colored mans paper which is Of more than
local interest. He said that Mr.. Cooke
was "a gentleman Of rugged honesty and
integrity, and was a true representative
of that type OF Southerners who are
the negro's best friends on earth In
all ages he went or, the best and
noblest elements : whites from Virginia
TO Florida have always proven to be our
best friends. The loss of Mr.. Cooke is
a severe bow to every colcred person
at this place, and they mourn their loss
as sincerely and earnestly as do thou
sands of whites throughout this South
land
The Southern negro has nothing to fear
from men like Professor Cooke, and
there are thousands and thousands OF
such men in the flesh throughout the
Southern States. These men have the
S kintIest regard for the colored race, and
would do all in their power to help the
black man in lifting himself up and
lettering his condition. It is in that
spirit that the proposal is made in Viz
ginia to disfranchise the great body OF
negro in this movement. There is in it
no disposition to put him down and
hu,niliate him and deprive him of his
rights. But the negro vote in Virginia,
as in other Southern States, has been a
disturbing factor ever since the war, and
negro suffrage has done more to hurt
the black man than all things else COM
bined The time has come when in the
interest of both races the negro voter
should be retired, and when the whites
should take affairs of government into
their own hands. Let US nave new
qualified suffrage and a simpler form OF
government. After that inducements VIII
be held out to the black man to qualify
himself, and having shown himself to be
competent to exercise the right OF fran
chise, we sincerely believe that that right
will be extended to him.
There are many coored men in this
community and in this State who read
The Times and who know that The Times
is their friend. We would never will
ingly wound the feelings of such men,
nor would we give them bad advice if
we knew it But we have no hesitation
in advising all such colored men to vote
for the Constitutional Convention. be-
lieving as we do that it is to their i'll
terest to have such convention and to
have a qualified suffrage in this State.
1t may be a bad thing for the profess
sional negro politician, but to the col
ored man who is not in politics, but who
is in business for himself and VINO Is
trying to better his condition, this move
ment will be a blessing rather than
blight.

CURRENT TOPICS.

The statement having been made in con-
nection with the debates before the Mont
gomery Convention thai
NJ" ~ ''oau Mr.. c. r. Breckenridge, OF
''' Arkansas, discussed the
advisability of lynchng," d correspondent
Of the New York Times rises to explain.
81 fear that the statement would imply,
says he, that Mr. Breckenridge had spoken
more or less in advocacy of the practice
he discussed. It is due to Mr.. Breckin-
ridge, as we'll as to the conference, that
it should be everywhere known that he
spoke against lynching-and that he spoke
in no uncertain terms. Indeed, the discus
sion of that subject al this conference was
especially significant. 1t was an open
secret that the committee in order 10 be
fairly representative, had hunted through
every part of the South without finding
single man of standing and repute who
would be willing to take the affirmative
side of the question, 'Is Lynching Advis-
able? 1t was then thought that some
such man would appear in the informal de-
bate, but was told by one of the gentle
men in charge that there was not a vol
unteer who wished to take that side. That
not a word in favor Of lynchnS should
have been heard at this representative
gathering OF Southern men, and that two
such conclusive papers as those of Mr..
King and Mr.. Brecl1inridge should have
been called forth against it-this is surely
not without its significance. I hope tie
printed reports of this conference here in
our own State will be read all over the
land. Northern people should take such
means of knowing the real thoughts of the
men of the South. They know little, as
rule, except what they hear from the pro-
negro agita tor.
Sentiment in the South is changing.
There was time when the great body of
Southern men were in favor of lynching
for a certain crime, but Southerners are
now seeing that when iynchng is tolerated
in enc instance it Will be hesorted to in
others.

SIR. w1rHERs, SPEECH.

we are glad to have had a speech on the
Constitutional Convention question from
Mr.. Eugene Withcrs. of DanvIlle. Sew
eral years ago Mr.. Withers brought me
attention of the people Of Virginia TO the
need of Constitutional Convention, and
that. TOO, without any reference whatever
to the question OF suffrage. Mr.. Withers
said a; the time that he favored a Con-
stitutional Convention to reform our
complicated and expensive system OF gov
eminent, and he made strong arguments
in support of his contention.
We have never believed that expenses
can be reduced 10 the extent that. Mr..
Withers claim, but reform is needed, and
If we get the right sort Of men in the
convention. the number of offices viii be
cut down and the expenses of State gov
eminent materially reduced.
But this is not the main question. There
is demand in this State for radical
changes in the suffrage. and that of itself
is enough to demand the calling of
State convention.
On the eve of election we again impress
the fact. which seems to US to be Of the
greatest importance. that this is a con-
test between the Republican party and
the Democratic party, and that II the
convention measure is defeated it will be
a defeat for the Democracy and a victory
for the Republicans Il will not do to let
the Republicans beat the Democrats on
will be trouble for the Democratic party,
and no doubt about it. There is every
reason why Democrats should give this
issue their cordial support. and we urge
them to do so.

DEMOCRACY'S OPPORTUNITY.
Some Sensible Advice for Il Friend CT.
the Party.

the Party.
The announcement that the regular De-
mocracy will not recognize the Popul:st
nomination al Sioux Falls Of Hon Charles
A. Towne for TiCe-PresideEt on the Bryan
ticket, opens up the very widest range OF
speculation. 1t suggests in the first place
that the Democratic leaders have finally
come to-their senses and are now deter
mined to conduct the campaign upon
straightout party lines. It suggests, also.
the idea that the leaders intend to make
their fight on the bold. but conservative
issues defined, long years ago, by Jefferson
and Jackson-issues which hundreds OF
thousands OF patriotic voters Will entausi-
astically advocate, and all the more so
because the crazy and tanatical and
feather headed vagaries of Populisn have
been repUda ted.
Not being in the confidence of the Demo
cratic cI1eftans, and having. therefore.
to construct our theories entirely by in
ference, we may possibly have taken a
too roseate view of the party's prospects.
We venture TO believe. however. that
present indications point to new ana
more wholesome departure in Democratic
policy II it be true that they are cutting
loose from tle false gods and misleading
chimeras of the past few years, the
chances all are that the Democracy are
on the eve of a complete reaction The
dances are that they propose TO divest
themselves OF the hitherto fatal handicap
OF Popuism and 10 make their fight on
the broad policies and principles handed
down to them by the fathers In otner
words, they seem likely TO make a simple
and straightforward Democratic fight,
conceding nothing for the purpose Of al
liances and standing squarely on the
ground long ago defined and limited by
the great men OF the nation
II we be warranted in this hypothesis,
and if the leaders seriously intend 10 carry
out the policy they now seem to have
adopted the campaign will soon become
as interesting as il promises to be close
and desperate Naturally, there will De
radical and sweeping changes in the per
