The recent warning Of the Danville
Register. in reference to the course Of
the Democratic majority In the Legisla-
ture. which we reprinted. seems 10 have
elected some criticism from the consti-
tucnts or that paper, some OF them be-
Heying that the truth had been too plain
ly stated. ln AN article along the same
line. the Register says. NO living man
can boast OF stronger devotion TO the
principles of Democracy or of more UNI
hinchng loyalty 10 the party than can
the editor of the Register, and no paper
I'm or out Of Virginia has a cleaner Demo-
cratic record than this paper II is be-

warming We DO not want 10 see the
Democratic party I'm Virginia defeated.
and we do not want 10 see the Republican
party in control of State affairs, but we
do want 20 see State affairs placed i'm
the hands Of a pure and patriotic Demo-
cratic party, that will conduct them in
the interest Of the people. For these
reasons. we have deemed IL our duty TO
sound the warning that unless the Demo-

There is undoubtedly much truth in
what the Register says. and those news
papers with the courage 10 speak out
and warn tho party are more loyal TO
the party than those who never see errors
or dangers. The World has always
been i'm the heat of the fray during cam
paigns. and il has always defended the
party. and fought the enemy TO the best
Of it's ability. This does not imply that
we will approve an the sins Of the Demo-
Gratis. whether OF omission or commission.
and remain silent while men who care
more for selfish interests than the good
OF the state wreck the organization. and
bring rcproach upon party that should

tho latter Improvement, even warning them
that they might bc sent to Jail FOR not doing so'
inasmuch rs tho courts Ind already directed
that a suitable bridge should bc built over New
