STATE REPUBLTCAN VOTE.

There is ground for anticipating that "A
number Of Republicans of more or less
prominence in this State will, in the fall
elections, use their influence and cast their
votes in favor of the Democratic candidates.
1t Ia not at all improbable that the example
thus set will be initiated by a faT proportion
Of the more respectable elements in the rank
and file of The Republican party, men who
are sufficiently patriotic to rise above mere
partisan considerations in the exercise of
their right Of suffrage. There are evidences
that the Force bill is as distasteful to the
best class Of Nirginian Republicans as TO
the Democrats themselves, and these Repub-
licans are not to be dragOoned into cOunten-
ancing it by their action at the polls.
THE TINES had occasion recently to quote
at some length from a very strong letter adj
dressed by Judge Sener, Of Fredericksburg,
a leading Republican, to the Washington
Post, in which he dwelt upon the damage
that would be inflicted upon the Republican
party in this section by the passage Of the
Lodge bill. Many Of his party associates in
this state must entertain the same Opin-
ions, and while some may not give an ac-
tive support to Democratic candidates. yet
even they will assist in the eloetion ofthese
candidates by remaining away from the
polls.
1t would seem as if all these influences
would have very considerable effect in
swelling the Democratic vote, which must
reach an unusual volume on account OF the
Indignation which the threatened national
election law has excited in the breasts of
Democrats. irrespective Of age or condition

began TO compete with foreign manufacture
ers in the same line OF goods. II Is true that
New England was protected TO very I'M
portant degree against the world, but the
South would be iusl as much protected to-
day IA New England is If II could once be-
gin upon a good footing TO manufacture the
class OF cotton goods referred to. All that the
Southern states require IN this respect are
skilled dcsigne,s and trained operatives,
d If these cannot be imported from the
Northern States, ;hey can be obtained by
the establishment of art aud industrial
schools and chronological institutes.
That such schools and institutes will he
established at an early day In different Sec
tons Of the South, Is hardly open TO doubt,
| for il Is the logical consequence Of the ma
tcrial development now going on in the
southern states, which will not be salts

velopment shall have been turned TO &C.
count. Let the stagnatiOn in the market for
low grade cotton goods often occur, and the
| Southern manufacturers will be compelled
10 consider more closely than they have
done as yet the variation of their forms OF
cotton manufacture, and any step in con-
sequence that they may be led to take looking
| 10 the establishment Of art and industrial
! schools, will have the pccuniary support as
well as active sympathy Of every branch OF
Southern industry that is dependent upon
| chronological institutes for trained workers.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1890-09-02

The falling of in the demand for low grade
cottons and the decline in prices that fol-
lowed during portion of the last fiscal
year, were matters of very grave impor-
lance to the manufacturers of cotton goods
in the Southern States apart from any tem-
porary loss Of income. 80 far. the South
has confined its attention entirely TO the
manufacture Of low grades of cotton goods.
The comparatively recent history Of this
branch of business is warning TO the
Southern mani iacturers engaged in 1t,
that too firm a reliance cannot be placed
upon its protita5leness in spite Of the fact
that they are gradually obtaining control
OF the market in this special direction. 1t
Is evident that if they wish 10 secure their
position beyond peradyenture, they must
seek 10 compete successfully with the New
England manufacturers OF second and
third-class cotton goods, such as lawns and
calicoes.
Ia an article Of recent date the Charleston
News and Courier expressed very great
doubt az 20 whether the southern States
would ever be able 10 enter lnto SUCCESSFUL
competition with their Northern rivals in
the production Of these finer classes OF
goods, basing it's opinion upon the sup
posed impossibiIity of obtaining skilled
directors and carefully trained operatives.
Al present there are no designers In the
south and no operatives sufficiently edu-
Gated and practised TO use any designs that
might be furnished. II is, however, ditiicr I,
10 see the justification for the pessimistic
view OF the News and Courier with regard
10 meeting this want in the future.
There appears to be no more reason why
the South should not secure in time
the designers and operatives II needs for
the manufacture OF higher class
nf cotton goods than there was mat New
England should not secure them when she

THE sPEAKER's CANVASS.

