GRATIFYING RESULT.
Only SI2s 800 Worth of State Bonds Re-
main Outstanding Unfunded.

Mr.. Josiah Ryland, Jr., the Second Au-
dltor is well pleased with the results OF
funding the old tax-receivable coupon

eral Assembly during its recent session.
This act allows all holders Of old Sc
curties. not funded under the acts OF
February II. lSs2. or February -, 1892, 10

same terms as were awarded by the

materially reduced by other bonds, which
are now In process of funding, so that
when the matter is finally wound up
there will hardly be 10000 left unfunded,
of which possibly a large percentage
have been lost, and will never be pre-
scented.

THE TUoRp-M,KENNEY CASE.

We cannot say that we are surprised at
the report of the subcommittee which
has investigated the case of Thorp VS..
Mckinney, recommending that Mr.. Nc
Fcnney be unseated, and that Mr.. Thorp
be seated in the House If Representa-
tivos. We have not critically examined
the record Of this contest. though we
know something Of it. but we have fire.
quently made a critical examination of
the previous contest in that district be-
tween Goode and Epes, and we can can
didIy say that more atrOcous record
than that was hardly ever brought under
our eye for review. The nleueds adopted
to deny his seat to Goode and TO give 1t
TO Epes have been frequently commented
upon in these columns, and finally re-
ceived the most positive and emphatic
condemnation of Virginias Court Of APP
Deals. These were not the measures used
to carry the district for Mckinney. The
methods used in the last case were the
slight of-hand Cnes to which the Walton
law was dedicated. They consisted in the
smart WOIk OF dlttIidAliS Hdii-o va wv
ballots, and such fine slight-of-hand tricks
as the special constable and inscriptions
election officers were prepared to do.
1t is a painful and Notifying thing
for a Virginian to contemplate tie setting
aside Of a Virginia congressional election
for fraud. But when an election is carried
by the detestable methods which the Wal
ton law was plainly intended to recon-
mend to the people of Virginia 1t Is i'm
possible for us TO feel any regret II 1t Is
anulled as fraudulent, and, therefore. to
be condemned by honest men. Negro
rule would be a fearful calamity with
which to confront US, though, indeed it
is nothing but bugaboo, but we shall
never permit the inconvenience Of a negro
majority to drag us into approving of dis
honesty and fraudulent tricks. Anything
is better than that.

GROWING MORE COMPLICATED.
Does the Board of Aldermen Have JuTis'
diction over Mr.. sIann's Action?

Does the Board of Aldermen Have Juris-
diction over Mr.. Maun's Action?
The chances are now that Alderman
Mann's connection with the city Gas
Works will not be considered by either
branch Of the City Council. In the testi-
mony submitted to the investigation COM
mittee the fact was brought out that
Mr.. Mann, in April and May, 1880, was
interested in some work done Tor the
city, his firm having torn down an old
structure in order TO build the fouhud-
ton for the new vater-gaS plant. For
this the committee decided that he should
be reprimanded. Mr.. Mann was at that
time Il member OF the Common Council
where he remained until August IL, 1924,
when he was elected member OF the
board to ill the vacancy caused by the
resignation Of Mr.. Joseph W. carter, OF
Marshall ward.
Ii is, therefore, claimed that the board
has no right 10 reprlmand Mr.. Mann FOR
what he did while a member OF the Com
mon Council, and the latter body Ger
tatnly has no power to take action IN
the matter at this time. Notwithstand-
ing this mixed-up state of affairs. II Is
expected that the committee VIII be
called together as soon as Mr.. Marx
Gunst returns to this city, in order 10
complete its work. by preparing report
and recommendation 10 the Board Oh
Aldermen.
President Turpin, of the board mas
piled 10 the city Attorney for an opinion
on the following points:
First. How the recommendations OF
the special committee relative to MT
Mann can be properly and promptly
brought before the board.
Second. Whether the entire record
should be I'm possession Of the board.
Third. Whether the board has Jprisdic-
tion, over a member, for. acts. alleged. 10 have
been committed by him when he was
member of a coordinate body or the

is any truth I'm the report that on Mon

office with Aldermen Bahen ana Mitchell

ing on the absence OF the Jackson Ward

TILLMAN As THE DEMOCRATIC NOM
INEI.

