Let no one interested in securing lhe
gubernatorial nomination for Mr.. Ely
son become discouraged because ie"
counties have instructed for Major ~
Ter. Supporters OF Mr.. Ellyson, conildeht
of his strength. saw no occasion to nave
counties favorable TO him elect Delegates
before the call for the convention had
hardly become dry. All OF Us who nave
any acquaintance with Virginia ponucs
knew Major Tyler would carry RadIord,
Caroline. Henry, Floyd. Giles, Appomat-
tox. and Petersburg. He is practically
q resident Of Radford Caroline Is the
county Of his birth. and was the place
of his residence for many years. Caro-
line has Instructed for him each time
he has been q candidate. Petersburg
and Appomattox voted for the Major
four years ago, when he received less
than a fourth Of the delegates. Giles
always has been for him. Floyd and
Henry are not far from his home, and
he has an extensive acquaintance in each
OF those counties. The Tyler counties
and cities are the first TO hold conven-
tons. The Ellyson counties and cities
will be heard from in no uncertain tones
M the proper time. | predict that in

SENATE DEGENERA ALTON.

If Senator Hoar is wise, he Will not
insist on appealing to pubic opinion 10
establish the character of the Senate Tor
incorrrptibility. Unfortunately, not only
for Senator Hoar, but for the country
the consensus of public opinion would II
seems tend to establish exactly the con-
trarv. Senator Hoars late declaration
that "the honest, sober men of the coun-
fry look with contempt upon the charges
against the United States Senate, In con-
nection with the sugar schedules mas
evoked a contemptuous smile from many
newspapers and many honest, sober men.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
treats the question of senatorial corrup-
ton in a manner which is typical of the
treatment accorded it by scores Of other
reputable papers. and which affords
pretty clear insight into public belief ana
sentiment Referring to the "attempted
Investigation of two years ago OF charges
of senatorial speculation in sugar certl-
dcates. and the refusal to attempt an
investigation of similar charges made this
year. our New York contemporary says
that Senator Hoar could not make his
declaration above quoted in any random
group of a dozen or twenty business or
nrofessional-men without being laughed
at. unless the good manners OF his audi
tors protected him from that discourtesy'
The Journal of Commerce also states
that in a New York club of literary, pro-
fessional. and businessmen, which meets
regularly for discussion. 1t was recently
nroposed to consider the complaints as
IN the "degeneracy' of the United States
Senate but the subject was dropped, amid
derisive laughter at the idea that there
could DE two sides to the question Could
there be a more humliating commentary
particularly when it Is remembered mat
the commentary applied to both moral
and intellectual degeneration, but espe-
cially the former?
So we repeat, IL Senator Hoar is wise,
he will not put the public on the stand
TO defend the Senate. II, the senate 5
renutation is as dear to him as he would
have us believe he would better recognize
that the body is not like Caesars wife,
IA the end of championing investigation
whenever a substantial charge of corrup-
| ton Is made. BE the senators VINO are
alleged to have made a turn in sugar
never so innocent. the Senate VIII re-
main tainted in the eyes OF the puohc
until the innocence of those senators IS
proved beyond question, or the body Is
"purged" of them. There Is no getting
over this fact. which is a most humiliat-
ING one 10 all right-thinking American
| citizens.

OHIO WARNING UP.

