The Dispatch had hoped that there
would be an interval Of peace and quiet
allowed the people Of Virginia before
the Inauguration Of the gubcrnatorial
and senatorial campaign. But no mat
tcr-if our opponents VIII have it other
wise. we are content. II there's to be
another fight. we wish TO be
counted in.-Richmond Dispatch.
Tho above observation by our Rich
mond contemporary was provoked by
the ill-naturcd clattcr which the Rich
mond Times has been Keeping up since
the election, IN charging the Demo
cratic party of Virginia with fraud ut
the recent elections. and Threatening
United States Senator Daniel with de-
feat next fall. Like the Dispatch, we
had supposed that the election was over
for the time. and acting upon the earn
est personal appeals and kindly sugees-
ti0ns of friends on both sides, the News
has tried TO restrain rescntments and
bring back the attention of the people
TO business. But If the other
side propose TO perpetuate ami
uositics. and continue the fight. the
News will enlist for the war again. IL
It Is true that The Richmond Times
proposes TO form a permanent alliance
with the Republican party Of Virginia
for the purpose Of vindicating imaginary
wrongs 10 the negroes of the black
belt. and for the further purpose Of op-
posing the educational qualification in
our electoral system, the sooner the fact
is Known, the better. We 20 not believe
The Richmond Times can enlist one
tenth Of the men who trained with it On
the money question i'm its crusade for
negro domination; but If it thinks so. let
it proceed with the task. and we shall
see who will win the fight-Lynchburg
News.
1t seems TO us that among reputable
gentlemen and fair-minded newspaper ed
itors, this manner Of misstatement is Gull
pable We have repeatedly stated that
there could be no alliance whatever be-
tween The Times and the Republican
party; and as for "perpetuating animosi-
ties" every man in this State must know
that last of all things does The Times
desire TO 10 that
That there have been frauds. even in
the election just past, these gentlemen
must know. for they are well informed:
and The Times does not ask who has
been defrauded it only holds tenaciously
TO the .ndsputable position that fraud
is wrong, and no good can come of vic
tories won at the expense Of common
honesty.
The Times pleads for purity among our
people 1t stands for principles above
expcdiency, and L revolts at the thought
that honorable editors could be driven
by partisan zeal into an unworthy rep
resentation of its position.

a FAD l.NCIIANGI-

In 1892 when Grover Cleveland was
carried triumphantly into the White
House by the Democratic party, upon
platform Of real Democracy, tho solid
South was supported by Connecticut,
New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Mary
land. West Virginia, and Kcntucky-aH
true and tried democratic States.
Besides these, there were the variable
State of MISUNDERSTANDING Democratic.
sometimes Republican-and :ae Repub-
lican States Of Illinois. Wisconsin. and
California. for the first time found in
the Democratic column.
With such a phalanx. the Democracy
soemel in.renched and secure. But, UNI
der an evil leadership, The party ac-
cepted a revolutionary platform and
a Populistic Ieader-and what was the
result?
Not single one OF the States
named stood ~ the solid South. Even
those which had never failed in her
darkest hour to give unstinted aid and
comfort TO the PROSTATE South. now
abandoned her. and she was left in the
mortitying position Of having given up
her old and tried friends I'm exchange for
Kansas Nebraska. Colorado. Utah, Ne
vada. Montana, Washington. and Wyo-
ming-a combination Of silver-miners and
PoDulsts.
No Southern Democrat can contem-
plate this exchange Of our old friends
for the States OF PETER. sockless simp-
son, and the land of Brigham Young. and
not see the great folly we have been
guilty Of.
Bad however, as the case IS. It IS not
irreparable. The platform Of 1896 must
be repented of, and never referred 10
except as a warning. There is no rca-
son why Southern Democrats. acsnowl-
edging the bitter failure Of the Popullst-
&c free-silver combination, should not.
as the huntsmen say. "hark back" 10
the trail they lost, and take up the
principles of 1892 and make a fresh start.

