send DIR. Newton, assistant professor
OF diseases of women and children in

whether or not there was a real case
OF small pox at the factory near Fair

expert in that disease, having had a
hundred and fifty cases of it in Reds

case, but to satisfy the minds of the
owners and employees of the factories.

The Richmond papers gave much space
10 the fact that the late State convention
was controlled by Senator Martin, from
which they appear to mean that n major
ity oil the delegates were supporters OF
the senator in his candidacy to succeed
himself. Well, what if they were? So
lar as We could observe there was nc
Martin or anti-Alartin issue in the selec
ton oi delegates to the convention. and 4
the ardent Martinites feel that the recent
State convention reelected their idol to
the Senate, they are entitled to all the
satisfaction which that feeling Affords

our seqnestered friend heard nothing
of the ante-conyention rumble, but
the Richmond papers did, for they
IN all likelihood started the ball
and it rolled all over them, it seems.
The idea was started by the anti
Martinites to give their boom send

Happily friends of the latter got on
to the game, and some weeks before
the convention the struggle was on.

THROUGH our Baltimore and Fred
erlcksburg aids we were enabled to
give last week a somewhat lengthy
account of the particulars of the
New York steamboat disaster. The
awful extent of the calamity merits
more extended notice, so we have
taken the accounts from New York
papers and, with considerable effort,
boiled them down, and on our first
page present them in readable con-
densed form for our patrons. Like
the Chicago theatre disaster, which
melted renewed vigilance upon the
part of directors of public houses,
this water disaster will cause inves-
tigation as to safety methods en-

Is 1T not a reflection on Virginia
manhood, if not Virginia politics,
that so many friends of the Governor

wrong in so thinking we surely are
right when we assume that the only
stock-in-trade such politicians are
possessed of for the Senatorial battle

NOT MADE TO STAND ON.

1t must be distressing to the Rich

is responsible for the State Demo.
cratic platform, which these Journals
styled as full of "glittering generali.
ties," without zone single definite OF
explicit utterance," "an aggregation
of mere platitudes that any school
boy could have assembled" and
which stamped the convention as
being without courage or convic.
tion." For our part, eliminating the
adoption Of primary plan, we were
heartily in accord with Mr.. Jones on
the only two other issues that be
brought to the front. We think the
platform very adroit and wise one.
We do not consider a platform ema-
mating from State Convention as
sembled to send delegates to national
convention as at all essential. 1t is
useless, if not meaningless. The
National Convention will adopt the
platform for the national campaign
and there is no need for the States
to each and every one deliver itself
of advice and pronunciamentos. The
Virginia resolution, or platform, is
sufficient, play on words and indi-
rect thrustS at corporate interests,
tariffs, ct cetera. Let it 90 at that
With the other theme that Mr..
Jones pursued vigilantly, the viva
voce system, weare also quite in SYM

honest elections or as a cementer of
party feelings, it becomes far more
Objectionable when operated under the
secret ballot. With the viva voce
feature properly carried out there
was some show for fair primar-
ies, and for a man who did
not control the machinery to sue
cessfully go up against the ma
chine candidate. With the secret
ballot fairness goes out of the window.
With candidate, a congressman for
example, who controls all or nearly
all Of his county committees tenure

chance would another stand against
him with the primary judges-psrti-
sans appointed by the committees
that are the incumbent's friends and
an many instances his willing tools
However, as we believe the whole pri-
mary affair scheme of certain "outs"
to get "in," no matter how, we have
no sympathy with it, and will give
1t. about five years. lease of life when
the people will see the true inward
ness of all this patriotism and wipe
at out Of Virginia. The man that
then says primary will be about as
dead or scarce as the rampant free
silver orator today. Some of the en-
thusiastics will early get In out of

that Norfolk convention there was
no recognition for any one who
favored any man except Montague.
The remembrance of this fact and
the resentment which it aroused, dis.
posed majority of the Democrats
ae Richmond to punish Montague
oy refusing to send him as delegate
at large to st. Louis. And this
would certainly have been done, had
1t not been for the magnanimous
spirit exhibited by Senator Martin.
Senator Martin is a big man and a
true Democrat. He begged his
friends not to humiliate his oppo-
nent by refusing to make him a
delegate at large and Senator Mar
TINS friends or rather most of them
listened to him and displayed spirit
Oh magninimity to Montague which
Montague's course heretofore was
not calculated to invite. Last We'd
nesday was proud day for Senator
Martin. From every part of the
State his friends gathered in Rich
mond to do him honor and place
sheir loyalty upon record. 1t was
splendid tribute to the man himself.

Senate under Republican admins

ana no promises to make. Public

M ontague has many offices at his
disposal and with them he has built
his machine. He can appeal to the
selfish interests of men. Neyertbe-
less before the general recognition of
worthiness his machine was
powerless. The Democrats of Vir-
slnia are going to re-elect Senator
Martin because he is faithful and
i6le. and because he is valuable to |
lis State.
