the Democrats. The R,Tdid adds edito-
rally:
"Eyen these confessed they were forced
by the present condition OF Virginia's inte-
rests and by the sentiments OF their con-
stituents to favor, certainly, moderate pro-
lection. A large majority OF the Demo-
Gratis were outspoken in behalf OF pro,
tective tariff, and 1t Is their unexpressed
opinion that unless the Democratic nomi-
nee Is protcctionist the party VIII lose q
majority OF the six doubtful States recently
indicated in the Herald Washington dis-
patches as those which would decide tue
election next November"
That Is, we suppose New York. New
Jersey, Connecticut. Ohio, &c.
The Virginia reader must be DESTROYS OF
knowing how the Democratic members OF
the Virginia Legislature stand on this q'ieS-
tion. We viii, therefore, give in a con-
deuSed form what the Herald gives al
greater length.
Delegate Tom SMITH said that Mr.. HEw-
I7r's views as to the tariff accorded ex-
actly with his.
JAMES ". MARSHALL: "Tm in favor OF
the present rate of duties as against what
have seen Of the MORRISON BILL

MORRISON tariff bill; satisfied ii is in cor
Aict with Virginia's iron interests"
Senator NEwBERRY "The tariff, think
oucbt 10 lie reduced and reformed, but not
| as 10 iron."
Delegate EDWARD ECHOLs: "The tariff
ought to be revised, but should protect
Virginia minerals and industries"
Ex-senator BoGART: ~ rather favor the
CARLISLE tariff revision"

sion Of the present tariff, our home indus
tries and resources need encouraging pro-

tectiye tariff sufficient to run the govern

Delegate CAMPER: II am decidedly op
posed to agitating the tariff. The last set
Element OF 1t was understood TO be fiXeC
one"
These utterances may be called fairly
representative. We think that they voice
the opinions Of the Democrats OF Virginia
We are gratified TO find that so large pro
portion Of the Democrats OF the Genera
Assembly stand out boldly for tariff tina
will protect Virginia industries.
These utteranccS are made just in tim
to let the congressman from Virginia know
that Mr.. RANDALL is not bolter from th
Democratic party, as the Washington Pos
charges. but a Democrat leading Demo
Gratis.
