themselves Congressional committees in
yestipating contested election cases have
brought out conclusive testimony as to
outrageous miscounting of votes and intim-
idation of voters Democrats have frankly
confessed that the elections are unfairly
conducted and the Richmond Times, "
one of the leading Democratic newspapers
in Virginia, has exposed the methods by
which Democrats are counted into office.
All of this is known, and there is no
question that the Virginia Republicans ale
not given their rights at the polls and that
they have been Systematically defrauded
for years.
But it is just as evident also that this
does not authorize the Virginia Republican
State Committee to deprive the party of
the right of voting for candidates of its
own nomination and to put the party in
the light of surrendering before it is
attacked. It is true that General Malone
pursued this policy against all protests,
but it was hoped that when his influence
ceased new spirit would prevail. That
the rank and file of the party are more
courageous than the leaders is shown by the
protests against the STATE Committees Plan
made by individuals and county COM
mittees. 1t is urged that State conven-
ton be called independently of the State
Committee and a ticket put in the field.
There is ample time for such course if it is
deemed wise. 1t is better to fight wrong
and make public protest against it than
to lie down tamely before it.
The Virginia Republicans should care
fully consider whether they will not dis
organize the party in that State, humlbate
themselves and the party at large by
abandoning the field withoutan effort, and
whether it is not especially urgent this
year that they meet, reafiirm the st. Louis
platform and by casting large vote make
their dissent from the free silver policy of
the Democrats as emphatic as possible.
The courageous path appears in this case
to be also the path Of self-respect and OF
ultimate success.

It's Character and Not Luck.
* nGlohn.nnmncrnt Rem

ST. Louis "Globe- Democrat Rep.l
Character is not luck. A nan may be
lucky in knowing the full value of good
character, but unless he has the moral
strength to build and preserve it his luck
counts for nothing. One OF the advan-
tages of the Republican party
is the knowledge the people have of
its character. Its past record is an assur-
ance of high achievements in the future.
1t stands for stability and progress.
When therefore it is given control of the
Government every business man feels new
confidence and an impulse to spread out
his ventures instead of contracting them.
As this increase of activity and faith comes
even before the Republicans begin to
legislate, the adherents Of other parties
call it luck. But it is plainly an example
of the value of a good name and of a
reputation for tested capacity.

Col. LAMB has called Republican
convention, to meet at Lynchburg the 9th
of October, for the purpose OF taking
into consideration the nomination of a
State ticket. While we do not approve
of the conduct of the State Committee in
failing to call of convention we are in
clined to think that Col. Lambs action is
in-adyised under existing conditions
1t will add confusion and Work to the
disadvantage ofthe Republican Legislative
candidates if a Ea>IiVnal State ticket
should be placed in the field.
Deprived of the opportunity OF having
party rallying to a State ticket, our best
course is to preserve our organization as
best we can in suca counties as can elect
Republicans to the House of Delegates and
the State Senate.

THE VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Philadelphia Press.

The refusal of the Virginia Republican
State Committee to call State convention
to nominate candidates for Governor and
other State offices is being sharply criti-
cised both within and without that State.
1t is recognized as a surrender to the
enemy before the battle has begun and as
unworth of a party able to cast on full
poll in Virginia 10000 votes. 1t is not
the course generally pursued by the Re
publican party in State where there is
even possibility of success, and it con-
trasts unfavorably with the action Of
Democrats in Northern States like Yer
mont where they have not the ghost of
chance of success but where they never
theless invariably are found in the field
GgLting.
The ostensible reason given by the Viz
ginia State Committee for refusing tomake
a campaign is that the ballot laws of the
State place the conduct of the elections
completely in the hands of the Democrats
and that no matter what the vote may be
or how large the Republican majority is
the Democratic election officers will be
sure through fraud to turn out a Dem
ocratic majority. Under these circum-
stances the Republican State Committee
claimed at its recent meeting that it is
useless to go to the expense and trouble Of
carrying on campaign. This decision
was reached by a vote of26 in favor to 4
against and Colonel Lamb was at the same
time deposed from the Craftsmanship.
That the Democrats have practiced gross
frauds in the Virginia elections has been
proved and confessed by the Democrats

Prof. Andree, the heroic explorer, who
with two companions started in balloon
to the North Pole on the 10th of July. We
fear he has been lost. If not. land he should

pole, he will have accomplished feat that
will place him by the side of the most

Those who undertake to defend the
action of the State Committee in refusing
to call a convention say that all the
Republicans ought to stand together, that
there should be no kicking. Stand
together, for what? We have nothing to
stand for in this fight. We can only sub
NIT to an unwise and cowardly course,
which has been pursued for the purpose Of
retaining in the hands of Cabal the
Federal patronage that will come to Vr'
ginia.
