Consumption and death. Unless attended to in
the beginning it is apt to bring on some COM

experience much suffering. Never allowa cough

and dozens Of defeated candidates are OF
the opinion to this day that the exclusion
Of these ballots was DISASTROUS to them.
The City Committee may have feared
that The adoption OF different rule would
allow some halfway Democrats to come IN
and vote for certain candidates for certain
Offices and 60 away fAncying that they
we're only bound to support the nominees
of the Offices for which they bad voted
In other words. that they would bold that
they had committed themselves only to
tho support OF part. not Of the whole
ticket.
Men who would take this view are litflc
to be trusted; but an understanding could
have been made with all persons that the
mere act of voting at the primary CON-
mittcd every such voter TO the support OF
the whole ticket. That done the deficient
ballots could have been excluded from
consideration so far as the Offices were
concerned where the deficiency occurred.
We should learn from experience. We
know that we need better system ut
counting. Let the committee provide for
IL. We know that hundreds of ballots
were rejected on April 9th for informality
and that our plan was at fault. Now. let
the committee correct 1t.
These two things. at least. we can do to
insure the success Of the next primary.

Our Party Primaries,

We feel confident that the City Demo-
cratic Committee win patiently investi-
gate and honestly and wisely determine
the question now before it, and, therefore.
We shall not offer it any advice upon that
particular subject. but we think the time
is opportune to press upon its attention
some defects In our primary-election plan.
The first of these is as to the counting
OF the votes. We cannot hope, ct present
et least, to alter the arrangement Of our
voting precincts, and must deal with them
as they are. The number Of voters voting
In the different precincts on Tuesday,
April 9Th, varied all the way from 30 to $50,
and II followed that the work done by the
officers of election was unequal. In the
small precincts to ascertain the resuks
was not very lsborious task; but In the
large ones it strained the minds and
muscles Of tho judges and clerks to the ut
most. And yet the city committee, in view
Of all the experience that IL has had.
might have easily provided for giving these
officers help. to the end that their work
should be done accurately and expedi-
tiously; TO the end that the public mind
should be speedily relieved Of uncertainty
and to the end that needless and ground
less suspicious should not be aroused and
sst sfost .
There IL plain remedy. Not to adopt
hfor future primaries would be almost
objectionable. Ballots OF different colors
should be cast for the ward and general
tickets, and in the large precincts, ct least.
double force Of officers should Be en-
pioyed TO do tho counting.
The next reform demanded 10 in the mat-
W OF requiring each voter to vote for the
fuli completeness Of candidates for the
omces for whIet nominations are to b.
made" no md11s no less." Theoretically.

Much of the session of the court was
taken up Tuesday and yesterday with hear

Gnnden aud others against the Virginia
Coal and Iron Company. The suit was
brought in the Circuit Court for the West

recover one third of tract OF $4,000 acres
OF land in Wise county, Va, valued at
about So. O00, 900. The decision in the lower

Yesterday the Democratic State Conven.
tion Of Pennsylvania declared In favor OF
GROVE CLEVELAND ss the nominee OF the
next Democratic National Convention
and on the 9Th Of November next Pennsyl-
yania will cast her electoral vote for BEN
yAxN Harrison. The immense vote OF
that State is Just as certain to be counted
for the Republican nominee as the vote Oh
any southern State Is to be counted 1or
the Democratic nominee. There 10 no
northern State which can be relied upon
without any donbt whatever to vote the
Democratic ticket next fall, but there are
many northern States which can with
what Is equivalent TO absolute certainty
be set down in the Republican column.
The northern States which are expected
10 support the Democratic nominee, and
without whose votes heS cannot be sue
cessfu!. are New York, New Jersey, and
Indiana, and in addition thereto Connect
cut. or else electoral votes enough from
Michigan TO make up Democratic ma
jority in the electoral colleges. In this
calculation the South is counted as solid
for the Democratic nominee. And in the
face OF these facts the Democrats OF Penn
eylyania are doing all that lies IN their
power to secure the nomination OF can
didate for President who was not only In
gloriously defeated four years ago, but tor
whom that State in 1888 cast not one cleo
toral vote.
1t is plain that there are Democrats who
do not look at this matter in the right
light. II there were even one Democratic
State which the Democrats could afford to
throw away the case would be different.
But there is no such State. Not one J
We cannot afford to lose single one of
the southern States. Not one! To do so
would be to lose the presidency. We must
have 1859 votes from the South, or to ex-
press it differently, the South must be
sohd. We must have the thirty-six votes
OF New York. The results of the Rhode
Island elections of last week show that we
need not expect an electoral vote from any
other New England State than Connecti-
cut. Massachusetts, will give HARRISON
majority running into the tens of thou
sands. Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, and Vermont will all vote for him
beyond doubt. The Northwest will fol-
low the lead OF New England. There is
but one rift in the black cloud of Republi-
canism that overshndows the Northwest.
This is in Michigan. In that State we may
reasonably hope. We suppose, to get two
or three electoral votes. Now, look at the
syospectiye results:
