..r,,rnsa down" by the majority OF
Rlchmond's delegation In the Lesis'a-
tire our businessmen are now prePhr-
Coo, 20 apneal TO their acknowledgements
1T the primary which Is to be he'u j"
May next. Night before last more IMAM
a hundred businessmen met together
TO take counsel as to the situation, ana
10 arrange a plan of operations.
I, is Objected that the public was
NOT invited TO this meeting: but we OBJ
serve that the only part OF the public
that is making any objection on TINS
score is that part that would have liked
to be present TO throw flrebrands into
the conference.
The men who are organizing this
movement are the men who pleaded
for the right of the Democrats OF
Richmond to vote upon the charter
amendments-not the men who aided In
silencing the public voice-and our peo-
pie may be sure that they are going
10 take the publlc--the Democratic
public-into their confidence. Yes: that
they are. They are going TO try to en-
list in their cause every Democrat who
wishes 10 see our city government ad-
mnistered by our best men. So, the IN
vitations 10 Democrats will be quite
general: and the company will be very
great we doubt not.
Much complaint has been made that
our businessmen have not for many
years taken an active part In politics.
Doubtless, there has been cause for TINS
complaint. But now they mean ito take
a hand" They are inexperienced in this
sort of business and they may be par
doned for wishing TO confer together in
private once or twice before rushing out
into the open to meet the organized
bands that are waiting and willing
to swallow them up.
Such a contest as now seems certain at
the primary might have been avoided
IL the Richmond delegation in the
Legislature had secured for the voters
of this city the privilege of voting upon
the proposed charter amendments; but
that privilege having been denied us.
small wonder II is that the business COM
munity have resolved TO make an APP
peal to their brother Democrats to come
TO their aid and help them put forth
strength which will be influential In the
approaching primary election.
If the charter amendments had been sub
mitted. it awas well understood that they
were to be first passed upon by Demo-
cratic primary. And so we are not sur
prised to find that this movement is TO
he n movement altogether within the
party ranks.

THE NEW YORK MOVEMENT.

The New York Chamber OF Commerce
has begun in earnest the fight in behait
of sound money and against the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio OF 10 10 l.
We are not sure that it was good policy
in that body to lead off in this hght,
seeing that it affords so good an oppor-
tunity to raise the cry that Wall street
is trying to rule the country. The reader
will see. however. that the movement Of
the New York Chamber of Commerce
is not in favor of recognizing either of
the great parties as the peculiar friends
and advocates of sound money, or, to
be plain. of the gold standard, but in
favor of proceeding at once 10 secure
control of both the national conventions
to such an extent as to insure the laying
down Of platforms upon which all the
friends Of gold standard in both parties
can stand. Here is one of the resolutions
which tell what our New York financial
readers are i'm favor Of. We quote:
Therefore. we ask all citizens 10 unite
in a vigorous effort TO urge the selection
Of delegates to the political conventions
Of both great parties who VIII advocate
clear and distinct platform utterances IN
favor Of the maintenance of the present
gold standard of value. The time Is
short and action ought. therefore. 70 be
all the more prompt and determined"
All of the resolutions adopted by the
New York Chamber of Commerce are
modest and unobjectionable. so far as
such utterances could well be. The
burthen of them is a request that the
national conventions of both parties shall
adopt unequivocal and unambiguous reso-
lutions on the silver question, which in
Guides the gold question
There is but one road that leads out
of the financial troubles which environ
this country, and that is the free coinage
Of silver at a ratio 10 be agreed upon
by the commercial nations of the world.
But so far no country. not even the
United States. has shown any disposition
to walk in that path.
Here Is another Of the resolutions
adopted on Thursday by the New York
Chamber of Commerce We quote:
"The time is past. II 1t ever existed,
for any hating. doubtful phrasing, 10
express the meaning of political parties
upon this important subject. We must
have no platforms that can be inter
preted to mean one thing in one part of
the land and another thing in another
part Of the land"
not interfere with the platform of either
party on any other question than the
money question.

THE DELAWARE CASE.