The Republican state Convention Of
Ohio will meet at Toledo to-day 10 nomi-
nate n state ticket and TO make an
nouncement of the position Of the party
with respect TO the ensuing campaign.
Ohio is Mr.. Hanna's kingdom. and he
has fixed" the convention. 1t is foreor-
dained. therefore. that Mr. Bushnell will
be renomnated for Governor and Hanna
endorsed for the senatorship. At pre-
sent. Hanna is holding his seat under
gubernatorial appointment. but the en-
dorsement Will give him the legislative
vote-provided his party wins at the
election,
IL is also expected-known, in fact
that the Ohio convention will endorse
and reaffirm the st. Louis platform, and
have something very sugary TO say
about President McKinleys administra-
tive policy. With Mckinley Hanna. and
Sherman. Ohios three most distinguished
Republicans. well provided for, 1t could
not be expected that the convention
would find any fault with what is going
on at Washington.
However. the Republicans will nave to
reckon with the Democrats. on all hands,
1t Is conceded that the coming contest
In Ohio is going to be prodisiously
fierce one The situation there Is not
as 1t is here. Here the dominant
party has only TO name a State ticket.
and that ticket will win. There are
tot Al
who ought TO be nominated for this,
that, or the other place on the State
ticket, but whoever is nominated at Roa-
noke will sweep the State. Not so with
the dominant party in Ohio. They dhe
Republicans )will have the hardest fight
TO make that they have had for years.
They were only able to carry Ohio last
fall by convincing many voters that
business prosperity depended upon Re-
publican victory. All these people have
been disappointed. The business depres-
sion is keenly felt IN Ohio.
No doubt the Republicans will try to
oersusde the voters that as soon as the
rev tariff gets into operation fully. II
will produce all OF the happy results
that were predicted for last years cleo
ton. but experience shows that vt is
easier TO fool the average man the first
time than the second time.
or course Hanna's money and the adj
ministration's influence will be thrown
into the contest upon the Republican
side, but the growing popularity of the
free-silver doctrine will Offset them both
And II Is assured In advance that the
Democratic State Convention win fully
and emphatically endorse and reaffirn
all the chief features of the Chicago
platform.

We are glad to see that Mrs. Janey
Hope Mari has published in pamphlet
form her sketch entitled The Daughter
of His Right Hand" We had the plea
sure of reading the sketch in the manu-
script some time ago and our judgment
then was that it was gem. A more
critical reading of it now confirms that
Judgment. Mrs. Mari makes a Confede-
rate soldier who was shot in the head
at Gettysburg, and who labors under
a hallucination, tell most touchingly
the story of the care and love he has
lavished, and continues to lavish, upon
mythical daughter. Sweetness, pathos,
and poetic conception are all interviewer
in the sketch with rare literary art
and semi-veiled by the mental vagary
of our Confederate is the type of q
class of Virginians than whom none die
more to shed lustre on southern arms
Mrs. Mari is a daughter of the late Cap
tain James Barron Hope.

FACTS TO DE REMEMBERED.

l. 1.-THE minority representation plan
has not been used in Richmond in any
gubernatorial election contest for twenty
years.
2. In the gubernatorial contest Of 1893
there was primary election and each
precinct here elected its own delegates.
g. Excepting Richmond and three Hen
rico precincts on the borders of this city,
no other communities in this State have
adopted the minority plan. Everywhere
else the candidate who is the strongest
gets the vote OF the election division
that is voting for delegates to the Roa-
noke convention. In short, other COM
munities may easily give their solid votes
for their favorite candidates. while under
our plan our city is practically prohibited
from doing so.
Query: is our plan fair TO Richmond?
II It Is TO become a precedent here how
can we ever hope TO make our city's in
fuence properly felt in State and district
conventions?

Mr.. Mills charged that these rates, ana
the higher prices that would, in conse-
quence. be exacted for domestic pro-
ducts would take out Of the whole an
nual income Of the people Of the United
States almost $500, 10000 annually Of
their earnings" All this, he said, goes
to the benefciaries of the trust fund, TO
the protected classes. contrary 10 the
doctrine Of liberty as written by our
forefathers.
The figures given by Mr.. Mills estab-
fish the fact that the proposed tariff
is. and is meant to be. prohibitory in
many respects.
Our Treasury is full 20 overlooking. but
If it were empty the proposed rates never
would fill it. And this the protectors
of the trusts well know. What the Re
publicans mean to do is TO pay off their
campaign debts. They are under obliga-
tions to the millionaire manufacturers,
and these they propose to discharge
at the expense of the forgotten man. 1t
is their deliberate purpose TO close our
ports against the importation of foreign
goods of many sorts. so that the pro-
tected manufacturers in this country may
have the benefit OF a market into which
no competition shall enter-unless that
competition be of their own making.
Well may the forgotten man" look
with disfavor upon the bill which pro-
poses to take him out of poverty by tax
ing him higher than ever before!
