WITH VIRGINIA EDITORS.

The Pittsylvania county Democracy
nominated a Populist for the legislature
but the executive committee has since
repented and substituted a Democrat.
The Danyille Register in noting the fact
says:
There is now full. straight Demo-
cratic ticket in the field. the only KIND
that Democrats ought ever to have. Now
let the Democrats Of Pittsylvania, pull
off their coats. roll up their sleeves and
90 into the fght-go in to win They
can win IL they will"
Doubtless. But the party would bet-
ter lose than win by allying itself with
PoDulists.
The Petersburg Index-Appeal pays a
high and deserved tribute to the Hon.
William r. McIlwalne Of that city, who
has just been renominated for the SEN
ate from the district composed OF Peters
burg and Dinwiddle. Mr.. McIlwaine has
been a most useful member OF the Sen
ate and we shall be glad TO see HIN re-
turned. We have also the highest re-
gard for Hon. William +. McRae' who
served I'm the House from the Cockade
city and regret that he did not stand for
reelection.

Readers OF The Times are well aware
that It has never had much hope that any
thing material will come out OF the action
Of the Monetary Commission now sitting

by the Indianapolis Monetary Convention.
That convention was made up. in the
main. from the commercial bodies Of the

was absolutely no representation OF them
in the convention. The commercial CEN

suit coming from the movement as soon

vention. 1t was a case OF trying a law
suit with only one Of the parties to the
controversy before he court, and that
party the court also.

we were very much encouraged by a
publication made last Sunday by one OF
the commissioners now sitting In Wash

IN LIGHTER VEN.

New York newspaper men are hBurlhE
conspicuously in the exciting campaign
I'm that city We learn from the cores
pondent Of the Philadelphia Ledger that
the George campaign is being largely d.
rected by William J. Abbott, Of the jour
nal. William McMurtrie Sper, formerly
editor Of tho Albany Argus, and Charles
O'Connor Hennessy. who was long con-
nected with the Daily News. Hennessy's
brother. John. connected with the Mall
and Express. Is prominent in the National
Democratic organization. Congressman
l.. Il. Quigg. president OF the Republican
CITY Committee. was a few years ago
reporter on the Tribune, and later editor
Of the Press. Congressman Cummings
who was president Of the Democratic city
Convention, was long one Of the bright
men on the Sun. John W. Keller, OF the
Tammany Executive Committee and
chairman Of its County Convention, was
some years ago a Times reporter, and
later editor Of the now dcfunct Recorder
Richard Watson Glider editor OF the
Century" is one of the leading men In
the Citizens Union. Henry George was
himself an editor for some time. Judge
Gaynor so frequently mentioned for may
orally nomination. was once newspaper
reporter. Joseph c. Hendrix, president OF
the American Bankers Association, whom
Hugh Mclaughlin proposed for mayor,
was a few years ago a Sun reporter.
Congressman Mcclellan, prominent in
Tammany councils. was formerly a repor-
ter for the Herald. w. ]. x. Kenney and
Willis Holly. both ex-newspaper men, are
helping Hugh J. Grant TO manage Judge
van Wyck's campaign.
Tho newspapers OF Greater New York
are terribly split up and party lines are
largely ignored. The Daily News las
been on the fence. but is now supporting
the Tammany ticket. The only other
papers supporting Tammany are the
Brooklyn Citizen and the Telegraph. The
Herald supporting nobody editorially.
The sun is rampant for the regular Re
publican ticket as are also the Press and
the Commercial Advertiser. Low is evi-
IDENTIFY supported by the Times. the Even
ing Post and the Mail and Express, while
the World and the Brooklyn Eagle are
throwing the weight Of their influence 70
Low.
Strange as it may seem. while the Sun is
apparently the organ OF the Tracy forces,
the Tribune is cut fer Low, and these
two papers have been exchanging compli-
ments in a way peculiar to New York
journalism. We do not see the Journal
regularly, but learn that it is coquetting
with both Low and George but for the
sake OF party regularity" is disposed 10
support Tammany. The Stats Zeitunr.
the leading German newspaper has prac-
tcally declared for Low.

We had thought that the fight against
Rev. DR.. Whitsitt, president Of the South
ern Baptist Seminary had ended. when
the trustees met at Wilmington in May
and declined 70 take action against him.
The action OF the trustees seemed 10 us
to be most praiseworthy and we took oc-
casion at the time TO say so. But the
fight has not ended, and numerous Bap-
list associations have demanded DR.. WHIT
sits removal because he was bold enough
TO state what he said was an historical
fact with reference to immersion in the
early days Of the Church. A number Of
representative Baptist ministers and lay
men, including Ex-Governor Northen. or
Georgia, Hon. Joshua lowering. DR.. j. B.
Hawthorne. Dr. r. b. Thames and others
Of equal prominence met recently At
Nashville and prepared a statement in
defence OF DR. Whitsitt. II is a strong
plea. as will be seen from the following
extract:
I'VE regard Or. Whitsitt as a compe-
tent historian, but We should not. in this
statement shield him from any fair criti-
cism for his opinion that the English
Anabaptists first adopted immersion for
baptism in or about the year 1911; and we
protest that it is unbaptistic TO eriticise
him as a Baptist for this opinion. For. if
we accept said opinion as a test Of DR.
Whitsitt's orthodoxy, We thereby make a
new test Of orthodoxy and surrender the
time-honored Baptist principle of the BIZ
BILE. and the Bible alone. our only guide
il all matters of faith and practice. And
as we depart from this old landmark into
this new test, we come to the violation OF
another honored Baptist principle-free-
dom OF speech. For DR.. Whitsitt is
avowedly in hearty accord with his Bap-
fist brethren in every distinctive principle
which they hold He has not uttered one
word contrary 10 the Bible or Baptist
faith; he has simply expressed his opinion
about matter of history. II then, ne be
DR.. Whitsitt who is sacrificed, but our
old Baptist principle Of freedom of speech.
We DO not intend 10 argue the merits OF
the case. or to express any preference for
Or. Whitstt, but to call the attention OF
our brethren to the fact that these two
great Baptist principles OF appeal to the
Bible only and freedom of speech are in
danger Of being lost TO us by this attack
upon the president of our seminary. If IT
be successful"
We agree with the brethren that i great
principle is involved. II Dr. whitsitt
has falsiaed history let him be condemn,
