BUTLER, MISSOURL WEDNESDAY EVE. JUNE 7 1882 ———— Notice To Democrats. Noticé is hereby given that at the meeting of the Democratic Central Committee, held Saturday, June 3, it was ordered that meetings be held in each township on Saturday the 17th, to send delegates to a county convention to be held in Butler on the 24th, tor the purpose of elect- ing delegates to the State, Congress- ional and Senatorial conventions. Central Commutiee Meeting. Pursuant to the adjournment Sat- urday, the Demoratic Central Committee will meet next Saturday for the purpose of deciding upon the proposed change of the date for holding the primaries. A full at- tendence is particularly desired. ee SHOULD A UHANGE BE MADE. The question of changing the date of holding the primaries from the 16th of September to an earlier day, was discussed brietly before the Democratic Central Committee on Saturday. But there being only a small attendance of the committee, it was decided best to defer the mat- ter till a fuller representation could be had, and that to end the committee adjourned to meet next Saturday when the question will be consider- ed and determined. The reasons submitted in favor of a change, are that the day now fixed for the primaries is so close to the day of election that. sufficient time will not be given to organize and allay whatever disaffection may ar- rise from ‘the nominations. The State, Congressional and Senatorial szominatioris will be made before the rst of August, and the argument is, county nominations should be made either before or as soon after those conventions are held as it is possi- ble to do so, in order that thorough organization niay be effected at once and all forces placed in line of bat- tle. Evidently the interests of the party would be best subserved 1f the prima- ries were held as early as the rst of August, providing the éhange would meet with nearly the unanimous en- dorsment of the candidates; and it eccurs to us that none of the aspi- rants can reasonably object to that Proposition as it will give them about two months yet to work the field. The work of naming the 16th ot September as the day for the pri- maries, was scarcely done, before many even who had voted tor it re- alized that a mistake had been com mitted. Convinced that no candi- -dates chances will be effected in the feast by sucha change, it would seem then that party policy deman- ded that it be made. Concessions on the part ef candidates are always in order when party interests stand between. The question is a delicate one we agree, hut the committee po- sesses ample wisdom to handle it if they only have the time to deliber- ate, and then express their mind with caution. ———————_——— Conkling, Arthur & Co. hesitated before they consented to occupy Seats on the stand from which Bob. fngersol delivered his ‘address on Decoration day in New York, said to be the master effort of his life. They are afraid the public would Placethem in the same category with Ingersol and his heresies. However, not many months ago these very same men were not afraid te be caught in the infidel’s compaily. But the occasion then was to abuse and calumnate, and this time it was tor peace and brotherly good feeling. From a I Conkling—Arthur stand poiat the ‘Spprehension was justifiable. “| people and a clamor of a QUESTION OF BEIDGE BUILDING.

However, before taking any posi- ‘tive action in the matter, the court | called upon the Prosecuting Attor- ney to investigate the law and report just how far they could proceed in accordance therewith. The court is now m session and Prosecuting Attorney Silvers has submitted his report. After having investigated the point thoroughly the Prosecuting Attorney decides that the levy can not be made according to the law, and to be certain that his | conclusions were correct, he called |uponthe Attorney General for his | opinion, which sustained very posi- tively the position taken by Mr. Silvers. : The end thus reached will no doubt be a disappointment to many, but such isthe law and courts and people must succumb to its man- dates. | Speaking ot Southern politics the Savannah, Georgia, ews puts the following very pungent paragraph: If Republican supremacy is neces- sary for the weltare and goed order of the North, as Radical organs stoutly maintain, then even more so is Democratic ascendency requisite for the well-being and prosperity of the South. In the North the white race is dominant, and there is a choice of-parties. In the South the choice is between intelligence or ig- norance, and the Democracy consti- tutesthe intelligence which should and will direct the conduct of af- fairs. —_—— A steamer was floating down the Ohio river on Saturday last with 250 students on board. Approaching the railroad bridge at Newport the captain ordered fhe smoke-stack to be lowered, but before it could be done, a strong wind aided by the swift current drove the vessel down against one of the piers, doing con- siderable damage to the steamer, but with the exception ot scratches and bruises the entire excursion party escaped. The wonder is that the Bessel did not sink with all on board. The Savannah ews thinks the nomination of Hon. A. H. Stephens for Governor would harmonize and solidify the Democracy of Georgia and be a fitting tribute to the recog- nized ability and long publicservices of Mr. Stephens. The News 1s of the opinion that his nomination is a foregone conclusion, while but a few months or weeks ago it would have been a very unlikely thing if not a political impossibility. SS The Greenbackers in convention at Moberly resolved to invite, or rather bait, Republican support in the 14th plank of the platform adopt- ed, by denouncing the Missouri Legislature for the workof redistrict- ing. That gerrymandering business is getting mighty old. The Post-Dispatch thinks the Democrats will have to fight a com- bination of Greenbackers and Re- publicans in the coming state elec- tion. The P.D. is of the opinion that the Republicans will not nemi- mate a ticket but will support that nomigated at Moberly. Ee The Congressional committee of the Thirteenth District will meet in Pierce City on June 13th forthe pur- pose of fixing the time and place for holding the Congressional conven- tion.
