WEDNESDAY EVENING. APRIL 10, 1900.
IT is OBSERVED that in nearly all the

IT Is OBSERVED that In nearly all the
city, county and district democratic
meetings 10 which resolutions in favor
of making the call for q constitution.
oil convention q party question are fully
discussed, they are defeated, and that
in many of them 10 which they are not
debated, they are adopted without OBJ
lection. This ia natural. Most of the
intelligent and disinterested democrats
of the State are 10 favor OF amen ding
the existing expensive and ill-con-
trived constitution, and would vote to
amend it at any other time than the
present; for they we'll know that the
whole republican, and no inconsidera-
BILE portion of the democratic vote
would be cast against il, and that its
defeat would give their party "black
eye.n and also, that raising the question
now, on the eve Of Presidential and
Congressional election, when the demo
Gratis are not of one mind on it, would
almost necessarily tend to create differ
ences that could not help provoking
snimosities that would hurt the party
at elections for officers. A constitu-
tionsl convention should not be polit.
ical affair, but one for the good OF every
body in the State, republican as we'll a.
democrat, and black az we'll as white;
and surely the democrats having every
thing in the State in their own hands
now, could not possibly suffer by lei
ting the question referred to alone, al
least until after next Novem ber's cleo
ton. Many Virginia people, though
thew have free schools and cheap news
papers, don't understand things as well
Is they might, but when they have
what they read and talk about proper
ly explained to them, they generally
manage to vote the right way.

for not seeing that bis plans were prop
