While tho committee do not feel it best to
lay down any definite teBt as to who should
be allowed to ote at the primary elections to
elect delegates to tho various conventions.
as any test would not work equally well in all
localities, yet we would urge upon county
and precinct committeemen, and all having
the primaries in charge, to adopt such rules
and testB as will best secure a fair expression
of the independent voters of the state.
Tho qu cation of eeiectirs delegates to the
National convention to which lho to groa
sioiidl districts are entitled is left to the dis
tricts themselves, either to call congressional
conventions m their respective districts or to
select them by districts at Lincoln at the
state convention, at ihe Famo lime tho dele
pates are selected to represent tho state at
large.
We would recommend that no proxies be
allowed at either convention, but that the
delegates present cast the full vote to which
the state or county is entitled.
We would also recommend that the pri
maries for electing delegates to t he County
conventions be hbld Thursday, June 23,1892,
and that the County conventions be held
Saturday, June 25, 1892. J. V. Wolfe,

Another colored man gets it in the

the figurative vernacular of the daj
William D. Crura, a colored physician
of Charleston, S. C. was a delegate to
the Minneapolis convention, and was
promised tho post-office of Charleston.
His name was sent to the senate, but
before action was taken President Har
rison sent a message withdrawing the
name. And thus again is the colored