A very active canvass is in progress IN
the Congressional district now represented
by MIR. Reed. 1t is one Of the most striking
peculiarities Of this canvass that, although
upon fair vote there is no hopeless inc
quality in the strength of the two parties
in favor of the Republicans, yet the Demo
Gratis are not as sanguine of success a. II

the apathy existing among the Republican
voters Is recalled, as well as the number OF
the members of the same party who openly
assert their determination to bolt the nomi-
nation of the Speaker and support his Dem
cratic opponent.
This opponent is one Of the very ablest
men in Maine. a lawyer Of the highest
standing in his profession, public man
who has filed very acceptably the many
local offices Of importance 10 which he has
been elected in the past, and citizen OF
unblemished character in private life. The
comparative dependency of the. Democrats
over the prospect which their candidate has
of election, is due entirely to the lavish use
which the Republican managers, acting
under the immedi ate direction Of Mr.. Reed,
are making Of the enormous corruption
fund which has been placed at their dis
posal. 1t is stated on excellent authority
that the Speaker is prepared TO spend at
least one hundred thousand dollars to en-
sure his return to Congress, and this sum is
now being openly placed where II is certain
10 do the most good, tina; e. in the pockets
of the numerous purchasable voters who
infest the district.
The Democratic candidate has publicly
declared his intention to carry on the cam
paign purely upon the merits Of his parry,
and refuses positively TO allow one dollar
20 he spent in his canvass beyond what Is
absolutely required by the ordinary eX-
penses which are entaled. His supporters
are urgently demanding the passage OF a
secret ballot law as their only protection,
but such u law hardly COMFORTS with the
designs OF Reed and his followers, and, con-
sequently. there is no hope of its being
brought into early operation. Let Reed,
however, proceed in his course Of political
fraud and debauchery. When he has
sounded every depth of corruption, II is not
wholly improbable that his own cen
stituents will turn upon him, and do at late
hour what it would have been well for them
10 have done long agO-that is, refuse 10
advance him again TO a seat in that assem-
bly, whose reputation he has done more to
bring into discredit than any member
probably who ever belonged TO il.

TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 2, 1890.
CELEBRATION OF LABoR-DAy.

The celebration on yesterday Of Labor
Day was one Of the most notable in its pro-
portions as well as impressive in its general
significance that mas occurred in this city
In a very long time. SO far, the state OF
New York alone has constituted what il
known as Labor-Day as n legal holiday, but
the energy with which the labor organza-
tons throughout the country are urging the
proposition that its recognition as such shall
be general leaves little room for doubt that
in a comparatively short period the first
of September will he set apart for genera
celebration by all the labor organizations OF
che United States.
Such a step will have the approval of
every class. The glory OF America lies as
much in its working classes as in any other
portions Of its communities. Nowhere IN
the civilized world have these classes risen
TO greater enlightenment and dignity than
in the States Of the Union, and their pro-
gress upward has been steady and assured.
1t is well, therefore. that their Industrial or
CARNATIONS chould devote one day in each
year to ceiebra ing all those interests which
bind them together by so many ties, and to
cherishing in the various scenes that 20 TO
make up these celebrations the hopes and
feelings that enter into their chosen walk in
life.
Nor should they forget those bonds that
unite them to all other classes and TO the
country at large The celebration in this
city on yesterday was marked by the
breadth OF its patriotic sympathies and by
its liberality of sentiment, and this was to
have been expected, for nowhere does labor
exercise the share Of power To which 1t is
entitled, more freely than IN Richmond; no
where are its relations with capital more
satisfactory, and nowhere has IT more
reason to be content with the position al
lotted to it in the general framework Of the
community. All of our citizens, irrespec-
tive of their situations in life or the pur-
suits which they follow, joined most heartily
in the spirit of tine occasion. and wished for
il the highest degree of distinction. May
every recurrence Of the day in the future
find the classes which were specially in
terested in its celebration still further ed
yanced in all those elements OF prosperity
with which they are now so greatly blessed.
