He Led His Party Out of a Bog

The courage. not to say audacity.
shown by Senator Hill in consenting to
run for Governor Of New York on the
Democratic ticket has brought about an
entirely new condition OF things in that
State. But the grand fight which Hill is
making for the Democratic party hardly
attracts more attention than does the
New York Suns grand fight in behalf OF
Hill. That paper has excelled Itself. Here
is a short specimen OF the Suns daily
appeals to the voters Of the Empire State.
Read it and warm your blood, II indeed.
1t is not already up to fever heat:
"In September the Democratic party was
PROSTATE. 1t was like a sick man, lost AZ
well as helpless. weak In heart as in body
from the dazing sense of Its own denoral-
iZation and total ignorance OF where nope
could be found. 1t seemed as though the
main pillars of II had rotted out and that
the next change would be collapse.
"The startling difference between the
situation OF two months ago and that OF
to-day is that in the central stronghold
Of Democracy II has recovered strength
so near the normal that 1t Is able to
make one of the most energetic and ag-
gressive contests Of its history. 1t Ia
again one or the greatest nghtinS powers
OF national politics, powerful enough to
give fright to its enemies and expecta-
ton of victory to itself. and with an i'm
petuosity In its recovery which even de-
feat will not check. The Democracy has
been restored to the certainty OF continu-
ing an existence, which two months ago
seemed in serious danger.
"Hill has done 1t. His sudden assump-
ton of leadership in his party's struggle
In the Empire State: his inspiring and
invigorating Transformation OF dis
prited rout into a solid and eager army,
which has passed the crisis Of disaster
successfully, and will be found after any
result OF the election as ready and effec-
tive for action as 1t Is to-day. have
given back to the Democracy Ms old
courage and its old power for conflict on
the field OF national politics.
Doesn't Hill deserve success?'

President Cleveland and Senator Hi

The Hon. C. J. Faulkner statement
80 10 how Mr.. Cleveland stands affected
towards the Democratic party In the
pending campaign contains not even the
name of Senator Hill. Mr.. Faulkner as
sures the Democratic party. as whole,
that the President is deeply interested In
its success, and desires it to come sue
cessful out of the battle OF next week
but for the Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor Of his own State he the Presidenp
has no word OF encouragement. In the
following brief sentence Is the SUD-
stance Of all that Mr.. Faulkner
said for Mr.. Cleveland. 1t Is not
even case of "danning with faint
praise" the candidacy OF Mr.. Hill being
totally ignored. Mr.. Faulkner. as we
have said, might have compressed all that
the President authorized him to say into
the following closing remark as 70 his
conversation with his Excellency
You can rest assured that l express
my honest Judgment when l say that.
from my conversation with the Presi-
dent, no man takes deeper interest In
the success Of the Democratic party In
the present campaign, and the anxiety OF
the committee to return Democratic
majority to tho Fifty-fourth Congress
than President Cleveland"

To Special ConStableS.

Special constables who go to the polls
on Tuesday next ignorant OF the duties
that they will have to discharge will de-
serve that condemnation Of the public
which they are certain to receive.
We publish the Walton election-law
In full in to-day's issue. and we also pub
fish the main points Of the decision given
by Judge Simmons. Of Botetourt. in the
only election case adjudicated since the
Australian ballot was adopted In this
State. Further. we give the opinion OF
Judge Aiken, Of Danville, as to the def
milton OF the words may" and "shair'
where they are used to describe the du-
ties of the special constable. Now. with
the full text Of the law, and with the ex-
plantations Of the law made by these two
learned judges. no special constable who
reads the Dispatch need be at loss to
know what his duties are.
As we have said. the public Is not going
to have any patience with an ignorant
constable. There has been plenty Of time
for every man Of them to learn what the
law is, and II any one has not done So
or at least does not do 30 before Tues

Senator Daniel has returned to his
home. near Lynchburg, after making
moro than thirty campaign speeches since
the Sd Of September. He had large au-
diences everywhere and his presentation
of the issues Of the hour were received
with marked approval by the people.
A great bereavement which befell the
Senator a few months ago would have
been accepted by the public as sufficient
excuse for his doing little work In this
campaign. but with that loyalty to party
and to friends which has ever distin-
guished him, he put aside his grief a.
far as possible in order to contribute
literally to the country's welfare. And
all accounts concur that he was never
more effective In his oratory than du-
ring this canvass.

What the Democratic Party Stands For.

We are sorry to find SO consistent and
fair a paper as the Springfield Repub-
lican taking sides with the Mugwumps
and their allies In answering or pre-
tending to answer the question. What
does the Democratic party stand forT'
and then proceeding to denouncs the
Democrats of New York. In Virginia
this attack upon Senator Hill had been
forestalled by Fitz Lee. Waller r. Sta
pies. John w. Daniel, and others Of the
Democratic stump-speakers. Nothing that
the Republicans of the North can say
or do will convince the Democrats OF
the South that 1t IL not their duty to
stand by the Democratic party. let that
party stand for what 1t will in the opin-
ion Of the malimants Of tho North.
The Democratic party Is the only ma
tional party. The Republican party Is
a sectional party. We need not say
more.
