AS an nrrnignment Of the Democratic
party, a scNthng, blistering, whitening ar
raignment though calm and courteous,
Mr.. Shermans speech has not been equaled
by any writer or speaker since the new "era
Of reform" came on. 1t will excite tenn
pest Of Democratic wrath all over the
country, not because of any unfair bit, but
because 1t is solid array of damaging
truths.
II strips the party Of its false pretenses,
brushes away It's hypocritical professions,
shows what an utter and contemplate fail
ure It has been and is, and stands II up be-
fore the country a naked, shivering sham
and fraud.
The "reform policy" aud the ilnan-
cial performances Of the administration
give Mr. Sherman q field for offensive opera
tions into which he enters and literally an-
initiates every claim that the friends of
Democratic rule have set up. II the two
parties are to be judged by the facts Of
history, by what they have done in the past
or are committed TO for the future, where is
the state that can afford to cling TO the
party that should have died when its
creed fell with the ruins of the confederacy ?
The REPUBLICAN, appeals to the solid
men Of Virginia to read this argument Of
Mr.. Sherman, TO read II without prejudice,
to Judge It fairly, andssee II they are not
compelled to admit that 1t is the rock-ribbed
and everlasting truth. The ante-bellum
Virginia is dead--as dead as the Roman'em-
pire. The Virginia Of the future is to be n
great commonwealth teeming with the rich
and redundant life Of diversified industries.
One party points to the past lives on the
memories of the war, clings to exploded
theories, worships dead systems, hates prog
ress, and fosters those ideas Of caste which
grew up in the days of slavery.
The other party accepts the logic Of facts,
has cut loose from the corpse Of the con-
federacy, believes in the future greatness
and glory Of a state that is incomparaby
rich in natural resources, and pushes on for
the great achievements that Providence has
placed withinit reach.
Virginia, rescued from the blight Of bour
| bonism, will be one of the richest and grand
est members Of the family OF states.
Virginia held In bourbon bondage viii
repel capital and enterprise aud be rich only
| IN foolish pride.

for IN allying herself to the Republican
party-the party that believes in national
development and national progress-is
shown by Mr.. Sherman in an argument
that will be pondered for years to come in
the homes Of thousands Of Virginians His
appeal to the pride, the patriotism, aud the
solf-intcrcst OF Vlrginians is simply irro7isti-
BILE. IL will live long after the elections Of

One Of the most interesting features of
Mr.. Sherman's mastery speech Is his adj
mirably clear statement Of the fundamental
difference between the two great parties.
lie shows that this difference Is the same
now as It was a hundred years ago-the
same that divided the people Of Virginia in
the very beginning Of the government. lie
tells the people Of Virginia that their state
had the honor Of giving birth to the two
great men who, above all others, may be
considered as the great leaders in two OPP
posing theories as to the nature and form of
our national government. As chief Justice
Of the Supreme Court Of the United States
for thirty-fOur years Marshall was able, by
his decisions, to mark out the foundations
and establish the principles of strong
national government, with ample power to
maintain itself against Gll enemies at home
or abroad, Mr.. jefferson was the author
and champion OF the other theory, aud, no
doubt by reason of his observations Of mon
archy in Europe, was actuated by an honest
opposition to what he called concentrated
power, forgetting, however, rs Mr.. shcr-
man happily puts It, that the power Of our
national government was the power Of the
people when administered by the nation as
well as when administered by the state.
Mr.. Sherman shows that ii was upon this
dividing line between national aul state
authority that the civil warwls fought, an
It should have been followed by the ablu-
Lonment of the doctrine which led TO the
contest, So that now 1t may be said in theory,
II not IN practice, the doctrines Of John
Marshall are the established principles OF
national law, while the Democratic party
still adhcres to the old theories, and still
seeks to belttle, to limit, aud to cripple the
powers Of the national government as to
many of the great and necessary objects Of
national policy,
That Virginia has nothing to gain by
clmging to the exploded theories Of dead
