Primary election bills are accumu lating upon the tiles of tht two houses and of tlieir elections committees, and are fast assuming lirst place in the attention Of the members and of out siders as well. Some of the bills diller so little from others that they do MM seem to haye been greatly needed, and sme have so little relationship to t lie primary method of uomlnat ions that they IMP to have small claim to that classification. Hut among them all not less than ten general bills now in both houses, besides as many local bills they cover about every feature uf the subject that lias been discussed or pro puna 1 in this state, and out of them all will undoubtedly COBM en act that shall satisfy ali views as well as it Is possible for any actio do. and which we nin reasonably hope will approve itself upon trial. The Iouble Ivory bill, which most closeiy conforms to the platform prop ositions and is satisfactoiy to tne ad ministration, is now before the house and has been maiea special order for Wednesday afternoon of this week. It provides for a pasty enrollment to be made at t lie April election.
