that there are some "earnest ana sincere"
,r;ends ~ The negro, In another paragraph
q shows ND the utter hypocrisy Of that
class as follows:
"A family of blacks were recently re-
fused place at the common table In
fashion,bIe hotel. We asked very sim
cere man. who was earnest IN his con-
demnaiion OF the landlord for this brutal
conduct, n he would have sent his wife
and daughters 10 reception where this
family and others like them were expect
I'd and he answered candidly In the mega
tive. Would he like II, II bis family board
cd AT the hotel, to have these blacks sit
with them at the same table, and would
his daughters receive their friends in the
hotel parlor II one or more such black fam
lilies were present and engaged in receiv-
ing their friendsY After little reflection
he answered this In the negative. And vet
he was inclined TO force upon the regular
guests of the hotel In question an associa-
ton from which he shrank himself"
And this is type Of the average "negro
lover" whether he be from the North or
South. Take him either as "carpet-
bagccrv or one OF the "earnest and sin
cere" hypocritcs. he is stirrer-up OF
strife. lie and his belongings must be an
exception to the rule or the law that would
establish social equality. He is continually
forcing the negro against some one eise's
barriers but driving HIM away from his
own.
However. TO bring the matter straight
home and summarize its application 10
vital questions at issue in Virginia: To-
dav the Coalition leaders OF both classes
Dortrayed are doing exactly what the Jour
nal of Commerce so truthfully dellneates.
Not one Of them would have social equality
in his own family, yet, as whole, they are
championing political movement that, il
successful, will, il IS not improbable, re-
suit in it being demanded. From the
standpoint OF the negroes, negro school
trustees for white schools is only the en-
tering wedge to mixed schools, and from
mixed schools they see but short step to
social equality in its most comprehensive
sense. AS we have before intimated in
discussing this question, it is con-
trary to the dictates OF common sense
to suppose that the negroes, composing. as
they do, the majority OF the Coalition
party. will submit to dictation in this mat
ter. We do not fear social equality, but
we do fear the consequences Of the whirl-
wind its agitation may raise. We agree
with our New York contemporary that all
efforts in that direction "are worse than
VAIN; that "neither law nor logic will
triumph over" what it terms prejudice" {;
and that "ther use only intensifies the re-
slstance"; but we would warn the negro
of the vortex into which he is being hurried
as well as urge upon the white people the
grave duty of ayerting thenecessity for this
intensified resistance. For the benefit OF
both the negro and the white man we have
reproduced the above utterances OF an
ayowed and tested friend OF the negro
race. For each they contain lesson that
should be protited by on the 9th Of No

The Democratic Platform.

On the Goth OF September last we con-
densed the platform OF the virginia De-
mocracy into the following proposiuons'
1. No increase OF taxation.
Q No more contests over the State debt.
2. No more internal taxes after we get
the power to abolish them.
4. A tariff incidentally protective.
3. Continued support to the free schools
until every child in Virginia of both races
has an opportunity to be educated.
G. No mixed schools. Negro teachers
and negro trustees for negro schools.
White trustees and white teachers for
white schools.
7. Economy in all branches OF the Gov
eminent, both national and State, and as
few officials as possible.
8. Real civil-service reform.
o. Opposition to bossism.
On this platform every candidate can
take his stand. II needs no eulogy.
Throughout the State our version OF that
platform has been accepted as containing
the creed Of the Democrats OF Virginia.
Numerous papers have reproduced it and
endorsed 1t.
Do YOU stand upon that platform? If
not, why noty What is there in ii to
which any person, white or black, can rea-
sonabIy object? Why should not every
voter in Virginia, negro or Caucasian,
adopt it as bis creedY
Who favors increased taxation! No
body, white or colored.
Who ought to wish to have any more
contests over the State debt? Nobody,
white or colored.
Who ought TO favor tariff incidentally
protective? All voters, white and colored.
Who wish TO make the public schools
better and better until every child in the
Commonwealth shall have chance to get
an educations All voters, white and col
ored.
Who ought to favor white trustees and
teachers for white schools and negro trus-
tees and teachers for negro schools? All
voters, white and colored.
Who should advocate economy in eX-
penses and in oficialsY All voters, white
and colored.
Who should favor civIl-service reform
All voters, white and colored.
Who should antagonize bossism? All
voters, white and colored.
Come, then, let us close up the ranks Of
the army of the Democracy. Let all first
come into it who wish TO do so. Let us
prepare to deliver next Tuesday the fatal
blow.
II YOU defeat MALONE this year, he will
never trouble you again. His influence In
Washington Is owing to his supposed con-
troll of the anti-Democrats IN Virginia.
His influence in Virginia Is much Of it due
to his supposed ability to control the Fed
eral patronage in Virginia. Let us show
to President ARTHUR that MALONE does not
control Virginia. and then President AR
THUR will perhaps cease TO dispense Fede-
raj patronage through him. The Repub-
licans now have forty United States sena-
tors Including RIDDLEBERGEI and MA
uoNE), whilst the Democrats have
only thirty-six. MALONE and RIDDLE
BERGER will, therefore, not hold the
balance Of power in that body, except neg
atively. They can't vote with the Demo-
Gratis, and if they should do so would only
increase the Democratic vote so as to cause
ii 10 tie that Of the Republicans.
See to it, then, that you make this the
decisive battle. Let us put an end to Ma
honeism in Virginia, snow, henccforth,
and forever"

COALITION TRICKS-CIRCULAES AND CHECKS
TO BE REDEEMED AFTER THE ELECTION.
Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.I
PETERSBURG. November /, 1888.
The Coalitionists are circulating some
peculiar documents and are resorting to
some strange devices in these latter days
of the campaign. Here IN Petersburg
they are circulating Photographic views OF
the new normal school. On the back Of
the cards the following preyarication is
printed in bold type:
"If the Bourbon Democratic candidates
or their allies, the StraightOut Republicans,
should be elected and control the icg1sla-
ture, ii is likely that no appropriation will
be made for this institution, nor will the
public schools be properly maintained"
4 great many Of the negroes, however,
are too smart to be caught by any such bait
rs this.
In Surry county the local managers are
distributing checks for twenty-five cents
among the negroes. The checks are re-
deemable on the day OF election. A gen.
tleman in this city has come into possession
OF one, and the Democrats will look after
IL on election day. ROBIN ADAIR.
