journment was well founded; and, to our
mind, shows conclusively that Rhea had a
wicked purpose in view when he insisted
that the taking of the dispositions should
continue while he was represented by
counsel in "mandin condition. Why
did he want the thing to proceed with his
counsel in silly or "mandlin condition.
Would any man whose case was being
tried in court object to proposition 10
adjourn the trial because his counsel was
in a ''maudin condition, when that con-
dtion was apparent? Let these questions
be answered.
To our mind Rheas objection to adj
iournment, with knowledge of the state
his counsel was in, shows that he was seek
ing to bring about what occurred, and
that the employment of counsel in a
'maudlin condition" was part Of the plot
which came very near terminating fatally
both to Hamilton and General Walker.

ALGER ALL RIGHT.

The partisan Democratic press has been
using every effort to injure the Mckinley
Administration by claiming that General
Alger had conducted the War Depart
ment incompetently and corruptly.
Democracy was at sea for something to use
against the Administration, and with its
usual aptitude for SANDER undertook to
create an issue which it called "Algerlsm. :"
No pains were spared, by the publication
of the most sensational stories, to impress
the public with the belief that the Secre-
tary of War had been grossly imcompe-
tent and criminally corrupt in his con-
duct of the Department. But all the false
clamor Of the Democratic press and politi-
clans has been wiped away by the testi-
mony of men who are unimpesched and
unimpeachable. At recent gathering at
Detroit Generals Wesley Merritt, Joseph
Wheeler and Horatio e. King were among
the speakers, and each of them in their
remarks paid splendid tributes to the
ability and patriotism of General Alger in
his conduct of the War Department.
Two of these gentlemen, Generals Mer-
rift and Wheeler, are pronounced Demo-
crats-we do not know the politics of
General King. Will partisan Democracy,
in the face of the testimony of Merritt and
Wheeler, continue their brutal and unjust
criticisms of Alger? 1t is likely they may,
and that they will turn upon Merritt and
Wheeler for being honorable enough to
tell the truth. In another column we
print extracts from the speeches of Gen
erals Merritt, Wheeler, and King, and
will ask our readers, especially our honest
Democratic friends, to give what they say
careful consideration.

IN MAUDLIN CONDITION.

The trial of George Z. Davis for shoot
ing General Walker developed the fact
that Hamilton was not in proper condi-
ton to act as counsel at the time the
shooting occurred. This fact was shown
by the testimony of Judge Rhea, who was
q witness for Davis. In answer to ques-
ton about the condition Of Hamilton he
replied that he was in "mau Hin coDde
tion." The purpose of Rhea in making
such statement, no doubt, was to show
that it was unnecessary for General Wal
ker to shoot Hamilton to protect himself.
But while seeking to produce that impress
sion Rhea has proved fact that will not
be very much to his credit with fair men.
It will be remembered that, before the
shooting occurred, General Walker insisted
npon an adjournment ofthe taking Of dep
o .itions, because Hamilton was drunk, but
Rhea objected, and insisted that the tax
ing of dispositions should continue. Then
Mr.. Calfee, General Walkers stenographer,
requested all adjournment for the same
reas ons as had General Walker, and the
Notary refused to adjourn, because Of the
objection of Judge Rhea. Now Rhea
comes into court and tries 10 lasten re-
sponsbilty upon Walker, by declaring
that his counsel, Hamilton, was in
r'maudlin condition" at the time the
difficulty happened. This is an admission
that General Walkers request for an adj

THURSDAY, MAY IS, 1892
The MAY CONFERENCE.

