To the Editor Of The Times:

both Democrats, were candidates lol

and neither she regular nominee, as
will appear from the file OF nominations
reported to the state committee AT Rich-

that Mr.. Walton was the only cdndl-

Mr. Mcclure. the opposition cah1ludle,
defeated him No doubt. some enemy
hath done this. and my only object III
writing this communication II 10 SET the
facts before your readers, believing tlal
you would not knowingly do Mr; W altyn
an Injury. Mr.. Walton polled nearly
] 800 votes I'm the district TO PurCeH
! 81 and McCune's 2.29o. McCune did not
carry Shenabdoah over Walton ana Pur-
cell. but is in the minority. Purcell re-
c,ived lS2 votes OF Democrats who were
crrcsed TO Walton on personal grounds,
and Walton received Just twice as many
votes as Purcell IN the county OF Fred
crick ana city of Winchester.

CHARGES that Mr.. Walton VAS dnstinttd

The friends Of Mr.. Walton claimed That
he was the stronger candidate or the
two. and would poll more votes. all OF
which vas verified by the returns. Inc
fight lInade against Mr. Walton was
Matched up and engineered by a few so
called Don ocrats in Frederick county
and the city of Winchester. who are
noted as the boilers in the last guberiia-
torial canvass. and were forsaken by
the rank and file of Democracy.

camp Of the enemy. where they belong.
The differences that brought about this
peculiar fight are well known 10 the peo-

A Mr.. Moore writes the Washington
Post the following letter.
Editor Post: Mr.. Grover Cleveland is
scheduled TO thunder down the ages as
one President who accepted the annihila-
ton OF the party that elected him as
a vindication OF his own craftsmanship.
1t is as if "A doctor were to point to the
graves of his patients as the supreme
tokens Of his professional skill.
H. MOORE.
The Cochran. Washington, ID. c., Novem-
Der 10th.
There is no particular reason why we
should notice MIR. Moorcs letter. The
same thing that he says is being said
every hour of the day, in one form or
another, by many other persons OF
much greater Importance than Mr.. Moore,
but he has formulated the idea concise
~. and it serves, therefore, very well
for text.
The thunder down the ages" business
and the graves of the patients are
only a little fus,ian rhetoric that needs
no notice. The important thing is this
sentIeman's idea that the Democratic
party has been lost because OF Mr..
Cleyeland's course since he has been
President.
Now, The Times wants to express its
very deliberate conviction that all the
vitality left in the Democratic party
owes its existence TO the tcnacity with
which Mr.. CLEVELAND has fought his
party's leaders in their effort 10 commit
il to the destructive doctrines they have
advocated since the party came into
power. II those men had had their way
and had enacted a law for the free coin
age of silver The Times believes catas-
trophe would have befallen this country
OF which there is no parallel in his
tory. and the Democratic party would
have disappeared from the face OF the
earth
Mr.. Cleveland has not been true 10
ideal Democracy. In favorinS free
raw materials" and the unequal and un-
fair income tax he departed from that
foundation principle of Democracy when
demands that the laws shall bear in
exactly the same way upon all men, that
exact Justice may be done 10 all. ms
mind has never yet opened 30 the fun
and glorious light of Democracy In Its
highest sense. But he has learned, and
he has learned 10 love, many of It's most
important truths. as he showed by his
logged and unaltersnie opposition 10
cheap money. and by his firm demeanor
when anarchy reared its horrid head III
Chicago two years ago.
Whatever vitality survives TO the Demo
cratic party grows out of his action in
these two matters. We do not speak
OF Democratic principles. They can
never die, however they may be crushed
to the ground. We speak only of the
organization known as the Democratic
party The leaders of that have sought
since 1892 to make that forfeit the conf
dence and respect OF ali rational and
conservative men. and the confidence of
that class that has been preserved to 1t
has been preserved BY Grover Cleve-
lard.

COLORADO ABANDONs FREE SILVER

All men recollect the piteous lamenta-
lions of the senator's from Colorado in
the debate over the repeal of the Sher-

But Colorado refused the Part that

with will, and they have made Colorado

Of Mum vs. Illinois has come to be under
stood by the people. Il is undoubtedly
true that dissatisfaction with IL has grown
and It now seems highly probable that at
no distant day IL will be repudiated as
one OF those undemocratic. un-American
doctrics of socialism that tho war period
grated upon our institutions.
The case comes down, then, 10 TINS:
Whatever legislation is resortcd to must
come from the State legislatures, and
not from Congress: and while the social
istic doctrines that The war grated on
our Institutions hold that the State iegis-
latures may regulate a business that
the public is supposed 10 have an inter-
ested in, yet the business must be one o.
that character. and even That doctrine
seems on the eve OF being repudiated. H.
then. the Legislature may prescribe regu-
lations under which the Standard On
Company and the American Tobacco
Company are to conduct their busihesS
IL Is because their business is OF charac-
ter 10 give the public an interest III
them. and. If they are, we do not see
why the business of a dry-goods mer-
chant. n grocer or any other business Is
not equally so, and II the government Is
IN control all business, then we have an
ideal state OF socialism that will soon
be- turned into one Of seething rotten
ness and corruption.
There is yet, however. one theory. en-
iirely separate and apart from what We
have been considering. upon which the
State legislatures can control the
business of the great Industrial
corporations For the past fifty
or sixty years all charters for incor-
porated companies have come under a
general provision of law that they are
subject to alteration. amendment or
repeal by the legislature. Under this
reserved right the legislatures of the
States may undoubtedly amend the char
tcrs of the great industrial corporations.
so az TO provide for suppressing their bus
mess. The result of such legislation
would be that the government would
supervise a business when conducted by
a corporation, but would hold hands off
where the same business was conducted
by an individual or by mercantile part
nership. No corporation. of course,
would do business upon any such terms.
Such legislation would operate as an ef-
fectual bar 10 business by corporations;
men would wind up corporations they are
interested in and conduct their business
as partnerships or go out of business
altogether. This would amount TO a
proclamation that we were TO nave no
more incorporated companies, SO that the
question comes back always TO where the
Times stated at the beginning that it
must rest and that is at the inquiry.
shall we abolish the principle of incor-
porated companies and confine the oper-
atoms of business to partnerships and
individual effort?
