To, II. HIVE No Divisions in virginia

Here I'm Virginia not much disposition
has as yet been manifested to get ihe
Democratic party to divide into two rae
tions this year. In some few counties the
more jealous free-coinage advocates nave
shown a disposition TO divide the people
along those lines, but as far as we can
forecast the result most Of the Demo-
cratic members of the next General AS
sembly will be elected as Democrats not
as sound-money men, nor as free-coinage
men. The old Democratic party Is good
enough for them and to 1t they sun ac-
knowledge their allegiance.
WHY should the Democrats OF Virginia
divide upon the silver question: There
would be no advantage in carrying this
State unless along with Ii could be car
ried States enough to secure TO the
Democratic party the control OF the next
Democratic National Convention. Is there
any possibility that that result can be
brought about?
A few years ago free coinage was more
popular than 1t is now. 1t seemed to be
almost universally popular. The prospect
seemed to be that the Democrats or the
whole country. except perhaps New Eng
land. would join hands to press free COIN
age TO the front as a measure approved
by all the people But how stands free
coinage now? When we begin to count,
we tell off at once a majority OF the votes
as opposed TO free coinage. New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, and even Mary
land. New Jersey, and Delaware must
be classed amongst the sound-money
forces.
In a word, II is a clear case already
that the Democratic National Convention
of next year will be under the control OF
the sound-money men. What can Few
county meetings in Virginia, or few
Democratic members OF the next Legis-
lature, do towards reversing the order OF
things and getting the President and his
officials and the people Of the Old Domin-
ION 10 declare for the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio OF 16 TO /?
We write as 10 practical men. why
uselessly antagonize the present admin
lstration? Why endeavor to undo what
Iowa, Maryland? What would be the
prospect Of success OF our nominee for
President Of the United States IL We
began our work OF electing him by de-
.laring for measure which all the New
England States, all the Middle States,
and the four States above classified will
certainly oppose to the bitter end? And
IL you reply that you don't desire to
elect a President who Is a sound-money
man, then you invite the sound-money
men to say that they do not desire to
slect a man who is a free-coinage ad-
vocate.

lble. Let us acknowledge that the sound
money men are as true Democrats as the
free-coinage men. Let us all be Demo-

Let the boards Alone.

Do our people wish to change the mode

boards to be compelled to 60 before the
public at stated periods begging for votes?
II so. do the people expect that we

Are we to ask Of our commissioners,
not only TO give their services TO the
community without pay. but TO undergo
the labor and expense Of going over their
wards and personally soliciting votes?
Doesn't every sensible man in this
community know that under changed

would speedily deteriorate? Doesn't
every sensible man know that commits

to cater more for the approval OF the fire.

These are questions that we wish our

change OF the charter at all. so far as
It refers o these boards? Were not
these boards established In defiance Of
the will OF the politicians. and In accord

Have they not satisfied all reasonable

Fixed Income s.

The fact is not generally recognized
that there is large number of persons
whose interests lead them TO favor mono
metallism. Especially is this the case
in England. A late number Of the Lon
don Times alludes to this fact as follows:
ut seems impossible to get bimesll-
lists to understand that there Is quite
large number of us for whom general
rise In prices has no charm whatever.
We like them low, and the lower the bet
ter. II they all went down to half their
present figures we should rejoice, because
we have nothing to sell and great many
things TO buy. For those who have things
to sell we do not feel any great concern"
Although this paragraph has undoubt-
eddy foundation in fact. 1t Is so blunt
that 1t reads as If it had come from the
pen Of a bimetallist. However, there
are. as we have said, very many fixed
incomes in England.

An Example to the State.
Roanoke Evening World.)


The House convention at Salem yes
terday, in the resolutions 1t adopted set
an example which we should like to see
followed by all similar conventions
throughout the State. We refer TO its
action in declaring for a constitutional
convention. This question Is now re-
cognized as one Of the leading State is
sues now before the people. and 1t is
one upon which the conventions Of the
party should express themselves. 1t is
fitting that this section, which has been
one Of the centres OF the agitation OF
constitutional reform. should take this
step In the party organization. and we
hope that other parts or the State Will
do likewise.
The friends of this movement have
reason TO be gratifed at the results OF
the conventions held thus far. The men
nominated at Salem are all right. The
convention held at Chatham. Va, Mon
day. nominated Mr.. Eugene Withers, a
leader in the movement for senator, ana
named four candidates for the House OF
Delegates upon a platform which contains
the following:
THAT the Democratic party or the
county favors and demands an imme-
date call by the General Assembly OF a
constitutional convention, with view
to the adoption Of Constitution which
will secure a more economical admins
tration of the State Government and a
reduction Of the present exorbitant rate
of taxation"
According to our information. up 10

nominated for the House OF Delegates
and three for the Senate. Of these. all
of the senatorial candidates and seven
of the House nominees favor consul
