MANTEnS ND NEN.

Wall Street and Chicago represent Just now
two forces the financial and the political, which
are ant to regard themsclvc as omnipotcnt.
The politicans make the laws. The Wall Street
men make the prices. But there are somewhere
else the millions who make the things to eat
and to wear. the houses and the stores, the rail-
roads and the ships, and all that goes to support
a great government and a great commercial
centre. After all, which rules, the few or the
millions
Wall street has been struggling with bad
fit Of Indigestion. 1t had bought too many Sc
cuIities, and had msmanaged some properties,
and had given speculative wrccllcrs too liberal
opportunities to dcprccate the property of
other people. Then there was a panic in Wall
Street, and it extended to half a dozen banks
that have had too much to do with the specu-
latiyc operations. But was the business OF the
country paralvzcd meanwhile ? Did the farmers
and the wOrkmen in factories and mills and mines
stop operations? Not at all. Their work has
gone on thus far as uninterrupted and rs pros
porous as if no Wall Street firm had been Ill any
trouble. Moreover their productive industry
and legitimate tlade, which supply the real
wealth of the country, would go oil though wall
Street should be towcd out into mid-Occan and
sunk. In this case, apparently, the people do
rule. The millions prevail, and the business
of the bankers and brokers is to consult the true
welfare of the Nation. If their operations have in
any respect been contrary to thcpublic welfare,
it is time for them 20 change their operations.
Politicians are also in state of intense ex
element. They assemble, and dispute with each
other, and fancy thGt the Nation depends upon
their doings. But the Nation has different
impression. 1t considers these men delegates.
They are sent to Chicago to do the will of the
people, and, being shrewd men, they will prob
ably remember that their nominations will be
of little avail unless the voters approve them.
The politicians too, may well learn the same
lesson they are servants, not masters And
their duty also, is to seek the true welfare Of
the milions-nOt to grind any axes of their own.

TIE DUTY OF 4 REPUBLICAN. PAPER.

TIE DUTY OF 4 REPUBLICAN PAPER.
TIE Ne,c- York Times has given formal notice
to the Republican party that if the advice Of
Tile Times is not followed in the selection of a
candidate at Chicago The Times will not sup
port the party during the campaign. OF course
the notice is not worded with just this brutal
frankncss. If the Chicago nominee, says the
article to which we refer, shall be a man
"who, personally and politically, in Office or ont
represents principles ard practices which The
" Times abhOrs and has cOunscllcd its party to
sbun, we shall watch with great interest the
"cfforts of those responsible for such nOmi
"uation to elect their candidate, but we can give
them no help This is Disgusting the threat
in more or less decOrous language, but its
meaning is not to be mistaken. a refusal TO
spport an unworthy candidate is sometimes a
duty-not always, because we may be driven to
support bad candidate in preference to a
worse one, and as Mr. Eyarts once expressed
fine dilemma, we can't vote in the air. The
menace of The Times, however goes beyond
this case.
Tile Times has counselled its party to shun
thc principlc and practice of protection to
home industry does it mean to bolt unless the
frce-tradc minority is allowed to dictate the
Nomination. The Times has nursed at one
time or another, Il distrust of almost every dis
tinguishcd Republican now in active life; does
it require the Convention to adopt all its
grudgcs? The Times is VIGOROUSLY reckless i'll
suspicion and violent i'll attack; must the en-
tire Republican party accept the narrow meas
ure of men which is set up in an office on Park
Row. 1t is quite true that " The Times cannot
annul its own teachings" and it will therefore
find great difficulty in lending effective support
to almost anybody, because hardly anybody
has escaped its personal or political abhor-
renee but that is matter which affects The
Times more than it does the Chicago Conycn-
ton.
The duty of a true Republican paper seems TO
us clear None of the candidates are men
whom conscientious voters should hesitate to
support, nor do we think it at all likely that II

