Congressional Nominations WILDE
Made in All the Districts.
PETERSBURG, Va, July 21.-Major
Mann Page, ex-president Of the State
Farmers Alliance, now grand mas
ter of Masons of Virginia, was in the
city this afternoon and was inter
viewed on the political situation in
Virginia, and especially in the
Fourth Congressional District. He
said that the Populists' State con-
vention, to be held on the 23rd of
next August, at Lynchburg, would
be very large one, and that the
principal matter would claim the at
tention would be that in reference to
framing the platform for the party.
This convention would be followed
by district conventions to nominate
candidates for Congress. Major
Page had no idea who the Populists
would nominate from the Fourth
District. He himself had been ask
ed to accept the nomination, but had
declined. He had also been request
ed to stump the tidewater section of
the State for the party, but he had
not yet decided whether he would do
SO ornot. He would, however, make
some few speeches during the cam
.paign. Major Page said he did not
wish TO hold any political Office as
lie WAS grand master Of Masons of
Virginia, Hc was opposed to an
amalgamation Of parties, and if the
Populists did so into this fight to
win OF lose on principles, they did
not deserve success Major Page
was Of the opinion that with q fair.

that The opnlists were going into:

that there waste be no cheating, and

THE Posi- is waiting to hear from
our people. relative to the proposed
exhibit Of Wise County at the Rich
mond Exposition. We believe it a
mistake. and a serious one, to let an
opportunity of this character pass by
unnoticed The one thing that this
section of the State needs more than
aught else at this time, is to famil-
iarise the investing world with our
diversified material resources, and the
Richmond Exposition furnishes us
with an occasion which will, in a
great measure, answer this purpose.
We again call upon our citizens for
action, as there is little time to be
lost.

their part and have done it bravely
towards redeeming their pledges and
carrying ont the principles Of their
party. lfno tariff bill is to be pass
ed, the American people will not be
SO obtuse as to fix the responsibility
upon those who do not deserve it. IF
the Mckinley bill is to be allowed
longer lease Of operation and it as a
result the Democratic party is hurled
from place and power. the great Il
am" who now sits in the White
House must absume,as lie now invites
the full and complete and overwhelm-
ing liability therefor. We deny
the fact that Dir. Cleveland is even
consistent in the present expression
Of his views and covert threats.
In his letter accepting the presi-
Dental nomination in 1892, he says:
eve believe the advantages of freer
raw material should be accorded to
our manufacturers and we conten-
plate a fair and careful distribution
Of necessary tariff burdens rather than
the precipitation Of free trade. . eve
believe in the advantages of freer
raw material" says Mr.. Cleveland
prior to his election in 1892, but as
President, in 1894, he tells the DEM
ocrats in Congress that the Senate
amendments which give freer raw
material is party perfdy and its adj
vocatcs party traitors. He tells
them to frame their bill on the lines
of free raw material or they are gull
ty of party treason. This is the DIFF
ference between Mr.. Cleveland the
candidate and MI Cleveland the
President. But this aside, the most SER
ious error Of his letter,as we view it, is
the unconstitutional interference of
the Executive with the legislative
departments Of the government. We
think at this writing that it will re-
suit in the defeat Of any tariff reform
measure, it may result in the disrup-
ton of the greatest and grandest par
ty that has ever done service for this
country, but that it may not result
in the sacrifice of principle OF in the
loss of manhood on the part Of the
peoples representatives in the Unit
ed States Senate is our most earnest
wish. That these gentlemen will
prove courageously and unalterably
firm in the position which they have
assumed we have every reason to be-
lieve. The question which is now most
prominent before the people, the ques-
ton which Congress must now an
swer once for all is this: els Mr..
Cleveland greater that his party?"-
and we believe it will be answered
with no uncertain sound.

Mr.. Cieveland's Letter.

