ond Place on the Ticket.
RrNcGo1n May 1 1891.


Editor Times:
The subject Of presidential timber seems to
be one Of very general discussion throughout
the country. All newspaperdom seems to be
taking hand in the matter, and whether
the candidates for the two places on the pres
idential ticket will be from New York or the
West is a frequent inquiry; whether the can
didate must advocate or oppose the free coin
rye OF silver j. still a question: but whether
we mus. have IN advocate Of tarih reform
admits II no question. for that is now aud
should he in 1894 the keynote OK the Demo.
cratic party. Tnrih reform is what we want and
what / think we are destined 10 have III the
near future While others are making sugges-
tons as to their choice for the places on the
ticket, deem il not wholly inappropriate that
Virginia should bring forth a candidate;
and who would doubt that all Virginia
in one solid phelanx would endorse tho move
if the name OF one Of her most loyal Sous,
Hon y. W. Mckinney. we're presented TO the
national convention for The vice-presidency.
lie has filed the gubernatorial chair so
admirably we'll: he is staunch Democrat,
strong on all points involving the partys in
terest snd rights on all questions OF the peo-
pie Governor Mckinney would make mag
nifcent vice-president.
