CLEVELAND VIRGINIA'S CHOICE.

About ten days ago circular letter
was sent from the Times office to Its
correspondents in every county III the
State, requesting them to interview
three or four representative Democrats
in their respective localities as to their
choice for the Presidential nominee OF
the Democraticic party in 1899. Up
to this time nearly half the State has
been heard from, and 10 doubt other
replies will Je received for some days
yet. Enough has been learned, how
ever, to show the drift Of public sentl-
ment. and from the forty or more
responses published this morning, the
following conclusions are plain:
First, that Mr.. Cleveland is the I'M
doubted choice Of the Virginia De-
mocracv. He has a clear majority
against the whole field, and over 100
per cent. majority over his mostss,,for-
midable opponent, Governor Hill.
The general feeling is that, taking
everything into consideration, Mr..
| Cleveland is the strongest, best and
most available candidate the Demo
Gratis of the United States can select
for the next standard bearer.
Second, that while Mr.. Cleveland S
letter in opposition to the free and I'M
| limited coinage of silver has hurt him
to some extent, and that but for that
he would have been the almost unanl-
nous choice of the Virginia Democ-
racy, he is still everywhere. admired
for his honesty, and for his outspoken
way Of expressing his convictions OF
right, regardless of any political con-
sequence to himself.
Third, that the general conviction
is that before the campaign OF 1892,
the silver question will have largely
solued itself, and that the great issue
to be fought and decided in that con-
test will be that of protection for
monopoly against tariff reform TOR the
people.
Fourth, that irrespective of all per
sonal preferences, the Virginia De
mocracy will support the Democratic
party and the Democratic nominee,
no matter who may be selected to bear
the Democratic banner in 90.
These are the conclusions to be
reached from the verdict of representa-
tive Democrats throughout Virginia
as foreshadowed by the interviews
published in the Times to-day. All
are given gust as they were received,
and our own people, and the Democ-
racy of the Union as well, can see for
| themselves therefrom the tendency OF
public opinion in this old Common
wealth.

| marked by all who knew him and shed
its holy influence around him everywhere,
winning souls for the cause he so faith
fully served.
