Fitz Lee Nominal d.

The Democratic State Convention, for
the purpose of nominating candidates for
Governor, Lieutenant-G Governor and At
torney General, assembled in Richmond
yesterday. Jno. S. Barbour called the Con.
vention to order. He congratulated the
Democrats upon the result of the last Ma
tional election and declared that whilst
Cleveland had been accused of going slow
in turning out Republican ofice-holders,
yet Virginia had no right to complain, as
nearly every office of Importance in the
State was now, or soon would be, filled by a
Democrat.
Henry Pollard. of King and Queen, was
made permanent chairman.
Ali of the names were presented last
night, and at II O'Clock the Convention
was in great confusion with indications of
row.
When partial quiet was restored, Fitz-
hugh Lee was nominated on the first bal
lot.
Up to the time Of our going to press, 12
O'Clock, the ticket had not been completed
The Republicans certainly have no right
to complain. so far as the head of the
ticket is concerned.

The Congressional syndicate to manipu-
lateIF ederal offices, convened by appoint
ment at Washington last week, but find
ing there were no more 'rascals" to turn
out, they adjourned over to meet in Rich
mond on the Goth. That is the time of
the Democratic Convention, and it may be
the object of this office-dispensing ring to
dictate the nomination of the Democratic
State ticket. Talk about '.bossism" and
greed for Office on the part of Malone
and the Republicans Why there never has
been in the history of the country more
despotic, greedy and grasping ring than is
constituted of the Democratic Congress
men from Virginia, or the same number
of men who have resorted to more indie
fensible methods to control Office. They
are spoilsmen of the most offensive kind
and have shown their readiness to prosti-
tute their official positions to the most rep
rehensible partlzanism. Having finished
their work at Washington, they will try
their hands on the Convention. Then the
people will have chance at them and
give an expression of their opinion at the
ballot box.

The civil service tendencies of the Post
off ce department are illustrated in the re,
moval of Mr.. ]. w. Weaver as postmaster
at Luray, Va. The Courier, published at
that place, mentions the matter as fol-
lows 1.-THE Post Master General last week
appointed Mr.. John S. Grayson, Postmas-
ter at Luray. Mr.. Weaver, whom he dis
places, has been the incumbent Of the of
flee during the last twenty years, having
been appointed during President John
sons administration. We are sure we
voice the sentiment Of every man, woman
and child, who during Mr.. WIS term have
been served by him that no Office in Vir-
ginia, or for that matter in the United
States. has been filled with more honesty,
faithfulness and uniform courtesy. Had
the wish of q very large majority of our
citizens been consulted, Mr.. w. would
not have been removed. He had never
been ''partiZan,' much less an "offen-
sive" one, and no well-founded charge or
one that could have been sustained, could
have been preferred against him. He
leaves the office with the goodwill and
confidence of all who know him."
Mr.. Weaver is one of O'Ferrall's VIC
Tins. When the time comes for OFFER
rail- to ask for reelection he will find
that the common-sense and common
fairness of many of his party will
take pleasure in rebuking his crazy par
tizanism, and will seek some one else who
has higher conception of the duty
of Congressman than he has yet man.

Prostrasted industries and idle labor
with all their attendant evils are stronger
arguments against the Democratic party
than any that could be formulated into
words. They are the legitimate fruits of
the ..distrust which pervades all depart.
ments of enterprise of the Democratic
party and it's free-trade tendencies. and
we fear the deplorable conditions which
now exist will only be aggravated for
some time to come. The country is paw
ing dearly for the experiment of Demo
cratic administration. If only those who
voted to bring about this depressed state Of
affairs were affected, there would be some.
thing like retributive justice in it, but
like the rain, it must fall upon the just and
the unjust, and drag all down to a COM
mon condition. The vitality of the conn.
try may bear up under it for time. until
the people can voice their Fesentments. but
the amount of loss and suffering that will
be occasioned in the meantime is fearful to
contemplate.

