lieves in sound money or Interna-

ocracy on a higher plane than to
even imagine for moment that all
there is in Democracy can be bnsed
on single question. We will abide
the decision of the Chicago conven
ton, whether it may declare for
sound money or free coinage of sill
yer at n ratio of l8 to- l, but in tba
interest of our conhtry aud of our
party we hope there will lie no strad
die OF tho financial question. Let our
representatives say what the ISSUE
shall be, and then let us Aide by
their decision, whether we favor the
free coinage Of silver or whether we
believe in bimttaiism from nm inter.

stand by the party of the people, the
only party that ever truly looked after

FRIDAY, APRIL 8, 1896
NE STATE c0NYENTI0N.

There is great deal of talk these
days of what the Dem ocratic State
Convention should or ought not do
Ill Convenhoa with the financial
question. The proposition advanced
10y various papers throughout the
the State, that the convention ignore
the financial question, seems to us to
he good one. What is the use for
us to discuss the question, when the
Chicago Convention may declare con
trary to our wishes as expressed in
the State Convention, There is no
doubt in our mind that the Demo
Gratis of Virginia will vote the ticket
OF the old party ut. the election this
fall. let the candidate be an extreme
silver maniac or gold .buE. So what
is the dss for US to fight among cur
selves in the Convention 7 The
proper thing to do would be-. to iii

CONSTITUTIONAL c0NYEN-
TTOH.

The argument which reaches ones
pocket is the affective and conyinc
ing one. viii the fact that North
Carolina pays her. judges $4,000
per annum. as against ViLginia's ex
penditure of $l22,2OO have weight
with our people in deciding for or
against constitutional convention?
Will they be assisted by knowledge
OF the further fact that with the
above mentioned sums Virginia pays
126 judges an average salary of
1861 80 each to do the work which
IL done in, North Carolina by twenty
judges with an average salary of
$4,000 each? We think our people
are sufficiently Intelligent to appre
ciate u change which will save them
the neat little SUN of 1000 per
annum, and increase rather than i'm
pair the efficiency of our Judiciary.
Add to this that North Carolina
pays her Commonwealth Attorneys
$4,000 per year, while Virginia pays
SS4, 500; that North Carolina employs
sixteen to do the work which under
our system requires 1T; then say
whether or not change is desirable.
These are but two of the points
to be touched. There are many others
which will result in saving to our
tax payers of hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually.
There will be opposition to new
constitution. Certainly. OF course
the Office holders will squall-very
naturally. Equally OF course their
friends will take up the cry. That
need alarm no one. We shall also
hear the wall that it is plot to de
prive the poor, down trodden African
OF his vote. This will be but one OF
tue many specious arguments
brought against the plan Don't let
that worry you, either. Investigate
for yourself, and you will find that
the welfare ofyourself and your fell
low tax payers will be promoted by
the formulation of new constitution
for Virginia; one made by her friend,
and children. not &c xyae tho TTndar
