A washington dispatch OF the 3rd

su porl Bryan, the former Pos master
General sa'd he had been misrepre-.
suited. In view of the attitude Of
former President Cleveland on the
candidacy Of MIR. Bryan, the alleged.
statement OF Mr.. Wilson that he was
ready to support the silver advocate
caused no little comment. Mr.. Wilson
said 49,.
II declined to talk politics at Kansas
City, telling the man who questioned
nae that was out Of politics, and, as l
had spent four months in an Arizona
mon, had been removed from
political currents. 49, -
81 did express the opinion that
Bryan and Mckinley would be the
nominees, as in 1896. and that there
would be new issues in the coming
campaign, but as to how those issues
would affect the result, or as to proph-
esying, I expressly declined to give
any opinion.
81 did not speak of the candidacy
of Admiral Dewey in the fippant
manner reported Of me, but merely
said that whatever his chances might
have been had he been candidate q
year or 80 ago, his announcement, l
thought, came too late to affect what
now seemed to be the fixed current on
both sides. This is the sum total OF
any expressions I made

LET THE PEOPLE SPEAK.

The Democrats of Virginia in con-
vention assembled atNorfelk discharged
their duties speedily and we'll Their
most important work was to place the
Democratic party on the side of con-
stitu onal revision. The question now
gees to the tribunal of last resort-the
people. The voters OF Virginia. will
render their verdict at tie polls on the
oath Instant.
1t behooves every friend OF consti-
tutional revision to at once begin
to exert himself to stimulate interest
in the question and induce every Dem
ecrat to so to thelpolls and cast lis
ballot for the convention. Nothing
but lukewarmness or carelessness can
now defeat tne measure, for we are
fully persuaded that majority of the
voters favor radical changes in" our
system CT State government. No man
should fail t. do his pant to bring
about these changes.
1t is q toregtne conclusion that the
Rel utlcan party will oppose the call
for convention, for thousands Of Re-
publicans only inquire what the Dem
ocrats want, and imme liately array
themselves on the other side. In toe
many instances the interest OF party i'
considered before the interests OF the
Commonwealth. Every intelligent
citizen knows that the interests OF Viz
ginia are safer in the hands of the
Democrats than in the hands Of the
Republicans. Therefore at this i'm
portant junctuie in our history Demo
Gratis should stand shoulder to"sheul.
der, and insure the calling Of a con-
ven,ion that will give Virginia consti'
tuition adapted to existing conditions.
and one that will promote rather than
ard the prosperity of the Common
wealth.

THE NEGRO RETROGRADING.

THE NEGRO RETROGRADLNG.
Few publications have attracted
such wide and tn 'ughtful attention
all over the country as the paper read
by Dr.. Paul B Barringer, otvthe Uni.
versity Of Virginia, before the Tri. State
Medical Society in Charleston on the
race question. 1t is hard to give an
idea of the strength and force of DR..
B ringers reasoning without repro
ducing the entire article. The follow
inc extra ct from the Charlotte Observer
gives compc site of press opinions,
North and South, on the paper aud its
s.rikin g conc Illusions:
It has put the whole country, North
and South, to thinking. Through the
Richmond Times, we see that the
Medical Record, printed in New York.
quotes an extract from DR.. BarrInger's
article and comments approvingly there
on. "In every part of the Soutp,"' Dr.
Barringer said, cit is the opinion OF
every man of unbiased mind that the
second generation (of negroes) is in.
finitely worse than the first" The
Medical Record says that this is the
Judgment OF an educated Southerne
10 regard to the negro question, looked
at from the moral standpoint, and as
such is entitled to the closest tteKtion
IF thinking men. 1t adds that the
Medical Record has many times called
attention the physical deterioration OF
the colored race en- this continent,
clearly owing to the unsanitary con-
ditions in which its members live; that
the matter is Ct the most serious i'm
portance, and, naturally, assumes a
most ominous aspect. 1t admits that
the abolition of slavery, instead OF sx-
ercising favorable influence upon the
negro morally and physically "would
rather appear to have had a contrary
effect" 1t admits, too, that "tEe
physical degeneracy of the Afro Amer
can race naturally becomes more and
more evident, while it is to be feared
that the moral condition OF the celcred
man in this country is at lamentably
low ebb"
