If the State had copied all of our
article on Mr.. Bryan's letter. which arti-
Gle it makes extracts from and com
ments upon in it's issue of yesterday,
il would not have left its readers in the
dark as to our position.
The tenor and purpose Of our article
we're to show that, while the regular
Democratic organization could not go to
the boilers we would be glad TO have
them come to us, and stand with Us on
the platform which the State convention
will adopt. and which. as we have fire.
ouently said. must and will reaffirm the
Chicago platform. We wrote in the in
terest Of reconciliation, and in a spirit
of rebuke to those who would departy-
ize the boilers and have them repent
in sackcloth and ashes" The Dis
patch has never wavered from its con-
tcntion as to what course precedent and
the voice Of the vast majority Of the party
demand the State convention should take
touching the Chicago platform. At the
same time. 1t recognizes that many Of
our boiling brethren were thoroughly
honest in differing with US, and TO such
of these as desire 10 renew their allegi-
ance TO the regular organization, and
would rather vote with their friends
than with their ancient enemies, we
would extend hearty welcome.

POT LUCK SOLO.

We conclude from recent utterances OF
the Times that II our state Democrauc
Convention shall insist upon following
precedent and reafllrming the Chlcaso
platform the Times Will take pot luck
not with us. but by Itself.
AS we understand its position. on no
account will II support State ticket
nominated upon a platform which en-
dorsos the national Democratic PLATFORM
Very well. BE Il so. The Times gave
the marble hand 10 our state ticket III
1859. and IT fought us. out and out las'
year but we carried Virginia. all the
same. So we doubt If its refusal to take
pot luck with us this year Will upset Us
very much.
Though we cannot have the Times with
us. we shall certainly have the help OF
hundreds Of those Democrats who were
coerced into voting against us last year.
We expect the help. also. OF many goiu
Democrats. who will prefer to vote for
old comrades upon a free-silver PLATFORM
rather than for old enemies upon NC
Kinley tariff platform. In other words
we hope that most Of the gold Demo-
Gratis will follow the example of the
Democratic debt-payers who, when the
tug of war came. preferred to take pot
luck with us rather than with the Re
publicans.
The reaffirmation Of the Chicago plat
form by our State convention seems obli-
gatory, but our party should extend a
cordial invitation to the gold Democrats
to return to their old places. Especially
is such an Invitation due to those Of
our brethren who by stress Of crcum-
stances were compelled to vote against
their own wishes. Among these are some
of the best voters that our party ever
had, and to them, above all others. should
be given every possible assurance that
the pleasure of their company again is
sincerely desired by the Democratic party
of VIRGINIA

for It's speedy repeal. We hodsto the
use OF both gold and silver as thUstand-
ard money OF the country. and TO
the coinage of both gold and silver. with
out discriminating against either metal
or charge for mintage. but the dol
lar unit OF coinage OF both metals must
be OF equal intrinsic and exchangcable
value or be adjusted through interna-
tional agreement. or by such safeguards
OF legislation as shall insure the main
tenance OF the parity OF the two metals
and the equal power OF every dollar at
all times in the markets and in payment
OF debts; and we demand that all paper
currency shall BE- kept at par with and
redcemable in such coin. We insist upon
this policy as especially necessary Tor
the protection of the farmers and labor
ing classes. the first and most defence
less victims OF unstable money ana
a fluctuating currency.
BANKING.-"W recommend that the
prohibitory 10 per cent. tax on state
bank issues be repealed.
From the foregoing extracts IT appears
that our three last gubernatorial con-
ventions. expressly endorsed and APP
proved the platforms OF our national
conventions. This policy has been con-
tinuous in Virginia since the title
conservative" or ."Conservative-Deno
cratic" party Of Virginia has given place
10 the title democratic party" Of Nir-
glnia.
our Democratic state Convention OF
1889 pronounced uneluivocaiiy in favor
OF the reconciliation and free coinage
of silver. But the convention held IN
she!burne's Warehouse here, on August
Is 1855 found itself confronted, so to
SPEAK. by the utterance of the chicago
convention of the previous year. AS 10
the precise meaning of that plank q ,he
Chicago platform, there were TWO oplh-
ions. and our State convention did not
attempt any elucidation Of it, but con-
tented itself with "reiterating II ana
demanding an expansion of the currency

