STAND ny YOUR POSTS,

The Richmond Dispatch makes a
strong appeal to the Democrats of the
Capital City to stand by their party.
1t says: Democrats of Richmond.
stick to your party. Stand by your old
friends. Don't separate from them, for
1t you do. you will not find your new
associates to your liking. 1t may possi-
Div be well enough for New England
and New York Democrats to talk about
boiling. for they don't know what South
ern Republicanism Is. but on this point
we have abundant information and
should beware. We have had one or
two bolts here. and each one has cost
us dearly.
For the sake of auld lang syne, for
the sake Of our brother Democrats. who
are so honest and earnest in this cam
paiGn, don't let us be led off into indie
pendentism or McKinleyism.
Let US stand by our old party flag
and sing our old battle songs, and give
the enemy a blow whenever we can do
so. and trust to the future to make all
things right"
Perhaps the need of an appeal Is not so
great in Norfolk as in Richmond. but
to the few In our midst who are think
ing of straying away from the Demo-
cratic camp, the appeal applies with
equal force.
