The Times has long recognized the
fast that a respectable minority party
is needed in every Southern State, and
we have not hesitated to say that such
a party is needed il Virginia But
that does not mean that the time has
come to overthrow the Democratic
party in this State and put the Rcpuo-
lican patty in power. The Republican
party as now constituted is certainly
not entitled to the respect and conf
dence Of the people Of Virginia, ana It
would be rash and foolhardy for them
to turn out the Democratic party,
which they know to be true TO the best
interests of the State, and give Colonel
Hoge and his followers an opportunity
10 make experiments.
We say that this is no trifling mat
ter. 1t is a serious proposition, ana
the people of this State must consider
it seriously. They must do more than
this; they must see TO it that Montague
and Willard and Anderson get tri-
umphant election, and that the party
has a good working majority in both
branches of the Legislature.
