solicited for one set of Hancock and Eng

arrangement must embrace concessions from

be impolitic 10 demand that either side

assurance OF 40 overwhelming Democratic
victory i'm November would be had In such
compromise a.. without violating any
principle, would at once commend itself TO

proposed compromise involves no surren-

Is concerned. by either party. That cues
ton is simply eliminated from the contest,
into which it should never have been per-
mitled TO enter, and its consideration is
postponed until next year. when State cleo

| We trust sincerely that having proceeded
thus far IN the direction Of harmony the
party leaders in Virginia will not permit con-

thorough consolidation OF the two wings

Should the party leaders come together In a
mutual spirit Of cancellation, as we believe
they will, they will obtain not only the in

OF the political outlook bereabouts it is
difficult to make a report. The ranks OF

II is due, however, to the truthfulness OF
