Tbc democrats of Virginia.

He Is not a true Democrat who pro-
poses to divide the Democrats OF Nir-
Einla into two camps this year, The
Democratic party IS in healthy condi-
hon In this State ana, as we have again
and again urged ought not TO divide
their forces in a campaign in which thefe
are no congressman 10 be elected. ana
no national issues necessarily involved.
There are able men here on both sides
OF the silver question; but there would be
no wisdom In putting them on the stump
in 1886 10 conduct a battle which viii not
come off TIL 1886. Before the time ar
rives for that battle 10 commence, some
thing may turn up which Will change the
whole aspect Of things, and render 1t
unnecessary for the Democrats to divide
at all
We notice every day the utterances oil
leading Democrats which would seem TO
Indicate that they are anxious to escape
a fierce campaign this year
For example, Secretary Hoke Smith,
after the fullest possible discussion OF the
silver question has taken place In his
subject from every point of view, tells
us that what he is opposed 10 is ''the
free unlimited, and Independent coinage
of silver at the ratio Of 16 to l." Now,
tits not impossible that q compromise
upon the silver question might result
from the suggestion thus thrown out by
Secretary Smith. If there is to be any
Ill shas "A
be a reasonable basis for It, If there
IS 10 be no compromise, let us wait an
other year before we compel our brother
Democrats TO engage in a war to the
knife ana the knife TO the hilt."
Again: There are already favorable
signs in Missouri, where the Democratic
State Committee met on Monday last and
after three hours OF discussion decided to
call a State convention to consider the
financial question-that is to say, the
silver question. The convention is not
10 be held until August 9Th, thus AFFORD
ing the Democrats of Missouri time
enough in which to reflect upon the sub
1ect. The State committee was almost
unanimously in favor of calling con-
ventiOn. Why not? VIII such con-
vention decide TO break with the adj
ADMINISTRATION, or will It decide to post
pone till next year the consideration OF
the silver question? The Democrats of
Missouri are wise men. and will do no
thing TO turn over that State to the
Republicans.
once more: Secretary Carlisle said on
Monday last that he had no opinion to
express on the financial situation. lie
doubtless referred to the revenue In the
Treasury and other kindred subjects; but
all the same 1t is a wise conclusion to
which he has come.
Let US here in virginia seek 10
preserve the unity OF the great national
Democratic party,

quill pens. and handled them weil--writins
letters that people could read, gossiping'
and philosophlzing alternately. Now Few
people seem to care to be praised TOT
their chIrography. Indeed. so far as our
lady friends are concerned. many OF
them, in their private correspondence
seem to take special pleasure In writing
bold, bad haLds. and then writing across
the pages, SO that the manuscript may
proye as illec lble as possible to the
reader.
But enough; too much, no doubt. We
did not mean to scold, but merely to
contrast the present with the halycon
days of our time. a sure sign of advanc-
ing age. perfect proof that he who In
dulges in such "reminiscences has gone
far on life's journey. and prefers to look
back upon the pleasant paths that he has
trodden, rather than peer into the
tangled jungles before him.

True Democracy.

Under this heading the Charlotte Ga
zette quotes from the Dispatch as follows:
Abuse Of the Democratic party and its
leaders Will come home TO roost. The
people % not admire men who are ready
10 laud thu Democratic party only when
elections are pear at hand and they wish
10 preserve their connection with II. They
admire men who are Democrats all the
time. Nor have they any use for pre-
tended Democrats who are better than
their party. In a word. the Democrats
of Virginia are the people of Virginia
Pleased with the above paragraph. the
Gazette adds the following comments:
"The above expresses in brief the meth
DDS of those who assume n position to
secure personal or immediate ends. But
on the principles stated by the Dispatch.
the underlying principles OF Democracy.
Will assert themselves. Demagogues and
ambitious leaders may for a time sue
coed. The very attempt TO reform the
Democratic party is evidence OF its In
destructibility."

The GeOrgin Convention.

