Since the decline in silver, so
little attention has been paid to the
question that interest in it seem. to
be dying out, in Virginia, as well
as many of the other states. Wheth'
er the discussion Of the question on
the hastings, in a state election, will
have the effect upon the people of
getting them interested in a sub
iect which of itself attracts but
little interest, remains to be SEEN.
Are we to elect our representa-
tives to the Legislature simply be
cause they voted for Bryan and
favored the free coinage of silver,
without regar.i to their sentiments,
upon subjects which interest us as
citizens of the state of Virginiu7
That seems to be the effort
of our politicians. If that be
the only subject of interest,
we could we'll afford to do without
q session of the Legislature. Our
representatives will certainly go to
that body untrammelled by any
oppression Of opinion, upon the part
OF their constituents, IN regard to
matters Of purely state interest.
They will be certainly free to ex
ercise their own judgment upon
questions of State officers and other
subjects which will be brought to
their attention after the meeting Of
Shat body.
