Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1892-05-06
Not Boilers. But Revolutionists.

We call the attention of all sound Demo
cra.s-nll Democrats true to the party or
ganization- to the confession OF the Times
that the CLEVELAND faction in New York
is made up Of revolutionists. We quote
our neighbors own words:
1.-The DISPATCH INDUCES Itself in quite sue
cession Of shrieks anent lie text that the ma
tionai convention must give no sort OF recogn-
ton 20 those whom IL designates rs the New YORK
sBolters.' Now, 'bolter' pure ana simple
ends no moro recognition with the Itmcs than
with the DISPATCH, yet the 7 ms endorses and
insists on the right OF revolution In
party government as well as in civil gov
eminent Tho right Of revolution" Ia
at the foundation Of all government
whatever. Whenever government OF any
sort abuses its powers ana peryerts them TO the
oppression instead Of 20 the care and nurture oil
the governed, the risht OF revolution and
overthrow Of government arises. and will always
be exercised by the governed. The notable
events OF history have all been achieved by
sresolutions' in government Thus we secured
our Independence OF Great Britain. Thus the
English drove the S:uafts from their throne.
Thus the French started the movement which
overthrow the feudal system in oil Europe a..
"Tha line between tho 'bolicr and the 'revo-
,u.ionist + one very dificult - draw, and az In
civil government the 'rcvolutOrist' ia always
denominatcd first 'rebol.' in party govern
ment his first designation is always 'boiter.'
But when the boiler has shown that tho evils
OF his party government are intoicrlbio and that
the great body OF his party thinks of L as ho
does, he ceases 20 be 'bolier' and becomes n
good party man, exercising the God-giyen right
OF revolution
So the CLEVELAND boilers in New York
are revolutlonists. This is the admission
of the leading CLEVELAND organ III Viz
ginia. The Chicago convention must adj
nit the delegates sent by the Syracuse
convention because they are Revolution
lists, not Boilers; and the delegates sent 10
Chicago by the regular Democratic organi-
cation in New York must be left out be-
cause they behaved so badly that the Revo
lutionists could put up with them no
longerl
But our neichbor comedies that the
Revolutionists must have a good reason
Tor engaging in revolution. He says;
"When the bolter has shown that the evils Of
his party government are intolerabie and that
The great body Of his party thinks of Il as he does
he ceases 10 be bolter and becomes good
party man, exercising the God-giyen right OF
revolution"
We thank the Times for Its admission,
for unless the great body of the New York
Democrats think as the Boilers do in re-
gard to the matter. the GOd-given right OF
revolution cannot be appealed to. On
this point we present as conclusive the
figures of the Lynchburs Ne,rs. That
paper says:
"Ihe enrolment for tho May convention Of the
Cleveland boilers in New York ended Saturday
evening, April 3Oth, and William K. Grace, the
arch-cOnspiratOr, announces that they have
10000 Democrats on the list. The canyasshas
been conducted with the utmost system and
nbii.y, aud. according 10 the New York Herald,
has been backed mp 10y an unlimited fund, con-
tributed by Grace, Fair hid, and other wealthy
men who have made IL a point for the last eight
years 20 create all the mischief possible
IN the Democratic party. Canvassers wers
hired who trsmped from house 20 house in
eYery city and county in the State where
a Cleveland Democrat could be found. Every
mnlcontent was nsted-eyery friend Of Glove
land and every enemy Of Hili-and the result is,
after rsking the Empire State. that 10000

ne William X. Grace and his regiment of ex-
Federal ofIice-holders.
"But accepting this count as literally correct,
what does il amount TO? Let US see: When
Hill was last candidate for Governor Of New
York be- pOued 10S,45 votes in New York city
alone. or !S.5. more roies in that one city than
the Cleveland ksekers hass secured IN the entire

"In the State, Hil for Governor received
650.464 votes, the greatest vote ever cast for
any candidate for Office in New York, and
