a Democratic Paper.
Margaret vindicator.


The Fort Worth GAZETTE fought a
good fight for its favorites before the
Democratic state convention, and got
beat. But she appears, in our Judgment,
grander in defeat than many OF her oppo-
nents with the "fiush of victory mantllng
their brows." The cause of it, we think,
Is this: THE GAZETTE is a Democrat and
can render you reason for 1t If required,
which very many OF the dirt singers can.
not do. And hence, when her party
named the ticket, and placed its banner
In the leaders, hand, telling him to 90
forth and conquer, though he was not her
choice, her sword came forth with visible
energy, and ranging herself under that
banner, in line with the rest, she declared
her purpose to share the battle with
them, and support the cause with all her
might. And she is doing as promised
No uncertain sound. No whining. or
complaining. But manful blows against
the enemies of the peoples party, and
earnest exhortations for harmony and
discipline in the ranks. We cannot have
too many such papers. All honor to the
Fort Worth GAZETTE.

and on very reasonable grounds. Hii
youth and inexperlence in public matters
are discussed, and the fact Of the district
being q close one is cited as reason why
the Democrats should put forth the
strongest and ablest man they can tind,
instead OF this young man whose CHIEF
recommendationis that he bears a spotlees
name and Is the son OF Gen. Lee. Life
long Democrats In the district, whose
venerAtion for Gen. Robert r. Lee
amounts almost TO idolstry, declare that
the state has done enough IN the way Of
honor TO Gen. Lees defendants; that
the contest is too important to be treated
IS matter Of sentiment, and ayow their
belief that II young Lee is nominated an
Independent will certainly be elected.
They esteem the young man and honor
his name, but say they cannot afford to
lose the district, even to compliment q
son OF Robert Lee. 1t is al
together doubtful II Mr.. Lee
can get the nomination and equally
as doubtful II he can be elected,
provided he is nominated. There are
some people who will lament this cpl
sode. They will declare that II indicates
decadence OF Southern sentiment and
comment upon it In an altogether grue-
full spirit. But sentiment aside, can 1t
be denied that those Virginia Democrats
who want young Lee to stay at home and
bide his time are acting wisely2 The
Virginia Democrats know that a cam
paign means hard work and close tight.
Sentiment is admirable-sometimes, but
there are times and places to
display IT.. The nomination Of
Fitzhugh Lee for governor of Vir-
ginia was more or less sentimental,
but 1t was also practical, because Fltz-
hugh Lee is a mstured man, and at the
time when he was put forward for gov
ernor his nomination was shrewd move.
Public trusts ought to be con1ded to the
ablest men. A historic name and unblem-
6hC NV ONluCHOOo VI
ability. There must be something more.
There is no disrespect to the memory Of
Robert Lee In the opposition to his son.
1t is simply question of expedlency, and
indicates that the day Of sentiment in pol
itics is passing away; that people are
coming to recognition Of the fact that
business capacity, experience and intel
lect are what they need in their public
servants, and that without them family
name should not be the "open sesame"
to public preferment. 1t will be well
when this spirit becomes more general
than 1t is. The country will get more val
liable public service as result Young
Lee is esteemed as a man throughout the
length and breadth of Virginia, and in
time to come will no doubt receive all
the preferment to which he may show
himself entitled.

THE SENTIMENTAL PHASE OF
POLITICS.

The growing disposition In the South
TO select candidates for office on
the score Of personal merit and
probable usefulness in the positions to
which they are called, finds torcible illus
tratlon in one Of the congressional dis.
tricts of Virginia. Young "Runey" Lee,
$ son OF Gen. Robert n. Lee, is an aspi-
rant for the nomination in that district.
He was child during the war, so Of
course he can have no prestige In a mill
tsry way. He has never engaged in pol.
itics and is simply apopular, genial young
man who bears the honored name Of Lee
It is by no means probable he would
have been thought Of, much less put for
ward for the nomination hut for his rela.
tlonship to the great general, pure pa.
triot and honest man. He is Lee OF
Virginia, the son OF his father and hence
Is urged for preferment. But "Runey''
Lee's canvass is nota smooth one nor are
his prospects colear De rose. In fact
there is a great deal Of opposition to him

Concerning Our national Banks.
New York Sun


Some Of the editors of country news
papers are worrying themselves and their
readers with speculations as to what is to
become OF the national banks when all TIE
bonds of the United States are called In
and the bank circulation based on them
is retired. They seem to be firmly con,
WINGED that banks cannot exist without
circulation, and that the whole national
bank system must come to an end unless
the institutions organized under 1t issue
circulating notes. We do not see the
matter In that light. The legitimate bust
ness OF banks is to receive deposits and
discount notes, and II they cannot live OF
that they have no right to exist. The
privilege Of issuing notes to circulate as
money should be reserved exclusive.
" to the national government, and that
IS what is going to be done very
shortly.

KENTUCKY holds to the idea that, "to
