Gazsv r,s couNr has adopted
the primary election system by a
largo mn jority. The people are
tired bf Conventions.
A DIBPATOS from Salt Lake City
says: "The weather is cool, with
frosts in the mountains at night."
Happy b1ormns I
DURING THREE days of last week
one hundred and twenty-eight cases
of sunstroke occurr6d in New York
and Brooklyn, of ihich twenty-four
were fatal. e
FIFTEEN HUNDRED delegaters att
.iended the Texas Democratic Con
vention, and they took about a
week to renominate Governor
Hubbard. Two-thirds were neoes
sary to a choice.
THB CHARLESTON Democrats had a
gratifying convention on Monday.
Hampton and the State ticket and
Senator Butler were endorsed, and
Hon. M. P. O'Connor was declared
the choice for Congress. Charlostot
is well in line.
THEY USED TO have revolutions in
San Domingo every twelve months.
But this danger has been averted
for the future by the adoption of a
constitution providing for a presi
dential term of only one year. The
people can now vote a man out
instead of running him out with
guns and swords. This is a step
forward.
UNITED STATES Treasurer Gilifillan
has issued a circular to the country
national banks, asking them how
many silver dollars they can put in
- circulation in thirty, sixt.y and
ninety days, and offering to, sena
the amounts required by express at
the expense of the goverment. We
can take any number of them down
htan. if they ill gve 'em awav.
SECRETARY Fisu told a reporter
the other day that Graht did not
desire a third term and in his
opinion, would not be nominated,
among other reasons, because no
one has ever beens nominated after
having been talked about for three
years previously. Mr. Horace
R Whitesays that Edmnunds will be
the Republican candidate.
A Lively Quarrel.
donsiderable commot'ioni exists in
the Alexandria, Virginia, Congres
sional district,-in which Gen. Eppa
Hunton is a candidaite fot- ronni
nation. Ditring the l'ast session
General Hunton introduced a bill
authorizing pay'nent of certain
*claims against the District- of Co'
lumbia aggregating tivo milflin of
dollars. The taxpayers' association,
of which Mr. Columbus Alexander
is the president and ruling spirit,
had obtained an injunction against
the payment of these claimR, and
the bill practically dissolved the
injunction. A judge of the courts of
the district' protested agaiinst the
bill, stigmatizing the claims as
barefaced frauds. Nevertheless
General Huniton pushed' it through.
In a recen' speech General Hunton
claimed that he had received Mr.
Alexander's assent to the bill. Mr.
Alexander denied the assertion,
and wrote a pretty i1lain' ldeter
a'ecusing Hunton" of chttmpioning
fraud. General Hunton, as a gen
Itlemnan and a cAndidate for re
election, natur'ally reenlted the
charge. But as Virgin'ia- has' pre
soribed' sti-ingent regulationw to
' prevenit an infitriate individual from
vindicating his honor by perforating
his antagonist's anatcniy with dold
lead, or boring holes throttgh- uim
with a rapier, o0' cti'tting'off httu1ke
-of flesh with a cutlass,- arid more
over regards. a '4second" as a
principal, defiereI- Hunton was
ompelled. to resort to v'agnie iin
~aations, donveYM thitoith the
gnoble meiunt of a registered
letter, postage prepaid, to .Mr.
*Alexander, fio moet him, in A4lexan-.
ton police might prevent nu ..iter.
view in the National Capital. Bitt
Columbus banikered not for fresh
explorations, and Alexander sighed
not wo2th a tent for new worlds to
conquer. So he couched atrother
letter to the Alexandria paper
setting fi,rth his preference for the
1in'ate of Washington, and in
timating thai the police of that
place might be no more wary than
the guardians of Alexandria. In
the miatim' he teitoratad his
charge, and declared his intention
of taking the stump against Hunton.
Since that time these two combat
ants have been vahily tryiig to
"get at" each other. The unpleas
ant feature for Hunton is that the
people are taking up the quarl el
and the primary eledtions are re
culting disastrously to his hopes.
He will have to chew up Alexander
in short order, or Alex:der will
swallow him. Hunton has beeu a
prominent member of Congress,
and was a meihber of the Electoral
Commission. Alexander has long
been identified with the im-ovenient
against tire Shepperd rings. At
one time a conspiracy was concocted
by the district attorney to destroy
Alexander's reputation, by hiring
burglars to open the public' safe,
abstract pnpors and leave them- at
Alex mider's house, so that a
detective in the secret could pounce
upon them. The affair was
bltugled, and Alex.tnder not . on'ly
escaped, but caused the conviction
of tne guilty parties. He is a
tough old customer to handle; as
Hunton has discovered ere this.

A Defee of the Position Takenf by the
1Feasterville Ionmocratic Club, and a
Discussion of the Claims of Mr. H'. A.
Gaillard to a Seat irl the Legislature.
