The Democratic Convention.

On tomorrow the Democratic State
Convention will meet in this city. 1t
will be the first body of the kind to as
semble here since Henry A. Wise was
nominated in 1856. II there live any
persons who came as delegates then
and who will come now. they will no.
tice va st change in Staunton since
that day. 1t is true the railroad had
linked this town-a struggling country
village-with Richmond, but most of
the delegates must have come on stage
lines. in private conveyances, and on
horseback. The hall in which the
convention was held must have been
small one, and the accommodations
meager. In all things have we i'm
proved upon those days except in men,
and whilst the Democratic party Of
today in Virginia prides itself in DOS
sessing the brain and Drawn, the in
ergy and integrity equal to that of
any people or State, it is no dispar
agement to say that the people who
controlled the destinies of Virginia
when the last Dem ocratic Convention
met here, were the equal of any bred
upon her soil before or since. 1t is to
be hoped that in all of the conven-
tion's counsels there may be unanimity
for therein is strength, that there may
be wisdom, that the public good may
be subserved and subordinated to all
else, and that the people of Virginia
may be assured of the ability and fl
deity and patriotism of the men whom
they will entrust with the important
duty of naming a candidate for Presi
dent of the United States.
1t is the hope also of the SPECTATOR
that our friends from the county will
look in upon the Convention, and meet
the men who hold and WELD the at.
fairs of the State.

The Democratic National Convention.

For the past half century, the demo
cratic party, in it's National conven-
tions, has adopted the two-thirds' rule
in making It's nominations for Presi
dents and Vice Presidents, and it has
worked well for their success, though
it has defeated prominent and able
men. 1t is now a question whether
the Chicago convention will adopt that
rule, as the silver men and the sound
money men in that convention will
be SO nearly equally divided that, if
the two thirds rule shall be adopted,
there will probably be deadlock, as
neither will be likely to yield sufficient
ly to secure a nomination under that
rule. and as it is within the power of a
simple majority to adopt the majority
rule, it is probable that the presidents
of a half century will be set aside, and
the majority rule be adopted.

A Clear Evasion.

Does Mr.. Valz consider his reply to ,
question No. 1. made in the NeaDS OF
5he 9th instant an answer to that
question? The question was not who
is the Staunton Granolithic Paving
Co. but who has been. Will Mr.. Valz
explain why when bidding for work at
Harrisonburg. he told the government
that he and Capt. .McQuaide were the
Co., and now says he alone is the Co.?
When did Capt. McQuaide get outs
Does he assert that he stated to the
government in December, 1898. that
the Staunton Granolithic Paying Com
pany was composed of A. M. Valz and
and John McQuaide, and that the
statement was untrue. This question
is just as important now as it was
before the election, and recent events
have called public attention particular
ly to that Harrisonburg statement. 1t
needs explanation.
What the Democrats Should Do?
If the free silver idea is sufficiently
strong to carry the Chicago conven
ton for that metal, there shoulo
be no straddling. The issue shoulo
be met like men. The country shoul(
have no doubtful candidates. TIT
demand for free silver should be com
piled with fully, adequately, ant
unequiyocally, and men who measure
up to the full standard in the issu'
should be nominated. The issue o
gold or silver should be made clear
pointed, and very sharp, and it be a
once determined whether the countr'
wants gold or silver, and put at res
and forever all donbt on this question
There is now no time to talk bl
metalism. There is now no one VIII
will listen to any statesman VIII
undertakes to say he is for both gol
and silver. There are no straddle
bugs who will have place in eithe
party. The question is, Are you TO
iGOLD, or Are you for SILVER?
To meet this issue, if the Chicag
convention declares for silver, TIL
party should nominate Senator Henri
NJ. Teller of Colorado, for Presiden
and Senator John W. Daniel, for Vic'
President.
This seems to be what consistenc
would demand on the part of thoe
who consider the determination of
; single question more important tina
the preservation of the Democrat
party. But that is not the view ente
tanned by the SPECTATOR whic
desires the success and perpetuatio
of the democratic party, and whic
places such success above any an
every other thing that should occup
; the democratic mind. Policy is on
thing principle, another.

Gladness Comes

With better understanding OF the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
