COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 24.-GrOwing out
of any Rejecting glory upon our Nine
teenth century civilization is the great
importance given to the education of the
physical and mental unfortunates of the
human race.
Literally almost the blind see and the
deaf hear, and now the child of feeble
intellect, the most unfortunate of all, is
beginning to understand and know. It
is wonderful what has been and is being
done with the imbecile. From helpless,
dependent member of society, our great
state institutions are transforming him
into self supporting individual and
fitting him in many instances to fill at
least humble sphere in life.

One of the soundest Democratic journals
in Virginia is the Clarke Courier published
in one of the soundest Democratic counties
in the State. On the strength of its unwa-
vering record. and as the mouth-uece OF
local Democracy which has always renamed
true and loyal to the principles OF the party,
it's politcal utterances are emitted to unusual
weight in the estimat on of the Democrats of
Virginia. In its last issue it expresses itself
in the following earnest and torcble manner
as to the EFFORT to drum out of the party those
who are protesting against the HUI conVen-
ton. and with equal earnestness and vlgor 1t
condemns. as will be seen, those who
would seek TO depreciate the great services Of
Mr.. Cleveland in behalf of this section at the
time when he occupied the presidency.
The supporters of Mr.. Hill, remarks the
Courier, among whom are generally TO be
found those who preferred 10 sail under the
absurd superscriptiOn of anything to beat
Grant to fighting for tariff reform and lower
taxation, are calling loudly for MIR. Cleveland
to step in and put stop to the proceedings
of the New York professors. Mr.. Cleye-
land did not instigate this movement
and is not responsible for 1t any
more than Mr. Hill is responsible for
the fact that all who voted for HIM for
Governor IN 1883 did not vote for Mr. Cleve-
land for President When these protesters
bolt Democratic nominees 1t will be time TO
call them boilers. If they are read out Of the
party now. it is perfectly evident that New
York is lost to the Democracy just about the
time that party thought it had secured the
State. The application Of more sugar and
less vinegar will be better for all concerned.
The puerIle filings made at MIR. Cleveland
! by Democrats IN the South who know that
that section Of our country never experienced
equality under our Government until ne sat
in the presidential chair are disgusting.
/ point is endeavored to be made against him
because Virginia gave him but small ma
iority in 1888. 1t would be well to couple
with that statement the fact that at that cleo
ton Virginia elected fewer Democratic con-
gressmen than she done at any time since the
war closed. and if Cleveland seemed 70 be I'M
popular then, so were Virginia Democrats.
The love of the people who prefer principle
to Office for Mr.. Cleveland will not abate be-
cause he is unjustly criticised
These, we have every reason TO believe, are
the sentiments of all those Southerners who
look at the political course OF Mr.. Cleveland
in spirit of perfect justice and impartiality.
Few Americans in the history IF the last quar-
| ter of century are as fully entitled 10 the
grateful consideration of the Southern peo-
pie. 1t is not surprising to find that he IS
held in this section in the highest respect and
honor by the people az large who have no
axes 10 grind or favOrs to ask, men who
estimate tho ex-President by what he has done
and by what no is still capable of doing.

THE TaKITF THE noUsr.

The Democratic party IS to DO congratua-
ted. We are at last moving up to solid
ground. Legislation has been brought for
ward in the House which aims at limiting the
tariff 10 raising the revenue necessary for
Government. and at repeating the acts Of Con-
eress that make the citizen pay two and
three prices for the articles of every day life
that pampered monopolists Of the Carnegie
order may enjoy their millions of annual
revenue. wrung by wicked legislation out
of the toiling masses. IL the Democratic
party will only move forward on this line
looking neither TO the right nor TO the LEFT,
its control of the Government Is assured. Ii
Il is goiug to tie on to itself absurd PROPOSE
tons for making seventy cents do the work
of one hundred cents. then il IS not going to
come into control of this Government, and
there are many sensible we'll wishers to it who
will shed no tears over its defeat.
When Mr. Cleveland boldly threw down
the gauntlet to protected monopolists. he in
sured his own defeat because there was not
time before the election for full discussion 10
inform the people that the line drawn was
one between their everyday rights OF life on
one side. and privileges TO protected monopo-
lists on the other Full discussion has now
been had. and the people have come per-
fectly well to understand the whole
matter With this single issue before
them they are prepared TO rise
in their might, and destroy the
last vestge of legislation that drags hard
earned money from their pockets to add it to
the accumulated millions of Mr.. Andrew Car
negie and such. With the man for their candi-
date who has made the issue, aud in whose in
,egrity and courage they confde. they believe
they will carry the Democratic banner in
triumph over the field. Why are not all Dem.
ocrats wise enough to see and appreciate the
situation. Our issue is tariff reform; our can
didste is the man who made the issue. With
hun we can win: without him all is uncertain.

