Dr. Depew has been on a visit TO the two
yirginias. Only few days ago he passed
over the line of the Chesapeake and Ohio
from Huntington 10 Charlottesville and from
thence to Washington. and his impressions of
the country, if any inference IS to be drawn
from an interview with him which appears in
"A Northern paper. were Of the most agreeable
character. Nor is this surprising. Where
is there a more beautiful agricultural section
than the rolling lands of the Valley and Pied
mont Virginia? Not only is the scenery Of
West Virginia magnificent but II acquires an
additional interest from the great wealth Of
minerals in the soil.
The Doctor was travelling in company with
Mr.. Vanderbilt and Mr. Huntington. who are
very much interested in the development OF
the country along the line of the Chesapeake
and Ohio. Very naturally these gentlemen
are disposed 10 be very sanguine over all the
evidences of prosperity TO be observed there.
and IN a measure Dr. Depew may reflect their
favorable We've in his own enthusiasm. but
which he reached as to the future of that por-
ton Of Virginia and West Virginia through
which he passed are substantially just and
true.
But we venture to disagree with the genial
Doctor on one point. lie says that fur
naces and factories are Republican. They
are products of Republican principles and
missionaries of the Republican party. 1t
may not be the next election. though that is
a matter Of doubt. but in the presidential
election four years from now Virginia and
West Virginia will he as surely Republican
as Vermont"
DR.. Depew 10 falling into this expression Of
opinion was giving away to oyerconfdence.
which is justified by nothing in the present
sentiment of our people OF in their past his
tory. What would be the effect upon the
political feeling of the Viiginians OF an extra
ordinary development OF the industrial re-
sources OF the State if there was no cOlored
population. it is not so easy TO say. but as
long rs this population holds the balance of
power IN case OF a division among the whites,
there is little likelihood IF Virginia becoming
Republican, State.
Republicanism dominant here would lead to
nothing but confusion and bitterness because

race question is brought forward prominently
all other questions will sink into obscurity.

SILVER ~ THE CONVENTION.

A telegram from Lynchburg states that
Hon John W. Daniel made a speech Non
day at Campbell Courthouse. in which be
took strong ground in favor of free silver"
and the telegram states further that he
proposed 10 make the same speech IN
the State Convention. We have the
highest regard for Major Daniel. whom
we look on as representative Viz
gilman Of the highest type; but with all
our regard for him, we think he has gone
sadly astray upon the matter Of silver. And
widely as he has gone astray upon It as an
economic question. we think he will make a
greater mistake still if he introduces silver
into our State Convention.
The great body Of the Democrats of the
United States know perfectly we'll that there
is no chance for us TO elect Democratic
President if we allow the party 10 be tied in
the smallest measure 20 free silver. and there
is not the slightest probability that the Chi
cago platform will nave even q squirt at Il.
For the Virginia Convention therefore 10 pass
resolutions favoring free silver would be for
it 10 do an entirely vain thing which
would count lOr ADsOllte4y nothing N
the general make up of the platform.
II would. however. have an injurious ten
dency. The Old Dominion is still power IN
this Union. Thousands Of eyes turn 10 her in
every contest as the home OF conservatism
and moderation. II. in the crucial condition
Of actual affairs she should now break away
from her old and steady moorings. not only
would the fact 90 far towards diminishing her
prestige and influence. but it would seriously
compromise the candidate whomever he NAV
be- II would badly handicap him
We hope therefore that neither Major Daniel
rany one else will breach this subject in
our convention. Leave il alone to be taken
up and dealt with after we have disposed with
the Force bill" by electing Grover Cleveland
President OF the nited States. We Will then
have plenty of time and opportunities for dis
posing of silver. which Will no doubt be lust
as abundant then as it is now, if not little
more so.

Sherman. it has been recently reported. had
