PRIMARY VAIN MEETINGS.

This ia what, the Democracy of Nor
folk desire ut the hands of the Cit,
Democratic Executive Committee, and
the committee should be unanimous in
SO deciding. for the following reasons
IL for no other:

elect new City Democratic Executive
Committee and. therefore, the present
committee should see to IT, that not
the slightest suspicion should rest upon
It's action that would tend to form the
unfavorab,e impression that IL used its
influence to secure by manipulation the
reelection of its members.
I'd. The wards will be called upon to
elect delegates to the District Conven-
ton to nominate u candidate to rep
resent this district in the next Con-
gress. and. therefore. every effort
should be made to give full. fair and
unuuestioned expression OF the opinion
of the Democratic voters OF Norfolk
as to their representation in that con-
vention.
Ever since its selcc.ion-election is
the more proper word-the present City
Democratic Committee has so discharg-
ed its duty as to give thorough satis-
faction to the Democratic voters of
Norfolk and this has been demonstrate
ed by the action of the committee in
having primary elections and primary
ward meetings so that the Democratic
voter had the opportunity, ample and
fair to cast his vote and record the
same without danger as to the correct
ness of its count. Harmony, therefore,

The question of expense Is q minor
matter. The Democratic party of the
city of Norfolk cannot put up the beg
carly plea that it cannot raise the
small sum of 5000 or $500 to carry on the
ward primary. The Virginian is sure
that the proper number of volunteers
can be secured to act as judges and

SOMEWHAT PERPs.XED,

Almost Immediately after the ad-
tournment of the Chicago Convention,
the New York World made haste to
assaii the ticket nominated, as well as
everybody who had hand in the affair.
1t lifted its mailed hand and spared not,
and In less time, so to speak, than
1t takes to tell the tale. it became among
the most rabid OF the opponents of

they represent. 1t continued on this
line until its eyes began to open. and

observer of matters political, thus
speaks of the Worlds attitude: ut de-
nounces Mckinley for his recent
speeches threatening the reimposition

Democratic gold votes, and without
such aid. 1T Is now conceded says the
World that the Republican ticket can

of Mr. Pickler's general pension bill. The

George b. Mcclellan, made a vigorous
speech in opposition to the bill and in de-
fense of the administration of the pension
office He argued that the bill would put
on the rolls bounty jumpers, deserters
from the Confederate army and other un-
meritorious persons.
A resolution was presented in the house
by Representative Shuford, of North Car
