HONESTY III ELECTIONS.

The movement for honest elections in
this State is gaining strength daily.
Even among Democrats of the strIc test
faith there are some who admit that the
Walton law ought not to stand on the
statute books as it now is, but the
promises mads on that score by the
party at large are too vague to satisfy
the great majority of voters, and. in
consequence, there is loud demand for
its unconditional repeal. The fact that
it Is possible, under its provisions to
evade the popular will. as expressed in
the ballots Of the people, and that votes
need not be COUNTED as cast, has reused
the public conscience. That love OF
fair play, which is innate to tho minds
of all true Americans, demands that the
obnoxious measure be wholly repealed
and an election law enacted which will
guarantee every man in the common
wealth not only the privilege of casting
his ballot for VIII omsoever he may pre-
fer, but also the right to have it counted
rs cast.
Honesty is the best policy in elections

The Proposed Joint Entrance Into This
City.
A dispatch from Baltimore on the 21st
inst. says: Hambleton's Circular will
say to morrow: There appears to be q
probability Of building connecting link
between the Chesapeake and Ohio at
Buchanan and the Roanoke and South
ern at Roanoke, Va. Suoh a connection,
1t is proposed, may be used by the Balti-
more and Ohio and the Chesapeake and
Ohio jointly, the Chesapeake and Ohio
to give the Baltimore and Ohio access to
the connecting road over its tracks from
Lexington to Buchanan.
1t Is propos d by Ger ssin interests at
Roanoke to contribute desirable site
for terminus at Roanoke, and the hold
ers of Roanoke Southern and Ysdkin
Valley bonds it is intimated, may find
1t to their interest to assist in building
this connecting link At present the
Roanoke Sou thern road is leased to the
Norfolk and Western. and il the latter
road is to be reorganized without fore
closure, some satisfactory arrangement
must be had with the Roanoke Southern
bondholders.
The Yadkin Valley reorganization is
still delayed partly through the
inability to satisfy the claims of bond
holder and partly through disposition
TO wait awhile in the hope that the i'm
proved earnings of the property will
justify more advantageous terms than
at first proposed.

NEW YORK DEMOCRATS.

The New York Democratic State con
Yention will meet in Syracuse to-day.
The candidates to be nominated are as
follows: Secretary OF State. attorney
general. comptroller, treasurer, State
engineer and judge OF the court of ap-
pesls. Evidences Of slate are not vet
apparent, although it is believed that
Gen. Horatio c. King will head the
ticket.
The leading features of the platform,
which, 1t is believed, will ba adopted,
are as follows: Favoring State improve
ment of canals; declaring that the re-
turn Of prosperity in the country Is due
to the proper administration of national
affairs by Democrats and protesting
against any tAriff tinkerings; declaring
against the re enactment of any law
fimilar to the Sherman silver law; com /.
mending the administration OF President
Cleveland; pointing out the immense
expense incurred by SO called State in
vessigating com mittees and the saddling
OF probable additional taxes next year;
criticising the partisan Legislation in
dull ged in and the failure TO work the
reforms promised; arraigning the ad min
filtration Of Governor Morton for glazing
sins of omission and ON nilsson.

as in everything else. A law thai allows
the strong to Cypress the weak may in
the course of events be turned against
its originators with moro disastrous eff
fects than those at whom 1t was aimed.
Wrong can never be made right, no
matter by whom prac.iced, and sooner
or later, like the boo meraug, it will
come back 10 the placs from which it
started to curse its inventors. Short
cuts in business bring disaster in the
end and short cuts in politics will meet
the same fate. The plea Of expediency
no longer holds good. and the man who
urges the fear Of negro domination In
Virginia as an excuse for Irregularities
in elections insults the intelligence as
we'll as the honesty of the people. The
elections next November, whatever else
they determine, should stamp the seal
of Virginia's condemnation on anything
approaching dishonesty in elections,
and by restoring the ballot to it's old
time purity and fairness prove to the
world that the pauple of this grand old
commonwealth are fully in line with the
progressiveness of the times and with
all presidents and examples that mark

ners of freedom and the defenders Of
liberty.

GREATER RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
Different Views As to Its Attainment In
South America.

South America.
CHICAGO, Sept. 23-The Chicago
Methodist ministers, who have under
taken to secure, through the pope,
greater religious freedom for the
Protestants of Peru, Ecuador and
Bolivia, have, in response to circular
letters, received replies from Justin
Mccarthy and Algernon Charles Swim
burne at London.
The former writes .hat he feels no
doubt, whatever, that the influence I
the pope will be exercised in securing
for the Protestants in the South Ameri-
can republics the same liberty of con-
science that is enjoyed by Roman Cath-
Ollie citizens of the United States. The
latter says, among other thiDgs
ut seems to me g somewhat wanton
waste Of time to apply, indirectly or
directly, to cardinal or pope for any re-
Taxation or modification OF the most
monstrous claims ever put forward by
the church. Force, and force alone,
could obtain even a show of Justice
decency or fair play from the ministers
and agents Of religion which has never
yielded one jot OF its asrocious preten-
sone, except under sheer compulsicn or
absolute necessi,y"
