bery is on the increase and it takes many

looseness in the mnnagomont of tho vot
ing, in some places tho party rules being
grossly disregarded. These aro not nec
essary features of tho primary system;
they are oxorosoncos on it and oan bo cut
off. We present to-day a very thought
ful letter from Mr. Hunter A. GibbOB, of
the Columbia bar, suggesting rem?diai
measures. In general wo approvo them.
Thc primary election has supplanted tho
general election in both interest and Im
portance, livery safeguard which can
be devised for Ibo goneral elections of
other States ought to bo applied to OUT
primaries ; wo aro entitled to tho best
and purest of elections.
"Wo would go farther than Mr. GIbboB
suggests and require a bionnial registra
tion for the primaries. Registration is
necessary to secure full honesty in taking
the sense of the party. At ono precinct
in this city over a hundred Democrats
were denied tho right to vote hecausn
the club officorS bad failed to pul their
names on tho poll list when they were
handed in ; while at a precinct in another
county the election was conducted with
