To the Democratic Voters OF the City
and County of Alexandria.

and County of Alexandria.
The undersigned is member OF
the convention to nominate can
didate of the party for the
next General Assembly of Virginia,
and as such he participated in the pro-
ceedings on October 10, 1898, until the
adjournment for ten days 3Ir. Harlow
moved that the convention adjourn for
t n days to allow the democratic voters
of the county of Alexandria to elect
delegates under the same rule that pre-
vailed in the election OF city delegates
that is, under the rule for minority rep
resentation in the convention The
chairman Mr.. Barley declared the mo-
ton carried. l think the chairman's
ruling erroneous that the motion was
not carried. No delegate appealed
from the decision of the chair, and
therefore the ruling stands and is con-
elusive upon the body, and the conven-
ton was thereby adjourned for ten
DAYS. / will state further that the ac-
ton of the ten delegates from the city
and the alleged delegates from the
county in nominating Dir. Bendheim is
clearly illegal, and does not olnd the
party. 1 am a party man, and when
the party acts legally am bound by
their action; but as do not believe
this action legal. am not bound by it.
If any delegate had appealed from the
decision of the chair on this question |
would have voted against the chairs
ruling. That was the proper course to
take, and the result would have been
different. I suppose that the county
committee will call meetings and elect
delegates under the minority rule, aud
that the delegates elected and those
who accepted the ruling of the chair,
Alr. Barley, as conclusive will meet ten
days hence and nominate a candidate for
the party for the House Of Delegates.

Mr.. r. NJ. HUGHES, in the biography
Of General Joseph Johnston, which ne
has Just prepared for one of the ency-
clopedias, says the General never had
the opportunities that were offered
to other commanders for offensive oper-
atoms" No mortal military officer, OF
whom history takes note, ever had
more favorable opportunity for sue
cessful offensive operation than that
afforded General Johnston at the first
battle of Manassas in which Mr. Hughes
himself says less than half of the forces
commanded by General Beauregard
were engaged. and which, if availed
of would. according, not only TO some
of the most skillful men in his own
army. but to well-inforned Un-
ion men in Washington at the
time. not only have clothed him
with imperishable glory, but won
his countrys independence, saved
the immense loss of blood and treasure,
and fulfilled the promise that the war
would be over in sixty days. Presi-
dent Davis advised an immediate ad-
vance on the then defenseless and ex'
posed federal capital, but would not
insist upon its adoption in opposition to
the views of General Johnston.

II THE democratic majority In the

the national platform of their own par
tv, shall allow the republican minority
to have control of that body, many peo-
pie, now that the fear of negro DONNA
ton in the South has been dissipated,
will be disposed TO think there is little
or no use in striving to re-elect such a
majority. The national democratic
platform declared for the repeal of the
silver act land yet, many ofthe southern
democratic Senators declareit shall not
be repealed. The democratic President
insists upon the repeal, but is opposed
by southern Senators, the delegates
from whose States in the national dem
ocratic convention insisted upon bis
nomination. A party with divided
leadership cannot expect to succeed,
for how can discipline be preserved
among the rank aud file, if the officers
are squabbling and fighting?

HAVING passed the bill to repeal the
federal election laws, the democratic
majority in the [. s. House of Repre-
sentatives should Immediately call
upon the ways and means committee of
that body to report the new tariff bill,
and commence its consideration at
once. The principle of the bill has
been long determined, and was teiteE-

with proper diligence a period OF ten
weeks has certainly afforded ample
time for its formulation. The democrats

fact that Mr.. Van Allen subscribed
