cratic candidate in 1892. He has taken oc-
caslon 10 say that our Democratic friends
IN the United States Senate and the
farmers throughout the country don't
know what they are talking about when
they demand free coinage of silver and
whether this be true or not neither our
Irlends In the United States Senate and
other leaders OF the party mot few nor
the farmers of the country are willing 10
admit that Mr.. Cleveland is bigger than
ms party and give up their convictions on
great national questions in order 10 take
him as their candidate in 1892. No. the
agricultural people are awake TO their in
terests, and as they are going to take
lively interest in affairs in 1892 Mr.. Cleye-
land Is not the man to be nominated by
the Democrats.
We should have a candidate for the
presidency in thorough sympathy with the
great BODY of the people instead of making
our selection to suit only small locality
and a limited class Of yoters-in other
words, the money kings have controlled
such things long enough. Let the people
be heard from. and the Democrats will
find candidate IN 1892 who viii win"
FOR CLEVELAND.
Hon. Robert Catlett, of Rockbridge Tex
member of the House from Charlotte
county,: l have been On admirer of Mr..
Cleveland since his entrance upon public
life, and | have approved his govern
mental and economic policy, and he is my
preference. j have not considered his
availability as candidate in 1892. trust
popular sentiment may accord with his
position. He Is, in my judgment, the lead
ing statesman of America to-day"
A. R. vENABLR, JR.
"Who will be the Democratic candidate
for President In 1922" said the DISPATCH
man to Major Yenable.
The man has not yet been named who
will receive the vote of the farmers. Mr..
Cleveland's policy, like Mr.. Harrison's, has
been in the interest of Wall street, with
tendency to increase the value of money
and decrease the value of property. The
effort of the politicians and newspapers 60
force MIR. Cleveland upon the Democratic
party as its nominee means defeat, because
the farmers of the country, in my opinion,
will not support him. l do not mean to.
say that the farmers of the South would
not vote for the Democratic nominee, but
what do mean 20 say Is that to receive
their support they must nominate a man
whose financial policy means an increase
of the volume of currency. MIR. Cleveland,
in nv opinion, could not carry Virginia.
The Alliance of Virginia is composed of the
white men, and we mean TO see that the
Democratic party of Virginia complies
with its heretofore violated pledges to the
people"
"What doyou think of the third party?"
"The Cincinnati convention does not
represent the Farmers Alliance. 1t con-
sisted of the people in the North and West
who claimed to be reformers of both par
ties. We in Virginia do not desire to have
anything to do with the third party. But
in the presidential election the failure of
the Democratic party TO nominate man
in sympathy with the demands of the AL
lance may compel the A lliance to support
a third candidate"
BARBOUR AND DANIEL.
The DISPATCH correspondent was told by
a number of leading politicians and promi-
nent newspaper people that both Senators
Daniel and Barbour aro very doubtful OF
the expediency of nominating Mr. Cleve-
land, and that they had both talked freely
with personal friends in reference thereto.
MAJOR BAKER p. LEE, OF HAMPTON.
I have no hestanoy in replying frankly
TO your interesting inquiry considering,
without prediction or prejudice, all the
circumstances of the situation as they pre-
sent themselves at this time, the wise
course leading to almost certain success
on the part OF the Democratic party as l
interpret the signs and measure the sur
rouudings is too plainly prescribed to be
mistaken. The main strength of the party
is in the South. The South is earnestly,
ardently in favor of the free coinage
of silver, in favor OF liberal ex-
mansion Of the currency Of the coun-
frv. in favor of policies OF progress,
material development, national harmony
and home rule for the State IN state al;
fairs. The agriculturists OF the south hoio
a controlling power in southern politics.
Partisanshlp among the southern people
is not 80 fierce as it has been. Among the
great bulk and body Of the people OF the
South there il more reflection upon eco
homie matters involved in national poll
tics than there has ever been since
the period Immediately preceding the
kindlin0 of the first nres OF hoo-
iitionism. These are good reasons, l
think, for saying the sense OF the south
as to the next nomination by the Demo;
cratic party for the presidency should
I've carefully ascertalned and most respect
fnIiv regarded before the choice OF the
convention shall be declared. The west,
too. must be accounted big factor IN the
Calculation of forces. Well, as l under
Sand n. the wants Of the South are the
wants of the West also, and there Is no
thing TO prevent the two from walking
sTrnlin-arm. But there is the great State
of New York, they say, which must be as
rred TO the Democratic candidate,
and that the nominee must be
New York man. / raise no. question
as 10 the availability of New York man,
bnt / do not concur in the not uncommon
estimate of the Importance attaching 10
The nomination because he Is from any
state. i believe the Democrats OF Virginia
S~ould give as large vote 70 candidate
from Connecticut or Rhode Island as they
wonld 10 a nominee from their own STATE,
and claim no more loyalty to party tor
onS neople than am willing 70 concede 70
and ready to expect from the democrats .a
~ The other States. The issues ana the
snirit of the canvass will be the deterniSS
nine factors in the fight, and the spirit OF
The canvass will depend more upon the
