MIR. PATTEsON,s PLATFORM.

In the outline Of the Virginia Demo-
cratic platform. as proposed by the HOE
Camm Patteson. and which was pub
lished in the Dispatch of Sunday there
is a plank in favor Of nominating United
States senators by the people, ito so
into effect at the next election"
This clause may have been slip Of the
pen. AT any rate. the plan put forth by
the Northern Neck News, which seems to
be the leader Of this movement, does rot
contemplate a primary this year. NOR
would one be now practicable If it were
at all necessary, which it is not our rea-
sons for this belief were given on Sunday.
The substance of them is that MAJOR
Daniel is as good as nominated already,
and 1t would be useless to have a pri-
mary in his case.
Again. 1t will take time TO frame a
suitable primary election plan. So far as
we know there are no insurmountaoie
obstacles in the way, but there are diff
cult questions that must be met and
solved. one Of these is as to paying the
expenses Of the primary. Another is as
TO prescribing the qualifications of voters.
The regulation upon this subject ought
TO be carefully drawn, and should apply
to every city and county alike. At the
recent elections for delegates TO the
Roanoke convention there has been lack
Of uniformity in the matter Of prescribing
qualifications for voting.
Upon the whole, while it would be well
for the Roanoke convention to express
itself upon the question Of senatorial pri-
marles, we trust no attempt to hold such
a primary will be made until a committee
has had time to draft a plan and lay 1t
before the party, and until it has been
deliberately discussed and adopted.
AS we have said before. we see no rea-
son at all why senatorial primaries should
not work well-provided that they are
held under a plan which closely con-
forms to the general elections law. And
K would be all the better If our plan
were legalzed by the General Assembly,
and If the penalties for misdoings at such
primary were the same as those pre-
scribed in the general elections law OF
the State
