The Unit Rule.
(Norfolk Public Ledger.)

g
1t VIII be many years we imagine be-
fore those who attended the recent
Staunton convention will forget the eff
fort made by Senator Daniel to deprive
this Congressional district OF the rep
resentation in the Chicago Convention
to which 1t Is justly entitled. The
ground upon which he based his appeal
Tor the change was that at National Con-
Nenlions only States are called-that dis
trlctS are not newfoundland that such
being the case the States had the right
10 Hots' as unit as majority of The
dele gates might determine
New lets see how this rule would
work In State conventions A short
while after Senator Daniel had conclud-
ed his speech this secretary of the con-
Vent!on was directed to call a roll of the
Cities and counties OF the Commonwealth
-Lhe precincts were not mtntioned-to
ascertain the views OF all the delegates
present on the question. Comm: ncing
With Accomac and ending with York,
every county and city in the Common
wealth was called, and in every case
Where there was u division among the
delegates every vote and fraction of n
Vote'WaS counted on the side upon which
II was cast. BY this means IL was ascer-
tained that about two-thirds of the con
Fention endorsed Senator Daniels pro-
position and about one-third opposed
him' Carrying out the rule that he ad-
Vocatsd, the counties and cities would
nave cast all their votes as the majority
al eacn case might determine and the
spectacle would have been witne ssed of
soiiu votes being cast in every CITY and
county according to the Views OF the
ina1orlties III such cities and counties.

What it Means.
Norfolk Landmark.l

" A reader of The Landmark has ask
ed US to explain the meaning and effect
of the unit rule. which has been the
subject OF so much controversy In Vir-
ginia. We hasten to comply.
The unit rule Is not simply an instruc-
ton to the delegates to vote together
and in favor of a certain proposition or
candidate. This will be understood from
the fact that the Stanton Convention,
before adopting the unit rule, passed the
following:
We hereby instruct all of the delegates
4 from Virginia to the National Demo-
cratic Convention at Chicago to vote for
the platform declaring for the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver and gold at
the ratio of 16 to 1, and for candidates
for President and Vice-President, who
openly advocate that principle.
That is bad enough, but it does not
approach the unit rule as q mechanical
method of smothering the minority.
Owing to considerable opposition to the
unit rule among even staunch free-silver
men in the State, 1t was decided at a
caucus Of the latter to pass the in
struction which we have quoted, thus
placing the responsibility upon the In
diSidual delegates. OF course, this pre-
eipitated the very grave question wheth-
err or not o. delegate should follow the
expressed wishes of his own district or
the instruction OF the majority of the
convention, The delegates from the
Second district very properly declared
that, unless 1t were clear that the In
.etructions Of the convention were to be
aonstrued es sufficient to annul instruc-
lions from their own people, they would
assnredIy vote their personal sentiments
at Chicago.
+ gshis position was entirely correct. A
delegate bearing conflicting instructions
has the right to make his own choice be-
tween them. A man who is himself OPP
posed to the free coinage Of silver and
who has been specifically enjoined at Ahe
time of his election to vote against that
policy cannot be expected to reverse his
attitude merely because he is instructed
by representatives from other sections
10 cast his ballot for free coinage Real
ling the strength of this contention, the
silver majority at Staunton Immediate
~ passed the unit rAle, which requires
the Chairman Of the Virginia delega-
ton TO cast the entire vote Of that dele
cation at Chicago according to the opln-
Ion OF the majority In the State Conven-
ton. The effect OF the rule Is plain.
1t depriyes the delegate of all his indi-
viduAiity. His vote is cast by another
man. aud. in the case OF either delegate
from the Second district. in diametrSal
opposition TO the conviction and de-
uire Of f3a rIghtfui owner.
Now. w hope that we have made the

IS We shall soon be hearing about the
y ninlt rule again. THE question will
mo- doubt come up in connection with
the Congressional Nominating Con-
vention in this district. Shall the city

vention by single man. to all practical
purposes. This district Is forced to vote
against Its own wishes because, accord