The question now pending before the
United States Senate as to whether
Mr.. Dupont. of Delaware, is entitled to
a seat in that body is both new and in
terestlng. Though the government is
more than a hundred years old, this
question never before came up for de-
cislon. Here is the case as II is pre-
scented in the newspapers:
at seems that in the Delaware joint
Assembly on the 9th Of May. 1895. Mr..
Dupont received fifteen votes out OF "A
total of thirty cast But as 10 one Of
the thirty votes. IL is contended on the
part of Mr.. Dupont that IL was Illegal
and void, having been cast by Mr.. Wat
son. a senator who had, on the death
OF the Governor, succeeded TO that office.
and who could not, as claimed by the
Republican members Of the Committee
on Privileges and Elections, legally or
constitutionally act as senator. In that
case, the total legal vote cast being
only twenty-nine, Mr.. Dupont would
have received majority, and would be
entitled TO seat i'm the Senate.
1.-THE contention on the part OF the
Democratic members OF the committee
Is that the exercise of the duties Of
Governor by Mr.. Watson did not diyest
him OF his rights az state senator,
and that. at all events. that was ques-
ton to be determined by the Senate Of
Delaware. and not by the Senate OF the
United States"
II is no doubt for the United States
Senate to decide the question, seeing
that each house OF Congress is by the
Federal Constitution made the judge Of
the elections. qualifications, and returns
OF It's own members. But it is the duty
OF the Senate TO decide the question

COME PERTINENT PROPOSITIONS.

The Richmond Dispatch ehuiheId'SS
four propositions which 1t RECOMMENDS
TO the Democratic party in the appoint
ment of delegates to the state coiVeh-
ton, as follows: -,
That the Democrats cannot posi-
bly, carry Virginia next IAN IL tHcS i"'~
out the silverites.
That The Democrats cannot possibly
carry Virginia next fall If they rule out
the sound-money men.
3. That the DemocIatic party cannot
possibly elect the next President OF the
limited States without the aid ana CO.
operation Of the sound-money men.
q That the Democratic party cannot
nossihlv elect the next President of the
United States without the aid and CO.
operation Of the free-silver-coinage Demo-
Gratis. orr.
The Register would recommend a fifth
proposition:
The Democrats cannot possibly carry
Virginia nor the United States on
makeshift. compromise currency plank;
and even II they could. the inevitable
fight over the construction of the mean
ingless straddle must soon come
The question that suggests itself TO
thoughtful men is this: Shall the Demo-
Gratis settle the matter for themselves
I'm party council by the time-honored
Democratic principle of majority rule. or
shall il postpone the battle to the next
Congress and weary the people with a
tedious. undemocratic wrangle?-The
Danville Register.
We say settle It in party councils by
the ime-honored Democratic principle
of majority rule.
Whatever utterances are made by the
State Democratic Convention or by the
National Democratic Convention on the
currency question, or on any other ques-
tion. ought to be made In candid,
clear. and explicit language.
We do not favor straddle. or any
thing like a stradde. We are of the
opinion that, without international CO.
operation It would be folly for
this country to hope to preserve
the parity of the two metals. and make
the coinage of silver free at any such
ratio as 16 to /. We have held this view
ever since the closing OF the mints
OF India to silver. and reflection con-
yInces us that il is the only correct view.
But we would have our free-silver
friends and our sound-money friends con-
Sl0erdte OF tne letlliiSs hi4d oP4iiiOiiS Va
one another, so that the minority may
be willing to submit with good grace
TO the Judgment Of the majority. To
this end. persuasion would be more eff
fective than rdicule: appeals to the me-
mories OF the past more profitable than
threats TO bolt.
1t is, therefore. Of the greatest con-
sequence. we think, that in the reso-
lutions that may be passed by the State
Democratic Convention and by the Ma
tional Democratic Convention there should
be used no language abusive Of fellow
Democrats, and that no threats should be
made.
In short, our four propositions should
be kept In mind, and we should seek
TO convince, not condemn, our brothers
who differ with us
