The Danville Advocate, whose editor
was nm original Durham man, talks
sensibly in this wise: Judge Dur
ham is Democrat and those who
supported him are Democrats. Some
of us were badly disappointed in not
having him to bear our standard once
again to victory. but because we failed
tina. Is no reason why We should kick
out Of the party traces and 20 to the
aid of the most intense Republican in
the District"
The friends Of Judge Durham we're
remarkably active for that gentleman;
and both at and prior to the nomina-
ting Convention. they did all within
their power to secure him as the nom
inee of the party. Had they been
successful they would not only have
expected, but would by right have
demanded, that the friends Of MIR.
Thompson aud the other candidates
should support him. Blu, being de-
feated, is il not fair for MIR. Thomp-
sons friends to presume that Judge
Durham's supporters will be equally
magnanimous. and come up to his
help with the same unanimity which
they would have asked IL their can
didate had received the fractional vote
which would have made him the par
ty's choices Mr.. Thompson's adher-
ents have the right to demand. as
good Democrats, that they will cast
aside now all personal preferences and
warmly rally to his aid. 1t is one of
the principles of the time-honored
party that when Democrats go into
Convention they do so with the tacit
understanding that if their favorite is
beaten they will support the nominee.
They feel honorably bound so to do,
aud we cannot see how q true Demo
crat can secede from his implied prom
ise. There are a few Democrats in
the District who have manifested some
dissatisfaction with the result of the
Stanford Convention, and they have
made some unguarded speeches which
would have been better unsaid, but
we are fatisiied, after mature deliber-
alton, they will recall their words and
will be found at the polls on the first
Tuesday in November with Thomp-
son ballot in their hands. How they
could vote for Mr.. Denny passes our
comprehension. He was an original
Radical; has supported all the Radi-
Gals who ran in his county, district,
and State, every Radical Administra-
tion at Washington, including Grant,
Babcock, Belknap, Hayes, the Louis
lana fraud, the Florida fraud; was
with the party in 'G6 and 81, when
the bayonet policy was inaugurated in
Kentucky, and when Democrats were
required to take an infamous oath or
be driven from their voting places
with abuse and insults by soldiers who
disgraced the uniforms they wore
these and other things Mr.. Denny's
party inaugurated and upheld, and as
he still stays with them it is only nat
ural to presume that he approved
them. Richmond Register.
