TIE cnfcAGn ELECrIoN.

The Chicago Chronicle. which ought 20
know what il is talking about, ridicules
the statement Of q Northern newspaper
that the late election in that city was an
endorsement Of the Chicago silver plat
form and Of Bryan and Altgeld, as rep
rcsentng the principles controlling the
actions of the Democratic party. Nothing
could be farther from the truth. says the
Chronicle. II then gives assurance that
the voters Of Chicago have not departed
from their belief in honest money. nor
from their devotion 10 the cause of good
government, which they expressed at the
polls by over 10000 majority last fail, and
that II the same issues had been pending
in the late city election that were pending
six months ago. the result would have
been the same as il was then. 1t was
distinctly understood. adds our Chicago
contemporary, that while all the local
platforms assented in some way to the
declarations of the respective national
platforms, they also affirmed that no
national issue was involved IN the cleo
ton, which related only to questions OF
municipal administration.
But. while holding this view the Chron-
icle does not overlook the fact THAT there
is intense public feeling throughout the
country excited by the dishonest betrayal
,' the people by the Republican party IN
congress. to use the power gained through
an honest money victory. for the purpose
Of depressing the people By new infic-
| tons Of taxation
1t seems to us that the Democratic party
Of Virginia may study this lesson with
profit. The Chicago Democrats fought out
their battle on local issues, because local
issues only were involved in the contest
and the Democrats won a handsome VIC
tory. If the Democrats Of Virginia are
wise enough to do the same thing, there
&c M question as to the result In TINS
state. But if they insist upon making

tend to forecast.

The Rev. DR.. starr. Of the Broad Street
Methodist church. said some very sensible
things in his sermon last Sunday about
newspapers. 1t was the opinion OF some
people. he said. that the newspapers
should print only the good news, and sup
press the bad. but, as Tor him, he wanted
both sides. He wanted to know just what
the devil was doing. Newspapers give us
both sides. he added, and that looks fair.
Some people think that our families will
suffer by tho publication Of unwelcome
and repulsive items Of intelligence. but
Or. Starr thinks not TO the pure, all
things are pure. and we must rely upon
the purity OF the pure in our homes for
the control Of all the rest. Moreover, "
no went on, "a God-fearing editor Will be
careful TO give a healthy opinion about

blessings which the daily papers have

creation where TO toss the refuse. There
Is 10 harm in light. If we would only

It is an interesting coincidence that sim
ultaneously with this sermon Of DR..
STAIRS. the Rev. Or. Tudor preached a
sermon on the devil and exposed the ad-
versary OF mankind in the Doctors own
forceful style. The fact is, there is evil
in tho world. and the question with
preachers and with newspapers is If they
shall shut their eyes to this fact. and
preach about the good in the world and
tell only the good stories, ignoring the
evil. Or. Tudor himself stated By way
