ALABAMA,

The Alabama Democratic State Conven-
ton OF Wednesday last may be said TO
have defined It's policy with sufficient
clearness, though II made an unmistaka-
BILE utterance In favor Of free silver at
the same time that II passed reso-
lutions approving the Presidents for
eign policy. and also instructed It's dele
gates 10 the Democratic National Con-
vention TO vote as unit on all questions.
Here trouble viii begin. The vote In
favor Of free silver In the Alabama Demo-
cratic State Convention OF Wednesday
was not a two-thirds vote. Here are
the figures:
FTee-siiver vote. ...........-...........s.. S5l
Antl-free-silver vote........"".."...... l5
Whole vote. ......-......"..'.'". OVf
Two thirds. ............... 900
or little less than two thirds. But I'M
less the long-established usage of Demo
cratic national conventions is abolished.
IL Will require a two thirds vote to nomi-
nate a candidate for President. And
what will be Alabama's strength In the
national convention Itself II she cannot
command a two-thirds vote in her own
State convention?
Is II not a foregone conclusion that the
advocates of sound money will go to the
national convention bent upon nominal
ting no man who cannot command
two-thirds vote I'm that body? To restrict
a few silver men In favor OF the unit
rule will be TO invite them to show their
weakness In the convention. VIII New
York, Massachusetts. Pennsylvania, and
all the rest Of the sound-money States
sit idly by and see the votes Of their
several States counted either for free
silver or for a unit rule?
1t will be seen at once that Alabama
has taken a path which will lead the
Democratic party into troubles such
us that party might have avoided
had not the silverites determined to
nominate free-silver candidate and
place him upon a free-silver platform. or
II. in a word. the example of Alabama
be followed in the matter of compelling
the delegates to the Democratic Ma
tlonal Convention to vote as unit.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-04-24

allowing them no voice whatever In the
delegation Is incomprehensible.
There will be at the Staunton conven-
ton !. 600 delegatesl From the cities alone
there will be S5s. and II Is safe 10 say
that nearly all Of these VIII De against
free silver. Would IL be either good
policy or Justice to leave them entirely
out OF consideration Would such course
Le likely to eoothe their feelings as Demo
Gratis and party-workcrs? The protest
that lie heard from every section OF Vir-
ginla is sufficient evidence that any at
tempt TO disregard the Democratic prin-
ciple of minority representation VIII be
unfortunate and will induce dissersion
within cur ranks.

squareIy on the Head.

We invite special attention to the edi-
torial extracts printed in another column
to-day. considering the proposition 10
gag a part of the Democratic party IN
Virginia. Will the Democrats or Roa-
noke aid this scheme? We trust that
senator Daniel and his followers VIII
have the wisdom and prudence to aban-
don the position taken in his recent m
teryiew. The Richmond Dispatch hlts
the nail squarely OH the head with siedge-
hammer force when 1t says Better a
divided delegation to Chicago than d.
yided party Ia Virginia.

Public interest is now rapidly center
ing upon the State Democratic Conven-
ton, which is TO be held at Staunton. on
June 4th. And the great question be-
fore that body will be whether the ex-
listing rule shall be revoked and annulled,
and the unit rule adopted instead. 1t
Is a momentous quest!on-one I'm which
the welfare of the party is involved to
an extraordinary degree. For the con-
vention to adopt the unit rule would be
to endanger the harmony Of our party
In this State, and, while we doubt not
that the free-silver men will be strong
enough TO adopt the unit rule, should they
so determine, we beg them not TO do
so; and we yet hope that Senator Daniel
will use his great oratorical abilities
and personal popularity to restrain those
who would rush our party to the brink OF
a precipice. We saved our party from
disruption four years ago by not having
the unit rule, and we can save the party
again, If men like Daniel and Fftz. Lee
will come to the front and entreat the
convention to adhere to the existing rule.
The unit rule means anything else but
unity In our party.

Tho City's Duty.

Tho supreme court handed down . de-
oision recently that gives the city the
right to look after sidewalks, streets and
alleys. and make it responsible for their
condition. The decision says: 1.-THE tee
Of the streets Of the municipalities OF
this state 10 vested in the municipalities
themselves, and the sidewalks OF the Va.
rious municipal corporations are parts
Of the streets thereof. The law Of this
state devolves upon the various munich.
pal corporations thereof the duty OF ut
oil times keeping their streets and side.
walks in a reasonably safe condition for
travel by the public, and no municipal
corporation by any act OF its own cap de.
volve this duty on another 80 az 10 re-
lieve itself from a liability resulting from
its failure TO perform such duty. The
law does not make it the duty OF a lot
owner to build, maintain, or repair the
sidewalks being a part Of his street in
front OF his premises. A municipal cor.
poration may employ such agency as il
sees tit in the construction or epair of
it's streets and sidewalks, and may Ii.
cense or permit a lot owner to build or
