manner OF holding ali our popular cleo

now I'm any true sense Of the wordY
think the only reform for the evils ana
abuses Of present elections, I'm which per-
Jury. fraud. sham. and Justification carry
the day, Is a return 10 the old Virginia
plan OF voting by the living voice; under
which every citizen stands erect before
the face OF the country and declares viva
voce his choice for office amongst candl-
dates sitting before him.
The secret ballot Is a northern innoya-
ton. designed 20 foster cowardice and
chicancry, and necessarily productive OF
all the evils Of our present election sys-
TEN. Let us discard II In Virginia. ban
ish 1t TO It's native and congenial regions,
and allow every voter OF Virginia, black
and white. to enjoy the privilege due to
the freeman OF announcing and proclaim
ing his vote with mis- own lips ana
voice.
There Is scarcely a voter in the state
whose political position Is not known 70
his neighbors. and IL Is as wei known
how every man is going to vote IN an
election as how h. sympathizes In MS
politics. The secret ballot covers with
no secrecy the vote which he gives us
character is known beforehand. and the
secret ballot gives either no protection
at all. or gives a protection which the
voter does not need or desire. Every
citizen endowed with the elective nan
chse ought 10 have the courage OF his
convictions and be allowed to vote those
convictions in the open day.
The secret ballot has degenerated INTO
a means Of fraud, and affords no protec-
ton TO the voter.
II the calling Of a convention should
have no other object and result than
that Of restoring the viva voce vote ban
ishlng the secret ballot. and thereby puri-
flying and ennobling our now corrupt
and degraded elections, it would be a
blessing to the State.

Tn. E.,, of Prices.

President Andrews. OF Brown Cniver-
slty. made last month before the Manu-
focturers' Club, Of Philadelphia, an adj
dress on the subject Of the fall or
prlces. Senator Cockrell has published
II as a congressional document In this
address. President Andrews assumes that
what the country, or we might say the
world. has experienced during the last
twenty years, has been reduction IN
selling prices. This proposition the New
York Journal OF Commerce Is not Will
ing to accept as true. That paper ar
CUES that there are overwhelming rea-
sons for believing that these reduced
selling prices are chiefly due to reductions
in the cost OF production and transpor-
tation. THE cost OF transportation on
land and water has fallen one half or
two thirds within the period named by
President Andrews"
But our New York contemporary asks
DR.. Andrews whether the world is not
now readjus,lng itself 20 an era OF low
prices, and whether 1t would not be bet
ter TO allow the readjustment to work
itself out than to resort to violent and
artificial remedies? This would be
going to the root Of the matter with
vengeance But are the masses OF the
people likely to agree 10 walt for prices
TO adjust themselves? VIII they consent
TO any readjustment Of prices which shall
assume that the present low prices are
10 be continued Indefinitely? How Will
the workingmen know when the bottom
has been reached?
President Andrews Is a sincere we'll
wlsher OF the Industrial classes. He IS
even blmetallist. But, though he gene
rally seems to have an unclouded vision
when he addresses himself to such ques-
tions as those now under consideration
amongst the people of all Christendom
yet that vision is necessarily more or
less affected by the circumstances which
surround him. For instance, bimetallism
Is advocated by President Brown,
though most OF its advocates expect 1t
to bring about an era Of higher not TO
say high, prices. Can he expect the BIZ
metallists TO work for a readjustment
of prices on the present low plane?
President Andrews says that after
prices have adjusted themselves to a
lower level there may be as much pros
perity as there was during a previous
era of high prices. That is to say, If a
workingman's pay for two days enabled
him to buy last year a barrel Of -four,
and his pay for two days VIII enable him
to buy barrel of -four this year. and
the same readjustment shall have taken
place in regard 10 all other prices, then
he is as well off now as he was be-
fore the readjustment had been accom-
plshed But there are too many con-
tingencies here-too many ifs"
We must add. in justice to President
Andrews, that he does not believe that
the United States Government can OF
itself fully remonetize silver. In other
words, he is a conservative bimetallist.

Morfou's. Little Room.

Governor Levi r. Morton, Of New York,
who is spoken OF as popular man, with
fine health" and large 'bar'l," is being
doomed for the presidential nomination.
1t is noticeable that his fine health is
being referred to at a time when the
like claim cannot be set up for Mr.. Har-
rison.
We dare say that Mr.. Morton will cause
the other candidates for the Republican
nomination a good deal of uneasiness. II
Is Of record. we believe. that whenever
he levels his ''bar'r' 1t rarely fails to
bring down the game. BY this we mean
that II may secure him the Republican
nomination. We don't concede that a
Republican win be our next President

point public expectation when they under

probabilities are that the free-s:lver''

Judge Hughes on yiva-voce Voting.


To the Editor of the Dispatch;
I think the movement for convention
to reform the State Constitution is in dan
ger Of dragging and failing for want OF
purposes urgent and weighty enough
TO overbalance the cost and trouble Of
holding IT,
The Underwood Constitution Is an ex-
otto transplanted 10 Virginia from New
York, and in many OF its features poorly
adapted to the social and political condi-
tions OF our people, and out OF harmony
with all our traditions. habits and pre-
elections.
1t ought to be modified in many re-
spects; but one OF the greatest evils or
our times is too much legislation and too
much demagogy In its enactment. II Is
this surfeit OF ili-advised legislation which
makes our voters either hesitatlng or
lukewarm in voting for the call OF con-
vention.
am one OF those who think that a
convention ought TO be called. but / do
not ind that the reasons which occur to
nanslusivs la fa favor ave those

The Truth Confessed.

The following, from the Boston Herald.
Is not consistent with the theory gener-
ally accepted in the North, where there
are few persons of either party who
believe that the States after the close
OF the revolution regarded themselves
as distinct nationalities. The Herald says:
"The theory OF our government was
equal representation. The variation from
this in the Senate came from the fact
that the States. after the close OF the
revolution, regarded themselves as dis
tinct nationalities."
However. the Herald's additional the
DRY is that we changed all that" when
we went into the Union.

ALL THE EVILS

that stalked abroad in these United States
and indeed the world over, and the sharp
Wall-street manipulatOrs who secretly
and really were prompted by their gold
bug desires for a Sound money candi-
date, took advantage OF this popular fall
lacy and made the rest OF the country
believe that Mr.. Cleveland, the great and
only tariff reformer, was the only Moses
to lead them out OF the wilderness Of Nc
kinleyism. So pronounced did this erratlc
opinion become that the Democrats or
Texas, Nebraska, Tennessee, and other
States declared in their State conventions
for the free coinage OF silver. and then
In the same breath instructed their dele
gates to Chicago 10 vote for Mr.. Cleve-
land. whom they knew 20 be opposed 70
free coinage, and SO fully did this idea
take possession OF the Cleveland men at
Chicago that this writer sat in that con-
vention and saw men who, and whose
States, were unaltersbly In favor OF free
coinage. vote dowl vocitarously and over
whelmngly an amendment to make the
silver plank in the platform unequlvocal
and plain by inserting the words free
coinage" therein. not because they were
opposed 10 It. but because Mr.. Cleveland
and his manipulators did not want II In

his chances Of election. But
SUCH A DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
will never again assemble in these United
States. It's action taught the Democratic
party a bitter lesson which 1t will not
soon forget and II every true Democrat
and true friend to silver will go to work
on that line, then when the conventions
OF the party meet. In the South and West
at least, they will declare unhesitatingy
and unequlvocally for the free coinage
OF silver, and will instruct their dele
gates 10 vote for no man who Is not
known TO be bimetallist and who will
not pledge himself to the free coinage OF
silver. This done and there is no need
