IN DEBATE THERE II LIGHT,

II is an interesting fact as developed
bv the publications which The Times
printed the other day from political
leaders I'm Virginia concerning the May
Conference that there are different views
as 10 what the Conference should do TO
attain the desired end. These men do
not talk like those who have secretly con-
spired TO defeat one candidate and TO
promote another. The simple fact that
there are differences Of opinion as to the
means 10 be employed is evidence that
these men will so into the Conference for
the sake Of measure and not in the
interest Of candidates.
We hope that there will be a discus
sion, a spirited discussion, a discussion in
which all sides of the question will be
aired. but that Il Will be a discussion with
one great purpose in view. namely, 10
hit upon the best plan 10y which the Dem
ocratic voters OF Virginia may have an
opportunity OF expressing al the polls
their choice Of Senatorial candidates. II
this Conference were called TO wrangle
about candidates It would have no inter
est for us. because at this time We ore
not considering candidates. But as rs
great purpose is 10 promote a cause which
is very dear TO the heart OF The Times.
We feel the keenest interest in its sue
cess. and We shall be disappointed in
deed. If there are not some practical ana
beneficial results in the line indicated.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Petersburg Index-Appeal asks this
question
eff the movement in behalf Of a change
IN the present mode OF selecting United
states Senators originated with the people
and IS an expression Of their wish on the
subject, as alleged by the self-consututed
promoters Of the movement, wherefore
the necessity for establishing hcadquar-
ters in it's interest and organizing a cam
paign of agitation and education TO force
action on the part OF the people?"
And we ask If this May Conference
is not of the people, but the private affair
of a few politicians and OF no significance
any how. why is it necessary 10 organize
against it and why has the opposition
taken such desperate measures 10 behttle
It. and why Is il trying so hard 70 prevent
the Democrats throughout the States
from attending 1t?
The Populist editor Of the Douglas (Ga.)
Leader after preaching a year or more
against organized wealth. against the
dishonesty Of trusts. and against the
corrupt government under which the
people were grooming, ran away from

tors behind. He Is now a soldier IN the