Permit "A subscriber 10 commend your sensi-
bic editorials on the Behring sea controversy.
Patriotism has become SO sickly sentimental
that one IS almost afraid 10 take issue with the
Government on any stand, however prepos-
ferrous that 1t may assume towards foreign
powers
Now nothing can be more indeiensible or
even preposterOus than our claim OF exclusive
jurisdiction over a sea wider than half the DIS
lance between New ork and Great Britain.

TO say 10 our Government. Hold. you are
going too fast you are wrong ON the con-
trary they seem bound 10 act on tho senti-
mental but vicious principle. Ny country,

Until people learn 10 say and TO feel too

country TO the death" We are IN constant
danger of being plunged into difficulties
from which we can escape only at great loss,

=. .s not our intention TO commit HE
....terday 10 Mr.. Peasants plan for a
-. % select delegates TO the State con
'..n,,on that will choose yirginia's representa-
| 80 =, the National Democratic convention.
W. understood the vote in tho committee to
Ia equivalent to a declaration that the COM
mittee was opposed to selecting kichmonds
| delegates TO the convention by primary
election. nnd not simply that it was opposed
10 the plan Of primary offered by Mr.. Pleas
anita All that we said was addressed solely
to the proposition that our delegates ought to
be chosen by some plan of primary election
and other than by ward meetings. Mr.. Pleas
ants plan may be the best or the plan pur-
sued in 1850 may be the best. but some plan
should be adopted
The plan adopted in 1880 gave entire sats-
faction, and we have never heard single
criticism upon it. Under that plan whoever
wished to be n delegate to the state ooh'en-
ton offered himself as a candidate Tor the
place, just "a though it had been an election
of members Of the Common Counch.
Those who received the highest NUMBER OF
votes we're declared elected TO the state con-
vention. They then went into district con-
vention. elected the two persons preferred
by them ss the representatives OF TINS con-
eressona district in the national convention
and recommended these two to the state con-
vention, which. as matter OF course de-
clared them the representatives OF this dis
trict in the national convention.
When the people voted in the primary for
candidates to the State convention. they
asked the candidates. as matter OF course.
whom they were in favor OF having nominated
"a President. and they voted for those who
would send delegates TO the national cOnven-
ton favorable to their own choice for Presi
dent. In this way the true voice Of Rich
mond was declared and made known. II this
plan is again adopted, the result will show
whether this city wishes Mr.. Hill to DO noml-
mated or Nj. Cleveland TO be nominated or
neither TO he nominated. for there will Ger
tainly be three tickets voted for. and we pre-.
dict that the Cleveland ticket will receive az
many votes as both the others together or
more.
Let us have primary. and if there IS any
Juggling about it there is going TO be trouble.
all OF which will be laid at Mr.. Hills door
We want no New York methods in Richmond.

SrRoNG efforts are being made to work up
a Hill sentiment among the free silver men
of the South. II will be very hard to do this
when it is remembered that the New York
convention which Endorsed 5lr. Hill also in
dorsed the anti-free silver plank of the Sara.o-
"a platform. If Senator Hill places himself
upon that platform. then the free silver
men Of the country cannot support him,
while if he repudiates that platform his New
York friends will have to desert him. Ii looks
very much as if Senator Hill. in trying to
stand on both the silver and anti-silyer
planks at the same time, will fall between the
two.

r-,,os. .ho pemocratc majority in the

they will find that they have ia'aliy enO"'-

This would mean ut once the alienation
from the party of all Eastern Democrats. wno
believe that there can lie no true bimetahsui
unless the dollar Of silver is worth intrInsi-
cally is much as that Of gold, and that the
free and unregulated coinage of silver
would result in single monetary
standard OF cheap silver This. in turn,
would mean that no Eastern man could DO
the nominee of the party, and not only that
Western man would have to be chosen.
but that the West and South alone would

This. Of C urse. would mean defeat. and the
Democratic majority in Congress. unless they

other Republican administration on the coun-
try for another four years, had far better de-
fer action on free silver coinage, at least until
after the next Democratic convention can

Democracy has no secrets Oaths are not

Its'principles are embodied in the Constitution
