RESULT OF THE PRIMARY.

The returns from the Democratic prim-
airy election held in this district 5ester-
lay indicate that the Hon. John Lamb is
again his partys choice. and that he is
almost as good as elected to the next
House Of Representatives.
The contest between him and his rival.
Mr.. Jefferson Wallace, was largely per-
sonal; the policies favored by them, ana
enunciated in their joint debates, did
not differ very greatly. Each did his
best to rally his friends to his support
and the canvass was an active one, partic
nlarly towards its closing. The result is
a vote very complimentary to Mr.. Wal
lace on his first appearance as a candidate
for office. On the other hand. the large
majority Captain Lamb receives assures
him that he has a warm place in the
hearts Of the people. and is an earnest
Of their satisfaction with his zeal and
ability as a representative in Congress.
1t will be the plea sure Of all good Dem
ocrats to support Captain Lamb. The or
hers from Washington to the Federal Of
ficeholders and other Republicans in Vir-
ginia ARE in substance: Root pig or die"
and, therefore, we presume that the gal
lant Captain will have Republican oppo-
sition; but no matter if he has. the result
will be the same either way
Yesterdays Congressional primary ends
the series in this State. Six of the Dem
ocratic aspirants for Congressional hon
ors were fortunate enough to have no op-
position. Mr.. Glass succeeds Major Otey,
deceased. Mr.. Southall defeated Mr.. Lass,
ter OF denomination, while Maynard and
Lamb are chosen to succeed themselves.
All of these four primaries were held
ander the viva voce system Of voting:
put whether that system is to be contin-
ned remains to be determined. The ac-
curacy with which votes are counted and
made known are things greatly in it's
favor; but there are some persons who
sill not go to the polls and vote openly
In contests between their friends; hence
the aggregate vote. under such circum-
stances, is likely to be smaller than it
would be otherwise. Some other objec-
lions are raised. but they need not be re-
discussed later on, when data not now
accessible will be within reach, ard when
the experience obtained in these four
primaries will be in form for analysis
and discussion.
So much for primaries generally. AS
to that which took place in this district
yesterday. we can say it leaves the party
in good condition. True. there were some
little jolts and Jars. but politics is Cor
are) politics" and ever will be- Yester-
day Captain Lamb was the candidate OF
particular friends and supporters: to-day
ne is the nominee of the Democratic par
ty OF the Third Congressional District of
Virginia, ana as such is entitled to the
cordial support and active aid of all loyal
brethren of our political faith.

A LINE OF INQUIRY.

The grand jury of the Hastings Court
has not yet concluded its labor of inyesti
eating the awarding of the pawn con-
tracts. It seems to us that the invests-
cation in the King case before the Police
Court ought to start them upon some in
teresting lines Of inquiry.
The public would Ike to know if King
was alone in his dealings with Messrs.
Gasser. Weinbrun and GUIDE. and If not
alone. how was it possible for him to
mold up" the contracts in question One

There is not a newspaper man in the
land whose heart will not go out in sym
pathy to poor Henry W. Grady, the young
Atlanta editor who was found in New
York Wednesday in a dazed condition,
after he had been missing for several
days. Mr.. Grady is associated with the
Atlanta Constitution, and is a son of the
famous Southern editor and orator, whose
name he bears. For some time he has
been sufferer from hay fever. and
recently he went north with his wife.
in the hope of regaining his health. On
their return trip, and while in Norfolk.
Mr.. Grady disappeared and prior to the
discovery of the unfortunate man in New
York, the anguish OF his family and
friends was great. No one seems to
know what caused the sad mental col
lapse of this promising editor. Probably
the strain of newspaper woodwork which
lous-had no little to do with producing
the sad results described.
Mr.. Grady has been a man of Dromi
nence in Atlanta politics. and is mem
Der of the Council of that city. AS his
habits have been exemplary and he is
possessed of ample means, it is hoped that
medical skill and rest may yet restore
his shattered health.
