Ex-senator John +. Lewis, who was
ately elected on the ticket with Colonel Cameron
TO the Lieutenant. GOvernorhip OF Virginia fr
the second time, yesterday assured a REPUBLICAN,
representative ofthe absolute unity Of the Liberal
organization In Virginia. He said there Is not the
slightest prospect Of division over the senaOrship
or over the general distribution of rewards Of the
recent great victory.
I'VE have achieved" said the Senator, "the
most notable civic victory won In our State since
tho adoption OF the Federal Constitution. and we
are not such fools and criminals rs to throw away
the hardly-won peoples cause In n disgraceni
scramble over Office. whatever their dignity or
emoluments. We shall keep faith with the people
All of our leaders are In favor OF giving to them all
the pledged fruits Of victory to gain which they
suffered and sacrificed along with ourselves"
why Senator, you have been represented as
being willing to make a deal with the Bourbons In
order to secure your own election to the Senate"
said THB REPUBLICAN.
1T is absolutely false would not accept the
senatoShp as the result Of q dicker or bargain
with Bourbona Ihave fought them oil my life,
ana while like many OF them personally. can
have no sort Of political fracrnizaton with them.
ih nr can accept amy sort Of political favors from
treason to everything like principle than for any
KepuDlichn or Liberal TO enter intoany arrange.
ment with Bourbon Democrats that might ie,,p.
ardize the rights and interests OF the people of Vr-
ginia which have just been so gaiiantiy won. or
,i course tho Bourb9ns have no propositions for
deal with any portion oi the Liberal organization
unless based upon partial surrender of the fruits
OF our success"
" Then you d. not contemplate any division in
your party, arising IRON jcalouses md rivalrieS
between those who have been Republicans and
those who have been Demooratsr
NO such divisions arc possible, unless we are
prepared To- make shameless confession that we
were merely parties 10 q corrupt coalition for
spoils only have no fear OF injustice 70 Replb-
licans irnm, General Malone. Colonel Cameron,
and our leaders"
Your party will caucus. of course, on the Sen.

A Decision Demanded.

II is time for the people of the United
States, through their agents in Congress,
10 decide whether we shall formally with
draw from the list of naval powers, or
take our proper rank and station among
such powers. 1t is the earnest wish of
this journal, based on our conception of
what the public good demands, to see our
navy placed on a respectable footing as
to ships and guns and all other means
and appliances of maritime fighting.
We are not looking for war. We sec no
prospect Of any immediate trouble with
any power ON the globe. Our sincere
hope is that peace between the United
States and all other countries may be
long preseryed-iust as long as its con-
tinuance Is consistent with our national
honor.
But we know the old lesson of history,
that preparation for war is the best
guarantee Of peace. We know that, with
our enormous extent Of utterly defense
less coast, our great cities, as defenseless
as if guns and Notifications were un-
known, our claims and interests in Cen
tral America conflicting with the views of
other powers, we are Liable TO be terribly
punished by any government that owns
a few good war ships.
We say it is time for Congress to de-
eide this question, because we are now
expending about fifteen millions year
in an alleged navy when, rs a matter of
fact WE HAVE NO NAVY. There is no lack
of good officers. Indeed, we could spare
some hundreds without serious detri-
ment. In the line and in every corps of
the staff the personnel of the navy is all
that could be desired. But this amounts
to very little so long as we have neither
ships nor guns.
And if Congress vii, not take steps to
replace our rotten, antiquated, ridiculous
hulks with effective ships we certainly
think it high time to retire from the ma
val business. Let us have an actual navy,
or no navy at all. Let us cease to pay
fifteen millions u year in order to make
contemplate all round the
globe.