The friends and supporters of the May
conference, which was held at Richmond
ON the 10th inst, seem to be satisfied
with the result, and pronounce the WORK
good. If was genuine reform move
ment it vas entirely too much on the
single idea to accomplish any great good
The only question the conference consid-
cred was that of changing the Federal
Constitution so as to have Senators
elected by direct vote of the people No
other question was mentioned In the reso
buttons adopted, although in the pream'
bic it was declared, that, in many States
of the Union, the agencies of election have
frequently been controlled by influences
and combinations so powerful as to beget
charges of corruption and distrust of the
honesty of the choice, thus discriminating
not only the party caucus, but sometimes
the whole legislative body"
To our mind this declaration was an IN
direct way of saying that the conference
was not satisfied with the manner in which
Senator Martin was elected to the United
States Senate, and that it wanted to pre-
vent a recurrence of the scandalous meth
obs that were employed to secure his cleo
ton by the Virginia Legislature. Why
didn't the May conference have the
courage to say so? Why speak of the
evil as existing in other States and not
here? Why play the cowardly part Of
calling attention to the mote in the eye Of
the sister States and disregarding the beam
in the eye of old Virginia?
We fear these reformers are too timid
to accomplish much for restoring clean
political methods in our State. There is
lack of sincerity and courage IN the move
melts that does not commend it to sin
cre and courageous men. 1t is too mucf
like the complaint of the "outs" who
wish to become the Gins" In othel
words, it looks like a selfish single idea re
firm, which seeks to change the leadership
OF the Democratic party in Virginia ahc
secure place for those who are excluded
by the Martin ring.
The most of the speakers in the con
fererce we've loud in their denunciationS
of bossism and corrupt, commercial poll
tics. This is proof positive that they be-
lieve such conditions exist in this State
Why were they not sincere enough to sc
announce? Why attempt to destroy the
tree of corruption by cutting off one OF its
branches instead of laying the ak to the
root? The conference was willing 10 de-
nounce a condition that has arisen, but
afraid TO strike at the cause. The corrupt
politics that exist today in Virginia is the
outgrowlh of our iniquitons election laws
and the dishonest methods of the party in
power. This election law has placed the
Martin ring in complete political control
of the State, and that control can never be
broken until the tools with which the ring
operates are broken.
If the supporters of the May conference
ever accomplish any thing in the way of
reform, they will have to broaden their
platform and show more courage. Gen
tlemen put on your armor, and take for
your battle cry: "Honest elections and a
sacred ballot box" Then you will win
confidence and cordial support from good
men of all parties.

MUST NOT RErRACT

cit is said by some that while England,
Holland, France and other nations may
extend protecting hand to peoples and
lands separated from the home country
benefiting both the protector and the pro-
tected, that We shall be utterly unable to
accomplish such purpose. To admit
this proposition, is to admit that our sys-
tenn of government is lacking in the essen
tial qualifications which every sovereign
power should possess. In one year we
have risen to the first place in the family
of nations; to make the smallest retrograde
step, would be at the expense of the pres
tige we have won. To return to the
starting point Of a year ago, would be to
lose what it would take century to re-
gun. In answer to those who say that
the policy of our forefathers forbade the
extension of territory, l would point to
jefferson and the Louisiana purchase,
Monroe and Florida, Polk and Texas, and
the vast territory acquired from Mexico,
and later to Andrew johnson and the ac-
QUESTION of Alaska.
eff there be any who contend that we
should not permit the island Of Cuba to
become part Of the United States, and
its people if they desire it, to enjoy all the
rights of American citizenship, l have
only to point to the official declarations of
our great statesmen, commencing with
Thomas jefferson and running through
almost the entire period of the first half
of this century. During all that period
our honored statesmen and Presidents
from jefferson to Buchanan laid down III
their messages and State documents, the
imperative necessity of making the Pearl
OF the Antilles a part of the United States.
This is bold stand taken by General
Wht eler, in the face of the leadership Of
the Southern Democracy and of Mr..
BRYAN. What will be the result Of bis
declarations? Will he win the Democracy
of the South to bis views, or will they turn
their backs on Wheeler? We recently
heard a Democrat say that, if General
Wheeler did not adopt the views of the
Bryanites on national questions they
would drop him. Mr., Bryan has decided
to make fight against expansion, and his
followers will not bow to the logic of Gen
eral Wheeler He will be forced to yield
his honest and truthful convictions, or con-
sent to be kicked aside by Democracy.
The party has always been cruel to its own
followers who dared to dissent from its
present views on political questions, and
most cruel to those who dissented from
conscientious and unanswerable convic-
ton.
