THE SOUTH STILL FOR BRYAN.
Elliot DanfOrth's observations In
This Section.
NeW York JOurnal.)


Elliot Danforth has just returned from
| a tour of the South. where many leaders
have been booming him as possible run
ming mate for Colonel w. J. Bryan in
1900. Mr.. Danforth said yesterday that
the southern Democrats are n unit for
| Bryan, but divided as to just what sort
OF a platform shall be adopted by the
next national convention.
II have not yet announced my candi-
dacy for the vice-presidency said he
"The national convention must decided
who shall run for President and Vice
! President, but so far as the South Is
concerned, and perhaps the West, too,
but one man is seriously considered for
the presidential nomination, and that
man Is William Jennings Bryan. Were
| the convention TO be called for Tomorrow
l believe that solid delegations would be
sent from the South and West demand
ing his denomination. Possible issues are
overshadowed by Colonel Bryan's personal
popularity. At the same time the leaders
with whom / talked say they Will insist
that the next platform shall contain the
strongest kind Of antitrust and income
southerners seem to be as devoted to free
silver as ever, leaders like Governor Ben
ton McMilln, of Tennessee. favor the
adoption of a platform which will be ac-
ceptable In the East as well as in West
and South. 1t is not true. as mas been
currently, reported, that the South is bent
on ignoring New York and the East as
to the kind of platform that may be
chosen. found Democratic leaders there,
while insistent upon the denomination Of
Bryan, only too anxious 70 consult the
wishes of eastern leaders, so that the
party could enter the next presidential
campaign thoroughly reunited.
IL spent good deal of time I'm Ken
lucky. which went for Mckinley in 1896.
Governor Bradley himself admitted to me
that there was little hope OF the Repub-
leans carrying that State this fall.
Il told the southerners there was GER
tainly strong ground for believing that
New York will swing into the Democratic
column next year. / told them that the
Republican party OF this State. as well
as other states. had become the daddy
OF mOnopolies and trusts; that our tax
rate had climbed to outrageous proper
lions; that the canal scandals, the crea-
ton of sinecures, the Raines llquor-tax
law, and the general extravaganza and
administration hero had already pro-
vided us with formidable weapons With
which to strike the opposition.
They exhibited the strongest kind of
a desire TO meet with US and reason to-
gether as to a policy which might unity
the party throughout the Union and
cure success, which would gladden. every
Democratic heart and give us wise,
economical administration of public af-
fairs"
When Mr.. Danforth WAS asked IL he
had heard much in the South about
George Fred. Williams as a possible run
ming mate for Bryan. he replied mo, |
did not ] am told that there is move
ment in New England TO nominate VIII
liams for the presidency, but the
movement appears not to have reached
the South. As matter OF fact. | heard
more about O. II. =. Belmont than 1 did

,,urEcIsLAToRs ALL RIGHT

One OF the favorite arguments of the
opponents of the May meeting is that
what 1t purposes doing shows disrust OF
our legislators.
Thar Is too thin" In fact. II is alto
rether unsubstantial. Most legislators
crescent and prospective. believe in the
pr,nciple Of nominating and electing SEN
stors by the direct vote OF the people
search where you will. and you will find
that few who are now, or who hope here
after TO be. members OF the Legislature,
are opposed Z, the change.
Nor is II probable that our representa-
t,ves IN Congress would have voted ior
submitting the proposed constitutional
amendment II they had believed that by
30 dotng they were casting reflection
upon cur legislators.
Oh. no: that argument Will not do az
al. 1,he members OF the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia, with not many excep-
tons would rojoice IL they were relieved
of the DUTY Of electing senator's. II they
were s6lieved of the duty OF eiecung
them. Il follows that they would not
have the trouble OF nominating them.
1t would be grand thing for every
State In this Union II legislators could be
chosen because OF their special fitness as
lawmakers. instead OF because they favor
this. that, or the other man for the SEN
ate. The change would be a distinct gain

THE CONFERENCE TODAY.

The Dispatch voices the feeling Of this
community I'm welcoming the May meet
ing men here to-day. They are good and
frusty Democrats, who represent thou
sands of their fellows who are unable TO
leave their homes at this busy season. or
who can ill-afford to incur the expenses
of the trip. pleasant TO them and proht-
able TO the people as it promises to be-
II is our belief the conference will be
creditable In every way to the callers and
the cause. and that It is the forerunner
of national movement.
Except upon one point. there is likely
10 be no great discussion. But there are
two or more opinions as to how the con-
ference should seek 60 obtain expressions
from our voters on the senatorial ques-
ton this year, and there an exchange of
views may be necessary. There are some
who would have the conference petition
our State Democratic Committee to call a
State convention to deal with the whole
question. A few others cling to the be-
lief that a State primary on the first
TUESDAY in November would be practical,
hut we believe by far the greater number
favor referring the question to the seye-
raj county and city Democratic commit
tees. This plan having the element of
"home rule" in It, and being free from
the delay incident 10 the convention
scheme finds numerous ardent advocates.
or course, the proposed change in the
Eederal Constitution will be approved.
rbe Virginia delegation in the House OF
Representatives has correctly diagnosed
cub,ic sentiment in this State upon that
subject. In this matter. and in all else
that il does. we expect the meeting 70
speak out as Democrats ever should
sneak to their brethren, persuasiyely and
conservatively.
we have words Of welcome only; none
NJ warning. God forbid that the time
should ever come when the Democratic
,,artv of the old Dominion cannot trust
members such as these to gather together
pna discuss matters OF party policy and
public concern.

