THE WAY TO TREAT KENTUCKY.

1t is not worth while for Republicans to
waste time and energy in efforts to carry
Kentucky hereafter. The yote.counters
will always be too many for the voters
Better leave the State to suffer the punish
ment which sooner or later overtakes every
State that overthrows or nullifies the right
of suffrage. But Republicans outside have
a duty to perform. When its electoral
vote comes to be counted by Congress, if
the Presidential electors are chosen under
the operations of the Goebel law, its cleo
toral vote should be thrown out, whRther
the result turns upon that vote or not. So
long as the outrage is confined to Ken
lucky, there may be no remedy under the
Constitution, but when it comes to the
election of President, Goebel election laws
in two or three States should not be per-
United to overturn the result of fair cleo
tons in other States.

THE KENTUCKY ELECTION LAW.
Spirit Of The Valley.l

Spirit Of The Valley.l
We do not think that we are very mar
row in our views, certainly not to the ex-
tent of wanting to take credit to our own
State and statesmen for craftsmanship
which properly belongs to another State
and to other statesmen.
But we confess 1t is somewhat mortify-
ing to our State pride to read day after
day euIogiums upon the perfection of the
Goebel election law viewed as an, all.round
cheating machine, and to have competent
Judges declare that in that law the author
displayed great talent in contriving
schemes for cheating the majority out of
their votes.
This kind of talk is annoying-extremely
annoying, to our State pride, and proceeds
from two classes of persons, viz l. Those
who through ignorance are disposed to
give the credit of the invention of the Ken
lucky election law to a Kentucky states
man; and I'd, those who designedly pro-
pose to rob old Virginia of credit which
belongs to her.
Every man who is well.informed upon
this subject knows that to the statesmen (?)
of Virginia is due the credit and the whole
credit ofinventing and putting into opera
ton the Law known all over the country as
the Goebel election law.

the mother of States and Preeidents-in-
vented and put into operation election
laws which were guaranteed to overcome
any Republican majority no matter how
large it was. All that was necessary to in
sure its doing its perfect, work was just to
have enough men of the right sort from
whom to choose election officers, aud the
machine was warranted to give entire salts
faction to the party in whose interest it
was worked.
Now, with these facts well known and
generally admitted, to sit quietly by and
see our political leaders here in Virginia
robbed of the credit of their inventive
genius and Lave the honor and glory go to
kentucky is rather more than poor, weak
human nature is capable Of, and we pro-
test vigorously.
We want to be perfectly candid in this
matter, however, and in doing so we must
give credit to the late Mr.. Goebel and his
Democratic fellow. statesmen of the Ozark
and bloody ground for knowing a good
thing when they saw it, and proceeding
Immediately not only to borrow it, but to
make come slight improvements upon it..
But after all this is said and every conces-
sion made which candor compels, yet the
credit of the Kentucky law belongs to Mir
GINA Democrats. They invented it. Trey
it was who improved it until it was well
nigh perfection and they it was who work.
ed it in manner which was and is far
more successful than the Kentucky way of
using it.
So, in closing this plea for credit where
credit is due, we appeal to candid men not
to rob Virginia Democratic statesmen of
what undoubtedly belongs to them.

A TRlFURCATED PARTY.
Philadelphia Press.l

Philadelphia Press.
The meeting of the Populist National
Committee in Lincoln, Neb., this week
makes certain three things in respect TO
Mr.. Bryan's party 1t will be trifurcat'
ed, it will be anti.expansion and it will
have more than one Vice-Presidential
candidate. This three headed party will
be made up of the regular Populists, who
will meet in national convention in Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, May g.; the Mid
dle.of.the Road Populists, who have call
ed their national convention to meet in
Cincinnati May 8, and the regular Demo
Gratis, who will meet in Washington to-
day to decide where their national con-
vention shall be held.
With a trifurcated party behind him
Mr.. Bryan will go into the campaign OF
1860 under much the same conditions
that he entered the campaign of 1896.
Then he had two parties to support him
although there was a division on the
Vice Presidency. There will probably be
the same disagreement this year. The
cause of the revolt of the Middle-of the
Road Populists was their announced pur.
pose to name the candidate for the Vice
Presidency, and they will adhere to this
design, and having satisfied their con-
sciences in that way they will vote for
Mr.. Bryan for President. This result
was expected and will not cause any sur
prise or necessitate any change in the
plans of Mr.. Bryan's opponents.
The only surprise afforded by the meet
ing of the Populist National Committee
was in the selection Of place for the
meeting Of the partys national conven-
ton. Sioux Falls, South Dakota, has
not been considered a competitor for
national convention honors. But South
Dakota is the home of Senator Pettigrew
and his influence is strongest in the
neighborhood around Sioux Falls. 1t is
reasonable inference then that Mr..
Pettigrew is to be the controlling force
in the regular Popullst National Conven'
ton. This will mean the adoption of the
most radical of anti-expansion platforms.
And the naming of date at least a
month before the meeting of the regu-
lar Democratic National Convention can
only be for the purpose Of forcing that
platform OH the regular Democracy.
1t is well TO know what the enemy
proposes to do. 1t is half the battle if
they come out in the open and fight fair
and without concealment. The Populist-
Democratic party appears to have done
the Republicans the favor of showing its
hand early in the campaign. The indica-
tons given SO far are that the Bryan ag-
gregation will be trifurcated, that it will
adopt radical anll.expansion platform
and that while it will unitedly support
Bryan there will be more than one candi
date for Vice. President. In the last re-
spect it will be the campaign of 1896
over again.