Viewed almost from any stand
point the Presidents letter to Mr..
Wilson in regard to the pending tar
if bill is mistake. That Mr..
Cleveland has the courage Of his con-
victions, that he is conscientious that
he is inspired by the Hottest and the
most patriotic motives, few, if any,
will deny. That he acts at times
without the slightest regard to the
first principles Of party policy, that
he is intolerant to those who do not
happen to agree with him in regard
to Democratic principles and in the
construction Of the Democratic plat
form, that he regards himself as the
one and only great high priest Of
Democracy, his recent letter, if
naught else in his public career, con-
clusively proves. Taking advantage
of his high and powerful position, he
sends a personal letter to the Demo
Gratis in Congress which, though
plausibly worded, tells them in other
words that if the representatives of the
Democratic party in Congress assem-
bled do not follow the lines that he lays
down, if they do not fashion a tariff
bill after his ideas, whatever their
honest opionins as to the
essentials of true Democratic tariff
bill may be, if they do not substitute
these opinions to his opinions, the
Mckinley law will remain in effect.
This is the logical effect of MIR.
Cleveland's letter. With this letter
in one hand and the menace of veto
in the other, he tells a Democratic
Congress: "Do thus and so or do
nothing" Tho attitude of Mr.
Cleveland in this matter is at once
astonishing and alarming. 1t is a
direct and impudent intrusion of ex
ecutive power upon legislative dclib.
GRAFTON. 1t strikes at the very root
of our theory of Government, and is
violative of It's fundamental princi-
pies. True tits, the Executive has
the right.of veto, but this power does
not imply the right of dictation. Let
us look the situation squarely in the
face. If Mr.. Cleveland had been the
author Of this bill, if he had sent it
to Congress with the mandate that
it either pass it or pass no tariff bill,
his attitude would have corresponds
ed 70 the position he created when he
wrote this letter. 1t is rank, it is.
unqualified, it is absolute dictator
ship. The country has yet to learn
what the effect Of this letter Will have
upon the Democrats OF.
Congress. Whether or not
the Democrats Of the Senate will
surrender and cringe at the crack Of
the Executive lash, isat this stage Of
the proceedings largely matter Of.

Journalist, Not Senator.

Henry Watterson, editor of tint

a great deal lately as candidate fol
Tinted States Senator from this
State to succeed Mr.. Blackburn. The

from the fundamentally on tho eco

We publish this morning an ex-
preston drawn from him IN regard to
the senatorial candidacy, in the
frankness and sincerity Of which we
have the utmost confidence. Mr..
Watterson is a journalist who does
honor to his profession, who believes

the opportunity it gives for that

WASHINGTON LETTER.
POSTS Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, july %, 1894.
Editor Post:
Will there be any tariff Legislation
at this session Of Congress? That
is the conundrum which everybody
in Washington has been trying to
guess ever since President Cleveland,
through chairman Wilson, sprung
that remarkable letter, favoring the
original Wilson bill, on Congress
and the public. At this time there
is dead lock apparently as firm as a
granite mountain between the House
and the Senate, each standing by its
own tariff bill. But these Congress
sional dead locks have a way Of get
ting unlocked just at the time that
everybody thinks they. have become
permanent and this one may not
prove an exception. Had the Presi-
dent been more diplomatic in the
language he used concerning his
party members Of the Senate there
would be more probability Of an
agreement; also Of future harmony
in the Democratic party.
1t is stated that the letter never
would have been made public if Mr..
Wilson has not ascertained that a
movement was on foot to authorize
the House conferees to agree to the
most important Senate amendments
that sixty Democrats had promised
to vote fol. it, which, with the solid
Republican vote, would have come.
dangerously near to passing such a
motion AS shown by his letter, Mr..
Cleveland prefers no tariff legisla-
ton to the Senate bill with its duty
on coal, iron ore, and other so-cslleii
raw materials, so the letter was made.

House.

Genius and Art.

1t is safe to assert that the world will
never reach the point of being able to look
down upon genius Nature is, Art adorns,
Genius discovers or reveals. Then Criticism
steps in and forinulates what Genius has
discovered or revealed into law that may
help poor average human nature to COM
prehension that it,, too, may have ideals
and reduce them to practice
Art for long time teaches the dramatic
student when he is to exclaim, LAS deep as
helll'' to a point downward as if to I'M
known depths and to look down as if try
ing to fathom the unfathomable Sudden
ly Genius, in fit of inspiration, exclaim-
ing, AS deep as help sees fit to gaze
downward still, but to raise the arm and
point the finger upward. Criticism is
amazed, but sees the point-the upward
point-and catching the infinite gain in
the expression formrlates the law of op-
posites.
When next dramatic student has to ap-
peal to heaven, he will be taught not to
lift the face and the right arm in what had
heretofore been considered the correct spir-
itual attitude, but to raise the arm indeed
in appeal while bending the head as if in
too great awe to gaze directly heavenward.
No. There Is always room at the top and
Genius will always be at the top. The only
difference is that Art and Nature, sitting
at the feet of Genius, are no longer satisfied
with mute alteration, but have taken to
notebooks and have begun to say for
themselves 1--WE, too, can do a thing or
two perhaps if we try. "-Lippincott's
