terest in the result Of the election and
trust that the deliberations Of the irus-

choice fan upon The right man.
There was wide difference of opinion
as to whom the trustees would elect to
succeed Dr. Boggs There were even some
who We're of the opinion that he would be
chosen 20 succeed himself. bat with those

the CHARACTERISTIC and seriously handicaps

the university.
There are many OF the trustees who
favor the election of DIR. II. G White, at

the board of trustees. at variance among
themselves over the conflicting claims of
the various aspirauts from the state, may
settle upon Mr.. Wilson as a dark horse
and that he may be elected under some

The Times took no part in the contest

dates before the Democratic primary for
the honor Of representing Richmond I'm
the next state legislature. and we would
not now appear TO make invidious dis
tinctions But as a public journal we
would emphasize the fact that the nomi-
nation of Mr.. $. s. =. Patteson was a
great triumph OF the people over ma
chine methods. 10 was currently re-
ported az one time that Mr.. Patteson
was i'm favor Of the reelection Of Mr..
Martin TO the United states Senate. and
we do not know that he has changed his
mind but Mr. Patteson declined TO COM
NIT himself 20 any man. When APP
preached ON the subject he said private

choice of Richmond as 10 senatorial cam
didatcs. the Democrats Of the city having
been denied the right of expressing their
choice at the polls and would cast his
vote I'm the Legislature accordingly.
Having declined to commit himself TO
the machine. the machine made a deter
mined effort TO defeat him at the polls.

us efforts were unayailing The people
honored Mr.. Patteson for the brave
stand that he had taken, they resented
the methods which che machine employed
20 defeat him and they came up man
fully TO his support. lie was nominated

We say that Mr. Patteson's election
was a triumph of the people over the
machine. and the Democrats of Richmond
are TO be congratulated for the splendid
victory which the people have won.
