The Neglect of Shockoe Cemetery.
RICHMOND, Va, July 10, 1891.
To the Editor of he Dispatch

To the Editor Of he Dispatch:
VIII you kindly inform me through the
columns of your most valued paper WHY
it is tat Shockoe cemetery is SO
fearfully neglected? Ii is a shame for a
city the size of Richmond to allow this
burial-place Gin which rest the remains OF
many Of her oldest aud most houored citi-
zensl to go down as it has. Surely, since
they have such rigid rules Of abundance, the
city could afford 10 appropriate a suffi-
cient amount 10 employ more bands TO
keep the roadways especially the man
onel III proper condition and not allow
them to be made almost impossible by
the stones and trash thrown into them,
and the weeds and shrubbery to run wild
(parucularly in the sections whore there Is
no one to look after them, the owners
having all died out or gone away.
Ii is almost heart-rending to pass through
this cemetery and see the lastresting-place
OF our beloved ones in such dilapidated
condition. Can or toti nothing be done 10
improve this state OF affairs!
Respectfully yours. SECTION"

Dir. Cleveland and the Democratic Party.
IGordonsyille Sun-IIerald.l

[Gordonsyille Sun-Herald.l
The INCONSISTENCY of popular favor was
never more strlkingly exemplifed than III
the case of Mr.. Cleveland. One year ago
nine Democrats out of ten would. II ques-
toned, have quickly and emphatically de-
clared themselves in favor of his renomlna-
ton for the presidency. Even as late as last
November the sweeping Democratic VIC
tory was hailed as q personal triumph for
MI. Cleveland, and II was freely stated and
believed that the question of his renomi-
nation had been finally settled III the
affirmative. In one short half year. how
ever. all this has been changed, and we
now find multitudes who have hitherto
been his staunchest friends openly opposed
to his denomination, while many Others
confess to grave fears for Democratic sue
cess should he again be made the partys
candidate.
This change in public sentiment has
been brought about by the introduction of
what ia practically new issue in politics,
and one which has evidently come to stay.
We refer of course 10 the silver question.
The Democratic voters have not turned
AGAINST Mr.. Cleveland because they have
given up the fight for tariff reform. On
the contrary, they are daily becoming bet
ter acquainted with the inquiries OF tne
so.called protective tariff, and more ardent
ly in favor of its reduction to revenue
s Das,s; s"d fisSt made BY III. Cleve-
laid looking to the levelling of this
tar'T Chinese wall. They do not
onnose Mr.. Cleveland because they repu-
diate his Administration. On the. con-
trarv. the cleanness and manliness OF that
Naturalization IL to them a source of deep
arat,6csiion and pride. But Mr.. Cleye-
land Is opposed by his comrades OF the
Democratic party because he has declared
war against the free coinage OF silver-a
course which they believe to be hurtiuI ~
their own interests and 70 the country ~
