Court News and Other Matters.

The talk about the removal OF the
Richmond and Danviilo offices recently
returned to this city hack 10 Washington
has been revived, and there seems TO be
something in IT, This removal Will
probably begin on Saturday.
The object OF the bill introduced IN The
Senate at It's recent session requiring al!
railroads chartered by the State to have
their principal Offices in the State was TO
enforce the rc,urn OF these oilices
to Richmond The Chamber Of Com
merce at one of its meetings g. 'cuSsed
this subject at length, and the opinion
was expressed that II would be lnadylSa-
ble 10 attempt coercion in this matter, a.
IL might excite anta-Onism between lhc
State and the present owners ot Nlr-
ginias pet corporation, the Richmond
aud Danyille road. Ii was also stated
at the time that the management oi the
road would probably bring the Offices
back Of i,s own accord.
For these reasons Mr. Ellyson did not
press his bill. and it was allowed To
slumber in committee 1t seems now,
however, that a. soon a. the Legislature
adjourned steps were taken not only 10
keep the officers remaining Ia Washing
ton permanently in that city, but even to
take back those which had been LETT or
relocated here.
Our business men are naturally very
much incensed at this action, but there
seems TO benO present help for It.

THE PLAN OF THE PRIMARY.
The idea f. Right, But the Method is
Wrong Views of "rrue Blue Demo


orat."
Edit0r If tic Times.
To an "Old Democrat" who has never
voted any but the straight Democratic
ticket, however distasteiul some of the
nominees might be, there are grave OBJ
iecliOns 10 the primary plan adopted by
the City Committee, April 10, 1888.
In the third clause II is urOvided
that, "Fhe person or persons receiving "a
majority OF The legal votes cast shall be
declared the nominee or nominees II
this IS carried out, in case more than two,
OF, If three or more are candidates for the
nomination the successful candidates
must receive more than both, or all, Of
his opponents. This is neither Demo.
cratic nor right Democrats always per
nit the longest pole 10 knock The per
simmons" and the man who gets The
most votes should be the nominee.
= The fourth clause is Objectionable,
because while the voter may not prefer
any one of the candidates, he may hs a
good Democrat vote for The nominee
whoever he may be.
3. The concluding paragraph OF tie
fifth clause provides for printed pledge
on the ticker furnished the voter
This is entirely new in our primaries,
and does not commend itself to
to an honest and "Old Democrat" Every
man who votes at the primaryis in honor
bound 10 support the nominees, ard he
Will feel himself so bound il he Is honest,
and therefore TO the honest voter IL is an
insult TO presume otherwise, as the pri-
mary plan would indicate; To- the di-hOn-
est voter at the primary the pledge Is Ut
terry worthless az he Will not be bound
by it anyhow.
The 9Th clause provides That ali
registered white Democratic voters Of
the city of Richmond, who pledge them
selye, So" The wold Democratic should
| be stricken out as unnecessary and cal
culaied 10 mislead All Democratic
voters of this city are already ledged 10
their own conscience 10 each other and
to the well being of this city 10 support
the Democratic nominees, and az the
Democratic voters earnestly desire all
citizens 10 support the best interests OF
the city and Of the country. rs well in the
spring elections as well IS in the coming
fall elections, which include any white
citizen who may deserve to unite with
US in the accomplishment Of these OBJ
ects. And in addition, many who
have not recently or heretofore
acted with lis may now desire to unite
with us after their past experiences, and
at the same time may not be willing TO
undergo cross-eXaminaion by some
superseryiceable challenger in the in
tcrests of some particular aspirant for
office. And again, this requirement may
afford occasion for some disappointed
candidate TO contest the result, and all
contests, as is well known, are best 10 bc
avoided in fair election, if possible, a.
they are always calculated 30 produce
hearburning, lukewarmncss. and dis
content
These objections appear obvious TO the
mind Of TRUE Blue
