The Accused and Their Accusers'

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
Icannot remain silent and hear the good
and always-relIable Democrats abused and
charged with packing county conven-
ton.
Mr.. Editor. who are the accused, and
who the accusers? The accused are men
who have done the work In the county Tor
the past fifteen years-men VINO, when
there was apparently no possible ohaaee
until success crowned their efforts. Can
any true Democrat. or will any true Demo-
crst, believe the charges made against these
true menl =,
Now for the accusers; they are all new
corners (doing business in town. don't
think moro than two Of them have lived
in the county over three years, and vet
they bob up serenely every time conven-
ton is held and want to represent the
farmers OF the county. Every one OF them
wanted to 60 to the Observation-Disclosures the
kick.
The county people (farmers) know who
they want. and they don't propose to
allow q few city people who have moved
out on the suburbs TO run the county.
As to who they wanted to 60 to the con-
vention-90 per cent OF them are Tor that
Democrat Of Democrats. David Bennett
! Hill, who is the greatest organizer THIS
| country has ever produced. Once In the
presidential chair, he will so organize and
install tho Democrats that the Republicans
will never again regain power.
| see and talk to more Henrlco farmers
| in one day than the kickers do In year,
and know what am talking about. The
great trouble with the Cleveland Mug
wumps is that there are not enough OF
them. Hence 20 much kicking.

ave feel very sure on one point" says the
Wilmington N. c. Messenger (DemocraD, that
Hill could not possibly carry New York If nomi-
mated hut would be Overwhelmingly defeated,
and that Cleveland could get much larger
vote ia that state than iiill could get ii may
DO wiser to take western man. but IL 10 almost
certain that Cleveland will be nominated, for the
people want him..
The above is the sort of thing from the
southern papers that we find on parade IN
tie Mugwump sheets. There Is a great
deal In the southern journals very hostile
TO Mr.. Cleveland, but 1t does not break out
ianorthern Democratic papers. The Rhode
Island election does not show that the
people are in frantic state Of Joy about
cleveland There was not sign OF the
ELUSIVE popularity the Mugwumps are so
pestiferous about, and IN which. we sup
pose from the noise they make. they
have taught themselves 10 believe. We
doubt whether the people are going TO do
ANYTHING prodigious III the May conven-
tion. There are. no election returns that
do not show Hill 10 be stronger man than
Cleveland before the people of New York
IL this is denied. let some one point to
figures that sustain the denial. The Mug
wumps are saving they will not vote for
any Democrat but Cleveland. and 1t Is pos
sible there may be Democrats who will not
vote for Mugwump; and there you are.

BRITISH PRESS COMMENT.
The italian Crisis-The Recent Itaio-
American Agreement.

rBy Anglo-American cable to the Dspatch.l
LONDON, April 1.-the Standard to-day
saws that the crisis in the Italian Cabinet
chat resulted in the resignation of the en-
tire Ministry was due TO q demand by the
Minister of Finance that the army be re-
duced from twelve to ten corps.
The Ddiy N6,os. in addition to declaring
that no sane being can doubt that the Of
fer of indemnity for the New Orleans
lynching made by the United States to
Italy was dictated solely by a sense Of
right, says that the dignifed observations
of the New York Herald, Tribune, and
Times might proftably be studied by some
organ of opinion on this side of the ocean.
The Nelrs paws tribute TO the states
manlike attitude of Mr.. Blaine. who. 1t
saws, voluntarily offered to make compen-
sation to Italy.
The Globe says the heirs Of the men
lynched are very lucky. According to the
non-diplomatic view, it Is not to be as
sumed that Mr.. Blaine intends to estab-
lish a precedent holding the Federal Gov
eminent answerable for the dsrelicts OF
every separate State. That would be car
rying the Federal principle degree
further than WAS ever thought of. even
when civil war was not considered too
high price to pay for Its supremacy.

NV York, April 16.-A good deal of
comment was caused to-day by state
ment authorized by III. &. Fahnstock and
Fred. IL. Happen, two members OF the
Richmond and West Point REORGANIZATION
Committee. in which 1t is said that the
committee has not had q meeting III two
weeks, and that the wording of the adver-
tisement of the committee is wrong IN ro-
gard TO the deposits of underlying securi-
ties. The advertisement says underly-
ing securities 20 a large amount have been
denosited under the plan of reorganiZa-
ton Messrs. Happen and Fahnstock say
they have investigated the matter and find
that the total deposits OF bonds OF the
EAST Tennessee, Richmond and Dsnville.
and Virginia Midland roads Mount to only
$4,000. This action by hesSrs. Fam
stooE and Happen is looked on as q POSI-
tive indication that the proposed plan iss a
failure, and a new plan is expected to be
put out by them at an early day.

WASHINGTON. d. c., April 16.-The Noyes
"a. Rockwell election contest has now dis.
placed almost eli other topics OF general
interest in the House OF Representatives.
Mr.. Rockwell is working earnestly ior
himself and has the assistance OF con-
siderable number OF his party sssociates.

bers OF the Elections Commttee are a.
any question that Mr.. Rockwell has gained
strength during the last week. ana tncre
are q number OF Democratic members VINO
express the opinion that ne Will retain ms

that q considerable number OF democrats
would refrain from voting ana Wouiu ~
this way break quorum and prevent the
unseating Of Mr.. Rockwell; but NUMBER
of Democrats who will support MI. hock.
we'll have discountenanced any movement
of this sort. All the Indications point 70
an interesting fight when the case Is tahen
up.
Chairman O'Ferrall said to-day that he
had given notice of his intention to call
up the case on Tuesday, and that ne ef-
pected to do so whether the naval Dill II
out of the way or not.
Mr.. O'Ferrall rather expects that the
question of consideration Will DC raised
against the motion, and that IL Will % a,-
tagonized with an appropriation bill. THIS
move. indirectly. would mako an issue
against the report OF the majority OF the
Elections COMMITTEES. The members OF
the Elections Committee will very gene.
rally mako speeches on the case, and Mr.
Lockwood. OF New York, one Of the COM
mittee, speaking for Noyes, will meet Mr..
Fellows. OF New York, VINO will support
Mr.. Rockwell. One rather signincant IN;
dicatlon OF the gain made by Mr.; Rockwell
is the fact that nearly all the Democrats
who have thus far paired on the case have
paired on the side Of Rockwell.
Mr.. Cobb. of Alabama, who made the
minority report. said late this afternoon
that so far as he was aware the minority
would not attempt to prevent consldera-
ton. IAN we ask is fair hearing and q