From the Alexandria Times Of yes
terday we find that the Norfolk Land
mark has recently had long article in
reply to one Of ours, comparing the ex-
penses Of Virginia and North Carolina.
We did not see the article when ii first
appeared in the Landmark; but, fortu-
nately, we have recently had articles
which, we think, answer the Landmarks
chief objections.
1t appears that State taxation in North
Carolina for government and school pur-
poses is 43 cents, while ours is 30 cents
on the 500, and this, too, nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that North Carolina has
fine income from her holdings in rail-
roads. But If we were 10 end this state
ment here we should mislead our read
ers which it is never our purpose to do.
And so we must explain that while the
STATE rate in North Carolina is higher
than it is here, the county and city taxes
here are much higher than there.
These are facts. we believe.
Upon the whole, we concede that the
aggregate taxation in North Carolina is
lower than in Virginia but we are in
formed that the school sessions there
are much shorter than ours are.
Finally, we say that if our counties
and cities really wish to cut expenses
down TO the North Carolina level. they
are at liberty to do so without calling
constitutional convention for that pur-
pose.
And right here we would again call at
tention to the fact that the greater part
of the revenues Of Virginia are not fur
nished by our agricultural community, as
towns.

Lnbby's Jubilee Lay.

O4ondon TRUTH
On this great day Of fetes and feasis,
All men rejoice. then why not beasts?
why should not they their feelings SHOW
Fired by patriotic glow.
And gladly hail the glorious day
With roar with yclp, with scream, with
bray?
And prove how animals can cheer
The advent of this famous year.
The noble horse, beyond a doubt
With zeal will draw his loads about;
The bull will below at his best
While donkeys al will bray with zest;
Terrific rOarings from the 100,
And shrieks from many cockatoo,
Shall show that rOyalty's the same
In savage beasts as well as tame.
Nor shall the strains of rapture cease
From nocks of foxes and Of geese;
Insects shall hum from flowers and trees,
Homage shall come from Wasps ana bees,
The fish shall flap their tails about,
And. if tits possible. get out:
While. eager just to have a glimpse,
Up will pop heads of loyal shrimps.
Beasts, birds. and fishes we shall see
United for the Jubilee;
Horn. hide, and shell. hoof, fur, and fea-
Their
For once with man shall join together;
Union of hearts at length appears
Because the queens reigned sixty years.

Philadelphia is to unvei another monu-
ment to-day-a bronze statue Of stephen
'Girard, on the western plaza of the City
Hall. and in connection with the event
the Philadelphia Press says: "The nearly
100000 which Girard bcqueathed TO the
city of Philadelphia for the purpose OF
founding and conducting Girard College
has grown into at least S25Ol00O For
many years the annual income from the
Girard estate has exceeded d,OJOV0O. ana
only about half of that sum is required
for The maintenance Of the college. This
vast estate grows larger with the years,
so that the institution which bears the
founders name is not only the greatest
of its kind in the whole world. but by
far the richest college in America. An
army Of 1900 students dwells within It's
historic walls

To the Editor of the Dispatch:

count in your columns of the movement
on the part of the Richmond Bar Asso-
citation looking to the acquisition of the
Marshall House as a permanent home ior

gestion was first made by myself,

you published a letter written by me
from Westover. where | was at the time,
giving my reasons for the suggestion, and
| wrote an interesting sketch of the
house, and subsequently / presented the
matter TO the State Bar Association at
the White Sulphur Springs. on August
g 1895. but the movement proved abcrtive.
