WE tHHOR THE DOCTRINE.

In a long article deprecating the ef-
forts the state has been making to
force Mr.. Thomas 5. Martin to declare
his views on silver. the Charlottesville
Progress says:
Ii grieves us TO differ with so amiabie
and able a contemporary as the State.
not only as TO the policy in question,
but in the matter of forcing public men
to utterances which they may see cause
20 regret In the future The discussion
is on. as you say. and the issue is ineS-
liable. but let IL be confined to the
press. the leaders and moulders of pub
lie opinion for the present. DO not force
our public men into II, for they are not
leaders, but mere representatives of the
opinions thus formed among the people.
We have never met with any doctrine
that we could repudiate more cordially
and sincerely than this. In the first
place we have very little use for any
man who cannot make up and form an
opinion upon any question whatever that
is fully discussed before him. lie
may make up an erroneous opinion. but
- ;,s is any man at all he will form
an opinion OF some sort. II he is the
right sort Of man. he will always be
ready 10 hear argument and receive new
information, and he will always be ready
TO revise an opinion once formed. and 20
change it If he sees that he was wrong.
But man who forms no opinion upon
a question that is poked at him day in
and day out, ranks with us very much
as a jeily-fish. Further. the inclination OF
our mind always is in such case to the
conclusion that the man has an opinion
but is afraid TO express 1t.
But wc never will tolerate the idea
that our public men are TO be follow
ers instead OF leaders Of public opinion.
We insist upon 1t that the men who are
to represent US shall have definite opin-
ions upon the questions they are to deal

To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir,-The first thing | do every Sunday
morning is. of course. 10 grab Tor The
Times; the next is TO turn over all the
pages until | strike The Whir OF the
Wheel" and nothing is read. not even
the baseball column, until that is fin
ished. In reading this-to me-most in
teresting department, / have often been
struck by the fact that you rarely ever
mention that sterling old organization,
the League of American Wheelmen. The
league now comprises about forty thou
sand members. and is doing more and
has done more for wheelmen and wheel
women too. than every other wheel
organization put together. When the
League was inaugurated, the bicycle had
no legal standing; IL was an intruder
on the highway, and If teamster could
wreck one every now and then he had
performed 10 him and his fellows,
highly commendable deed. The League
fought this through all the courts, and

authority. considered a vehicle. and as

Moreover. IL you are purposely run over

HONEST ELECTIONS THE ISSUE.

1t is very evident that the sentiment In
favor of honest elections has made pro-
digious growth in the State of Virginia
within the past two years, and That IL the
Democratic party expects to retain con-
troll of the State ii must cut itself loose
absolutely from all trickery. dishonesty,
and cheating in connection with the bal
lot box. The extract from the Buchanan
Banner which we reprinted yesterday, ex-
pressed the opinion Of thousands OF vot-
ers, and there can be no sort Of question
that the public conscience has been
aroused, and that the Virginians who re-
spect themselves and worship God, are
unwilling TO be any longer united with
measures which have been demonstrated
to be conceived in a spirit that would
rule by fraud if it cannot rule fairly.
Nothing has happened in Virginia for A
long time that was so significant as the
res olutio,s adopted last Monday at the
Senatorial Convention at Danviile and
Ifttsylvania and the Convention at Hal
flax county. Both Of those conventions
perenr;oiily demanded that the Walton
law should either be repealed or should
be Invested Of every feature that made
it liable to be charged. as it now is. with
being a measr re framed and designed
IS a scheme by which voters ballots are
to be counted in just the opposite way
from which they wish them counted.
These resolutions are particularly note
worthy because they were passed in coun-
ties where the negro vote is very large,
and they are parts of the very region
for whose benefit the Walton law was
framed. But the honest men Of these re-
gions scornfully refuse to avail them
selves Of the tricks and devices that have
been prov ided for them. Like men, they
say they will deport themselves as men
should, and if they cannot retain con-
troll of their affairs by the open methods
which honest men practice. they will
take their fate. whatever it may be.
There is no risk that brave men who
plant themselves upon such position as
