Il GOOD BEGINNING.

The Democratic State Central Commit
tee showed its good sense in Rlchm ono
last Thursday by doing nothing. Any ac-
tion in some Of the directions urged on it,
would have been exceedingly unwise and
beyond its jurisdiction. This wise begin
ming augurs we'll for the outcome of the
State campaign of 1899. And let us just
here state that no Democrat need have
any fear about Virginia next fall if we
have a wise and active head to our party. If
the Democratic party polls the same vote
next November, that it did for Cleveland
and Thurman last November, it villas
an analysis of the vote of last November
shoWs-carry the House by eight majority
and the Senate by i've majority. With a
bold. wise and shrewd head of the party,
in the place of Chairman of the Central
Committee, like J. Taylor Ellyson Of Rich
mond, the D Democracy is sure to win. They
can only lose the State by laundering in
their choice of a leader, Or their choice of
nominee for Governor. The wisdom their
committee showed in Richmond last week
leads us to believe that there will be no
laundering anywhere.
