The Democratic States.

A Southwest Virginia Democrat
writes to US asking US to furnish certain
items of information which will bt
serviceable upon the stump. We in'
tend to comply 10 full with bis request
at an early day. We begin by givinl

1t is one thing to oppose political
wrong. 1t is quite another thing lc
reopen disputed question after ves-
ted rights have been acquired and the
courts have accepted a settlement
We of the South opposed the recon
struction acts and struggled manfully
and bitterly against the manner in
which the latest amendme nts were
declared 10 be parts of the Constilu.
ton. But the man would be set down
to-day as fool who would urge the
people to reopen their dead issues
and nullIfy the amendments, and yet
the wrong which was done IN 1868
and iu 1870 Is still a wrong.
And so of the Virginia question.
The fight against Mahonc's settlement
was made and it is now exhausted.
The State has acquiested in the new
settlement of the debt. The people
have become accustomed to it. They
made vain protest in the interest
of right and justice, but they found
that the northern bondholders fur.
nished money to Malone to defeat
their good intentions, and they now
say that so far as they are concerned
the struggle is over. They do not
propose that question which appeals
so clearly to the pockets Of each 70,
ter shall remain to imperil greater and
more enduring questions of national
policy.
We cannot admit that our Virginia
friends are wrong to abandon the
struggle over the State debt. IfPres-
ident Arthur, the Uuion League Club
at New York, Wall street, and the
Republican patty, those most directly
interested in the State bonds, are salts
fed with Malone s course on that
question, it is no lopgcr to be expec~
ted that the Virginia Democracy will
continue to struggle for au interest
which was deserted by those most
closely concerned.

THE New York Times, Tribune and
other Republican papers do not like the
platform of the Virginia Democrats.
Tits is one of the most favorable indi-
cations. The Democrats Of Virginia
did not try to get up platform that
would please tie Republicans. The
fact that It's good platform is the
reason they dislike it. They wanted
the Democrats to put up a platform
that ould not please the people. The
Democrats declined 10 do so, but put
up onelhat pleases those most interested
In the prosperity Of Virginia. If they
had opposed the debt settlement and
bad done as Mahoneite journals pre-
dicted tley would DO, it would have
pleased them. The Democrats say thai
the debt is settled. 1t is settled accord

Tie Republican party has become so

The platform suits :he people OF

votes. If Republicans don't Ike it,
let them get up better one.

In the Whole History Of
Medicine

No preparation has ever performed such
marvellous cures, or maintained so
wide a reputation, as AYERS CHERRY
PICTORIAL, which is recognized as the
worlds remedy for all diseases OF the
throat ana lungs. Its long-continued
series Of wonderful cures in all eli
mates has made it universally known
as a safe and reliable agent to employ.
Against ordinary colds, which are the
forerunners Of more serious disorders,
it acts speedily and surely, always re-
lieying suffering. and often saving life.
The protection it affords, by its timely
use in throat and chest disorders,
makes it an invaluable remedy to be
kept always on hand in every home.
No person can afford 10 be without it,
and those who have once used it never
will. From their knowledge OF its
composition and operation, physicians
use the CHERRY PICTORIAL extensively
in their practice, and clergymen recon-
mend it. 1t is absolutely certain in
its healing effects, and will always
cure where cures are possible.

"Tbe resolution accepting the press
