ALEXANDRIA, VA.
SATURDAY EVENING. JULY IL.
FOR PRESIDENT,
GroverCle Gland, ofNewYork
h@ FOR VICE PRESIDENT,
Thos. Hendricks, ofIndlana.

In A recent fourth Of July celebration,
the orator, politician of some note, alter
we'll merited laudation of the statesman
shin of Calhoun and others of his school OF
politics, said Of Clay: "That he was not
statesman is best attested by the fact that
he was the author of the famous Missouri
COMPROMISE" This evidence of the great
stateman not being q statesman is about
as strong as any we have ever heard urged
to establish that proposition, and about as
true. In relation to the Missouri compro-
mise Mr.. Clay, in his great speech delivered
in the United States Senate, February 9th
and 9th, 1850, in support OF his compromise
resolutions, said "While engaged in anx-
ious consideration of this subject, the idea OF
the Missouri compromise, as it has been
termed, came under my review, was con-
sidered by me and rejected as in my judy
ment less worthy of the common accept
ance of both parties of this Union than the
project which I now offer to your considera'
ton. Before entering into u particular
explanation, however, of the Missouri COM
promise, allow me to correct great error in
respect to my agency in connection with that
measure. / have been credited with being
the author ofthe line of Sc deg. 30 min. which
was established upon the occasion of the
admission of Missouri into the Union. So
far from its being true that presented this
line upon the occasion of considering
whether Missouri ought to be admitted into
the Union or not, it did not so much as
originate in the House Of which | was a
member. was then the Speaker of the
House and while the measure was
under consideration in the Senate, MIR.
Thomas, of Illinois, intt oduced the clause OF
the bill proposing to restrict the admission
of slavery north of that line and leaving
the question open south of it, either to ad-
NIT or not to admit slavery and so the bill
finally passed and for moment quoted the
country. Among those who agreed to that
line were majority of Southern members /;
in the Senate Mr.. King, Of Alabama
and Mr.. Pinkney, Of Maryland being
of the number; and majority of
of the Southern members of the House also
voted for that line. Mr.. Lowndes finally
voted for it. am not able with certainty
to say how voted as the journal does not
show how the Speaker votes, except in case
of tie, but l have no earthly doubt but
that I voted, in common with other South
ern friends, in the same way" The states,
manship of Clay requires no defender, but
we quote what he said upon this occasion
simply to indicate the truth of history.

THos. A. HENDRICKS Happy thought,
splendid combination. New York and In
diana once again. The association of the
OK. Governor of Indiana and once elected
Vice President with the present Governor
of New York upon the Presidential ticket
of the democracy will serve to revive the
memory of the great fraud by which an
elected President and Vice President were
deliberately counted out. Shame upon the
country that the outrage was submitted 10
them but despite the threats of the revolu-
tionists it will never be attempted, or at
least successfully accomplished, again. Ger
tainly not with Cleveland and Hendricks to
protect the rights and liberties of the people.

1T WILL not do to fold our arms and await
the result in November, assured that the
enemy has not recovered from the Water
loo of the last canvass. Let it be remem-
bered the great body of white republicans
were then hostile to Malone, and either
voted against his ticket or declined to vote
at all. Now, while they do not hate Ma
hone less, they have the ticket ''of their
choice,n the men of all others they prefer
red, Blaine and Logan. Malone, however
much he may, and doubtless does, chafe at
the idea of supporting man who has held
him in such contempt, yet finds the bridges
in his rear over which he passed when de-
sorting his former friends destroyed, so that
he is forced to 60 forward and profess a
zeal he cannot feel and "eat his crow" with
apparent relish. 1t is not that he hates
Blaine less but the democrats more that he
will exert his every energy to win success
for the republican ticket this fall; but be
the motive what it may it will be we'll TO
recognize it as q fact that all the elements
of opposition to the democratic party in this
State have united in Blaiue's support, SO
that while his nomination in the country at
large is very weak one, yet in this State,
for the reason given, it is probably as strong
q one as could have been made by his party.
With organization and proper effort we
have no fear as to the result. But as we sue
ceeded with majority of only 1900 when
our enemies we're not united, we cannot
afford to supinely trust alone to the paraly-
zing effect upon our opponents of our ma
iority last November to win US the victory
this fall.

THE BALTIMORE SIN in commenting edi-
torialy upon the nomination Of Gov. Cleve-
land says:
'Pledged by his record, first as mayor of
Buffalo and afterwards as Governor of the
great State of New York, to the cause OF
honest government, in opposition to the de-
vious methods and corrupt schemes Of the
class of politicians who have done so much
to discrcdit American institutions, Grover
Cleveland is regarded by reformers of both
parties not only as the most available man
the democrats could nominate, but also as
the kind of man most needed at Washing
ton, and as the candidate of the democratic
party he stands as representative of the
youth, the progress, The hope, the very life
of the only country upon the earth In which
liberty and equality find their truest inter
probation and their most complete realiza-
ton. Administrative reform is the crying
need of the present time.

THE RESULT of the action of the Chicago

THE RESULT of the action of the Chicago
both as regards the nomination
and the platform adopted, gives general
satisfaction among the democrats in this
State. The ticket will poll the full party
vote. Mr.. Bayard undoubtedly held the
strongest place in the affections of Virginia
democrats but Mr.. Cleveland is acknowl-
edged TO be the stronger and more availa-
BILE candidate. With Cleveland and Hen
bricks and the platform adopted by the
convention no doubt is felt of the success of
the ticket. The Mahoneites profess to be-
lieve that Cleveland is the easiest man to
beat that the democrats could have nomi-
mated, but it is we'll known that they earn
estly hoped for the nomination of some 9TH
er man. Prominent democrats who have
been strong protectionists heretofore, ex-
press their satisfaction with the platform.
