The Republican and some OF the boiling
Democratic papers are ringing the changes
on Tillman and Altseld for all that re-
course is worth in their efforts TO discredit
the action OF the Chicago convention.
Tillman and Altgeld are not very reputa-
BILE company. but the Republican party
would better sweep before its cwn door
In respec. of this matter
Neither Tillman nor Altgeld cut any
great figure before the Chicago conven-
ton as regards the nominations. but there
are hundreds OF meE high in the counsels
Of the Republican party who, in their way
are more dangerous TO the peace ana
prosperity of the republic than the South
Carolina vulgarian and the Illinois IA
matte. We have no use for either OF these
men, and would not be understood as
Offering shadow OF an excuse for them'
but when the Republican press and the
Republican leaders would seek TO make
capital out OF Tilman's sectional
speech" in which he represented no one
but himself, 1t IS competent TO suggest
that these papers and leaders represent
a party Of sectionalism. When they would
parade Altgeld's socialistic views ana
argue that he is an Anarchist, II Is in or
der TO remind them that the element in
this country in sympathy with his eX-
IRENE views is a mere bagatelle, and MADE
up for the most part of proletariat from
Europe who have not learned that liberty
is not license. while II the predominant
element of the Republican party could
have its swing. one great section of this
Countrywide South--would be brought to
a condition of chaos bordering on an
archy. No one can question this who is
familiar with the history Of reconstruc-
ton and the attempted legislation of the
Republican party against the South since
that terrible era.
As utterly obnoxious as are Altgeld ana
Tillman to the great mass of the Demo-
cratic party, in the view we have pre-
scented. the South-haters in the Repuon-
can party cannot afford TO throw stones
at them. There is not scintilla OF red-
son 10 fear that the Tillmans or the AIT
gelds will ever dominate the Democratic
marty. They are out of line with its run
damental principles. and will sink TO 'he
level in which they belong. But there Is
reason 10 fear that the South-haters VIII
dictate the policy OF the Republican party
should that party attain the ascendency'
They have always done so, as the losical
result of the first article of their partys
creed

tain. His tarG views are destructive, II

Think again: Mckinley Is Republi-

the Republican party all his life. or,

he march into the Democratic ranks ?
Did YOU Join hands with him?
Is II likely that there will be many
boilers in Virginia? 1t is not. For every
voter we lose by Bryan's candidacy or
the Chicago platform We shall gain
moro than one.
Again: You do not Ike TO vote for
free silver candidates after having come
out so strongly against them. Pshaw!
That is one Of the pecullarities Of politics.
You might as well change your position
to-day as tomorrow. You are bound to
change It at some time. Why make two
bites at a cherry? Why hesitate to walk
in the path which duty points out TO you?
If there IS a change In platforms ana
candidates two or three or four years
hence, you will not hesitate to act with
these you now talk about leaving "out

to do.
In a word, good men and true selected
the Chicago candidates and drafted the
Chicago platform. Shall any good Demo-
crat in Virginia desert these standard
bearers and these creed-makers? Shall
any good Democrat think of himself In
stead Of his party?
Where is Bryan? He IS on the road to

We Don't Try to Reconcile Them.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
l am glad that you have learned tnat
Candidate Bryan's cross-of-gold ana
crown-of-thorns figures OF speech are
chestnuts. albeit Bryanic ones. READ
your editorial on Bryan's speech with
much interest. 1t seems to be your opln-
ion that Bryan secured the nominal
ton by his mastery sagacity' in seH-
ing the opportunity that presented
itself in the convention and making the
most of 1t. AS you are going 10 sup
port the candidate, OF course 1t Is all
right to say all you can in his favor, and
TO make him out to be q great man
before he has proved himself to be one;
but / would ask, How can his mastery
sagacity" be reconciled with the facts
that he has said he has always felt
that he was destined 10 fill a high posi-
ton; that he predicted some two months
before the convention met that he would
be nominated, and that he carried TO the
convention a rabbits-foot in his pocket?
1t seems to me that, feeling and prophe-
syng as he did. mastery sagacity" was
upcalled for and impairment; an impu-
dent and imprudent interfering with the
plans of Fate or Providence, and was
certainly disrespectful TO the rabbit's-foot.
Don't you agree with me?
BY the way, considered critically, is
there anything more than mere rhetoric
in the cross-of-gold and crown-of-thorns
talk anyway? Wouldn't you rather be
crucified on a cross OF gold than on one
Of silver, II compelled to choose between
them? 1t seems that that Is the only
choice we have-at present; we are to be
crucifed. anyway. according to Mr.. Bryan.
else why should we have specified the
kind of cross? But you may think this
only hair-splitting.
While you Bryanites comfort yourselves
during the coming struggle with the re-
Election that "every cloud has a silver
lining" we gold-bugs will gladden. our
