period. As a popular journalist has said at does

ton convention would put up.
As we understand Governor O'Ferrall,
his position is much the same as that Of
the Register.
The Gold Demoracts OF Virginia fully
recognize the fact that II is necessary
mat the affairs OF this state shall be con-
trolled by the Democratic party. and all
rumors that they propose TO form an al
lance with the Republicans, ,Popullsts and
negroes are absurd. They will not. in our
opinion. attempt TO defeat the ticket nor-
mated at Roanoke. and II their votes are
necessary 70 It's election. we believe that
the great body OF gold Democrats Will not
hesitate TO vote for the nominees
But unless II be necessary to save the
ticket, they will not cast a vote, which
the Free siverites might construe into
an endorsement OF the Chicago platform
II II becomes necessary for them 10 vote
for tho Roanoke nominees, they will do
so with the full understanding that they
vote for the nominees. and not for the
platform.
