With a Comment or Two.

In communication published in an
other column the Democratic State Com
mlttee Is taken to task for .pronouncing
that Virginia will instruct Tor Parker
The News has not noticed any such dec
laration by the Democratic State COM
mittec. Members of that committee, re-
spending to formal request for their
views, wrote to Richmond newspaper
that the sentiment of Democrats in their
respective localities seemed to be largely
for the nomination of Judge Parker; hut
not one of them. as we recall, favored
!nstructng the Virginia delegation to st.
Louis for any candidate. AS a matter
OF fuct, 1t has never been customary to
instruct Virginia delegates to National
Conventions, and there is little proba-
sbity that the rule will be departed from
this ,ear.-Lynchburg News.
But If an attempt be made to manipu-
late tho Virginia vote in the interest OF
somo candidate, who Is not acceptable,
the convention Of 1904 may make a de-
parture.
The Richmond Democratic Committee
virtually decided against permitting the
pcople to instruct Let that fact be
noted elsewhere as warning signal and
let the example 1t affords be avoided
Roanoke Times.
But don't forget that the Democrats of
Richmond are overwhelmingly In favor
of the primary.
Things are looking we'll now for the
National Democracy but there Is one
danger ahead. 1t begins to look like the
New York Sun may support the Demo
cratic nominees. That would be the worst
thing that could happen to Democracy
