THE NATIONAL DEMOCRACY

The genera! opinion on all sides Is that
the time and place fixed for the Conyen-
ton are propitious and that the Demo
Gratis have only to take positive stand
for tariff reform TO secure great victory.
The relations between the two parties
in the presidential contest depend entire.
ly on the platform of the Democratic
party In fact the battle will be settled
in the Democratic Convention, for the
majority Of the people Of the United
States are anxious TO vote with the party
thst will give reliable assurances that il
will break Up The ubiquitous system of
war taxes.
The fact that the National Committee
meeting in Washington determined to
take the field first indicates that the
leaders Of the Democracy feel the respon.
sibility of the situation and will mFy1 il.
The action of the committee is one of
those preliminary .epsCdes that inspires
confidence 'i>the judgment and spirit Of
a pTtys leadership.
I'VE have only now to understand
that local Interests and issues must be
subordinated 10 the national platform Of
the party 80 that each State shall have
the support of all the others In Vlr-
ginia we want TO leave the debt question,
the Blair bill, and all local issues In the
background TO be kept for local contests
The people will have over twenty weeks
to think about the great issue of tax re-
duction, which should not be complicated
with any other subject.

At last one day no got his chance.
His speech was simply torrent Of vulgar
abuse, and would have attracted unmItlg0ted
lisgust had it not been for his peculiar gest-
ures, which tempered the disgust with mirth.
He had fashion OF raising his arms just rs
high above his head as possible, and then
wlinging bis hands ~ though he were making
delirious attempt to wiring them of. Well,
DID Ben sat through the speech with his one
good eve half shut, not moving muscle.

his seat Ben arose-calm, digniiled ald i'm

minute be said nothing Then he began:
Mr. Speaker Another pause, long and

The business men Of Richmond have
recognized the TINES as the organ of
correct ideas In all our local affairs We
pointed out yesterday the proper course
for the Legislature In the proposed
measures relating 10 the insurance laws,
and also in the matter of compulsory
pilotage. In all public affairs the ethics
of journalism Is TO be intelligent as 10
the bearings of the case, and absolutely
Just In criticism. Sometimes In South.
err States politics demand sacrifices of
opinion.
We do hope that we shall never be 50
badly of as to be asked to sacrifice prin.
ciple. People may often not approve
OF the course of newspaper on certain
public questions, but the policy OF the
Richmond TINES 10 TO command the
respect that honesty and intelligence are
entitled to, and 1t is quite certain, as we
have already found out, that the public
generally will prefer courageous and
honest expression OF opinion to truck
ling appeal to popular favor.

THE LIBBY PRISON.

| When the news came here by telegraph
some time ago that company proposed
TO move Libby Prison to Chicago We
stated that the idea of preserving monu
ment TO the bad elements Of war was no,
only unpstriotic but wicked
But how very wicked it becomes when
the scheme is exploited with the viles,
Misrepresentation such az that set forth
in lurid terms by handful Of pretended
ex-prisoners. If the people of either sec
ton choose 10 raise monuments to cour.
age and patriotism, 1t ia nothing but tina,
all good citizens can approve, but to take
a Wondering old prison and put i, in the
heart OF the North with a manufactured
history engraved on its walls is Injurious
and an outrage on the present feeling OF
reconciliation. II is still more all out
rage 10 infame passion that il
1t proposes TO keep burning, after blow
ing it into life from the ashes that both
sections had spread over their dead.
But we must take still another view OF
this question If gang of human
ghouls are to search the graveyards and
prisons for ghastly material out Of which
to make still more CHASTITY and hdcous
monsters Of fiction, the fiction will be a
simple comparison of the treatment Of
prisoners By the two sides-the Union
and the Confedoracy. The records arc
sufficiently authentic to show that the
North with the resources OF the world
did not treat the prisoners as well as we
did ours who had not meat TO give our
soldiers in the field.
We DO not for a moment believe that
the North viii countenance this piece of
bloody shirt brokerage There is one
way to put stop to this trick, and that
is TO call the citizens Of Richmond TO let
the owners of the Libby Prison know
that they will give fair price for the
Libby Prison sooner than have 1t taken
to Chicago like skeleton Of the wal TO
be painted with all the damnable false
hoods that the ghouls can devise
If the owners of Libby Prison then
choose to let it be taken to Chicago they
will have TO take part Of the response
