club In attendance, somewhat
exasperated at an account of various'
charges preferred by Mr. Leslie, the
speaker, against bis party, Intercepted
Mm as follows
The Chairman—“Mr. Leslie, I would
like to ask you a question.
Mr. Leslie.—"Proceed to ask your
question, sir; t may answer your
question, and I may not.’
Tbe Chairman—“Mr. Leslie, you will
please tell die,” &a, &c, (submitting
the qucStlob.)
Mr. Leelie—“I decline to answer
yt>Ur question, sir.”
Chairman—“Upon What grounds?’
Mr. Leslie—“(ieoetnl principles.'’
And so it is that the people are op
posed, upon general principles, to an
other nominating convention. Unless
each man may go as a delegate and
tbe convention called be a mass meet
Ing. Tbe subject of primary elections,
eo ably reviewed in your popular jour
nal, seems to be eogaglag a good deal
of ptlpllC attention At this time.
Wherever we betfr nominating cooven
tlons spdfeen of we are sure to hear in
the earns connection of “log-rolling.”
“wire-pulling ” “juggling” and a num
ber of other sllch expressions, which
we do not prtetefi 1 to understand and
therefore can Cot perceive the applicA-
tlon. The subject Is pretty thorough
ly discussed ahd criticised and fre
quently without glove*. I will ven
ture the assertion from all th^t I can
gather that the pCbpItt of this portion
of Barnwell cotioty in a large majority
decidedly favor the primary election
system Or any other system In lieu of
tht» county convention Which Is most
heartily Cobdem&d Upoh getteral prin

attendance Was small and the few
