THE DISPATCH WAKING UP,

The Richmond Dispatch has at last
been slightly aroused and has written
an editorial which we read without
falling asleep. strange to say. We had
taken the Dispatch to task about what
we termed it's feeble and halt hearted
support of Bryan and it's love fol-
Cleveland. We cannot think we have
read the Dispatch wrong in making
these statements and they are not IN
equivocally denied by it. Of course
they may not have been shown by any
single article but there is way OF
reading between the lines which is as
well known to the Dispatch as to any
one. Our diagnosis of the Dispatch Is
course was not altogether made from
reading between the lines, but we be
lieved it's early anxiety to drop free
silver. of which Mr.. Bryan it says is
the embodyment, was not arrived at
very suddenly so we believed must
have been desire long existing
though until now not expressed. In
hunting therefore for words which alb
solutely denied our proposition both
as to Bryan and Cleveland we were
kept awake Bnd when we did not find
them we fell asleep again and dreamed
the same old dream, of its gold stand.
ard proclivity and love for Cleveland.
We wish the Dispatch could find a can
dldate for the presidency who would
inspire it, at least enough to cause it
to write articles which will keep it's
readers awake, and be known as a
wide awake paper. Weneed such in
Virginia, and we must say that with
a few honorable exceptions we have
not had them, not even in the Dis
patch.

The Blue and the Gray.

The above highly successful wal
drama from the pen of Forbes Her.
man, the well known playwright, and
member of the American Dramatist's
Club, will be presented at the opera
house April II and IL It has a wealth
of characteristic military scenes, in
Guiding the most realistic battle scene
ever placed on the mimic stage. Unlike
most military plays that depend chiefly
upon their sensational effects for sue.
cess, The Blue and the Gray has we'll
defined and interesting plot, in which
is woven a captivating romance, and
the whole is replete with sparkling
comedy. The piece has passed the
critical judgment of the New Orleans
public and other southern cities. and
the press unite in the opinion that it
is the most entertaining drama found
ed upon our civil war yet placed before
the Southern people.

DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES.

The Democratic Committee has or
dered a primary election to be held on
April 18th for city and county. We
suppose this was the best solution of
the question, but for our part we have
no use for primary elections. In the
first place people are usually voted by
hundreds who will not support the
nominees unless those nominees suit
them. In the second place such rival.
ry is engendered before the election
takes place that the defeated parties
sulk and cry fraud. In the third place
men are voted in Democratic primaries
who are not Democrats, never have
been, always were kickers and boilers,
who are ready to cut the throat of the
nominees If they be not the men OF
their choice and what often occurs,
force on the party men, whom Loyal
Democrats do not want, but for whom
they are obliged to vote because their
sense of honor is not as cheap as that
of the boilers who forced the candi
dates on them. There is nothing
which so soon DISCREPANCIES and des
troys party as the persistent holding
of primary elections This may seem
paradoxical, but it is nevertheless
true, and the party in this city an6
n W hof ,al
longer.
We understand that the Democratic
test sought by which persons would be
entitled to vote in the approaching
primary was that they supported the
national and congressional tickets
last fall. For our part had we beer
a member of the committee we would
have hewn to that line. There was q
threat made. We have been told, that
If such clause was put i'll the cal
hundreds of men would leave the par.
ty and join with the Republicans and
support Republican nominee. This
was not startling. Are not those me1
ready to do SC any way unless they gel
what they want, have they not al
ready done SO, and can they be relied
on in any real party measure? We
ourselves prefer defeat to bulldozing
Defeat is not severe thing when we
stick to principle, but to lose both
principle and the election is very bad

Playing Politics.

1t is amusing to see Mr.. w. A,
Crawford playing politics. His gira-
lions, and leaps, and cavOrtings, are
like those of a young elephant, clumsy
and laughable. He has suddenly IN.
dertaken to talk Democracy, and on
last Monday appeared in the Demo
cratic committee room with some cut
and dried plans for holding the prima-
ry, and his plans were adopted.
On thursday morning he aired him
self in tue Daily News of this city, lee
turing that paper and the Democratic
party generally, and asserting what be
regarded as the duty of loyal Democrats.
We are not Objecting to word be
said, but We do object to the source.
When and how did Mr.. Crawford ar
rived at the point where be can dictate
to Democrats or preach party loyal
ty. lie Is an open and notorious boil
tor. He never failed yet to jump the
party fence when he wanted to or
when the fodder On the inside was less
attractive than that on the outside.
He bolted last fall, and came in Monday
last and when his cut and dried regula-
lions for holding the primary were
objected to and other proposed, he is
reported as saying that if the fact of
having voted the Democratic National
and Congressional tickets last fall was
made test be would bolt again, and
go with the Republicans with $50
other Democrats, and defeat the pri-
mary nominess-and such a Democrat
talk OF loyalty and things 'being
cooked?
There are those who would like to
know where the plan brought into the
committee by him on Monday was
prepared, and in whose interest p
There are those who would like to
know whether he will support the
nominees OF April 18th, unless they
suit him ?
There are those who do not believe
ne knows of anything being cooked''
In Staunton, and will not believe it
unless he specifies what it is. which
they call on him to do.
