Mr. Hill and Silyer.

Whatever other persons may consider
him, Mr.. Hill evidently regards himself
as a possible nominee OF the next Demo
cratic National Convention for President
OF the United States. We. therefore,
attach a good deal Of Importance to his
uttorances. and try to understand them
exactly as he intended them to be un-
dcrstood. His letter TO MIR. Howell. which
we published a few days ago. was writ
ten. az we have heretofore stated. In
July. 1893. and his speech In the United
States Senate from which we have
quoted was made in February. 1884. We
take II that there can be no two opinions
as 10 which uttcrance is 10 be accepted
az expressing his present views-that Is,
II either is. We repeat what we said the
other day that II Mr.. Hill is candi-

OF the United States he Is not in favor
Of providing by law for the free coinage
OF silver. lie knows that no man can
hope for the support OF New York, Penn
sylvania, and the New England States
who advocates that measure. Surprising.
then. that Mr.. Hill is a man of ordinary
sagaclty, he must be credited with
having sense enough not TO throw away
his chances for nomination for Presi-
dent by committing himself TO n measure
which he knows (yes. knows Is so I'M
popular In the States referred 10 above
that TO man advocating Il could expect
10 receive their support in the nomi-
mating convention. In word. the proba-
blllties are all on the side OF Mr.. HIS
candidacy eve do not say nomination..
and IL so, IL is because he holds the
opinions OF his own State on the sub
ject under consideration.
We repeat. then. what we said on the
10Th instant. that Mr.. Hill attached to
and published along with his speech Of
February Z 1894. an old utterance OF a
New York st platform-as follows:
I'VE are at Est the coinage OF any
silver dollar which is not Of the intrinsic
value Of every other dollar OF the United
States
II he did not concur in this declara-
ton. why did he reproduce it in print?
In that speech of February G. 1894. MI
IIill said:
1T must be competent free bimetallic
coinage actually making our silver in
the white dollar everywhere equivalent
TO the gold in the yellow dollar and vice
versa"
This was long after his letter to Mr..
Howell was written.
Again: What does Mr.. Hill understand
the words Intrinsic value" to mean?
Let him answer in his own words
What IL the test OF intrinsic value
IN silver dollar?
THE test is the same
"That melting II shall make no loss.
"Three hundred and seventy-one and n
quarter troy grains Of pure silver, first
coined at the mint into = dollar, then
melted IN the crucible. lose by the change
many cents worth Of value"
Enough. We hope that Mr.. Hin will
settle this question.

The Passing Of Brady.

The West Virginia Legislature now con-
ssts Of the Senate the House, and Mr.
Brady.
Mr.. Brady is a delegate from one Of the
counties. who has shown his capacity to
exercise the veto power on a resolution
which he was directed TO take from the
House TO the Senate
Mr. Brady possessed himself Of the reso-
luton in question and then disappeared.
This was many days ago. and his audacity
has so paralyZed the House that il has
not yet been able to decide what should
he its action In the premises. Meanwhile
we learn from West Virginia newspapers
that Mr.. Brady's friends have kindly let
1t be known that he will present the reso-
luton 10 the president Of the Senate when
he gets ready.
Mr. Brady is a Republican. and it seems
that his party in the Senate is not yet
prepared 10 act upon the resolution. but
when it is prepared he will be forthcom-
ing with it. This is certainly a u0!que
way Of improving upon old legislative
forms, and it is possible for it to have ct
least one good effect.
In Virginia and West Virginia both il Is
the custom to communicate business from
one house 10 the other by special messen-
gers. In nearly every such case it would
be better 10 let the clerk include the bust
ness in his regular communication TO the
other house; but no. this will not do for
impatient spirits. Their business must be
communicated at once by special messen-
ger II a good many OF the special mes
sengers would disappear, as the Hon. Mr..
Brady has done, 1t would be advantageous
TO the dispatch of public business, though
1t might continue to be considered some
what irregular.
The House resolution which is now sus-
pended by Brady.s pocket veto deals with
Virginia's proposition TO have West Viz
ginia come to settlement Of her portion
OF the debt Of the old State. The action
Of the House, az We learn from the
Wheeling Register. sis simple declina-
ton to commit West Virginia 10 the ac
acknowledgement that she owes one third Of
the Virginia debt, which a meeting with
the Virginia commission appointed to con-
fer with West Virginia on that basis
would plainly do
II Brady should consent TO allow the
Senate 10 act on the resolution we believe
that the Senate would concur with the
House II the question were put that way;
but we have hope that in the interim
given by the disappearance of Brady the
Senate will see its way to proposing some
substitute FOR the House resolution. II
may be right enough. from its standpoint,
for West Virginia to repudiate the sug-
gestion that IL owes one third of the old
debt. but in doing so it should not block
,he way to all sorts of plans of settle

Tucker and the Walton LAW.

Those who have been trying to convince

was conceived in fraud" will find little
comfort in the answer which Mr.. Tucker
has made 10 Mr.. Yost's notice OF contest.
Mr.. Tucker utterly denies that the intent
OF this law was to defraud the people OF
Virginia In any way, and he claims that
one of It's objects, IL not its chief object,
was 10 re-enfranchise the negroes Of the
State. who, since the days Of the procla-
nation Of President Lincoln. had been
re-ensaved by the party leaders of the
Republican party of the South" Every

band these illiterate people in solid array
against the white people Of the South.
Religious discipline. social ostrac.sm. ana
political decisions were all used to force
the colored voter TO vote in one direction.
and that with the Republican party"
Mr.. Tucker then goes on To say that
those colored men who desired TO change
their party affiliations. and who began 70
realize from time to time that the Demo
cratic party was their best friend, and
that the threats held over them by the
Republican leaders Of reinstatement In
case of Democratic success were without
foundation, were prevented by the means
above enumerated under the old system
OF voting from asserting their manhood
and voting their honest sentiments for the
Democratic party"
All this is true. and II IS true. too. that

marking their ballots were the victims OF
