RICHMOND VA, November THE
nd-Morsy League OF Virginia has
opened permanent headquarters here, and
will begin at once it's fight TO capture
Virginia in the State election next year.
It is said that the sound-money Demo-
Gratis will fuse with the Republicans and
make the issue reform Of the election
laws. A part of the programme is to
bring General Fitzhugh Lee out as cam
didate for Governor or to succeed John
w. Daniel in the Senate. Lee will be in
Richmond next week. His intimate friends
here think he will decline. All but two
Of the twenty hold-over senators are
Democrats and Daniel men.-The Alex

Fitz Lee knows thing or two about
politics, and when the "sound-money'
Democrats of Richmond undertake TO
pump" him on the question of next
years canvass, well bet that he answers
them in the Spanish language. SO far,
the General has found that language very
useful TO him in answering questions that
never ought TO have been asked. Our
own guess. however. is that the coali-
tionists will have to search out some
other man than Fitzhugh Lee 10 serve
their purpose. We had supposed that the
friends OF General James A. Walker
would insist upon his having the guberna-
torlal nomination. 1t has been more than
suspected that the General has aspira-
lions towards the executive office.

iANfIlhb NDiiNsf
The flag of Democracy has never been
disgraced by shielding the counterfeit
Democracy OF the Times. and the Nc
Kinley organ of Virginia IS not yet the
people OF Virginia. When the Democratic
party permits the Richmond Times TO
write its platform II will regain the con-
fidence Of the peOple-otherwise the
Richmond Times. The party in Virginia
is In no danger OF losing the confidence
Of the public. If we may Judge from the
returns OF Tuesdays election. and the
aid OF the Richmond Times and the cor
porations and money influences are rot
essential TO maintaining its supremacy.
There is now no reason to fear that those
who have turr ed their backs on the
party and It's principles, when allied
with all the ignorance and venality Of the
Republican party, will be able TO wrest
Virginia from the control OF the genuine
Democracy. The Times IS out OF the
party, and il will hardly be permitted to
sneak In again at the back door. II It
finds Itself in disagreeable company the
