SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS SHOULD
HOLD A CONVENTION.

II was obvious to all rejecting men
that the election of 1896 ended the cause
of free silver. When issues are tough'
out before the people and verdict rem
dered by them that cause Is ended. III
has always ended thus and 1t always
will. because the average sense OF the
people Is what controls, and the average
sense of the people always declares that
one trial is all that any cause is entitled
TO. All rejecting and observing men
knew. therefore. when the result or the
last Presidential election was mace
known that free silver was DEAD. Inc
enthusiastic leaders of that party held
ON TO their cause though and determined
10 make another effort to induce the pub
lie TO listen TO them. They accordingly
pressed free silver upon the country at
the Congressional election last week, and
what has been the result? They nave
secured the whole vote from the South
and from the silver States but they have
made absolutely no impression upon the
great body OF the country. The Demo-
Gratis have elected some members OF Con-
gress in New York and few or the
other Northern States, but those elected
are not for FREQ silver. They are sound
money men though elected as Democrats.
They have the whole delegation from the
South, but that delegation was returned
upon other considerations than the oues-
ton Of free silver and they cannot claim
that the South would be for free silver
IL there were a fair election ON that
question alone. 1t ought to be obvious
therefore, TO every advocate of free silver
that his cause is dead, and that 1t VIII
he suicide as far as that election would
be concerned for the Democratic party
TO nominate a candidate for the Presi-
dency in 1900 upon flee silver platform
Not only so. but with its record for free
silver II must hasten to cut itself loose
from and turn its back upon free silver
II n hopes 10 regain the confidence of the
nation sufficiently to have the ghost of
a chance to elect its candidate.
The stronghold of free silver is the
Southern States. Take them out OF the
free silver column and there would not
be free silver party enough TO raise a
laugh even In the nation. Why shall the
South remain welded to this economical
error when 1t is so plain that all the rest
OF the country has turned Its back upon
II? Why shall not the South begin now
and at once, to agitate change which
will send a representative to the next
Democratic convention to demand that
free silver shall be abandoned as party
tenet? There is q vast body OF conserva-
| tism in the South. Why shall 1t not be-
gin ut once to assert itself and to insist
that our next representative in national

When the Regiment Came Back.

All tho men wero hale and -istrong as

Through the cheers that drowned the

Oh. the music Of their feet keeping time
to drums that beat,
Oh, the glitter and the splendor OF the

As with swords and rifles new, and in

The regiment went marching 10 the

When the regiment came back all the

And the uniforms had faded into gray,
And the faces OF the men VINO marcheu

Seemed like the faces Of the dead VINO

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION Law.

A, Associated press dispatch from
opisvilIe saws that five Republican con-
qressional nominees publicly declare ,hat
,bev will contest the election OF the"
democratic opponents on account u 'i'
Goebel election law.
our readers know that this election
law which was enacted by the last Dei"-
ocratic legislature is modelled after tle
Virginia election law. The LouisViiie
nisnatch which is the organ of tho Ne"
nor,ocracv in Kentucky, was the speciai
,,aro,ion Of this bill while 1t was before
tho LEGISLATURE, and one Of the strongest
arguments that it advanced was tnat the
law had operated most satisfactorily IN
virginia and with uniform success 10 the
Democratic party.
Under that law several DeHiocii''o
congressmen were elected from heh-

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER II, 1885,
z77r rpo11pI,E AT WILMINGTON.

We are greatly distressed that our
fr,ends down in Wilmington should nave
naa a bloody fight with the negroes
we had hoped that the contest We"
endad with the close Of the polls Oh
Tuesday evening. and that there "ou'u
10 no further trouble between the races
The results of the election wouiu se''"
10 have settled the status.
The day after the election the winning
son Messenger, one of the leading news
napers of that city. contained an eoi'o-
TIA, article on the exact Attitude Oh
,v,,,es Towards Negroes" which was
NOT only pacific in tone. but eonciiatuy'
The Messenger declared that the ieehns
ct the white man towards the negro
was by no manner of means that Oh ui-
S~,enaliness or hatred. 1--WE have talk
"A with no white man In the last three
.norths while the campaign has been pro-
xressIng with great zeal and interest,"
A. goes on, "who uttered a word OF nos
sll,ty or unkindness for the better class
of negrces-not one. All with whom We
have conversed said that they felt Kinu-
w towards the blacks and pitied them
for their blindness, their iniatuauon'
their faults and cruel leadersnip-pau
white men who use them and befool thenn
for their own selfish ends VINO were
great deal meaner, more depraved ana
moro censurable than the negroes. All
have said that they wanted the blacks
TO be contented, prosperous and happy
We have no doubt that the Messenger
expressed the sentiment of the white
people of Wilmington. Yet in less than
forty-eight hours after that article was
printed the whites and blacks OF the
city were engaged IN bloody street
fight.
Why a race riot, If the whites feel so
kindly towards the blacks? What caused
this race clash In Wilmington? why
rannot the whites and the blacks, II they
Alike each other, and they do, live to-
gether In peace and friendship, Politics!
Politics.. Politics.l That is the answer.
That is what has gotten the negro into
trouble ever since ne was set free, and
we have been trying TO impress that fact
upon the black man. The whites do not
trv to pull the negro down. The negro
has a fair chance In this country, not
only to make living. but to advance
himself. and II he educates himself and
accumulates property, he Will be re-
spccted for what he Is worth, he will
be protected In his property rights, he
will have the good will OF the white
man. 1t Is only when the negro tries to
force himself into office. only when he
tries to lord 1t over the whiteAman that
he comes to grief.
The negroes in Danville Va. learned
this lesson in 1883 after several of their
: number had been shot down in the
streets. The negroes OF Wilmington did
not profit by the experience OF theii
brethren at Danville. but they have
learned the lesson now by their own sac
experience.

snnnd Money All RIGHT.

While the discussions az 70 the party

on. it would be very foolish TO have any
fears about the money question. TAKE,
for instance, the two Democrats elected
from Maryland Colonel John Walter
Smith is the president of national
bank, and is as sound on the money
issue as any Republican in the State.
Major James w. Denny, elected from
the Fourth DISTRICT. announced plainly
In his speeches that he was for gold, and
il was this honest declaration that con-
tributed greatly to his election.
These Instances can be duplicated in
practically every case where a Demo-
crat has been elected TO Congress from
an Eastern or a Northern district, ana,
as these make a considerable number
II IS plain that any free silver agitation
would be hopeless and powerless. But,
further than that, the Senate VIII be a
sound money body, and, further than
that still the Presidents position is I'M
alterably for sound money. IL Is well
TO remember these things. especially In
vlogv OF the fact that any doubts on the
money question operate against public
