The dispatches tell us of great demo
cratic victories in the municipal elections
of the middle states-especially in Ohio
and Illinois. The democrats of that sec
ton have always been noted for their
great victories-when there is nothing at
stake but few local offices.

We don't see why the Inter Mountain

much valuable space in "crowing' over
the democratic victory in Butte last Mon
day. To be sure, the silver republicans
of that city furnished the tail for the dem

But why soar the proud bird, when the

Tho Washington Star Prints an Interest
ing Interview with the Governor.
The following interview with Governor
OFerraH upon the subject Of the recent
Alexandria lynchmg appeared in the
! Washington Star OF Wednesday from
their Alexandria correspondent:
The people Of Alexandria have critics.
| ed me very much for Investigating the
| lynching Of Mccoy. the negro assailaut
Of Mr.. Laceys little daughter said the
| Governor. What did they expect Of the
Governor of Virginia. Could he be eX-
pocted 10 wink at such open violation OF
the law? / hardly think so.'
The Governor said that this is only
| the second lynching that has taken place
in the State Of Virginia during his ad-
ministration. Lynching he said. had
reached q high stage. and he determined
when he took the oath Of Office TO break
ii up If possible. and he has always used
the militia when necessary to prevent
mob violence. lie very much deplored
the lynching Of Mccoy. and seemed griey-
al that in "a city the size of Alexandria
with q 10 / police force and the crack
military company OF the state lynch
ing could have taken place. The Cover
nor understands that the Alexandria
Light Infantry was not ordered out 10
protect Mccoy from the lynchers. but
does not understand why they were not
called on.
What could have stopped that lynch
lng?" asked Gov. OFerran Of the Star
reporter.
Nothing but the shedding OF a great
deal Of blood" was the response.
TO this no reply was made. Gov. OFFER
rail- heartily condemned the Alexandra
newspapers for the position taken by
them, and their unjust and harsh criti-
cism Of his official action.
Speaking OF sending the militia 70 Fair
fax Courthouse 10 prevent the lynching
OF James Lewis who is condemned 10
hang June 4tl for ass1uitne Mrs. Ida
Ro.del. Gov. OFerran said: Il was at
Old Point Comfort. just about 10 start
on a pleasure cruise. when L received
telegram from Sheriff Gordon Of Fairfax.
asking me 20 send troops TO the court at
once. as danger was imminent. on this
request I at once telegraphed the Char
lottcsyille company TO hasten TO the
scene, and If necessary 20 take a special
train. I never got any later request to
withhold the troops. as has been alleged"
The Governor was more than surprised
~ the alleged action OF the Monticello
Guards. who e. is said. stacked thirty
seven loaded Winchester rifles on the
lawn near the courthouse AZ Fairfax. and
went to the hotel FOR supper. leaving
only one man on guard, while talk OF
lynching was going on on all sides. and
the excitement az the highest pitch.
The Governor said that had Lewis been
lvnched under those conditions he would
certainly have disbanded the company the
next day.
"The state OF Virginia cannot afford to
keep militia simply for parade purposes.
II they are no good 10 enforce the laws
then we are better OF without them
The Governor did not express himself
on the political situation.

"How LONG DO PLATFORMS LAsT@

In an editorial article i'm the Richmond

House Of Representatives who voted the
other day in favor Of the Cox bill tut
his vote upon the ground that the Dem
ocratic National Convention Of l&2' had
declared I'm favor Of the abolition OF the
10 per cent tax upon the circulating
notes Of State banks. Before the clerk
had proceeded very far in calling the roll
there were no doubt q good many other
weakened Democrats, who began 10
think that they were standing upon
rotten plank Of good platform. The
sound-money men of both parties rallied
TO the standard Of the opponents Of de-
based and dcnationalized currency, and
threw their votes and influence against a
wid-cate currency. and discredited

issue circulating notes based upon
debt. These soundmoncy men

However. We do not wish 10 discuss
that point iust now. but 20 call atten-
ton 10 the fact that the vote on the Cox
bill fully sustained the contention Of the
Dispatch that platforms prepared and
issued by Democratic national conven-
lions could not be considered as indef-

II seems TO us that it IS in order for

Eye have several times had occasion Of
late 20 remark that Hon. Tom Watson.
Of Georgia. Is a very sensible man, in
spite Of his Populistic views. and he has
said some very sensible things since the
last election. We quote the following in
evidence from the last issue Of his paper.
lie says:
III there was no need Of a new party
10 combat both the old parties then the
Peoples party ought never TO have been
born. IL there is no need now OF thlrd
party TO combat both the old parties the
Peoples party has no right 10 live. II
either one Of the old parties Is right, we
should ioin H. There should be no fusion
about the matter: we ought TO join the
party which is right. and we should join
without money and without price. with
out conditions and without reservations.
If neither Of the old parties is right,
then we ought not TO Join hands with II,
by fusion or otherwise. We ought 10
glory Ia being right-nO matter how great
a minority we arc in. In ever so many
instances the minority. the despsed ana
persccutcd minority. were the men whose
principles governed i'm the future.
We admire Mr. aWtson's honesty and
his candor and HIS devotion TO principle,
however much we may disagree with him.
We respect an honest conviction wherever
we find St. In the above paragraph he
shows the difference between party prin-
ciplc and party expediency. Conviction is
conviction. whether it be in or out Of
politics and a man should on all occa-
sions stand 10y his convictions. politically
or otherwise leaving results to take care
Of themselves.
The fusion Of two parties is nothing
more nor less than a political deal for the
benefits that may accrue TO each, and it
always happens that in such deals pro-
vision is made for a division Of the spoils.
We agree with Mr.. Watson that if there
IS so little difference between the Chicago
party and the Populist party as that the
two parties may fuse in the coming cleo
ton there IS no sufficient reason why the
Populists may not abandon their organi-
cation and join the Chicagoists, and, as
Mr. Watson so honestly puts it. the union
should be without money and without
price. without conditions and without re-
seryations.
