We most heartily endorse the action Of
this Convention. The nominees are all
we'll known throughout Virginia as true
sons OF the old Commonwealth who have
devoted their talents to her service and well
fare. Her destinies 10 these trying times
could be submitted to no better hands, and
the people OF Virginia will ratiiy the choice
OF tue Convention in November next 10y an
overwhelming majority for this ticket.
We commend the platform to the careful
perusal OF our readers. IL meets all the
issues OF the canvass squarely and fully, and
leaves nothing unsaid that demands atten'
ton. There is no Virginian who cannot
stand upon II, except those who wish to
drag the State down TO the depths OF iniamy
and disgrace. II has the clear ling OF hon
esty, Integrity, and high and laudable pur'
poses, such as should animate true met
every where. With this ticket and platform
victory Is assured Fredericksburg Star.

Gnnh Work nj Richmond.

The Virginia Democracy have made an
suspicious start. They enter the campaign
under a standard that shines in the sun
without flaw or speck. They have an
honest, Outspoken platform that reads well
by daylight-!hat every good citizen can
stand on with q sense OF security and
pride.
The Democratic party OF the Old Do.
minion is to be congratulated that the
Convention at Richmond was governed by
such wise counsels and took such high
vantage ground. 1t means that the contest
on their part is to be an aggressive one, and
aggressiveness in good cause is half the
battle.
The enemy Is thrown upon the defensive.
He is driven TO the wall at once. Excuse
and apology must be his tactics among in
tellgent men-fraud, strategy, and decep-
ton among the ignorant. A party that
hopes to succeed on a basis OF reputation
has hard lines before 1t in the face OF an un-
corrupted, honor-loving public sentiment.
The insolvent debtor can readily enough
explain an inability to meet his obligations.
When he says, a" | cannot ray" the reason
Is obvious. But when a debtor says, 81
can pay but cont" it is not so easy mat
ter TO Justify his conduct. II is so with the
RtadiusteIs OF Virginia. They plead no
inability-no insolvency; but they delibe-
rateIy "elimnate" such portion Of the
public debt as they do not choose to reeog-
nize. They viii have good time defend
ing this position.
The people OF Virginia are to be further
congratulated that the convention at Rich
mond not only adopted u debt.paying, non
repudiating, credit-sustaining platform, but
also nominated candidates so worthy to oc'
cupy it and so strong in the popular estima'
tion-John w. Daniel for Governor, james
Barbour for Lieutenant. Governor, and
Philip w. Mckinney for Attorney.General
With such ticket and such a platform
there can be associated no such word as fail
ure.- Washington Post.

We are very willing TO admit that there
are some inielicItous expressions IN The
platform which the Democratic Conserva-

not that RAN TUcKgR's resolution express
ing sympathy with the President OF the
United States Is open to the objection the

the sentence

The connection shows that "bis" refers
TO "T0M" and not to "JoHE," aud no
