The Washington Star, in reviewing
the work of the Democratic Conven-
ton at Roanoke, has some pleasant
things to say of Major Tyler, the
nominee for Governor, and along
with them declares that his election
is assured. 1t says that there is no
installing where the Democrats of
the Old Dominion are. They re-an-
nounce their adherence to the Chi
cago platform in terms the most ex
plicit. They still favor revenue as
against a protective tax, still opposed
to trusts, still in favor of the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at 16 to
without waiting for the consent of
cooperation of any other nation.
This is at once business, consistency
and courage. Where it does not in
vite support it will command respect,
and the campain will not be burden
ed with either guggermugger or con-
tradictions. No speaker will be tray
cling about the State this fall eating
his words of last fall, or trying tc
evade inquiries as to the platform
upon which he now is standing"

Col William Lamb was depoSed as
chairman OF the republican party by
an almost unanimous vote, at a meet
Ing of the republican committee at
Lynchburg, Wednesday, and Mr.. Park
Aspew was elected as his successor.
His defeat is the outcome of fight
for the spoils between the different re-
publican factions in Virginia, and is,
ofcourse, a matter of Indifference TO
the democrats in the State. The
question that now presents itself. is
whether there will be republican
convention or not. The victors in
this fight are opposed to it. Col. Lamb,
on the other hand, says he will ignore
the action ofthe committee and will
call convention. In either event, it
matters not TO the democrats of the
State, as the republicans, if united,
instead of being hopelessly divided as
they now seem to be, will be defeated
in the fall election. 1t is likely, how
ever, they will get together, if Mr..
Hanna so orders, and the same old
enemy Will confront us this fall either
in the open or in ambush.

The following from the Stauntor
News seems in a great measure tc
voice the sentiment Of the people
throughout the State. One thing, at
least seems to be certain. that Vir.
ginia does not want Mr.. Martin to be
his own successor, and itlooks now as
if the stand taken by Mr.. Jones fol
the primary. and the forcible name,
in which it was advocated by him al
Roanoke, has placed him in the lead
of all other candidates:
The natural outcome of the defeat
of the primary plan in the Democrat.
it State Convention, will be the de-
feat of Mr.. Martin and the election OF
Hon. w. A. Jones, the leader of the
primary forces, to be Mr.. Martin
successor. Mr.. Daniel and the
friends of Mr. Martin made a pretty
kettle of fish by their ill-advised OPP.
sition to the primary plan, and tn ely
will learn the gravity of their blum
der as soon as the Democrats
throughout the State get the news OF
the defeat of the plan, and how and
by whom it was accomplished, and
in whose interest.

The proposition to nominateUnited
States Senators by primary led to a
discussion between Congressman
Jones for, and Senator Daniel against
same at the Roanoke Convention,
which has since been taken up and
continued by the people throughout
the State. Senator Daniel won in that
body by reason of his great influence,
but Mr.. Jones will have his turn later
and will eventually be the victor.
The people see no reason why they
should not have voice in the matter
and will be fora primary at no late
day, for one reason if for no other, be-
cause they believe they can get rid of
Mfr. Martin as Senator, through a
primary, easier than in any other way.
