RICHMOND. FRIDAY. April 2s. 1879
It's been troublesome to wait tor
Friday to offer REMNANTS
they've piled up on us. Last RI
day and Saturdays exodus tor
Old Point thinned the crowd too
much, and several hundred choice
bits from the week were left. This
week has brought its own share,
and to-day you're invited to a per-
feet bonanza OF savings. Last Sat
urday we made an extra price cut
beyond the usual REMNANT re-
duction to make the day do double
duty. Those ridiculous prices re-
main on the goods---there hash t
been and won't be single price
raised. Taken with the rich variety
of offerings, to-day bids fair to
show phenomenal results, but we
are used to handling crowds, and
your shopping tour here IS devoid
of provoking waits and annoyance.

The City Council and the City Hall.
The DIsPATcH has urged an investigation
of the awards OF the Gty-Hall contracts
not from belief that the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings have acted wrong
Nv, but from the conviction that since a
majority Of them are charged with having
so acted. they are entitled 10 have hear
ing before the City Council.
Whether the contracts in question
should have been gwen TO persons who
were not the lowest bidders depends upon
whether those persons offered very much
better material and workmanship than
their competitors. On this point there is
difference Of opinion. Who is right and
who IL wrong can only be determined by
an investigation. 1t was for this reason
that we suggested that the City Council
should review tho whole question. This
we hope will yet be done. Let the chat
of gossip be sifted out and blown away
and the kernels of truth distinctly ex-
posed.
1t is known that one of the bidders
whose bid was rejected is very earnestly
in favor of an investigation, and 1t seems
10 us that the whole question might be
brought under review If this firm would
make an appeal in the proper form to the
uty Council.
II is impossible, however, TO make any
Investigation worthy 10 be so called I'M
less experts are summoned TO testify as to
the comparative value of the work to be
done.
What was OF first small dispute has now
grown to be a matter of consequence. and
II may grow yeti important unless the
City Council takes hold of it boldly and
lets the public see exactly what there is in
al Of this talk that We have heard.

We have no secret opinions on the silver
question. We would be afraid TO try the

because Wall-street spectators and other

But even the magnstes of Wall street

Mr.. Dana and Mr.. Cleveland.

Rlis bdHt anu HAi. S'''N'
We argued the other day that the New
York Sun was pressing free-unde doc
trincs upon Mr. CLEvELAsD's attention
not because that paper was itself Tree
trade journal and desired him to have q
successful administration. but because IL
desired 10 see him embarrassed. Inc last
issue of tho S,n which has come TO hand
contains proofs IN abundance that we
were right In our surmise. That paper
insists upon IL that the central princi-
ple of the policy which is TO direct na-
tional legislation for the next four years.
as ordered by the people last November.
is "the destruction OF protection, root
and branch. as unconstitutional. as fraud
and a robbery of the great majority OF the
American people for the benefit OF the
few. and IA the basis OF sham reciprocity
and tho cause of unjust and deleterious
trusts and combinations"
The SIN thus appears in thin disguise.
Its language shows that It is not in earnest
IN it's professions of opposition to the doc
trine of protection. II goes on. however,
TO epitomize what II holds that the Chicago
platform teaches: First. mo force bill.
no negro domination" Second. mo Nc
KNLEy bin, no protection" Third. mo
false trade interchange. no barrier of pro-
hibitive tariff taxes" Fourth, No trusts.
no probibitive taxes for their benefit"
Fifth, mo monometallism, every dollar OF
equal intrinsic value with every other dol
lar" Sixth. mo exclusively national
banking system" Mr.. CLEVELAND is thus
made 10 be the supporter of doctrines in
which he does not believe, az well as OF
doctrines in which he does believe. To
set HIM down as opposed to monometallism
is 10 carry out the Joke little too far.
However, we suspect that he smiles often
whilst reading the Suns lucubrations.

Cleveland and Virginia.

The wisdom Of the Presidents policy in making
the many suffer for the sins OF the few with re-
spect to the compromise in the State cOnven-
tionl Is q doubtful one, bat still It Is what he is
doing FarRriAe Journal
On the contrary, we have II from incon-
tes,able authority that the President has
said that had be been present at the Viz
ginia convention he would have agreed to
that compromise. Mind you, too. he has
Just given an Office OF honor to FITz LEE
one of the foremost of the promoters
OF that compromise. II would, there
fore. seem TO be useless to argue
that that compromise has alienated
ms affections from Virginia. II the Presi-
dent could be heard it is more likely that
be would say that the men whom Virginia
has seemed most interested in have not
been. in his opinion, available for the
places with which their names were men
toned.
Finally, be has promised 10 "even ~"
our share Of the Federal patronage as soon
as his hands are free from more pressing
business.
