VIRGINIA FOR REPEAL.
From tho Washington News.

From the Washington News.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia, delivered
yesterday sturdy seech in opposition
TO the repeal of the silver pure base
clause, arguing the question, as no al
legged, from the standpoint of the bust
ness men and farmers, and in their in
terest. In this category he included, of
course, first and foremost, the people of
Virginia.
Now we read that at the very hour
when Senator Daniel was delivering his
Grafton the largest political convention
ever held in Fairfax county unani-
mously adopted resolutions strongly
favoring repeal and earnestly request
ing" Senators Daniel and Hunton not
only 20 support the Wilson bill, but also
to do their utmost to promote an early
vote ON the subject" In this action the
Fairfax county people have simply
joined hands with the people in many
other counties of Virginia, who have
already declared emphatically in favor
OF repeal. In the words Of the poet,
Who're is Senator Daniel al?

The TIMES is informed, the promoters

Last Sunday Rev. j. Cleveland Hail

assist to whatever extent they felt
themselves able to do, and today his
invitation will be again extended to
those who have not already responded.
But the situation throughout the
stricken region is such as to arouse the
sympathy of the whole community, and

ltis stated In Washington dispatches
that quite number OF eastern and west
ern democratic conrressmcu have agreed
90 take steps rs soon as congress cOuv'ues
o. put stop Do the investigation of the
alleged pension frauis which is being
made by direction of Secretary Smith. It
is not stated why those congressman want
the iuvesii gatiou stopped, but the reason
Is pretty well understood They are
afraid ~ the soldier vote.
10 is greatly 10 DE regretted that there
are SD many congressman who lack the
Independence to DO what they know TO be
right There are pension laws that should
never have been enacted. and would not
have been. had not congressman yielded
10 the argument that they would not be
reelected If they refused to vote for them.
Many democrats were bulldozed by the
pension lobby into helping TO swell the
pension charge
No doubt the pension lawyers in Wash
ington have been stirring up the veterans
throughout the north aud getting them TO
bring their influence 10 bear upon the
congressman of their respective districts
to have the investigation stopped; and it
is safe to say that "A particularly strong
pressure will be brought TO bear upon
democratic congressman, because repub-
lican congressman have very little inhu-
ence in congress or with the secretary.
VIII the investigation be Abandoned
Itisquite certain that it will not. Neither
the administration nor the Democratic
party could afford to have it abandoned
Enough has been discovered already
to convince the country that tens
of thousands Of pensions are fraudu-
lent, and that the government is
paying out many millions of dollars annu-
ally more than it should pay To stop
the investigation would be an admission
that vast amount of fraud has been
discovered, and that the Democratic
party prefers to permit the frauds 10 ex-
ist rather than run the risk of losing the
soldier vote. The Democratic party
could not afford to make an admission of
that kind
But if il ferrets out the frauds and
makes the pension roll a roll of honor, it
will strengthen itself with the people
and win the respect and support of even
the soldier element.
The investigation will not be stopped
Secretary Smith could much better af-
ford to resign than to consent to have it
stopped