We, tihe Foasterville Democracy
are. not wanting in due resp)ect to
the "Legal Fraterunity" and' bog to'
assutre thoem, that we have the
highest regard for them as lawyers,
as gentlemen, and as good Demio
orats ; but at the same time claim,
that wec have the right to object to
their rept'esenting us in the Legis
lature of our State, and all this
without any disrespect. Will any
stane man ausdrt' for a mometit, thiit
the intorosta of the "Legal F~rater
nity" are identical with- that of the
masses-; that they are alwvays in,
conflict, almost everyont,'will~admit,
while a conutry is prosper-ous and
free from litigati ons the lawyers
"occupation,' like Othello's,<is gone,
but let there be dietfi~esa, finaneial'or
otherwise ? let 6tfaee' be rIi 6 anid
theh'tht.lawyqdi- reap a rich reward;
thierefore the'- conclusion is , d4itu1'Al
1that their interests" aud' oti*s al-e
no t the same. We' do' ntif blame,
t.e lawyers fo legslin i.n the.
dwii i>ntereet,'-we think thnt tlhiy
wou'dl be. devoid of cOmiion n.
i: they did iot, and in order to ke.'p
them from enacts-g lass in thlicir
intorest and to our detriment,
we propose to adopt the words of
that old time and tiite adages that
an "otxnce of preventioi is better
than a pound of cure" as our
motto; in ottr "crusade" agaidist the
hawyers as Legislators. In yot'ir!
campaign prospectus, you have
kindly stated your columtis would
be opmi to the legitimate disctision
of the claims of all caandidates; with
many thainks for the permission, we
propose to discuss the clains of
H. A. Gaillard, as he has bOei
notuinated for re-election to' repre=
sent Faii fi'elc county in the iYext
Legislati'e.
Claim first, Mr. G.tillard io a
gentleman of undoubted probity,
hoiresty and intelligence. Claim.1
sacohd, he is a member of a Demo
cratic Club and to his credit be it
said; that he has been an active
member and it is with regret; that
we caintot say the' same of a good
mnny of his brothers of tho legal
profession.
O'bjoctions to Mr. Gaillard repre
senting us again in the Legislature,
are several. First, we tako the
broad ground that he did not icpre
sent th6 Wislies ,T his constituents
in several of the votes that ho- cast;
it wad a11'-ost the universal wish of
the people of Fairfieldi that he
shnuld voto- for the re election of
Jtudgo Mackey, it being the only way
they had of expressing their grati,
tude to the judge (in a tangible
fori). Did be rccecde to their
wishes in this in-stance ? We think
not, at any rate we ask for the
record. Again, low does ho stan:
oi the tTstiuy Bill; It seemed at.
the time, that the -ery fian-ci.d life
of tht 6ountry demanded sn' a
law, niid the p'eopld of oldl F.tri jiad,
together with the whole Stte de
mande'd it, did Mr. Gillard res.
pond to the' wishs of his constitu
ent,, we think not, but he said (i
we hLtve iiot 'cen wrongly inforin.i)
that ho knew better what his con
stitneints needed thtai they did
thet4sp1l, A 1;du no.t-S:ie. we
thi k, and not very cnnmpliiment:try
to' the intelligeice 'f his Onstiti -
ecits; we again call for tho- recor'd,
Soi:i apologists fey .Mr. C illard's
vote'on' tlho Usury Bili, say that the
law is 11, goad' ha1C ?hi' have to
pay as much f:ir money now as ever,
that they pmy seven po'r cent. inter'
est and live per cent. C.mmiissions
n king twe:ve per1 C nt. thie s:i nx
t'hat they paiyed before the bill be
came'ia law of the lan]; a p>o arg'
monts Vi'ihy, th-it .because un pin -
ciled' men evaded' it, shitt C ae~ law
in itdelf is no good. Again how
does M'r'. G ailhard'stand on the con,
solidation Act, did lie not vote
against investig~ tion '1 we think,
and charge that he di,1, anid ag tin
call- for the recor'ds We'are also of
thd opiton t:iat Mr. G.illard voted
more frequer.tly with' the Charles
ton delegation, than with those of
the up country. Give us again the
record, We conf(dss Messrs. E.li
tor's that wa' havo' somiewhaE primni
tive ahd old fashionedc views about
the relations that should exist
betweeri a Representati-ve- of' the
people, and the i!pol' theniihelves
We look upon a representative as
an exponent of the wishes of- tihe
people, lie r'epriesents, a man-'p.
piointed by thoem to loQk'after' their
iditer~sts' a man paid by them to do
so, in fact he is only a servant
hired for a speOcific p)urpose5, just the
same as any clerik hired by a mer
chant to sell his stock in trade, or
just the same as an oversdor,-in
Ante Blellunj days, hired' to lok
aft.or the intciests of their em'
p.oyees, with this- d.ifP.rdhce, thei
clerk and over'seer or agent, were
hired and a specified salary agr'eed
upon, but the legislat'oi' or roeyro
sentative of the peole is allowed to
fix his' own salar'y, to say' how'-much
his services are wvoith to the dear
people he ieproeets. And'hbe is
always sur'e to value his' s'ervicen
sufliciently high. So much so that
it costs the tax p ye 's of-, the S.a e
one thousand (51.000) dollars
per day or thereabouts to have the
legislation of the couintry carried
on. Now Messrs. Editors w'u pro
pose to. change this thing if possible,!
we have too many la.ws, so' mnkny
old ones to be looked after, so many
new ones to. be enacted, (and in'
some instances'repealed,' and. then
re--enacted) that-it takes tob' iich
o.f the valuable time-*of our Legis
lators from their other duties, and
it has.been said by' soam of thern
that the pay-is n.othing, that' they
can make more at home.- To this,
we say.to the 'toter's of the State,
let all sutoh stay ai. homne. F$ve
