SHALL WE ADOPT THE UNIT RULE.

The Louisa County News is one Of the
most earnest and advanced champions Of
lG-to-1 independent free coinage that we
find among our Virginia exchanged
Speaking Of the State Democratic Con.
venton, we find it saying: I'VE want
a solid free-silver delegation sent TO Chi
cago. If we can't get a solid free-slyer
delegation, we must have a majority at
least Of the delegates. and this majority.
or the unit rule. must voice the sentiment
Of Virginia" The News. usually amiable
and generous. then breaks forth with the
following proposition: 1.-THE minority OF
our delegates In the Chicago convention
must have no vote. Let the fight be made
at Staunton, and If the majority OF dele
gates are gold-bugs. then the minority or
free-silyer men shall have no vote, and
vice versa. Let us uphold the unit rule.
Virginia is for free silver by large ma
jority, and We must see to 1t that no gold
delegation, nor any part OF 1t. be sent
TO Chicago"
We cannot say hat we favor the propo-
sition of the News. We do not think It
would be productive Of good feeling In our
party in Virginia, but the contrary.
II, for instance. the free-slver men
have a clear majority in the convention,
they can, of course, select the four dele
gates for the State at large. And then
in each congressional district delegation
in which they have a majority they can
get two more delegates.
III 60
Chicago might be a linked delegation"
it would be a delegation truly representa-
tive Of the sentiments OF the people OF
Virginia, because it would provide for
minority representation; because, too, 1t
would follow our usual custom.
The fact that the News urges the adop-
ton of the unit rule is a confession, as
we view IL, that the unconditional free
silver men are not so Overwhelmingly
strong as the News would like to see
them. However this may be, when We
get to stanton, let US all confer as
brethren. Let us so act as to preserve
the harmony of our party as far as it is
possible for us to do so.
The unit rule is not what our people
have been accustomed to, and for the
oddities 10 attempt 10 crowd it down the
threats Of the sIlverites. or for the silver
ties to attempt TO crowd IL down the
threats of the oddities at Staunton might
disturb the harmony Of the party, and
make us an easy prey to the Republicans
In November next.
The fact is that in the primary meetings
now soon to occur, and In the State con-
vention at stanton. Democrats ought 10
be uncommonly careful and conservative;
the majority should be considerate OF the
opinions and feeling Of the minority, and
then the minority will have no cause of
complaint against the majority. In no
other way that We know Of can we pre-
serve party unity In Virginia and in the
Union

THE n. v. REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

The Republican State Convention of
New York adopted on Tuesday last an
oid-fashioned Republican platform. A
tariff for protection and the gold standard
of values. including opposition to the free
coinage OF silver at ratio Of Is to ], are
the most important subjects named In
that platform The Mckinley men had
forced the protection issue upon the Re-
publlcans, and so they ignored the large
multiplication minority in New York
and declared as follows:
"The Republicans of New York. in con-
vention assembled, again declare their
firm and unyielding adherence to the doc
trine of protection 10 American industries
protection to the products of the Amerl-
can farm, and protection to American
labor We are in favor OF a tariff which,
while providing an Income Sufficient 10
meet the expenses of the government
honestly and economically administered
will at the same time secure home labor
and home capital from unequal foreign
connection. We believe I'm a reciprocity
with other nations which shall give our
producers and manufacturers an oppor-
tunity TO dispose Of their surplus products
and TO obtain articles we desire from those
countries on the most advantageous
terms"
This is a happily-worded declaration.
and reflects credit upon the man who
penned it.
But the declaration on the silver ques-
ton is what the people Of Virginia feel
most interest in, and so we again print
it-as follows:
''The agitation for the free coinage OF
silver at the ratio of l6 to l seriously
disturbs all industrial interests. and calls
for clear statement Of the Republican
party's attitude upon this question. to the
end that the trade of this country at
home and abroad may again be placed
upon sound and stable foundation.
eve recognize i'm the movement for the
free coinage of silver an attempt to de-
grade the long and broad standard of our
monetary system. and hence a blow 10
public and private credit, at once costly
to the National Government, and harmful
TO our domestic and foreign commerce.
we have all along been of the opinion
that the Republican National Convention
would take on the silver question the
position assumed in the anti-slver para
graphs quoted above. New York has now
set the pace, and all New England and
all the Middle States will follow her ex-
ample. The silver States of the far West
may gang their own gait" The Republi-
can party cannot afford to be led astray
on so important n doctrine.
The Morton men stand thus upon
clearly-expressed declaration against free
silver coinage. VIII Mckinley do like
wise? The sore place of the Morton men
in New York was twice pointed out in
their State convention-frst. when. amidst
much applause. one delegate said that
mo Republican has any monopoly OF pro-
lection" and. second, when another dele
gate declared that. mo man whose repu-
tation rests upon the exploitation Of
single idea is fit to be President"
If the Republican National Convention
shall adopt an unmistakably-worde
creed, they will force the issue Of sound
money to a settlement.

General Gordon's fame as an orator is

good speaker, and a writer OF uncommon
force and gracefulness. His position as
president Of the state Agricultural Col

natural inclinations have made him
student OF history, and particularly of

Tn the United States Senate on Tues
day Mr. Mills was recognized in support
Of the Cuban resolution introduced by
him on Monday. He said the people OF
Cuba had far greater claims on the
United States than mere recognition of
belligerency Cuba was part of the
Western Hemisphere, over which the
Monroe doctrine extended the influence
of this country. Mr.. Mills declared that
the Monroe doctrine was the law OF pro-
lection, and as such God was the author
Of it. Cuba stood as the key to the
Gulf. "The day will come" said Mr..
Mills when the American conscience
will be aroused TO its guilt in permitting
the oppression OF Cuba. and when that
consciousness comes the American people
will fill this chamber with senators who
will stop that oppression"
This is an interesting subject, but the
Jingoes do not appear TO be any more
jealous now than they were several weeks
ago. The Republicans of New York in
their State convention of Tuesday, ig-
nored the subject altogether. lrterna-
tional law has done good service for
Spain.

A Chicago Woman and Her Young Nephew
Elope-A Double Tragedy Follows.
CHICAGO, Nov 4.-Mrs. Annie Shrie-
Der, aged %, and her nephew, lad of
IA, on Monday eloped from their homes
in this city. The elopement was ia
consequence of the discovery of letter
written by the aunt to the boy, Bruno
Mike, for which she was upbraided by
her husband. Mrs. Schrieber later left
home, inducing the lad to accompany
her, and leaving word for her husband
that she intended to kill Bruno and
herself.
Yesterday morning word was re-
ceived from Elgin that the boy had
been found dead on the sidewalk in
that city, shot through the head and
heart, and the woman is now at the
point of death in the Elgin hospital,
with bullet wounds in the eye and
breast. The shooting was done with

A Crisis at Hand.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. 4.-Cubau
leaders here and in Key West declare
that they have reliable information
that the relations of the United States
and Spain have reached crisis and
that developments of great interna-
tional Importance in regard to Cuba
may be expected within the next
month. Advices from Havana are to
the effect that the departure of Consul
General Lee for Washington was
caused by the crisis and that his report
to President Cleveland will be of such
a character that it will almost certain
ly result in action being taken by the
United States 1t is understood that
the case of the Competitor prisoners
was the cause of Lees departure.