President. Cleveland has entitled him.
self to the respect and appreciation of eve
ry one who has any knowledge of Indian
affairs. and the causes which have led to
hostile demonstrations, by his proclamation
declaring the leases of lands in the Arapa-
hoe and Cheyenne reservations to cattle.
men illegal. Not only have they been de-
clared Illegal, but the cattle lease proprie-
tors have been ordered to leave within 40
days, or to be driven off by the military.
Gen. Sheridan points out that the origin
of the difficulties with these tribes is d.
rectly traceable to these leases, and the oc-
cupation of the lands by white men not le-
gally entitled to do so. In response, the
President issued his proclamation, order
ing all the lease-holders and cattle men to
leave forthwith, which is exactly right
and deserves the commentator of the
country. 1t will prevent Indian outbreaks
and settle the much talked of Indian hos
ilities.

Willie Sprague, son of ex-senator VIM.
Sprague, of New Jersey, married the SIS
ter of his fathers wife last week-a Miss
Weed, of West Virginia, 1t will be remem-
bered that ex-Gov. Sprague, some months
ago, married a divorced woman in Staun-
ton. The lady's maiden name was Weed !,
and her parents reside in West Virginia.
The Ex-Governor took his new wife to
New Jersey, where her sister was staying
with her, and where young Sprague mar
ried the young lady clandestinely. They
are both quite young under twenty.

After having brought about the ruin of
John Roach and his great ship-building
industry, the Democratic free-trade jour
nails are expressing their great sorrow for
his misfortunes. Political persecution,
and nothing else, was the cause of it.
Secretary Whitney knew the power of
John Roach as a champion of protection
and supporter of the Republican party,
and it was to break him down and neutral
ize his influence in the fall election in
New York, that the cruel warfare was
made upon him. But the blood of the
martyr will be the seed of the church,
The aroused indignation of the laboring
classes, because of the disasters of Roach,
will be more potential than all the efforts
and energies of the great ship builder
would have been. It will cost the Demo-
cratic party from 10000 to 20. 900 votes in
the November election in New York.

To find fault is easy. Even the most
stupid of Bourbons show no incapaclty for
that. Intact, 1t is Bourbonisna or Mug
aoatnapery, and it is to play into the hands
OF Bourbonism to adopt the suggestions
and phrases by which BourbonS would
evade the main issue and escape arraign-
ment for their chief offences. Let all true
| Republicans remember this Wing.
| AS the VIRGINIAN last week expressed
| it's disapprobation of the terms in which
some portions of the Republican address
were couched, we assume that the above
paragraph was intended for it. 1t we are
correct in this, we have only to say that
the Wing cannot teach the VIRGINIAN as
to it's duty to the Republican party or what
is Republicanism. It for years fought the
battles of the Republican party singly and
alone among Virginia journals, and at a
time when it tried mems souls to be Re-
publicans. Our aim in this canvass shall
be to win votes, and not repel them, and
this cannot be done by bitter invective
and denunciation. Men of different par
ty relations will listen to reason, but not
to abuse, and as the Republicans have all
the reasons and all the facts, which should
command the confidence and support of
the people, we deem it wisest to appeal
to their reason and not inflame their pas
sions. Denunciation begets anger and it
is worse than useless to attempt to argue
or expostulate with an angry person. The
VIRGINIAN does not conclude that every
thing and everybody are vile that are OPP
posed to it, but recognizes that men hon.
estly differ on public questions, and that
the only way to convince them of their er-
ror, if error there should be, is to expose
it by argument and convincing fact. Let
the facts of the records of the two parties
be placed fairly and calmly before the peo-
pie and invite their deliberate and impair
tial consideration of these facts. If they
cannot be convinced in that way. they GER
tainly cannot be by denunciation and
abuse. We have a just cause, which re-
quires no infammatory appeals or sulphur
Gus epithets to sustain. 1t addresses it.
self to the self-interest, the patriotism
and State devotion Of every citizen, and
all that.is necessary is to SO present it as to
command the calm reflection and impair
tial Judgment Of honest men. Only in
this way can prejudice against party
name be overcome, and the higher consid-
Grafton of measures and policies be proper
ly impressed. The Wings conceded abll-
ity, to our view, is compromised, not I'M
frequently, and it's influence doubtless to
some degree impaired by the fierceneSs of
it's language and Indebtedness of it's tenn
per. Let our contemporary experiment with
molasses instead Of vinegar in catchingfiies
for awhile, and see how it will work.