The telegram that was sent out yester-
day from Washington that stated that
Tinman, Of South Carolina. was prepar-
ing to put himself regularly into training
for the Democratic nomination for the
presidency causes US no surprise what
ever.
When the late Benjamin +. Butler
who once run for the presidency, was
beginning. at the inception OF his career,
10 make a stir among men, Daniel Web
ster was alive. Some one asked him one
day what he thought of Butler, and he
replied: "He has the impudence Of the
devil. with conscience to match" Till
man has all of Buffers impudence. and
We have never heard his conscience at
tackled as being one whit inferior 10
that Of wicked Pen. IT is quite natural
therefore that Tillman should aspire TO
the Democratic nomination. OF course
he thinks himself big enough for 1t. and,
managed as the Democratic party has
been Of late years, We regret TO believe
that there are other people who concur
with him in that opinion.
But what will the Democratic party
say in response to Mr.. Tillman's aspira-
tions? If the party is, as so many of
its members declare. a free silver, I'M
equal income tax, antiproperty party,
why should it not accept Tillman as its
standard bearer? We do not hesitate TO
say mat he is to-day the most advanced
advocate of all these propositions in the
Democratic party. II the propositions
are sound and good 10 the extent in
which they are advocated by many Demo
cratic leaders. like Vest. Pugh, Morgan
ct ais. why are they not equally sound
and good when run TO the logical results
TO which Tillman carries them? II the
Democratic party adopts a free-siver
platform. 1t seems 10 us that Tillman is
the man for a candidate.

PASS PErFEa's RESOLUTION.


They are bacKing and filing in the
Senate over PETERS resolution provid-
ing for a special committee of five sena-
Tors to investigate and report all the facts
CONNECTED with the sale Of United States
bonds by the Secretary Of the Treasury
LIN the years 1891. 1885, and 1896, and Sena-
tor Hill is using all his mastery Of par
liamentary law to prevent the resolution
coming to a vote. and to defeat it if it
should. The contest has been carried &c
such a point as to arouse bitter feel
sngs in tho Senate. the free silver and
Populist senators contendng for the adop-
ton of the resolution. and a number of
senators, led by Mr.. Inn, endeavoring to
stave it of.
We are entirely at a loss 20 understand
the reasons controlling Mr.. Hill and his
followers in this cause There is nothing
in any Of the sales Of bonds that have
been made during Mr.. Cleyeland's adj
minstration that either he or the Demo-
cratic party is to be ashamed Of They
were all made upon the best terms OBJ
tainablc with the lights before them at the
time, and they were made TO preserve the
Integrity OF the gold issue, and, thereby
10 preserve the standard cf value that
the people use in all their transactions.
1t would have been national calamity
more appalling than any that ever befoll
"a people If our standard of value had been
slipped down 10 the hfty-cent point, and
each of these sales was made TO prevent
that very thing occurring. and it would
necessarily have occurred, unless each of
the sales had been made. There is moth
ing, therefore. in any Of them of which
we should avoid the fullest exposure. and
these unscemly attempts TO prevent the
fun exposures of them inevitably raise a
suspicion that there is something behind
in them that we cannot defend.
This sort of cowardly, evasive policy is
what has brought the Democratic party
10 its present low estate II will never
rule this country again. and it ought
never to rule IT again. until il is ready
20 take its stand openly and clearly be-
fore the whole people upon its fundamen-
ial principles of equal and Just laws. ana

Varying standard OF value. sound money
Freedom in banking. taxes that bear in
the same way upon all. and as nearly
free trade as the necessities Of the Gov
ernment VIII permit. These are its foun-
dalton principles: there is no reason TO
hugger-mugger any one of them, but. on
the contrary, there is every reason for
proelaiming all Of them at all times. and
an exposure Of al the facts connected
with the bond sales is not only In perfect
consistency with their principles, but it
Is absolutely called for and demanded
by them. Let Mr.. PETER have his way,
then, and have every fact connected with
the sales exposed 20 public view. They
were made to preserve to the people their
standard OF value inviolate and We are
not ft to rule the people unless we are
prepared TO so before them and plant
ourselves unalteraDly upon that PROPOSE
