right in saying that majority OF the
white voters OF the State are at heart
Republicans. who would be voting with
tho Republican party now II the fear
Of negro domination were removed? We
do not believe the statement to be true
or anywhere near the truth. Despite the
prevalence OF the Republican protection
theory in some parts Of the State. we be-
lieve an overwhelming majority OF the
white people Of Virginia are at heart
essentially Democratic. We do not speak
OF the psuedo Democracy of late days
really Popul5ts--that represents Demo-
cracy as demanding that we shall have
debased money, and that we shall pill
lage and rob all those who have been
fortunate enough to accumulate property.
We feel sure majority of the white
people OF Virginia are opposed to that
sort Of Democi acy. We speak OF the
Democracy OF Thomas jefferson. a creed
that Pounds Itself upon justice to all mtn,
that abhors debased money as means
for inhicting injustice upon large bodies

Of each citizen to improve his own con-
dition. That is the Democracy which
is true Democracy, and of that Demo
csacy we feel absolute confidence ma
jority of the white people of Virginia
arc disciples.
The tombstone OF Republicanism is the
dogma that the government shall look
publican would protect the citizen
against the composition of foreigners,
and, by his State-bank tax. against the
sharpers amongst whom that citizen lives.
The Democrat would conflne the govern
ment to keeping the peace amongst citi-
zens ard 10 fighting foreign powers II
they trespass upon us or our citizens,
and he would then have each citizen TO
look out for himself, and sink or swim,
accordingly as he is able 10 TAXA care
of himself or not That is true Demo
cracy, and We have not the slightest
doubt that II there were not negro in
Virginia a great majority OF her people

theory. and hold fast to the Democratic.

NO RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION.

We have learned with regret and eur

some morbid sensibility, as we do not be-
leve that any such notion ever entered
into the heads of the commissioners, and,
If 1t had, 1t would have found no justiflca-
ton in the minds OF the people of Rich
mond. 1t is one Of the glories OF this place
that religious bigotry. If it exists, does rot
show its head. II there is even religious
prejudice, 1t hides itself in shame, and is
not and should not be tolerated. Catholic
Land Protestant and Jew and Unitarian,
are all one in social and political mat
tiers.
When any line, because OF religion, is
drawn against any one of these by any
Of the others, 1t is from ignorance and
narrow-mndedness; the one should be
dispelled, and the other expanded; both
should be occasions of pity mingled with
contempt. With our own private convic-
tons settled, we should nevertheless never
hear the suggestion of discrimination or
distinction because of a neighbor's re-
ligion, without a feeling that one Of the
fundamental ideas of true American free
dom and equality has been invaded.
Whatever else may be criticised about
any man, his faith should be held sacred

The Cincinnati Post says: ut Is report
ed that Emile lola, the great apostle Of
realism. will come TO New York and write
a novel based on his observations of the
lanes, alleys, end slums of that city.
While he is about It, why should lola
confine himself TO the lanes. alleys, and
Sums? Why not write a few lines about
the parks, libraries. churches, schools.
and homes. where health and plenty
reign? Surely. the sunshine deserves a
couplet where the shadow is given a
book. That is Just the trouble with the
realists. They always look for the darker
side, and are not realistic when describ-
ing whatsoever things are true and OF
good report.
