Will Whip Mccoy.

San Francisco. March 24-Both Mccoy
and ChOynSki have ceased hard training

are hit as can be. and the contest promises
TO be the best seen here in years. Both
men are clever boxers, and they will fight
clean As to the chances of the men, an
outsider would naturally be guided by the
betting, which is still 10 to in favor of
Mccoy. yet despite this condition of af-

let THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

The interviews which appeared In yes
terdav's Times with the gentlemen Who
have announced their intention Of en-
teripr the primary for legislative cam
didates. represents them as Icing unani-
mously I'm favor OF a primary that VIII
instruct them as TO their vote for United
States senator.
Some of them announced their choice
in event of no instruction, but all of them
agree I'm the position taken by The
Times that the voice Of the people should
be heard i'm this matter. and there is no
doubt that they would enter the primary
with the understanding that they would
be guided by the vote Of the citizens as
90 the next senator.
The plan mentianed in The Times of
Yesterday. and which we understand Is
before the city Committee for discus
sion. is generally regarded as being en-
tirely a good one and affords an abb
solute opportunity for every voter TO eX-
press his choice for this high office.
The names Of Senator Martin end Gov
ernor Tyler to be printed at the head Of
each ballot and the voter by scratching
one thus instructs the five men he votes
for as 10 his preference. We do not be
lieve that the voters of Richmond viii
be satisfied with any plan that the City
Committee may adopt that does rot
grant them the absolute right to express
their preference and TO have the ma
iorlty opinion supported by the Rich
mond delegates
We have contended long for this right
of election Of senators by the people. and
we are fully convinced that the people Of
this city want that privilege now at the
hands of the City Democratic Committee.
There is not a voter who should be any
less capable of selecting a United States
senator. than a man to make laws for
this city and commonwealth, and the
time is ripe for the RELOCATING Of this
question TO the voter himself.
This is a principle for which we have
argued fully before and since he Roam
oke Convention, and the candidacy Of no
man has ever entered then or now into
the matter with us. We hold that the
voters should be clothed with the sove-
reign power TO name their choice for the
senatorship. and nothing short OF the
fun opportunity will answer.
1t is fitting that Richmond should set
the pace for the balance Of the State in
this great reform, and when the city
Committee meets on next Tuesday even
ing there will be universal disappoint-
ment If they fail to accord this right to
the people.
