IT cannot be urged 100 often that the
Virginia Democracy must be organized
for the coming contest on principle Of
popular harmony. The Democratic
candidates for the GoverDorship are all
known to be Democrats representing
the true principles Of the party, and
they should come beforothe convention
without any handicap Of strong per
sopal preferences that might excite
any feeling, but an honorable rivalry
for an honor that may be the good for
tune of one man to-day, and another
in 1892 or 1910.
1t is common thing in the chance
OF politics that the best men get left
but the reputation of patriotic party
leader il better than the honor Of a
high office, for in one case the obliga-
ton is considered by tho people to be
always due. and in the other it is paid
and the recipient generally left after
his term to mediate on his glory in Sc
rene retirement.

THE Jldge'S cartoon representing
President Harrison with white wings
and a pink scarf may be zoologically
interesting, except that it is picture

of the Postmaster General is lefs out Of
the circus.

1t is pleasant to see that graat
philosopher and poet ike Eugene Field
can take enough daily interes, in
practical politics to whack the chestnut
demagogue with trcnchant tomahawk
asfOllows:
I'VE learn from the Tribune this
morning that the recent victory Of cur
forces at Fort DOnelsOn is all the great
er because the rebels outnumbered our
forces two to one. We also learn that
in the skirmish at Hank s school-house
there were thirteen "secesh" to one
Federal, and yet that one brave man
captured them all. But even in the
midst OF victory we wish the cruel war
were over and that the Tribune would
talk about something which happened
during the last twenty years"
