The Virginia Platform.

The following is the full text of the plat
form adopted by the Democratic State con-
vention of Virginia:
WHEREAS The good people of the State
of Virginia, represented by the COnserva-
tive party, have been greatly concerned
and agitated by representations ana mis-
representations as to what would be the
probable action OF this convention upon
the subject of the State debt, and it has be-
come vitality important to the preservation
of the integrity and harmony of the party
that an authoritative expression OF OPINION
should be prom u gated upon that question ;
and, whereas. the future welfare, power
aud prosperity of this commonwealth de-
pend upon the continued existence and CO.
hesion of the Convseratiye party; now,
therefore, be it resolved by the Conserva-
rive party of Virginia, in convention as
sem bled-
First-While the Cons ervative party,
true TO the past glorious history of Fir-
ginia and proud of her good name and
fame among the nations of the earth, wOuld
scorn to repudiate her just obligations, and
are resolved to preserve invlOlate the pub
lie faith and credit, yet we cannot but view
with concern and anxiety the accumulation
of our financial difficulties and the increaS-
ing weight of our public debt. We, there
fore, earnestly urge upon the legislative
aud executive branches of the government
the importance of using all just and honor
able means of bringing about an adjust
ment of the obligations of the common
wealth which will bring the payment of in
terest upon our Indebtedness within the
resources of the State derived from the
present rate of taxation, and do equal jus
tice to all classes of our creditors
Second-ThaC every effort should be used
by the legislative department of the State to
reduce the expenditures of the government,
and return to the methods of trugality,
economy and III moderation practiced by our
fOrefathers and approved by former genera
tions of Virginians, even in the palmiest
days of our prosperity.
Third-That in the approaching election
of members of the legislature it is earnestly
recommend by the convention that the
people shall elect their representatives with
a view to their wisdom and integrity, and
their ability to deal with the difficulties
presented by the financial situation of the
commonwealth.
FOurth-That our past experience demon
states the great benefit resulting to the peO-
pie of Virginia from an active, thorough
and efficient conservative organization, rep
resenting and expressing the views of all
classes and conditions; that in order to con-
tinue to enjoy such benefits, all good citi-
zens should strive to strengthen and pre-
serve that organization, and by mutual
concessions to settle all differences OF
opinion justly and fairly inside of the par
ty.
Fifth-That we hereby ratify and reafhrm
the vital principles OF conservatism as en-
bodied in the platforms OF our party here
tofore promulgated, and hereby declare our
uncompromising opposition to radicalism
in any and all OF its forms and features

THE LEE MEMORIAL. BALL Al
THE WHITE SULPHER
SPRINGS.
Gen. stephen Id. Lees EIOquenI
Address, Thrilling Scene.

Lieutenant General Stephen D. Lee ad-
dressed the soldiers and civilians. His
speech was one of marked significance.
General Lee is one of the finest types of the
southeruer. Entering the Confederate
service as captain of artillery, he fought his
way step by step, and when compelled BY
fate to war no more, surrendered generals
command. In his address he spoke to and
for the South. more hopeful, sensible
and dispasionate utteFance has characterize
ed no southern leader. Surrounded as he
was by Hampton, johnson, Early, Kemper,
Matthews, and a goOdly array of judges,
senators, congressman and soldiers, there
was inspiration IN the atmosphere. Gener-
al Lee rose to the occasion. Taking no heed
of the cause of the war, he grappIed the
present condition, and from this argued
continued unity and national prosperity
He mplimented the military of the State,
and found in the recent riots a happy ap-
plication of this particular theme His al
fusion to the Confederate dead were of the
most eloquent and impressive character.
Holding up gray jacket, he said: Before
the war gray was gray; now it is Confeder-
ate gray" Combined with the sight of the
jacket, the epigrammatie sentiment produc-
ed a burst of enthusiasm that ragged for
| several moments. The soldiers saluted, the
ladies waved their handkerchiefs, and the
mute mountains of the Alleganies towering
above US became vocal with answering
echoes. No allusion was made to Hayes or
his policy, and from beginning to end
General Lee addressed himself to the topics
affecting the upbuilding OF the South.

ST Louis, in June, 1876.
Resolved. The reversal OF the verdict of
the American people, as expressed at the
baliot-box in November last flecting sam
uel J. Tiden President of the United States,
was the most moustrous political fraud re-
corded IN history. The Democracy submit
ted to it in the interests of peace; 1t must
not be repeated and we call upon Congress
To prepare and submit for ratification an
amendment to the Constitution which viii
render its repetition impossible aud cOnsigu
cons pirators attempting it to condign pun
iShment.
ResoEUed, That the restoration to the COM
mon ri gnts OF ciiz :nship ofthe people ofthree
Southern States, long kept subject to mill
tary occupation, is just acknowledgment
of the wisdom of Democratic principles;
that the Demos party acts upon prin-
ciple, makes no factious opposition, and OPP
poses only what is wrong in an Admins
traJion in possession of the Government.

His Views ON the Electoral Fraud,

From his Speech at Maysville, Ky, Aug. A.
The wrongs, the frauds, the usUrpations
of the Radical rulers have been so often
and so successfully exposed that large ma
jority of the States and people have con-
demned and repudiated them. and to-day
Democratic President would be presiding
over the republic, but for the most scandal
lous and 1nhlnshing fraud ever perpetrated
in modern history, which was only rendered
possible by the most shameful cowardice
and imbecility on the part of the Democrat
ic leaders. We have again verified the
adage that "an army of stays led by lion
IS Drawer than an army of lions led by a
stag" But our principles are not impairnH
nor our positions weakened
frauds of our opponent either by
III 1oA"e - or the cowardice OF
-. truth is mighty and public
justice certain - even those who profted
| by the wrong have been compelled to do
| homage to the justice of our demands, and
remove the iron heel of the Federal soldiers
| from the necks of the last OF the prostrate
States Of the South.
