Catalogue of the State Library.
q the Editor Of the Dispatch:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
/ am glad to see that the Richmond
City Council has passed an ordinance TO
appoint an assistant librarian to the
State Library. which practically opens
this valuable library to the people.
Is there any catalogue Of the Virginia
Library published? II not. would not this
be one Of the first works after the re-
moval Of the books? After its completion
In manuscript / doubt not your Genera
Assembly would MAKE the necessary APP
Precipitation for printing II. With your
valuable books and manuscripts all pro-
perly arranged and classified. and a cata-
logue printed, the Virginia State Library
would be Mecca TO historical students.
NJ. j. ".
There is no up-to-date catalogue OF our
library, but we doubt not that as soon
as the books are removed to the state
Library building one will be prepared
and printed In due time.
OF course our officials recognize the fact
that the library could not come up TO the
full measure Of its usefulness without a
printed catalogue of its books, MSS, por-
traits, &c.

Mr.. Hills Speech of Acceptance.


In our last issue we gave to our read
ers the speech of Mr.. Hill upon being
notified of his nomination TO be the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor Of New
York. No other man makes such speeches
as he. His style and manner are his own.
He seems TO be always ready to tell what
he believes as to any public measure that
may be pending either in Congress or
before the people. In fact, he is a bold,
candid, aggressive leader, and, therefore,
"a successful one. Trimmers never become
popular. That is to say, trimmers who
are known TO be such.
We never expressed q doubt that Mr..
Hill would accept the nomination Of the
Syracuse Convention. We could not con-
ceive 1t possible that he would allow that
convention TO adjourn sine die after nomi-
mating him unless he purposed 10 accept
the nomination. And yet it appears that
he used his utmost efforts after that body
adjourned TO find some other man who
could place the Democratic flag upon the
Capitol at Albany. He could find no such
person, and so he stands in the breach
himself proclaiming now as ever, Il am
a Democrat"
We have heretofore furnished our read
ers with the platform of the Syracuse
Convention. We will give now the plat
,orm which Mr. Hill laid down in accept
ng the nomination Of that convention
whose platform was 50 worded as to
meet his views. He said:
81 shall put to the plain people the
ssue Of Democracy versus plutocracy; the
ssue Of no public taxation except for pub
&c purposes; the issue Of opposition to
he Capitalization OF all power In the
General Government; the issue OF personal
liberty against religious intolerance: the
ssue OF good government, liberal and
ust excise laws, economy in public ex-
,enditures. the promotion Of the dignity
VI labor, and the protection Of its rights:
municipal home rule. the uproOting Of cor
upton. and the correction Of abuses ev-
anywhere. whether in Republican or DEM
,cratic localities"
That is a comprehensive platform, and
ret the reader will notice that not n
word Is said in II as to the income-tax
aor as TO the silver question, nor as TO
he tariff question. AS 10 these questions
Ne has declared himself so frequently and
lis position it is not his fault He has
declared that he takes the German tariff
'ill 10 be a Democratic measure, or rather
measure. on the whole. for which the
Democratic party is responsible.
Mr.. Hill says he had everything to lose
ana nothing to gain by accepting the
syracuse nomination. and preferred to re-
main In the Senate. Nobody can doubt
hat this was candid utterance, as was
llso his declaration that personally he
.as largely indifferent to the consequences
Of the struggle. We quote here hrs own
weighty and thoughtful words:

The mischievous Mugwumps and Demo-
cratic soreheads OF New York are threat
ening to compass Mr.. Hilfs defeat by
means of another ticket-a so-called
Democratic ticket" the real purpose Of
which is to land Levi L. Morton in the
gubernatorlal chair at Albany.
OF course our national administration
cannot have any sympathy with any such
cut-throat business as this but We wish
that it would take especial pains to make
the fact known. SO that he who runs might
read. With half chance Hill will sweep
down all opposition. But should he be
not well supported the effect would be
bad all over the country.
Hill has made a great sacrifice to serve
his party in the hour Of extreme danger,
and is entitled to the enthusiastic sup
port of all men who call themselves Demo-
Gratis.

Judge Morrison has run away from his
party platform. He processes TO be
against further agitation or legislation
on the tariff.-Wytheville Patriot.
Judge Morrison no doubt says that he Is
opposed TO a general revision Of the tariff
now or for years to come. He does not
wish to alarm the business interests of
the country. and he believes that ii would
be better to improve the tariff-where 1t
needs improvement and when it needs
improvement. The Democrats are opposed
TO panics. fhe Republicans, on the other
hand, are telling how much harm the
German law is doing. and they are thus
harming business. We have no doubt that
Judge Morrison holds the right views on

New International Conference.

The one thing that is necessary TO the
solution Of the silver problem is another
international bimetallic conference. The
Washington correspondent Of the Balti-
more Sun writes as follows:
Talk Of further efforts TO ;ettle the
silver question by an international agree
ment is being revived in official circles
Although the last commission appointed
by Germany to consider the possibility Of
rehabitatng silver in that country
reached no conclusion, 1t IS asserted the
matter is receiving the attention Of Ger
man financiers. and some action regard
ing il Is anticipated. The fact that the
United States is upon gold bass. it
is said will make the problem easier
to be solved, should another conference
Of the nations be held"
Let another conference assemble, and
it will soon become apparent that the
able financiers Of the world know a
great deal more now than they did ten
years ago. or even five years ago. Wisdom
did not die with the last generation.
