Captain Griffin Welcomed.

Capt. Wingfield Griffin has received a
letter from Colonel Milton, in which he
welcomes him to the Second Virginia
Regiment, and tells him to make reoui-
sition for blouses, fatigue caps, KNAPP
sacks, leggings, canteens, cross rifles,
etc. Captain Griffin is endeavoring to
organize fife and drum corps, and in

short time. 1t has been reported, with
some reasonable foundation. that those
volunteer companies who go from Vir-
GINA to the Worlds Fair will be fur
nished free transportation and all ex-
penses paid for ten days, so that the
next twslve months ought to see reg
ular boom in volunteer companies.

ATTEMPTED TO ESCAPE.
Boy Thieves Try to Cut a Hole In tho Jail
Wall.

Doy IhleVeS 1rS TO Cut a Hole In tho Jail
Wall.
Between l and o'clock Tuesday
morning Jailer fleming was awakened
by strange noises in the Jail, and after
putting on his clothes and visiting the
lower cells he quietly crept to tho door
OF one of the upper cells, whore the
three little chicken thieves wero kept,
and peeping through crack saw that
they were endeavoring to secure their
liberty. BY the light of burning rags
they were picking away the mortar and
bricks just under tho window, and al
ready had made large hole in the wall.
He moved, and they hearing him, all
three crept under the cover on their
pallet and pretended to be fast asleep.
Unlocking tn" doors he and his as
sistant went in and found that the bows
were using an old pewter spoon to pick
away the mortar, and in another half
hour would have had enough bricks re-
moved to have gotten clear away.
When questioned the boys pretended to
know nothing about the Job. They
were then taken down stairs into the
adjoining cell to that formerly occupied
by Watkins.
Recently committee was appointed
to examine tho Jail. The report which
has just been sent in recommends the
building of steel cages in the rooms
upstairs, which would then mako the
jail burglar-proof. AS it is now, any
one can get away from tho upper cells.

WEDNESDAY. :. MARCH 16. 1892
Cleveland and Hill.

We said few days ago that though the
invitations to Messrs. CLEVELAND and HILL
TO declare their positions relative to the
silver question might be numerous, the
responses would be few and far between.
Well, in our issue OF yesterday there was a
letter from Mr.. CLEVELAND and there were
several speeches of Mr.. HiIL's. but no
clear avowal of hostility TO or friendship
for the free coinage of silver.
Mr.. CLrvEIAsD's letter is indeed oracu-
lar. II is so worded as 70 evoke no
dissenting comment from anybody.
All OF MS are opposed to personal strife
and active assertion" On the part OF sspi-
rants 10 the presidency. All of us agree
that that Office is re-eminently the peo-
pies Office" All of us consider it the duty
of good citizens to participate effectively
in political affairs. All OF us agree that
the people should be heard in the choice
Of their party candidates" All OF us hold
that 1.-THE complete supremacy of Demo-
cratic principles means increased national
prosperity" These general declarations
are therefore indisputable aud harmless.
but surely they must prove very unsatis-
factory 10 General +. s. BRAGG, the gen
tleman who called them out. as well as to
all that large class of persons who, III the
innocence OF their hearts, have sup
posed that Mr.. CLEVELAND was not
politician" enough to be prudent.
nor polite enough to allow himself
70 be governed by the scriptural declara-
ton that he who keepeth his mouth and
his tongue keepeth his soul from trouble.
Mind, we do not censure Mr. CLEVELAND
for his reticence. He is prudent politi-
clan. That is all.
But Mr.. HILL was also silent on the sill
yer question? Yes; and properly so. But
he made one declaration which some per-
sons will say is susceptible of an interpre-
tation that places him on the peoples side
on the silver question. We quote his words
"Our national convention will soon meet ana
frame the issues Of our party. There will be no
divisions upon any question. All good Demo-
Gratis will ncquiesce in whatever choice may DO
made, in whatever platform the wise and able
men Of our party may SEQ fiji to adopt Zap
plause,l
That language. nevertheless, must not
~
free coinage. 1t probably means only that,
as we have so often explained. the Chicago
convention will side-track the silver ques-
ton and so leave no room nor occasion for
divisions upon any question. In that event
oil good Democrats will, of course. "ac-
uuiesce in whatever platform the wise and
able men of our party may see fit to
ndopt." But it is possible that Mr.. Hill
meant to say he would stand upon any
silver platform the Chicago convention
might construct.
Finally, Messrs HILL and CLEVELAND ore
both New Workers. and both unavoidably
influenced by their environment. They
are also patriotically willing to serve the
people as President of the United States.
Let us not suppose that they are diff
ferent from other men in beng naturally
cautious as TO what they say under these
circumstances.

No Mixed Primary.

The action Of the City Democratic Com
mittee last night IN adIourning when
disposition was shown TO reopen the mix
ed primary election question was sienil-
cant of its purpose to adhere to its deter
mination Of q week ago.
That determination was. in effect, that
IL would be time enough to talk about
electing delegates 10 the State convention
after that convention had been called-in
other words, that 1t is unwise to elect our
delegates to the State convention at the
municipal primary of April 9Th. As for
1.-THE one-man plan" that has been aban-
doned by almost all of its friends. and by
its opponents is regarded as dead if not
buried.
The committee is pursuing safe and
sacacious course. II is right IN holding
that the municipal primary should be con-
fined exclusively to its original purpose.
When il 10 over we may and doubtless will
have another primary in which national
politics may have sole and undisputed
play and sway.
The members Of the committee who OPP
nose a mixed primary are of the opinion
that they had two-thirds majority with
them last night

A City Electric-Light Plant

IN
No harm has been done by the reference
by the Board of Aldermen Of the GLOVER
resolution to the Committees on Finance
and Electric Light.
The more diligently the subject is inyes-
ticated the more certainly II will grow IN
favor.
While the city has entered into two
years contract with the Richmond Power
and Electric-Lisht Company, and there
fore cannot go into the manufacture Oh
electricity for street-Eghting until tina;
time has elapsed. year or two will be re-
quired by us 10 secure plan for plant
and put il into successful operation. 80.
while we can we'll afford to be deliberate
we can i'll afford to submit to useless de-
lays.
Let the subject be thoroughly investl-
gated. This can be done, If we are in
earnest. in the course of ten days or two
weeks. for all the information that we can
get is at hand, having been accumulated
by some Of the members of the CITY Coun-
ell who have given this matter long and
patient study.
We expect this reference to the two
committees to result in proof that city
electric-light plant is necessary as an al
junct to the gas-works; that it will pay
the city handsome income upon its In
vestment, and that at the cost OF the
present street electric-lights we can fur
nish many more and much better lights
Numerous neighborhoods are yet unlignt-
ed. and this plan holds out to them the
certain prospect that their interests Will
be looked after and provided for.
The committees should make the most
searching inquiry possible, but it should
do it with reasonable promptness.
