facturers; the other, to pass what was called
the Force Bill, by which the counting of
the vote in the Southern States would he
put i'll the hands of Republican Federal an
pointees. and. thus the power the party
be perpetuatcd beyond dagger of defeat.
The first pact was MAGE soo. The second
then stood paramount. Ttlwas discussed
in all parts of the colsats,- 5 yigorousl; "a
if on the eve of Presidential election. 1t
was made a party measure by caucus.
Every force that could be brought to bear
on Republican Senators to keep them in
line, was brought into use. Nomore strain
ed party situation could exist Oh the eve of
the Presidential election in 1892 than ex-
listed with the Republican Sen ators last
winter on that bill. In fact the two parties
ON this question acre then stripped and
fighting the fight of 1892. In the face of it
all, hesilver Senators-or enough of them
for the purpose-left their party on that
question, made pact with the Democrats
and passed the free coinage bill. On this
record no reasonable doubt can exist that
the free coinage bill will pass in the Senate
next winter, having more friends after the
4th of next March in that body than it
had last winter. Each silver State Senat OIL
was fighting for himself-a larger thing
to him than the Republican party, and
something that will appear equally as
large next winter. So certain is the result
in the Senate, that Mr.. Stewart of Nevada.
the leading silver Senator, has already pre- !
dicted it. So much for the Senate. OF
the House we suppose there is not a doubt,
even in the mind of the Dispatch sLf. Mr..
Harrison, who is q candidate for re-nomi- |
nation, throws away the delegations from
the silver States by aveto, then he will dis
appoint all the expectations he has raised
by his tourist speeches therein this sum-
mer. At all events we shall not, as our
contemporary does Ito prove MI. Cleveland
nnavailable) argue against the whole past, |
present and future to prove that he will
veto it. We are willing to leave the future
to the future and not bar off the foremost
living American Democrat from the con-
vention of 1892, by suggestions made in
1891.
AS we said before we do not think MI.
Cleveland is favorite of the Dispatch
for the nomination, in which we think it is
very far from representing the Democrats
of Virginia.

THE BOOM OVER 2

A Richmond contemporary says the 'sbOOm
is OVER" though cit is only question OF
time when the industrial activity will
start up again and when the boom will be
greater than before.'' We cannot speak so
definitely for other sections as for our own,
nor for whole section so definitely as We
can for our own city. In Staunton the boom
Is far from over. On the Staunton Devel-
opment Companys land, 'sEast Staunton. ~
great factory buildings costing quarter
of million dollars are being erected. and
one OF them, the Bodley Wagon Works, in
which alone there is $4,000 worth of lum-
ber, is just being finished, and the cars
with its machinery are standing before it
on it's belt line railroad. In Staunton.
proper, there is a boom in building going
on such as was never known before. Any
house you start is rented almost before the
contract for building is signed. and new
residence is sold before the paint is dry.
Every man that can work and will work
has work in Staunton to-day. Stiaunton
takes the right idea of boom; she makes
it solid for all time. Her boom was to
build city, not to sell building lots, and
she is building a new manufacturing city
just as fast as brick. hammer and saw can do
it. lot one of the great manufactures that
have been brought here is an experiment:
all had an old trade, long experience, and
well established markets before they came
here; and they bring their trade with them.
What did the boomers at points where
manufactures are not heing erected, expect
anyhow? Did they think Virginia was to
be built up swapping lots? Did they ea-
pect that 'laying out' and ''plattingna
corn-feld would last forever? If SO they
had best Eeeast the horoscope of their in
FAINT towns and in the new horizon let them
follow Staunton's example and make man.
ufactNTes the regnant star. The 'sboom7'
is n over except for localities that are
not making their property valuable by the
erection of factories. The money market
is tlgh5 throughout the land, and that is
just Wdffe many q man is going to make a
fortune. If man had $1,000 to salt down
in some o. The 5000 lots Tow selling around
these big factories being erected in Staun-
tol, he would get $4,000 for it aftel the
unprecedented wheat and fruit crop of
America is marketed in Europe next Sep
TENDER and money is plentiful. The COM
ing Fall months will see those Virginia
towns that have spent the Winter and
Summer erecting factories, as Staunton
has, teeming with money.

''The VINDICATOR holds that the Republi-
can Senate will next winter pass the free
coinage bill. I'VE are curious to know its
reasons for this conviction Let us look into
the matter. When Congress next meets. the
two parties will be stripping for the fight of
1892. The Democrats will be divided upon
one questionable silver question. If they
can get this question out of their way. they
will be able to elect Cleveland or any other
Democratic nominee fer President of the
United States. But they can get this question
out OF the way only by the assistance of the
Republican Senate. Therefore our Staunton
contemporary concludes that the Republicans
will next winter pass the free-coinage bill and
thus aid the Democrats in electing Mr.. Cleve-
land 1t is wise to be taught by your enemy.
says the old adage But we have never learn
ed from books, OF experience, OF the teachings
of friends that it is safe to assume that your
adversary will do the only thing which it is
necessary for him to do in order to insure
your success. Does our Staunton contempo-
rary really expect the Republican Senate to
provide for the nomination and reelection of
Mr.. Cleveland? Hardly, and yet that seems
to us to be in effect just what that paper SAYS.
Either the Republicans will render Mr.. Cleve-
lands nomination possible, OF he will not be
nominated. ''-Ric1msond Dispatch.
Our reasons are easy to give, especially
as they are matter of record and not
subjected to the cumbrance of hypothetical
conditions. When the last congress assem-
bled there were two great objects of the
Republican party. One, the passage of a
high tariff bill to repay the campaign fund
