Primaries In Richmond.

The result of the Republican registration on
April 4th, 11th, and 18th is given below. Under
the party constitution only those persons who
are included In this registration win be entitled
20 vote at the primaries ne1t Monday, at which
delegates to the legislative district conventions
on Tuesday will be Observation-Disclosures Sun.
We need some such registration as this
to perfect our primary election plan.
None but Democrats ought to be per-
mitted to participate in Democratic pri-
maries. At present the widest and most
dangerous latitude is given. Any one who
voted at our primary on the 9Th can with
out mourning any responsibility therefor
vote for the Republican electors for Presi-
dent in November. And almost any one
who votes the Republican ticket in No
yember can present himself at our next
primary and vote in the choice of Demo
cratic nominees. The danger of being
CHALLENGED Is small. Practically we have
no safeguards against "foaters that is
TO say against mon who are Republicans in
some elections and Democrats in other
elections.
We ought to have party registration in
some form; the simpler the better. TO
entitle man to vote at Democratic pri-
mary he should be o declared Democrat
and listed as such.
If we postpone the consideration OF this
matter and Of others of similar import we
may find ourselves face to face with an
other primary before we are moved to act,
and then to act may be to injure the pros
poets. real or imaginary. of some aspirant
tor Office.
We would rejoice to see the City Demo
cratic Committee seize hold OF this sub
ject, In all Of its branches. without delay,
and not let 60 until il had formulated q
primary election law which will embody
tho best provisions which may be suggest
cd TO us by our own experience OF by the
examination of the plans which prevail in
other cities. Having framed such plan
Is we need, we may then 60 to the General
Assembly--and there is likely to be an
extra session this winter--and ask 1t to
mako II 9 law for Richmond.
We shoald have not only IN exact and
expeditions method of casting and count
ing and verifying our vote. but we should
make sure that when the great Democratic
family of this city meets to choose its
nominees it, counsels shall not be swayed
BY men Who ere not reliably Of our politi-

The Southampton Resolutions.

As was stated yesterday in our tele-
graphic columns, the Democrats of South
ampton county, Va, on Wednesday last.
in mass-meeting assembled, unanimously
adopted motion instructing the county
delegation to vote against any resolution
in the Richmond convention instructing
the Virginia delegation to the Chicago
convention to vote for any particular can
didate for President.
This action of southampton county. o
majority of whose delegates to the State
convention are said to be Hill men, fur
nishes good example to be followed by
the Democrats of other counties whether
they are for HILL or for CLEVELAND. Let
US send delegates to Chicago free to do
whatever shall seem to be best for the
Democratic party when the Democratic Ma
tional Convention shsll have learned all
that is to be learned upon the ground
as to what that convention ought to do.

what win the Convention po2


We have heretofore said number OF
t,mes that the approaching Democratic
National Convention would not nominate
monometallist for President and then
nut him upon free-coinsge platform, nor
nominate Q free-coinage candidate and
then put him upon Q monometallist plat
form. For that reason We have ever since
tho recent monometallist victory in the
national House OF Representatives spoken
OF tho silver question as one that had been
side-tracked.
II CLEVELAND should DO nominated 1t
would be folly to pretend to believe that he
would not veto free-coinaec bill. II. On
the other hand. PALMER should be nomi-
mated il would DO folly to pretend to be-
lieye that be would not sign free-coinsge
bill.
The Committee on Resolutions of the
Democratic State Convention of 1ndi-
ana, majority Of them being Cleveland
ties. recognized on Wednesday last the
condition Of things we have just spoken
of, and decided that 1t would not do to
nominate Mr. CLEVELAND upon q free
coinage platform. Senator VOORHEES, pre-
ferrod to lose CLEVELAND and save silver.
but majority Of the committee decided
to save CLEVELAND and lose silver. and so
prepared for adoption by the State con-
yention the following resolution:
"we believe that there shosld be kept In con-
slant circulation q full and suficient volume OF
money, consisting OF gold and silver and legal
tender paper currency at par with each other
The reader sees at once that the resolu-
ton has no point. 1t was phrased as II
stands in order to make it consist with Mr.
CLEyELiNp's views: but every intelligent
reader will see at once that it would just
as well consist with Mr.. HnL's views. or
Mr.. PArr1soN's, or as to that matter with
Mr.. HARaIsoN's.
Will the Democratic National Conven-
ton adopt that resolution in order, to de-
ceiye the voters?

Fun for Mugwumps-Death to Demo

The contest between the CLEVELAND
men and the Democrats who think tnaI
some other person than he ought to be
nominated for President will wax warmer
day by day unless IT is to be understood
that the delegates to the Chicago national
convention are to go thither untrammelled
by instructions. Surely we can find men
in the Democratic party in Virginia who
NAV be trusted with the duty of making O
nomination which will command the sup
port of the entire Democratic party
North, South, East. and West-CLEvELAsD
men, HILL men. PALMER men, WHITNEY
men, PArrIsoN men. GoRMAs men, and all
the other Democrats in the land.
The Democratic National Convention
will soon have done its work. months
hence we shall all be rejoicing over its
nominations and preparing to do battle
with the common enemy. If, however.
we desire to be then in thorough trim for
campaign work. we must not between now
and that time engage IN that sort OF crimi-
nation and recrimination which may be
characterized as death to the Democrats.
though fun for the Mugwumps. In our
vocabulary "Muewump" is Republi-
can who pretends to be Democratic Re-
former, but who never knows of any regu-
lar Democrat good enough for him to sup
port for any Office or place of trust or
emolumen. under the United States Gov
eminent, or, as to that matter, under any
State government.
Look OF Indiana The GRAY men and
the CLEVELAND men have agreed upon q
truce, but we fear that the square fight"
which has just taken place there between
GRAY's friends and CLEyELASD's friends
will leave good mary sore-heads in q
State which cannot be carried for the
Democratic party without the assistance
OF all the good Democrats within its bor-
ders. President HARRISON is not only a
citizen of that State and very popular
there, but he has at his command the i'm
mense patronage of the Federal Govern
ment and can put into the field large
contingent Of offce-holders. The feud be-
tween the GRAy men and the CLEVELAND
men must be entirely settled before the
national campaign on the part of the
as those which have so often heretofore re-
suited in victories for the Democratic
party in Indiana. The Mugwumps may
have fun over the state of things in In
diana. but to the Democrats that state of
things fopebodes nothing but defeat.
So it Is fun for the Muewumps to read
day after day in the newspapers that the
nominee of the Chicago convention is to
be selected by States which will, many Of
them at least. not cast one single electoral
vote for him in November next. With
what glee the Republicans receive these
announcements In 1888 the Republicans
carried Pennsylvania by seventy-odd thou
sand majority; Minnesota by thirty-odd
thousand, and Kansas by eighty thousand.
But enough. 1t is these States which are
instructing their delegates how TO vote. 1t
is the Democratic States that are expected
to elect the nominee thus by force Sc
lected.
