THE VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.

As the time draws rapidly near that Is
so fraught with the fate Of the Demo
cratic party, the people Of Virginia
should think seriously Of the necessity
for putting the local direction OF affairs
in the hands of sensible and patriotic
men. The Executive Committee are u
be trusted in all respects, and the fact
that there are only five members Is an
advantage, when their authority can pre-
vail with the State Committee and with
the people.
| At such a time we have no criticisms
J to make that could mar the harmony of
the party in Virginia, but we do most
earnestly urge that the party be posted in
line with the national Democracy, SO that
we shall have the support of the entire
power OF the Democracy from right to
left, front and rear, and with the TANKS
all protected with the solid principles
of Jefferson Democracy, that four years
ago against the odds and under great dis
advantages won the victory just by the
impact of their own force.
To continue the military figure as an
illustration we would lave the people Of
Virginia to understand that we must
hold The fort this time and We will be
safe In power for at least twenty years,
and by that time The Republican party
will not have anything more tangible than
tradition to represent its once for
midable array.
What are these national issues
First, is the Democratic principle 10
preserve popular rights against the class
privileges fosiered by the Republicans in
great land grants to corporations and in
war Tariff taxes in time of peace TO pro-
tect the few at the expense of the
many
Second, is the undying opposition Of
Democracy to this infamous system that
under Republican laws allows corpora
tons to combine to manipulate the mar
kets by Trusts companies, and put the
necessary articles of life above the proper
and just prices
Upon these hard principles of Democ.
racy which are opposed by the Repubii-
cans the Democrats of Virginia can rally
their forces
Upon the other hand, if we are to stop
to discuss and wrangle among ourselves
about the tobacco tax or the debt ques-
ton or the Blair bill, you had as well
hang our cOlors on the inner walls and
leave great cause to old women of both
sexes.
When Democratic principles are to be
championed the TIMES always wants to be
in the front, but we want 10 see our
squadrOns bravely and wisely set in the
field by cool heads, and then the battle
for the right will be such as TO inspire TO
the very best efforts every man who
knows what the victory will be worth.

An idea worthy of the great national
interest which surrounds tbe cultivation
OF one of Americas greatest triumphs,
the trotting horse, is suggested by re-
cent challenge Of prominent breeder
and by the reply Of one of his colleagues.
The challenge amounts to This, that a
horse not trained on the trotiing track
may be a better breeder than one thor
oughly trained.
That is a curious proposition, for it is
generally believed that training in a Ger
tain quality becomes heredity, just as
the long teaching of settlers and pointers
becomes a natural quality in the dog.

THY STAND OK THEIR MERIT.

THE Republican ticket nominated
for Marion county is approved by all
the party journals Of the county a.
fairly and judiciously selected, and
. its success at the polls islooked upon
~ morally certain. But this sue.
cess. it must be borne in mind, will
. not bp achieved, without faithful
work. The republicans have two
parties to fight in the election, and
as the frame Of mind Of the average
voter is I'm an indeterminate state,
constant effort must be expended i'm
exposing misstatement, and keep.
ing the merits Of the republican
cause before the people. 1t has
been truthfully urged that partisan
politics have but little to do with
the fitness Of man for county or
municipal Office. The administra-
ton Of local affairs calls for
sound judgment and good
business qualities, and the man
who combines with these good NOR
al character and rcctitudc Of con-
duct, II the one who may be safely
chosen without regard to his party.
This has been 80 often insisted
upon that IL has grown TO be a tru-
ism. And it will be noticed that
our county delegates in selecting
men for office were governed by this
consideration, because the slate they
made up stands on its own merits,
and commands the confidence Of
every right thinking man. No ma
chine tricks were resorted to, no
bossi-m attempted, no barter and
sale The proceedings of the entire
session were jealOusly watched, and
the blttcrest partisan, who might
he present, has made no intimation
of trickcry or collusion. The seven
or eight score Of delegates seemed 10
be- animated with one spirit fairly
10 represent the communities who
sent them, and To choose set Of |
men for public office whose intrinsic /
merit would command the support .
n their fellow citizens.
A business thus fairly inaugurated
will be honestly carried through.
Few reasonable, unprejudiced men,
10 matter what their politics, are
willing to sacrifice their material in
ercsts to win II party triumph.
When the security Of our property

public peace, the care Of the county
unds, and the general ordering ofour
'ublic affairs are involved, they
naturally look for capable and trust
worthy men for such IA trust, giving
