CONGRESSIONAL ELECTIONS

The week closed with every indication
OF Democratic success all along the line
Mr. Blaine's wild campaign in Penn
sylyania has been the focus of the RePub-
lican policy in its virulent form, and his
utterances, with the well-known fact that
he is the big card for the Presidential nomi-
nation in 1888, has much to do with crystal
ling and uniting the Democracy on the
true principles that represent the SAFETY
of our free institutions.
Perhaps the most powerful factor IN
the growing power OF the Democracy Is
the agreeable surprise to the conservative
element of the Republicans and indie
pendents and the capital interest OF all
parties that Cleveland's administration
has been absolutely safe in all respects,
and that the transfer of power was made
to a party under honest influences
Though in this year the contests are
more in local than national issues, yet
the loss of the patronage and the power
to the Republicans shows with great ell
feet everywhere.
In the South the fact that there is no
longer any plumber and no longer a
great party headquarters in the Govern
ment itself, demoralizes the Republicans
greatly.
In Virginia, we believe that with any
spirit in the canvass and proper use OF
the prestige of victory, we could have
carried all the districts.
As it is, we feel confident Of nine.
In the Metropolitan district we are
best aware of the absolute necessity OF
maintaining the Democratic power.
1t is only necessary for every good Cit
izen to do his duty to himself, his neigh
Dor. and his country.

GLORIOUS LIBERTY.

There are two ways Of looking at most
things. To the intelligent and patriotic
public Liberty Enlightening the World
is gloriously inspiring. Woman, TO u.s.
stands for everything pure, high, hopeful
and happy. BY the light of her heaven
" praces the human race has risen out OF
depravity and ignorance from darkness
TO light, and has advanced from glory to
glory. She stands for the spiritual part
of man, and her person may well
he identified with the highest
thought that can possess man. Enfran-
chised thought, enfranchised action, man
hood working upon principle, makes glo-
rious liberty. In the light Of such thoughts
we may contemplate Liberty Enlighten-
ing the World"
But there is another view that may be
taken. and none better than the French
can tell us of the Petr0leuse Woman
frantic under communistic heresies, with
a torch ready TO set the world on fire
While we contemplate the great achieve
ment of genius that meets the immigrant,
let us remember how easily the greatest
blessing NAV be turned to the direst
curse. That will be our dread experience
when. under communistic teachings, our
glorious liberty shall turn to unrestrained
license.

THE PRESIDENT s RECEPTION.

The form of open reception at the
White House has gone through many
changes since the aristocratic days when
Dolly Madison presided, down to the time
when Lincoln, of blessed memory, in
augurated the style of receiving the apple
woman and chimney-sweep as well as the
French Minister.
To-day the Democratic Chief Magis-
trate has adopted happy medium be-
tween the aristocratic and the mob style
of reception, and there is enough of for
mality to impart the proper dignity to the
occasion.
On last Friday about four hundred per
sons were presented.
There were ladies couples, otfice-seekers,
and in fact all the curious grades of peo-
pie from all parts who frequent Washing
ton.
zone large and portly gentleman" says
a reporter, "at the end of the line, in the
full consciousness of being an old friend

his hand very impulsively, remarking,
Did you ever see me before? The man
apparently had no doubt that the Presi-
dent would greet him with all the recog-
milton and fervor of an old acquaintance,
and the President threw no cold water
on the fervent gentleman's expectations.

1t is positively shocking" as Lord
Allcash says in the opera, to hear from
Lord Charles Beresford that the British
navy is in bad condition, and that the
finest ship Her Majesty has on the sea
could be blown out of the water by a
modern shell which her own armament
would be incompetent to do battle with
against first-class enemy.
We know, however, at the same time
that if Lord Beresford is right the neces-
,ary reform will be inaugurated quickly
and when Britains pride and might
are brought to bear on war business we
know that she will be all right.

A certain individual, with malicious
intent, has been circulating the report
that the DAILY TINES does not give out
its work according to what its principles
and pledges indicate.
As a rule, every ass wants to mind
other peoples business when he does not
know how to conduct his own, and there
never was a real unalloyed idiot who did
not think he could run a newspaper
The fact is that our paper is conducted
to the entire satisfaction of its sponsors,
who are citizens of this State and men
competent to judge of the principles and
ability of the editor.
The only thing that anybody else has
to do with it is its quality as news
paper; and, barring the hypochondriac
croakers and the chronic meddlers happily
in an extremely small minority, the indica-
tons of popular favor and of brilliant
success are unprecedented.

We congratulate the Wing on the judg-
ment and patriotism with which it takes
a sensible position for debt settlement;
and it only remains now for the press OF
the State to see that it is a duty to the
people to tell the strict truth, and not to
follow a party policy-which is merely
the idea of a few mel. The people have
not even been informed that the State S
creditors were willing to settle on the ba-
sis of the States surplus revenue left over
after paving for the government, schools,
and everything else.

Some radical newspapers at the North
like to pirate about bulldozing voters in
the South. The fact is that in Virginia
elections have been fairer than in any
other State. There may have been iso-
lated cases of corruption, but all citizens
poll their votes even when they appear at
the polls herded by Mahone-like sheep.
The election Tuesday, under Demo
cratic rule, will show fairer poll than
was ever known.
The only exception to the rule was UNI
der the Arthur Malone regime.

Mr.. Evarts got off a joke in his Grafton
somewhat with the grace Of dromedary

But the fates (enraged at the audacious
trespass of perfunctory dignity on the

that the witches did on the undertaken
who went to the ball.
They arranged for the salute to be fired
and the veil to fall from the statue some
time before the signal, and it caught Ey-
arts on the summit of his best climax in
the middle of his speech.

Human Nature.

There is something queer in the fact that a
man does not like to go out Of his way. You
ask man how far it is TO GrcenvillC. and he
tells you ten miles, you can drive that dis
lance and not get particularly tired. But if
he tells you that it is four miles. but the river
is up and you will have to go two miles out of
your way, making eight miles in all, you
will think it is the longest eight miles you
ever rode in your life. When you get with
in two miles of Greenville you will say that
if you had not had to have gone out Of your
way you would be there now, and that

Mr. ;. Hewitt is out in a vigorous
reply TO George. He states that he has
never found only the necessary assess

his deeds and not words to prove what he
has done for the masses.
He accuses George of seeking to revive
the horrors of the French Revolution, and
contrasts the vigorous campaign Of George
with the calm and judicious course of Mr..
Arthur, Chief of the Brotherhood of Engi-
neers, and considers the latter the safer
exemplar for the workingmen.
