Parker and Democracy.

Despite the statement that the ardor
Of the Democratic leader toward Judge
Alton B. Parker, OF New York, has
somewhat cobled. It Is apparent from
recent development that he Is by far
the strongest candidate In the field The
only serious opposition to him can come,
Il at all. from Mr.. Cleveland. and unless
Mr.. Cleveland's statements and actions
are utterly at variance with his desires
and intentions. there Is not the slightest
reastfn to believe that he would under
any circumstances become n candidate
for the nomination. It Is, therefore, the
part OF wisdom for Mr.. Cleveland's fol-
Iowero to put away all vain hopes and
imaginings and view the situation as It
is. Judge Parker will develop great
strength as Dcn1otratic nominee IL only
he receive the undivided support Of the
Democratic party. The best and surest
way to that end us to send to the ST.
Louis convention from the several States
delegations so strong for Parker as to
make serious opposition futile and q bolt
ridiculous.
There can be mo- reasonable ground or
objection either to the candidacy or.to
the Democracy Of Judge Parker and, 4
nominated, his electiop~TxxNHl'tSa be merel.
( a matter of haHmonious action and eff
Gent Organization. To accomplish this
this OF supreme Importance that he be
nominated by an overwhelming ma.
torlty, and every delegate gained for
Judge Parker between this time and the
convention adds increasing power to the
forces now making for harmony and
solidarity within dur party ranks.
We earnestly commend this statement
of facts and of conditions to the Demo-
Gratis OF Virginia and especially to the
delegates to the forthcoming State con-
ventith. It has not been the custom
for the Democratic party OF Virginia to
instruct its delegates to the national
convention, and we doubt IL the party
this year will make a departure from thS
rule. But it is apparent that the Demo-
Gratis OF Virginia with the lights now
before them are overwhelmingly In favor
of Judge Parker''s nomination, and 1t
would be in the interest of harmony
and success for the convention, by ono
expression or another, toi give tho cam
didacy of Judge Parker It's hearty APP
prevail and endorsement. II tho conven-
ton should prefer not to depart from
established precedent it might send a
Parker delegation to the. convention with
out binding or handicappIng or ems
barrassing 1t by an iron bound instruc-
lion.
1t is the opineh OF some of the
threwdest and best Informed Democrats
OF New York that the unanimous and
enthusiastic nomination of Judge Parker
at st. Louis would be almost equivalent
10 an election.

Tho Norfolk and Southern Railway and
the Chesapeake Transit Company are

Norfolk and Southern Is prosperous

three-fourths Of the capital stock OF the
Norfolk and Southern and controls Its
board Of trustees. The plaintiff further
alleges that the purchase OF the stock

The Laws Of Society,

The sensational suicide OF Mayor Mo
Lane, Of Baltimore, has necessarily set
the tongue OF gossip to waggling. and there
have been all sorts OF surmises and ru-
r,ors. One of the reports printed In some
OF the New York newspapers was that
rnfriendly relations existed between Mrs.
McLane and her husbands family, and
that this was the cause which led tho
Mayor to destroy himself. A friend OF
the family Indignantly denies through
the New York Evening Post this story,
declaring that the relationship between
Mr.. McLane's relatives and his wife is,
and was for a. number Of years prior
to the marriage, cordial and affection
ate. SO close was this intimacy. says the
correspondent that when a few years
ago Mr., McLane's youngest sister made
her debut, Mrs. McLane dhen Mrs. Van
BibEer) was her constant .chaperone.
/ such reports are cruel and distressing,
but they are the natural outgrowth OF
the situation. First Of all, Mr.. McLane,

Referring to those troubles In Raleigh,
the Wilmington Messenger says:
The people Of North Carolina have al
ways been noted for being conservative
and cool headed. Let them show these
before they do any rash deed. The rights
OF the peopla and the liberty of the press
are not in danger. They must not allow
themselves to be carried away by false
sentiment where no principle OF constl-
tutional rights are concerned.
Tho Raleigh Post makes reference to
the same things thus:

Twill there be a fight over the general
primary plan In the state Convention
next week." Is the question one hears In
every political group nowadays, and whiln
some leaders express the belief that there
will not be, there are mutterngs on the
subject somewhere In the State almost
daily.
e:cveral county meetings have wranglcd
considerably over resolutions OF instruc-
tons on this point, but tho primary adj
vocates have usually prevailed. though
many delegates will come uninstructed as
to tile principle, and others arc instruct-
eel against It. y

was a lively Scrap which ended in VIC

other places where the Issue was made,

tracts from the Bristol Courier OF Thurs

"There Is strong sentiment In Bristol.

the state Convention meets in Richmond

sented by delegation that Is opposed to
making the primary plan general without
regard to local conditions.
1.-THE antl-primary people will be able
to produce good arguments along this
| line"
IN EITHER EVENT
AS a matter OF fact, the subject is
more freely discussed than any other
relating to the convention work. except
perhaps that OF the personnel of the new
State Committee, which bone Of conten-
ton is believed to involve the perpetuity
of the primary system. Tho complexion
Of the committee at present Is doubtful.
On several occasions fractional lines have
been drawn, and the majority has been
sometimes one way and sometimes the
! other.
