tho negro vote is not TO be feared. as
II will cut but poor figure In the NO
vember election.
There was a time, undoubtedly. when
this was a question OF grave concern
10 certain sections OF Virginia. But
every sensible man knows that negro
rule is no longer a possibility IN THIS
State. and this bugaboo. as the Dis
patch's correspondent admits. is not a
factor in this campaign.
The Dispatch, in a labored editorial
printed in the same issue. anticipates the
state campaign OF next year, and warns
the people OF Virginia against negro rule.
But the bugaboo won't do for the future
any better than for the present-it won't
do at all. The Times understands this
question as well as II IS possible for
a man to u1dersts nd any question which
he has studied carefully and prayerfully
for years. And yet, with its eyes wide
open. and with fun knowledge OF all
the facts, The Times casts its lot with
the National Democratic party, with
perfect trust and confidence, that all the
interests of the people Of Virginia. the
question Of home rule. the question OF
local self-government, the negro Ques-
ton. and all other questions which pecu-
liarly concern the South Will be entirely
$; fe in the hands Of that party.

THE PARTIES OF THE FUTURE.

The manifesto sent out yesterday by
the National Committee OF the Populist
party concludes as follows:
The Peoples party Will be the party Of
the future. The American people will
recognize 1t as the agency that saved the
day when their interests were az stake.
the American people will rally around its
banner as the party 20 contend against
the enemy Of good government In the
future Every man TO his post, and the
victory is won.
There IS this truth in this, that 80
between the Chicago party and the Pop
ulist party the Populist must inevitably
be the party Of the future. In order TO
effect an alliance with the Popuiists IL
was necessary for the Chicago party to
put itself in line with the Populist idea
Of government and to that end plat
form was adopted and a candidate Sc

Ae for the congressional contest, there
is no candidate in this district who repre-

we shall not vote for either candidate
though there is much about both Lamp

Judge Lewis is a straight cut Repuo'

struction Of the Constitution which
Democrats have opposed for hundred
wears, and will ever oppose. and, there

we purpose to oppose item whether
adopted by Fopulists or Republicans. Nor
do We believe in the financial theories
Of the Republicans. We utterly reject

IN the maintenance Of the gold stand

ton before us, and was not complicated
with other matters Of grave importance
and Judge Lewis was in other respects