we print elsewhere to-day an Official
table Of nearly every city and county
showing Democratic and Republican
gains and losses respectively in the seve-
raj counties Of Virginia in the late cleo
ton.
1t will be seen that in the white coun-
ties OF the State. there were Republican
gains Of $3.50. while in the black dis
iricts. where the negroes voted almost TO
Ia man for Mckinley, there were Repub-
lican losses Of GIG.
We make comparison Of the vote OF
some Of these black-belt counties
with the vote of 1855. the figures
are still more startling.
Take a few examples: Nansemond
county, which gave a Republican major
ity of 7Oi in 1SSS. gave a Democratic Of
2is in 1896. northampton changed from
2n Republican to go Democratic; North
CUMBERLAND from 81 Republican to Is
Democratic: Nottoway. (Mr. Epes's coun-
ty) from sos Republican 10 4G1 Democrat
&c: Prince George. from 3j7 Republican 10
Republican TO leS Democratic. Southamp-
ton from so Republican TO 800 Democrat
&c. Brunswick from 22S Republican TO 500
Democratic; Dinwddie. from S,5 Repub-
lican to 2i9 Democratic. the little county
Of Essex. from 3li Republican to 400 Dom
ocratic; Fluvanna from 7S5 Republican
10 20 Democratic; Hcnrico. from Goa Re-
publican 10 I'll Democratic, and so on.
There are two conclusions that are in
evitable from these figures: The one IS
that many sound-moncy Democrats took
Candidate Bryan's advice and voted
straight for Mckinley; the other that the
Democratic losses in the white counties
were Offset by manipulating the ballot
box in the black districts.

IT Is TO BE ANOTHER CRY FOX Fho-

The unusually well-informed Washing
ton correspondent OF the New York Jour
nal Of Commerce. writes that paper from
Washington that the indications are now
very conclusive there that the Republican
party intends 10 utilize its victory Dy
re-cuacting law with high protective
duties. and he adds that they VIII begin
tho preparation OF their bill as soon as
the present Congress meets in December,
so as to have it ready Tor the extra ses-
sion OF the new Congress. which it is
expected Mr.. Mckinley viii call as soon
as he is inaugurated. This correspondent
has shown himself TO be so well Informed
upon questions of this character that we
are disposed TO believe It is a foregone
conclusion that this is to be the policy
Of the Mckinley administration.
II is simply astonishing that the Repub-
lioan party should be so blind to the actual
state Of things in this country as policy
of this sort implies. No impartial OBJ
server will question that the popular dis
content that showed itself in such formi-
dable proportions in the recent presiden-
tial election had its start and origin in
the protective tariff legislation OF the
Republican party, aided by its tax upon
the issues of State banks that de2rives
the sparse population Of the South and
West Of all opportunity to utilize such re-
sources as they have fer business
The protective tariff was the breeder
of the trusts that have given such an
anront TO the people, and. If Mr. Bryan
had been elected. we believe he would have
owed his election as much to popular
aversion TO these trusts rs TO the popular
delusion in behalf Of free silver which
was. at bottom. the craving OF the people
for their natural right to the use of their
credit denied to them by the National
Bank act. with its tax upon the issues
OF their local banks.
If. then. the best use that the Republ-
can party will be able TO find for its
victory is TO re-embark upon the the
policy of protective tariff and adherence
10 present currency conditions. it will be
laying the base for another commotion
in 1900, which may again shake the insti-
tutons OF this country. and yet it will
punish the Democratic party with its
opportunity. If the Democratic party will
only have the wisdom to clear itself of
Populism, and to found itself upon sound
money-the single gold standard-aided
by free banking and opposition to a pro-
tectiye tariff law it will commend itself
to the conservative and thoughtful senti-
mont of the country. and again come into
control Of the Government.

press which shows that about 2o.ss3 votes

more than enough to elect him. This Is

that about $500 votes changed for Nc

PUTAwAY THE BLUE GOGGLES.

The Emperor Napoleon once SAID to
Madame de Remusat: Y ou do not know
what political hatred is. 1t is like spec
tacles; one sees every thing. every opin-
ion. every sentiment, only through the
glass of ones passions. Hence nothing is
bad or good of Itself, bat simply accord
Ing to the party to which ore belongs.
In reality. this mode Of seeing is Ccnvo-
nient, and We profit by 1t; for we also
have or spcctacles, and. if We do not
see things through our passions, we see
them through our interests"
II would apear from this that there
has been little or no change in human
nature and politics since the days Of
the great French Emperor. 1t is a hard
matter 10 make men look at politics face
to face" instead OF through a glass
darkiy.' Some men are now looking at
the situation through the green Cog
giles of envy. For them there is no hope.
and to them We have nothing TO say.
But there are others who are looking
through the blue goggles of despair For
them We have words of encouragement.
We would have them take off the color
ed glasses and read The Times and the
times. II they will see the situation as
1t is they will SEQ that every prospect
Is pleasing. and that only evil prophets
arc vile. They will see confidence re-
stored, money easy stocks active, mills
starting up. demand for merchandise
brisk, gold everywhere. and iron, the
barometer of the industrial world. adj
