The question Of a constitutional conven-
ton is a question. first. of getting II, and,
second, Of controlling It, But these things
are sure: There is an overwhelming de-
mand In Virginia for pure elections, and
yet il goes without saying that the whites
will not permit the negroes 10 control.
1t is useless TO discuss the why's and
wherefores. These are the facts. and the
problem must be solved upon that basis.
SO soon. therefore, as all the people awake
fully to this indsputable condition, de-
finite steps will be taken towards a final
solution OF the problem.-The Richmond
State.
The people are awakening rapidly. II.
after the trials Of the Walton election-law
to be made next year, the suffrage ques-
ton is still a menace to the peace OF
this Commonwealth, we much mistake the
temper of the intelligent masses II they
do not demand a convention to revise and
amend our State Constitution.

The Norfolk Pilot of Sunday last con-
tains a very long and able article from
Judge Robert w. Hughes. discussing the
silver question. The question OF the free
coinage of silver was postponed TIL after
the Greek Kalends by the elections of
the 9Th instant. The next House of Rep
resentatives WILL by a large majority,
be opposed to free coinage. So it would
seem that the question is not practical

Mr.. Weaver's Opinion.

The Populist candidate in 1892 for Pres
ident OF the United States has given his
opinion as to the results of the late cleo
lions. He is cocksure that the general re-
suits have no significance whatever so
far as the great public issues are con-
cerned at was simply universal dis
content" says he.
But let the results be owing to what
they will. the fact remains that the Popu-
lists were disastrously defeated at the
polls. "Who excuses accuses himself"

Exactly. And what is more, the estab-

ballot-reading schools for colored men led
to the imperfect marking OF hundreds Of
ballots. The illiterate voters who trusted
the special constables had their ballots
prepared according to law. while the
graduates Of the ballot-reading schools
marked their ballots so that the election
officers had no choice but to reject those
ballots.

Boston.

The Boston Globe boasts that whilst
Chicago voted the Republican ticket at
the late election, and New York gave
Hill only little more than 2,ep ma
jority, and st. Louis and Baltimore for

stood by the Democracy as firmly as il
there had been 10 tidal wave of Repub-

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
An Affirmative answer TO this question
would not be true. Many causes COM

feat of the Democratic party on the 9Th

was not one OF them. The new tariff has
not been tried sufficiently long for its
benefits to the people 70 be appreciated.
Had 1t been the result OF the recent cleo
lions would probably have been different.
The great industrial depression and hard
times which have prevailed for . year
or more were undoubtedly the factors
that wrought the result on the eth. 1t

The convention took under consideration an adj
verse report Of the Suffrage Committee upon a reso-

County, calling upon Congress TO pass an amend
mont to the Constitution providing that aliens shall
not be permitted to vote. Mr.. Lincoln moved that
this adverse report be rejected. and said that In
sixteen States OF the Union foreigners were
permitted to vote after only short period Of
residence Frequently most important political
changes were made by the votes Of foreigners who
were yct unacquainted with American institutions.
