f. Lee, which will be packed and
shipped to Richmond, Va, in a few
days. Governor Mckinney has an
nounced that the unveiling ceremo-

day selected by the monument asso-
ciation-Thursday, May 20. The
Confederate States Army and Navy
Society in Maryland and the Fifth
Maryland Regiment will take part in
the ceremonies. which promise to be of
an unusuaIIyimpressivecharacter, and
will doubtless attract to Richmond
the largest crowd gathered there
since the close of the war. Virginia
and North Carolina will also be rep
resented by number of uniformed
regiments, whilst military companies
from number of the Southern cities
are expected to attend. The civic
part of.the procession will also be on

indications are that the hospita-

Party ORGANIZATION.

Never before in the history of the
Democratic party was one.half as
much Ievelheaded, careful, efficient
work being done for perfecting and
building up the party organization as
is going on at the present time
This is fact of great Importance,
which should be understood by Dem
ocrats everywhere. We speak from
knowledge when we say if the same
amount of effort had preceded the
election of 1888, which is now being
made in many States, VIC should have
elected our candidates in that year.
We do not propose at this time to
describe in detail the extent of this
work, but we do desire that every
member of the party shall feel the
encouragement that we feel, because
of the systematic and splendid meth
ods 10 educate and organize the vo-
ters OF the country that are being put
in operation in States that did not
cast their electoral votes for our tick
ct in 1888, as well as in the States
which the enemy had hoped to win
over in that campaign and in future
campaigns.
Educate! Organized These are
the watchwords of the Democracy to-
day. Education and organization
will carry the day in future cam
paigns just as certainly as the good
work now so well begun is continued
during the next two years and half,
and there is no doubt that it will be.
Even that Republican stronghold, the
United States Senate, may be ours
within four years of thorough effort
such as is being put forth in at least
half dozen States now wholly rep
resented by the dominant party.

Spirit of Jefferson. [volume] (Charles Town, Va. [W. Va.]) 1844-1948, 1890-04-01

The Democrats of New York and
Iowa are still jubilant over their re-
cent sweeping victories in the town
and municipals elections of Tuesday
the 4th inst. In the Empire State
the Democrats captured such Repub-
lican strongholds as Rochester, New
burg, Utica, Oswego, Kingston, Buff
falo, Whitehall, Dunkirk, Amsterdam
Port Jervis, and the counties of Ulster,
Oneida and Duchess, all of which
were carried by Harrison in 1885,
Rochester, which gave Harrison a
majority OF 1929, elected Demo
cratic mayor for the first time in
fourteen years. The Democratic
gains in Iowa were no less marked,
and yet the oHice-hoIding Republican
organ-grinders are felicitating their
party on the great satisfaction with
which the American people contem-
plate the first years record of Har-
rison's Administration Curious way,
this, of expressing satisfaction.