The Griffin convention. as we have
heretofore stated. was In session only one
day The members seemed 10 know why
they assembled, and were ready to do
the work cut out for them. They did IT,,
and went home.
The silverite and the anti-silverite
papers do not concur in opinion as to
the character and size of the conven-
ton. The Atlanta Constitution says II
took the shape Of a revival meetinN
Add to this fact the powerful speech
which Senator Morgan. Of Alabama, made,
and then read Of the prominence Of
many OF the members, and you will
come to the conclusion that 1t was in
deed a grand affair.
On the other hand. the anti-sil-
verites say that Senator Walsh was
the only man Of prominence who could
be found to accept the chairmanship of
the new organization. Speaker Crisp
wrote letter to the convention. which
was not read, but he was not we'll enough
10 attend the convention. or the gen.
tlemen who have been elected TO repre-
sent Georgia In the next Congress but
three-Messrs. Livingston. Moses, and
Bartlett-were present while Of the
delegates chosen TO represent the differ
ent counties not more than half OF them
attended, and large percentage Of those
present were Popullsts. SO says Il Wash
irgton special to the Baltimore Sun.
Secretary Hoke Smith will this week
take the stump In Georgia for the cause
OF sound money. The Griffin convention
quoted and endorsed the declaration of
the Democratic national platform OF 1902
against interference by government Of
ficials with local elections; but Mr.. Smith
will not heed the teachings OF the plat
form.
And now, what can be said as to the
prospect In Georgia? Well, we discount
ed all such conventions when we recog-
nlzed the results Of the Kentucky con-
signs OF q reaction in favor of free coin
age at the ratio Of lG TO I. Georgia
might possibly have saved herself and
the Democratic party 81 she had consent
ed to declare for international free coin
age. But IL was the whole hog or none"
with our Georgia friends, and SO her sill
verite convention, If this it may be styled,
met with, or will meet with. whatever
treatment the Kentucky silverite conyen-
ton met with, or will meet with.

Some OF the respectable people who are
Interested in the development Of the Ameri-
can race horse are earnestly emphatic in
their opposition to the irregularities which
ore necessary features of winter race meet
II gs The better class of horse breeding
and racing people in this country are fairly
represented by the spirit of the Times"
a sporting journal of note; and this paper
has as much to say in condemnation of
winter racing as is being said by news
papers that are entirely without interest in
what is Slansily referred to as 1.-THE sport
OF kings In a recent issue this paper ex-
pressed its regret at the determined man
ner in which the withdrawing crowd was
popular and finally Illegal. Looking at the
matter from the standpoint of those whose
desire it is to encourage high-cass racing.
Spirit of the Times is sorrowful because
"this invariably fatal issue of winter rae
ing is to be revived at Baltimore through
the proposed running meeting at Airing
ten" Blame is laid almost entirely upon
the shoulders of George Engeman. who
through his claims to the doing of great
good by the disbursement of money for
wages. earned in this region the title of
"Philanthropist Engeman." The journalis-
tic critic says:
at Is not toe much to say that Geo.
EnBeman has contributed more to the
downfall of racing in the east than any
other single individual From the malo-
dorOUs days of the Clifton race track to
the present almost every single one of
Geo. Engemans acts has been detrimental

ment. Geo. Engeman persisted in carry
ing on his meeting until the authorities
finally adopted such measures as will most
likely prevent in the future racing of any
kind. good. bad or Indifferent, in the Dis
trict of Columbia.

that Engeman poses as the friend Of the
poor owner, AYERS that Engeman lis no

ingman. 1t is high time the poor man
should begin to discern that the man who
puts a penny in his pocket today and takes
cut dollar tomorrow is not desirable
sort of friend" 1t is very refreshing to
find much of out5poken honesty in
newspaper devoted mainly to the chronicles
of horse racing. 1t Is pleasant to have
such an authority call upon the public and
the press generally to combat every at
tempt at winter racing. 1t is remarkable
that it should be compelled to ask such
question-referring to reputable racing as
soications-as:
Why should such organizations be jeop-
ardiZed by Ii parcel of outside gamblers.
whose sole and exclusive aim is to make
what little money they may out OF the
gambling instincts of the lowest elements
of the community
