REPUBLICANS NOT REPORTED.

A remark, dropped in the presence
of few prominent Virginia Republ-
cans few days since, to the effect
that Colonel Hoge's canvass did not
appear to bc raising the wind that
was expected brought forth the re-
joinder that they 1.-THE Republicans
could. in this instance as in many
Others, not get Justice at the hands
of the State press and their CORE
spondents. The speaker argued that
nearly all hepapers of the State, and
all of the leading dailies, were dead
against" Hoge and his party and a
communication stating the facts in
connection witha Republican meeting
would not be published. lie said
that upon nearly every occasion that
Col Hoge spoke it was Olarge audi
ences, and that Oitentimes the audi
ence was composed chiefly OF whites,
many of whom were the representa-
tive men of their localities. Also,
that upon occasions when Demo
cratic and Republican speakers were
addressing audiences in the same
town the latter had the larger at
tendance at their meetings.
We do not know how far these
statements are true. but the pro-
ducer of them is a gentleman OF un-
doubted veracity. If this Is true
status of the condition of affairs it Is
a matter of regret that it should be
so. The people of the State are de-
MED the privilege OF Joint debates
and. lacking this, it is due them that
they know how the canvass Is pro-
crossing. even, if it he, from the enc
my standpoint Doubtless thepub-
lie has been denied some rich and
spicy utterances of Col. HOge; but
he can rest secure in the knowledge
that he will not be charged with
making the same speech everywhere
he goes. as it does not get into print.
If. the Colonel carries out ms
promise to stump every county ana
section the people will hear him With
out the aid OF the press.

In DECIDING for quadrennial ses-
sions of the Legislature we think the
Constitutional Convention aserred.
The movement was made with view
to reducing expenses, hence the i'm
pulses were on the side of right. In
making the term of members four
years the State will be saved great
expense and annoyance Of so many
elections as now, but we believe the
people VIII feel that regular sessions
of the Legislature should be held
biennial'y. tits more than probable
that the extra sessions viii eat up
what may be saved by this method.

ALL the warnings of the Norfolk
Landmark and Richmond Dispatch
about entrusting the people to elect
many of the officers now chosen by
the Legislature seem to have flashed
in the pan. Very pertinently these
contemporaries binted that II the
Convention wanted to popularlze Its
work it would be we'll to give the peo-
pie big say IN elect"ng officials.
Naturally, from the slow move III
this direction, we infer that the COM
mittee does not contemplate for a
moment that the new constitution
will be submitted to the people, or
evena part of the people. The Demo-
Gratis, in convention assembled, have
declared for primaries and a getting
closer home to the people, which
meant. we are constrained to believe,
a general shaking up and not a pick
ing out OF an isolated case here and
there.
