There were a considerable number OF
Democrats of intelligence and high stand
ing IN yesterdays convention, but we
cannot ooncede that any one OF them
MA. entitled 20 speak for the Demo-
Gratis of his city or town. In every IN
stance the delegates were chosen oy
small bodies OF voters. Richmond, Tor
instance. was represented by hfty-one
delegates who were elected at meet
ing numbering about one hundred.
Delegates from the country were Few
and FAR between. Indeed, it was con
venrlon where the country Democrats
were conspicuous by their absence. Inc
country which is the main support Q.
our marty in al Of its battles for suprem-
aev. therefore, may be said to have
had no Iot or part in the things done or
said at the Mozart Academy on yester
cay.
In no respect whatever did the con-
yention represent the Democratic party
Of virginia. and it Is mere buncombe 10
try 20 make the contrary appear
81 far from being representative of the
Democracy Of Virginia the convention
was bent upon promoting the election OF
Mckinley. The ticket put forth may
draw some votes from Bryan, and 10
that extent will aid Mckinley. In short
that IS what It has been put up for.
The plea that IT is an organization.
around which the party may reform VIII
no, DO. because but for the boiling OF
these gentlemen the party in Virginia
would have no need to reform"
And what will the Democrats of Nir-
cinia gain by the election Of Mckinney
V-W that bring better times? We think
not John Sherman says not. Mckinney
can only sell more bonds. and squabble
with the free-silver majority in the
senate for the next three years. So his
triumph promises no financial relief.
Then. why should any Virginia Democrat
wish 10 see Mckinley elected? Is 1t be-
cause we want to honor man who as
o,etcd sheridan in his campaign OF plum
der murder and arson in the Shenan-
doah Valley? u It because we approve
~ b,r force bin record? Is It because
divided Democracy will be beneficial 10
our party In our state and local politics?
Is n because we wish 70 put ourselves IN
antagonism TO agricultural NirginiaY IL
not in Heavens name. what can we
cain by helping 10 elect McKipley2
We do not underrate the Importance Oh
this movement 10 divide the Democracy
OF virginia. out we cannot believe II VIII

A SINGULAR CASE.
A Young Man Voluntarily Goes 10
nm Insane Asylum.


SUFFOLK. VA. August G.--(Special.)-
Mr.. John II. Poyner, young man VINO
clerked for Messrs. Il. l.. Folk a. Co.. oil
Suffolk. left town Tuesday morning ias''
leaving the key to the store ana o'hef
things belonging to this firm, and stated
i'm a note he had gone for good, but did
not give any reason why. To-day Mayor
Y. l.. Brewer, Jr., received n telegram
from the authorities OF the Williamsburg
asylum. stating that he had applied Tor
admission into that institution voluh-
tarlly. and said he was an insane person
of suicidal intent, and they desired 10
know II he lived here. a response was
made that he did live here, and the cir
cumstances of his leaving were related.
He is nice young man OF exceieh'
character. though even his friends con-
sidered him peculiar in some respects
NO POWER TO TAKE HIM.
A special to the Dispatch from VIII
Harrisburg. received last night. says:
Or. Moncure listened patiently TO Poy-
ner's sorrowful story, and then informed
the young man that he had no power TO
receive him as an inmate OF the institu-
ton unless he was regularly committed;
but that he would take care of him for
the night. which he did. An effort viii
be made ~ get a commission 10 examine
into his case, and If he Is found insane,
to commit him 10 the care OF the hos
pital authorities. The case excited con-
siderable sympathy among those who saw
the young man and witnessed HIS earnest
effort to have something done for himself,
knowing and feeling that he was fast
losing his sef-control.

President Cleveland Is in full accord
with the Sound Money Democratic Con-
vention to be held in indianapolis, and
he will take occasion, as soon as that
body places its ticket in the field. TO give
10 the country a ringing endorsement OF
its action, accompanied by call TO
every loyal Democrat to support that
ticket. Some of the Presidents friends,
and those who are taking an active part
I'm the Indianapolis movement, urged him
10 come out with his declaration TO the
country before that convention, but after
consultation with several members Of his
Cabinet and a few personal friends, he
concluded that IL was wiser to wait.-The
Washington Post.
When Mr.. Cleveland's letter on this
subject appears, no matter how strong It
may be. a sufficient answer to IT by the
Democrats will be the publication along
side of IL of his letter TO Clark Howell.
In the Howell letter. written in 1892,
and intended TO placate the free silver
Democrats and others who were disap-
pointed at the action Of the National
Democratic Convention, Mr. Cleveland
eleouently preached the doctrine that it
was the duty of all. Democrats to abide
bv the "arbtrament" of the National
Democratic Convention. But now, when he
is on the losing side, ii appears that he
isn't going to abide. All, well. his letter
will abide with us at any rate.

occasional" writing TO the Richmond
Times from Charlottesville, complains
that our Charlottesville correspondent
stated that only 200 voters attended "the
sound-money" meeting there, whereas
about 400 were present No doubt, our
correspondent distinguished between those
who were present as participants and
those who were present as spectators
merely But this wen say, that if the
University and the city of Charlottesville
turhed out 400 voters on that occasion, the
number was exactly four times as large
as Richmond turned out for the like pur-
pose. Here about 100 boiling Democrats
elected Richmond's ffty-one delegates in
the Boilers State convention.

There are evidently more things in
Marion Buffers mind than are dreamt of
in the Popullstlc philosophy. The Peoples
Party chairman is now credited with the
idea Of proposing to the Democracy the
taking down Of both Sewall and Watson,
and the substitution for the two Of Justice
Walter Clark, Of the Supreme Court OF
North Carolina. who, IT is said, Butler
will claim to be acceptable TO both Popu-
lists and Democrats. We do not know
how true this story may be or how far
Mr.. Butler may be right in the contention
attributed to him, but we do know that
Judge Clark is highly intelligent patri-
otto. and progressive citizen, though he
goes a little farther than we think IS
wise on the silver question and in some
other matters of public concern.
This much we feel at liberty to say
without giving the slightest approval or
countenance to the proposition to take
down Sewall
