Popular Opinion About the M"'
Conference.

Montross. Westmoreland county, Va
April 3, 1880.
TO The Editor Of the Dispatch:
The people of this section Of the State
are gratifed 10 note the favorable con-
sider9tion which the call for a Demo-
cratic meeting to devise plan whereby
some direct expression of the people
choice as TO a United States senator may
be made is attracting. The expressions
of approval Of the object of the meeting
which are pouring in from all sections Oh
the State show the trend OF popular opin-
ion. To regard the wishes or the pam
people upon such a question az this Is Dy
no means demagoSy.
The present plan of choosing senators
was adopted moe in a spirit of compro-
mise than as a cardinal principe ol our
system Of government. At the time the
constitution was adopted there were
many statesmen who feared to trust too
much TO the people, and at that time
Adams believed in the Senate as now
constituted on the ground that ii was a
protection to wealth against the agra
rian and plundering enterprises OF the
majority OF the people" TO this Jefter-
SON made answer in letter dated Octo-
Der Is 1873 Il think them unnecessary
TO protect the wealthy, because enough
of these will find their way INTO every
| branch Of legislation. / think the
hest remedy is exactly that provided by
| All our state constitutions-to leave 10
the citizens the free election and separa-
/ ton of the 'aristOr from the PSEUDO
aristoit' of the wheat from the chan.

predictions been verified Gibbons divides

2. The money period, and then-chaos.
| Under the military period of our ma
tional existence. when the spirit of mars
was founded in a solid love OF liberty,
we had men Of sterling worth ana Dlunt
honesty i'm our Senate. Under the Intel
lectual regime we had magnificent attain

The change in the mode OF electing
senators involves a change OF the Con
stitution OF the United States, which Is
a slow and tedious undertaking under the
most favorable circumstances, and out OF
the question in this case, so long az the
Senate opposes. as it has in the past ana
doubtless does to-day. The construction
mt upon the call for the May Conven-
t;on" looks to quicker action 10 accom-
plish the election of senator's by the peo-
ple.-The Rockbridge News.
The call IS addressed to all Democrats
who favor a change in the Federal Con-
stItution. and who desire that mean
while our party nominations shall be
made "by some popular method" in
short. all Democrats who sincerely SYM
pathize with the movement must consider
themselves invited.

a PRESIDENTIAL JOKE,

President Mckinley, in his Boston
speech, said
mo imperialist designs Turk in the
American mind. The future of the Philip
pine Islands is now in the hands of The
American people. The whole subject is
now with Congress, and Congress is the
voice, the conscience. and the judgment
OF the American people. Upon their Judg-
ment and conscience can We not rely?
L believe in them, trust them
As 1t is evident from the usurpatory
character of the proclamation of President
McKinley's Philippine commissioners thai
he considers himself the American mind
it is also evident that in his Boston
speech he INDUCED in a little joke at tn,
expense of the staid Bostonese. Ever
the imperialistic Boston Herald admit!
that Mckinley is exercising despoti'
power such as no modern civilized prince
outside of Russia, would dream of WELD
ing. and therefore must now appreciate
the playfulness of his remarks 10 tn

The Governor of New Hampshire In MS

say. among other things:
"The decline Of the Christian religion
particularly in our rural communities, Is
n marked feature Of the times, and steps
should be taken TO remedy it, There are
towns where no church bell sends forth
its solemn call from January to January
there are villages where children grow
TO manhood unchristened; there are COM
.munities where the dead are laid away
without the benson of the name or the
Christ. and where marriages are solem-
