BRYAN Claims in yirri,i,

PETERSBURG, Va, Nov. 1.-The regular
democratic managers claim Bryan will carry
Virginia by a large majority some estimates
placing the figures as high as $4,000. The
republicans also appear to be confident OF
carrying the state but they give no figures
There is no popullst ticket in the field and
the party generally is supporting the demo
cratic candidates. The gold standard demo
Gratis will poll a large vote in every city
and will show considerable strength in some
rural districts. There are no authentic
reports of republican detection anywhere
The circumstances seem to justify the claims
Of the republicans for a close vote.

ment. and was the cause of the war

Gated the governments of South Amer

their governments have been un-

CITY Is NEGLIGENT.

The city Of Wilmington is very care
full that private individuals shall have
their pavements cleared of snow and
ice within a given time after it has
stopped showing or sleeting, but it is
not so careful about its own premises.
The pavements in front of the various
city offices all day yesterday and up
to 10 o'clock this morning had cart
loads of snow and ice upon them, and
in nearly every instance there was
snow and ice at the entrance This
statement even applies to the City
Hall, from in front of which the snow
had not been taken away but paths
merely cut through it. The entrances
to offices of the city treasurer, city
auditor, city tax collector and secretary
of the Board of Public Education were
obstructed by snow and ice, which the
slant of the pavement made doubly
dangerous to the officials and persons
having business in the Offices

THE STRIFE OF POLITICS.

Very few politicians are capable Of
taking defeat with proper feelings of
patriotism. And yet on this sentiment
depends the peace and safety of the
nation. Our government is founded
upon the basis that the majority shall
rule, and the sooner after an election
that all the agitating issues can be
smorhered in the breasts of those who
oppose the successful party, the better
II is for the peace of the country. One
is not obliged TO forsake his party
principles or the leaders by whom he
was led in a political campaign; he IS
not called upon to "go back" on either
of these yet he is bound to submit to
the will of the majority and his failure
TO do this with a good grace is an in
jury TO both himself and his cause
The last election was a very exciting
one, and we note that some of our po-
litical contemporaries, and some of oul
personal friends, find IL hard work tC
give up the fight which has been de.
cided against them, so far as national
issues are concerned, for the next -four
years. This leads us TO philosophizS
upon the matter and give the above ad,
vice. The history of the world is full
of failures to establish governments
by the people. Our own country is
the first prominent nation that has
succeeded in continuing a republican
form of government for over a century
And why is this so?
Simply because the great mass of tn,
minority has always supported tn,
government Of the majority Wher,
republics have been failures thei
overthrow has been caused by the re
fusal of the minority to submit to tn
will of the people as expressed by tn
majority This has been more or les
the case in all the South American re
publics and was notably so in France
after that country, about a centur
ago, attempted to follow the exampl
of the United States in the Formation
of republic. Opposition to the ma
jority there led to the reign of tel
ror. which. after deluging France wit
the blood of the people ended in tn
establishment Of q monarchy.
If the Frenchmen of a century ag'
when they attempted to establish
government of the people, had contir
ued TO follow our example by submit
ting to the will Of the majority. it
easy to see what an immense amour
Of trouble would have been saved

public again, and it is believed that II

TWO GOOD SUGGESTIONS.

We have for long time been an
earnest advocate of a Board of Par
dons, and it is a pleasure to note that
that committee of the Constitutional
Convention having under consideration
the governor and executive recon-
mends such a board. IL will relieve
the governor of great weight OF un-
pleasant responsibility, and, in event
of an unworthy man to the executive
chair, the order-loving and law-abid-
ing citizens will not be in constant ap-
prehension of a jail delivery by execu-
tive clemency actuated by party press
ure or personal friendship The veto
recommendation is also good.
Both suggestions should be favorably
acted upon. for they are now part and
parcel of the organic law of the most
advanced states in the nation.
