Tho Second District Primary.

Norfolk Ledger: On the whole, the new
system of making congressional nominal
tons has worked satisfactorily. and While
there is objection to it in some quarters.
we think that its continuance will be de-
nianded by the voters, and that such
i,rperfections as have been shown to ex-
list will be remedied.
Newport News Press: Everybody is
glad that the primary is over. There are
many who hope that they will never see
another like it in Newport News. There
was nothing in it to inspire pride. we
have gotten used to shady deals and
to questionable methods in local poll
tics. but there was a novelty ABOUT the
business Tuesday that was interesting,
if not refreshing.
We have tested the primary plan. The
viva voce scheme of voting mas few
friends in Newport News. One trial was
enough. The result of the primary is. Of
course, accepted here, but had the result
been close there would undoubtedly have
been a contest in this city, initiated most
likely by the Bryant men.
OF the many unfair primaries and con-
vcntions held in Newport News, Tuesday
seance probably takes the prize, and that
is saying a great deal. Every precaution
appears to have been taken to insure I'M
fairness, if not fraud. Judges were APP
PORTED in the dead hour of night by
partisan committeeman.
Money was spent like water in Newport
News. and the fight was conducted like
ar-to-the-knife encounter between
bitter enemies. rather than like a contest
between friends
Norfolk Virginian-Pilot: SO far as we
have been able to learn. the viva voce
system worked very satisfactorily on the
whole in the district. Certainly the re-
turns We're received more quickly than
ever before. and their accuracy, we pre-
sumo, is not open TO question.
This much being said for the viva voce
system, however. we are still Of the opin-
ion that it is no longer adapted to the sit
uaiion as it exists to-day. In the con-
gressional primary there was no chance
that any voter would be subjected to the
compulson that would have to be reck-
oned with in a Presidential election. 1t
follows that while the viva voce system
was satisfactory in this case, the conclu-
sioE cannot be drawn that it would prove
satisfactory in a campaign like that of
1876. when thousands of employees were
ordered to vote the Republican ticket en-
pain of discharge. And even In primary
it is easily conceivable that circumstances
might exist that would make the viva
voce method undesirable.

'.The people are to blame for the weak
ness and deterioration which the past

Whole. But to mention or discuss this
fact is little else than treason in the

brought to the front, and in the opinion

We 90 not mean TO forestall the legal

opportunity is offered to uphold the ma
jestN of the law, and check Judge Lynch
That is the verdict of the Virginia

lynching and always stand up for law
and order

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The Portsmouth Star says the expected
happened in the nomination of Mr.. May
adds:
'From the very beginning Of the can
vass it has been apparent that the
great body OF voters in the district were
very well satisfied with the work of Mr..
Maynard during his first term. The re-
suit of the primary indicates that they
have concluded that one good term de-
serves another
incidentally the Newport News Press
appeals to the Democratic leaders to
legislate morality into the voters of its
town. It says:
Eve haven't any idea that a plan will
ever be submitted that will enable the
people of this city to hold a primary
that is entirely free from the suspicion
of unfairness and fraud. The Demo
cratic leaders in the State will have 10
devise some method for the reformation
of men as well as methods before we
can hope for a change for the better.
But, in any event, we do not want any
more viva gFOCe primaries.
The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot says:
1.-The tragedy ON a train of the Sea-
board Air Line, in which rowdy negroes
killed one man and fatally wounded
another because they objected to the
Jim Crow car. will no doubt be made
the basis of extended homilies in the
columns OF Northern contemporaries on
the oppression inflicted upon the negroes
by Southern whites. But the fact re-
mains that the incident tends to justify
the law. RoWdy, drunken negroes are
by no means a rarity on railway trans
and it is we'll that they should be COM
PEELED to remain apart from white pas
sengers.'
The Danvlle Register was a long time
reaching the wise conclusion in the fol-
lowing, taken from its editorial column:
but for Democratic laundering, the
Populist party would have been dead
before now. It lives on the hope that
there will be more laundering, more