| The washington Post charactefizes the
agitation In favor Of tho election Of SEN
ators by the people as absurd" The
terms "gabbIe" and hog wash are also
| applied to certain phases Of the discus
| sion.
II II In absurd the entire Virginia dele
cation In the last House helped to make
| IL absurd Every man OF the delegation
| Is upon record as favoring the proposed
constitutional amendment. So. too. we
believe our State delegation In each OF
the two previous houses voted the same
way.
Indeed. absurd az the thing may be.
the people of Virginia are as nearly q
unit In favor OF the change as we have
ever known them TO be In favor OF any
political question. Throughout the dis
crssion or the May meeting there have
been few who have been heard 10 OPP
pose the change Reasons are given why
they do not favor the May meeting, but
the Posts view that II Is absurd to de-
mand q change In the method OF electing
senators is not often heard In Virginia.
And since the Democrats OF this State
are so nearly unanimous in favor OF the
proposed amendment OF the Constitution,
we cannot see why any OF them should
oppose nominating our candidates "by
some popular method"
That's a thing that "stumps' US. why
does it matter who initiated this move
ment. provided there is nothing unfair In
the plan proposed; provided the officers
who would conduct the primary. were one
ordered, were good Democrats and honest
men?
Nearly every statesman has had to fol-
low some one else's lead at some time or
other. II is not given to every one TO be
a pioneer. Then, why should 1t matter
who first bruited the scheme for pri-
mary? The only questions that should
be asked are, Is it likely that the plan
proposed will DO a fair one? VIII the
execution of it be entrusted TO Democrats
who are loyal and honest?
If both questions be answered affirm
ativey, what injustice can be done any
man? What. indeed!

THE MAIN-sTREET DEPOT.

The Dispatch is satisfied that the Coun-
ell subcommittee and the railroad COM
panies are going TO get together" with
reference to the Main-street depot scheme,
but we must confess that tho delays are
discouraging. And those who conduct
great negotiations with capitalists know
that TO lose a Gay, or a week, may cost
the life of an enterprise.
We haven't one word to say against our
councilmen's trying to protect Richmond
interests in the matter Of these franchises,
but we do beg our friends to hurry up.
They ought to be willing to work day
and night until they have come to an
understanding with the companies. They
ought to try to make more rapid progress
Nor Is it needful TO inquire minutely
into every detail. Something must be left
to future contingencies. In all the trans
actions in question the companies risk
thousands where we risk hundreds.
Again, we should not withhold our
grants till all the grace of giving has
been lost. Hasten the work of preparing
the ordinance, if possible, councllmanc
friends.

HOLDS CHEAT PHOMISIE.

The New York Herald, in an article on
the report of the beef court of inquiry,
says:
In short. the gst of the report is that
Alger should be left in office; that Eagan,
who is enjoying six years leave of alb
sence with full pay Tor publicly and be-
fore the Presidents commission calling
the COMMUNICATIVE of the army a
liar in language that would not be tole-
rated I'm the sums, should be let alone;
that the beef trust is all right. In a
word, the whole outfit, whose greed, in
competence, and mediterranean suggest
nothing worse-produced 50 mucn suffer-
ing, sickness. and death among our brave
troops is to be let alone. I5ur General
Miles IL Jumped on" He had no suf,i-
cient justification" for his charges, and
me committed an error" in not imme-
diately reporting the bad beer to the Sec
rotary of War. But the court is of the
opinion that the interests of the service
will be best subserved If further proceed
ings be not taken.
That is just about what the courts
broadside of wiring in and wiring out
amounts to. But Interests Of the SER
vice" is good. What was really meant
|
timony before the court which it didn't
want to bring out, but coudn choke of,
has demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the public that further proceedings, hon
estly taken, would sustain all that
has been charged against Algerism. And
as Mr.. Mckinley is responsible for Alger-
ism such further proceedings would Sc
riously jeopardize the interests Of the
administration I'm the campaign Of 1870.
The Herald, in closing It's article, says
that the decision of the American people
based on the testimony before the cour:
is that the interest of the service and the
vindication CT the national honor impe-
ratively demand that there shall be
further proceedings. SO say we. Further
more, we say that the demand holds great
promise for the Democracy In the next
national election, seeing that /. IS hardly
probable that the present Congress VIII
take further proceedings"
