Cold FACTS.

1t is a fOregOne conclusion that the
election laws which have been, and
which may be, enacted by the South
ern States adopting new cOnstitu-
tons will sooner or later be tested i'll
the United States Supreme Court.
The blood of the Southern voter is
too warm, and he prizes his suffrage
rights too highly to submit quietly to
any discriminating suffrage privileges
especially is this applicable to the
doctrine of hereditary voting.
Some of the States have adopted
the grandfather clause" while in
others the privilege of voting seems
to hinge ON an educational qualifica-
ton. From a legal viewpoint we
believe the latter would stand the
test in the Supreme Court better than
any other that might be devised. The
problem is a knOtty one, we admit,
but it would be puerile in the Virginia
Convention containing as it does
many able lawyers-tO draw color
line which would not hold water il
tested in the courts.
In dealing with the subject it is
imperative upon the constitution
makers to recognize thefact that the
negro is citizen of these United
States, and that in the eyes of thelaw
he has, and under the provisions OF
the Constitution OF the United States
he must continue to have, all the legal
rights to which the white man is
entitled. Under existing conditions
itwould simply be IA waste of time on
the part of the Convention to deal
with questions affecting the two races
from any other standpoint.

There seems to be general Impression
that an entirely new regime in Virginia
politics he start / with the close OF the
Norfolk convention. 1t was plainly
shown that Orly those men who re
in sympathy with the tenets of the May
convention were in favor.
The campaign in Virginia this fall bids
fair to be short and lively one. Both
pa' ties will have speakers on the stump,
but very little campaigning will be done
before October /. There viii be speaking

THE defeat of State Senator LeCato
at Norfolk for the nomination for
Acknowledgement is a matter OF
deep regret to thousands OF true Vir-
ginians and faithful Democrats. The
decision of the convention in this is a
blow to Tidewater Virginia which will
linger long. The defeat OF State Sell
ator John l.. Jeffries for nomination
as Acknowledgement by a new man
and one who had hardly earned the
prize seems little short OF a great
injustice to merit and laudable labori-
Gus effort. Politics often dogrievous

that could have been placed in the
field. There is a healthy minority OF
Democrats in the State that takes "A
different view of it, but every asSur-
ance points To unanimity. now that
the ticket is nominated. The Rcpub-
leans pretend to believe that the
ticket is weak. that the fer personal
fights during the canvass have made
breaches that cannot be- healed. Some
weeks ago THE FREE LAME warned
the Republican parry that 1t was
banking in shifting sand when it
trusted TO any such diSaiiection. and
the manly endorsement and asSur-
ances which Mr.. Swanson in his speech
gave his lucky opponent or'y make
sure that We will be- correct in our
prOgnosticatiOns.
The platform Is good one. Ma

though we believe thar a great oppor-
tunitv was neglected when the COM
mittee failed To start the ball for a
revision of the tariff 1t promiSeS to
be the paramount issue in the next
national campaign. and 1t looks very
much as though the DemOcraticparty
was going TO placidlypermit its oppo-
nent to steal the thunder. Hon. II.
Il. Pollard made "a ringing allusiOn to
tariff refolm in "a speech before the
convention. but no other notice was
taken of the subject Possibly the
committee feared 10 touch upon MT
tional ISSUES lest some enthusiast
should ring in the 'ree silver chime.
So. perhaps. after AL it was better to
ignOre national affairs entirely
The mandate on primaries will sat
isfy the popular demand. and the
committee was w.se in rejecting the
suggestion OF its subcommittee that
thepr;mary system embrace nOmina-
tons for L. :. Senators Or'v. The
State Central Committee l. directed

lily the leading plank in the platform.
With its platform and nominees,
added to a fairly good record in past
State government. the great Demo
cratic party ~ Yire 1ia goes before
the people for Endorsement or reiec-

is hardly a shadow Of doubt that it
will be triumphantly elected, though
the Republicans positively asset that
