Fayetteville, Ga, THE CONFUSION THE COMMITTEE MADE. “Heretofore the rule for nomi nating judges in tho democratic primary has been that the candi date receiving the highest num ber of votes was the winner, but the state executive committee, supposed to be ministerial in its duties, lias made a new law.”— Monroe Advertiser. We are glad the paper above quoted from notes tho same dan ger to which The Weekly last week referred. The mor# we think of it now, the more confusion do these rules seem to create or promise to cre ate for the campaign now on. Tiie rules provide that the Ex ecutive Committee of each county shall appoint as delegates to the State Convention men frem the friends of the successful candi dates for the various Statehonse others, and the Judges of the Su premo and the Superior courts and Court.of appeals. Does this mean that a full dele gation shall be appointed for each successful candidate? Hardly that, tor a hall largo enough to hold a convention so constituted could not be found. If it moans, and it cannot mean anything else.—that one delegation shall go fr_m each county, then the county executive committee must bo able to find men who are friends of each of the successful candidates to ap point as delegates. It will be a pretty situation to see the convention assemble with out any candidate for an office, — say for Governor—how? Then, if there is a convention at which no candidate for some particular offices, —say for Gov ernor and Judge of Superior court—have the necessary ma jor ity to nominate, what a confused situation will present itself, and what an unparalleled opportunity for trailing : 'here trading tho can didates for Governor to nominate a Judge, then tho Judge to nomi nate a Governor. The primary election is supposed to bo intended to give every vot er the opportunity to express his choice ; but little is the hope of his voice being heard or his vote's being of any value under such rules. We see no further need for the primary election now with these rules. Just Published Webster’s NEW INTERNATIONAL Dictionary, (G. & C.