Editor. HnLleI Ylrni9liu

Editor Valley VSrginsan:
In your issue of February 2Sth, you
say that with a union of forces, and har-
mony of action, the electoral vote of Vir-
ginia could he as safely counted on for the
Republican nominees as that of any other
doubtful State in the Union.'' In this /
agree with YOU. But how is this ''union''
to be brought about?
We cannot try deserters by drumhead
court martial and shoot them on the spot !;
neither can we put stragglers in the guard
house; for political parties are not gov
erned by martial law. If man calling
himself a Republican prefers adulterous
intercourse with red-handed BOurbonism
to an honest support of his own party,
what and who is to prevent him
We may, indeed, pity him, but have no
right to shoot, or even censure him, for
this is called free country. We may not
censure him for the act, but may for the
false pretense in calling himself a Republi-
can, while consorting with BourbonS.
Under our system of government major
tiles should rule; this applies to political
parties as well. L
The difficulty of the situation-if diff
Guilty there Debates back to the Lynch
burg Convention of '81. That Convention
was held after an unprecedentedly heated
canvass and discussion before the people
of the single question ''shall the Republi-
can party coalesce with the Readjusters %
The people declared in the affirmative by
an overwhelming majority, electing 131
delegates in favor of Coalition to Sc against.
This was the numerical strength of each
faction, leaving out all contesting delega-
tions. The minority, refusing to obey the
peoples mandate, went off by itself into

inees promptly coming forward and de-
clining. This failure caused such stam-
pede in the hall that the managers were

delegates together to go through the mo-
tions Of selecting State Committee. The
Holcomb Hall Convention resulted in what
might we'll be called screaming farce, y

Editors VALLEY V1rginila1:


Conference.-The last issue of your
highly valued paper contains an editorial,
in regard to the political situation in this
State, which exhibits great dependency
on your part because the Republican State
Central Committee (DeZendorf's) had
called convention to meet in Richmond
on the Both OF April next, for the purpose
of appointing delegates to our National
Convention, &c.
The hope of being instrumental in af
fecting union of all Anti-BourbOn Vir-
ginians upon the Republican electoral
ticket and removing the dependency so
that your vigorous pen may be again
welded with its usual force for the bene-
mt OF the right in its struggle with the enc
mics OF free government and Oppressors of
our dearly beloved South, induces the I'M
dersigned to write this article for publ
cation IN your paper, so that the Sugges-
tlon therein made may reach our friends
throughout the State.
The writer has long favored two State
Conventions OF Anti-BOurbonS, viz: a
Convention of all Republicans who ac-
knowledge paramount allegiance to that
party for the purpose of thorough organi-
zation and selecting delegates to our Ma
tlonal Convention to cooperate with the
majority of the delegates from the North
ern and Western States in nominating
candidates acceptable to them, and Con-
yentiOn of all Anti-Bourbons acknowledge
ing paramount allegiance to the Readjus-
ter party, which would be doubtless con-
trolled by Gen1 Malone, and send dele
gates favorable to the machine wing of
our party.
A Republican STATED conyention is ne
cessity for the reasons already given and
should not be opposed by Gen1 Malone
and other ReadjuSter Democrats if they
contemplate joining our party in the ft-
tnre if they do not entertain such an
idea, how can any Republican favor break
ing up his party to please his Readjuster
Democratic friends. Suppose John Kelley,
boss of the Tammany Democracy of New
7 ork city, should with the approval Of his
followers, place himself upon Gen1 Ma
hone platform and announce his willing
ness to support our National ticket on
condition he was allowed to boss the Re-
publican party of his State, do you think
such an arrangement should be favored by
our political friends in that State? OF
course not How then can Virginia Re-
publicans go into mixed convention to be
controlled by Gen1 Malone? Let us then,
Messrs. Editors, urge our Republican and
ReadjuSter friends to stop their crimina-
nations and determinations and favor q
of each party as the only way
IN which harmony can be restored to our
ranks. Let each convention appoint Il
committee to form joint electoral ticket,
then success will crown our efforts and the
days of Bourbon Democracy will be num-
bered in our dear old State.
The Republicans OF this county are al
most solid for Republican convention.
Yours respectfully,
j. AUGUSTUS NICHE.
