THE DEMOCRATS OF THIS CITY WHO
lid NOT NOIL.

An examination of the vote cast III
Richmond city last Tuesday reveals some
interesting facts. We have just had an
entirely new registration of voters. so
that We know that there is voter Tor
a,,orv name on the registration-b books.
,rhoro are 1S.Sl5 registered voters. yet
there were only 13,l1S votes cast snow
ing that 1851 voters did not vote. Two
,housand five hundred Of these were the
,ooro voters in Jackson ward who were
deprived Of their votes by the sameim
methods practiccd there. But every
whore else the negroes were allowed 10
vote SO that as well as We can make
ont the full negro vote of tho city was
poned. except in Jackson ward. If, then
we deduct the 300 negro voters excluded
IN Jackson ward from the 1851 persons
who did not vote we have left 3,137 white
men who refused to 90 to the polls IN
Richmond.
This is a remarkable and most interest
ing fact. How has it come about that,
In a canvass so exciting as this has been,
when II was expected that every man in
the city would be eager TO cast his vote,
3ls7 white voters. out of a white register
cd vote of l2.S3s refused TO 50 to the
polls?
We have no sort Of doubt in our own
mind of what ii means. 1t means that
there are that many sturdy Democrats
IN this city who cannot lie turned by
anything from ,heir fixed and unchang-
ing Democracy. They would not vote
for Mckinley or the Republican nominee
for Congress in this district, although
as excellent gentleman as Judge Lewis
is. and they would not. Of course. vote
for Nj. Bryan. whom they regard as a
Populist standing upon a revolutionary
platform.
This is a most encouraging fact to all
true and sound Democrats. II proves
that we have an old guard OF Democ-

The Brooklyn standardization has the
following in regard TO General Fitz. Lee 3
residence in Cuba:
General Fitzhugh Lee has not mounted
war horse every day during his resi-
denco i'm Havana. wound himself in the
Star Spangled Banner. and galloped with
a drawn sword i'm his hand TO the Span
ish palace, defying the Spaniards. and
challenging Captain-General Weyler 10
mortal combat. All the fond cXpccta-
lions of such warlike demonstrations
have been disappointed. General Lee
has not made himself more offensive TO
the Spanish authorities than Consul
General Williams was i'm the habit OF
doing. lie has. however. behaved per-
sonally with due courage and discretion,
and officially with dcccncv and i'm or
derby form. and hc has done more I'm
that way for suffering Americans than
was possible i'm any other way.
1t is gratifying TO Nirginans to hear
General Lee spoken of by outsiders in
this agreeable sort OF way. lie is a
man Of the soundest judgment ana
moves on an oven keel. He has repre-
scented his country I'm Cuba. under the
most trying circumstances. with dignity,
courage, possession. and tact. and
the people Of Virginia are glad to know
that the rest Of the Americans recognize
this MS the fact.

THE TIMES AND THE DEMOCRATIC
PARTY

Some uneasiness has been felt. and
naturally so by Virginia Democrats, as
to the future Of the Democratic party
IN this State. but The Times sees no
cause for alarm if wise counsel shall
prevail. Indeed. we think that the party
has the opportunity TO redeem itself, and
live. not only docenily. hut happily and
indefinitely to the honor of itself and
the welfare of the Commonwealth. 1t
cannot be disputed that the party has
sinned and blundered. but it is by no
means. past redemption, and il it will
only profit by the lessons Of the past,
all will be well.
The party has sinned in ccuntonancins
election trickery and frauds. and it has
blundered to say the least, in allying
Itself with Popuhsts.
Hear bit of history. The Times be
gan several years ago to expose the cor
ruption Of our election machinery. and
while fl did not succeed m ovcrthrowing
the machine. it did succeed in opening
the eyes Of the people to .he abuses.
and in arousiug pu5lic sentiment to the
necessity for reform. until now there is
demand throughout the length and
breaGth Of the Commonwealth FOR
pure ballot.
Until recently The Times made it's fight
strictly within the party organization,
and sought TO influence this necessary
reform without leading a revolt But
while The Times has always been. and
Is. an advocate OF Democratic principles.
and while il has always Teen. and is

And so it happened that when the
Democratic party of Virginia threatened

when the party did embrace Populism at
Chicago. The Times. true 90 its word. de
