THE corD DEMOCRATs.

To the Times we would say II IL proper
and inevitable that our State Democratic
Convention should endorse and reafiirm
the essential features OF the Chicago
platform. And It is especially foreor-
dalned that It viii endorse and reaihrm
the free-silver plank that 1t adopted at
stanton and that our national conven-
ton adopted at Chicago.
Wen knowing or. at least fully DeiieV-
Ing, these things. numbers Of our goidi'e
friends have signifed their purpose 10
participate In our next primaries ana
support our nominees. Some Of these
are men who were coerced into voting
against their wishes last fail. Others are
mcn who Of their own volition bolted our
ticket and are now sorry they did So
seeing that the promised prosperity has
not come. and seeing the sort OF tariff
that Mckinley and Dingley threaten to
Impose upon the country. Yet others are
men who are resolved to follow the ex-
ample OF the Democratic debt-payers who
could not approve Of readjustment, but
preferred to take pOt-luck with their
Democratic brethren rather than with
their old enemies
Subject to these conditions, we hope
that our city and county committees and
our next State convention VIII do every
thing possible TO make 1t easy for the
gold Democrats 20 return TO their places
In our party. As we have said before
many OF these Democrats were coerced
into voting against US, while others were
simply mistaken as 10 their duty and the
course they ought to take. Already some
of our leaders, original free-siiyer men.
are considering how our next platform
may be drafted so as TO embody the
party's great articles Of faith free silver
include) and yet prove acceptable TO
such Of the gold Democrats as really de-
sire TO return to the Democratic party.
We do not believe any disposition will
be shown to require these gentlemen to
repent in sack-cloth and ashes. so to
speak. As we have said before. we can
not 80 to them. but they may come to
us, and for so doing they would have
ample precedent in Virginia politics.
