TIE NEW YORK Sun says:

"Tbe South, with the exception OF VIZ
pjnia and West Virginia. will vote LOT any
democrat upon any platform. Virginia anu
West Virginia are liable to fall aWey lrom
the democracy simply because they are ir
oliped toward policy of protection"
Virginia is ss safely democratic as Texas
or snv other southern State, and is no more
inclined to protection. 1t ia true that
democratic convention of the State several
wears ago did put a protection plank IN its
nlstfJrm. but it was done In the gray OF the
morning, when half the delegates were asleep
or inattentive, and nobody would father It,
But such bad job has never been attempt
ed since. All of Vlreinia'sIdemocratic con-
eressmen voted for the Mills bill, and the
largest democratic mejorities are given IN
the districts where the lowest tariff is
preached. The republican platform at last
falls election contained protective planS'
and protection was preached not Only by
home. but by imported speakers, and the re-
sult was democratic msioriiy of forty
thousand. Oh, not Virginia will vote Tor
anv candidate the national democratic con-
yention may nominate; and reliable 'n'or-
nation from West Virginia. and the detec-
tion and exposure of the enormous frauds
committed there by the republicans at last
falls election, induce the belief that 1t will
be the same way there also. Ii MIR. Cleve-
land be the democratic nominee for the
