Sane ERRORS GgRhEGTEn.

The Richmond Dispatch Of yesterday
published the following special from
its Washington correspondent:
a., effort is being made TO have con-
ference of tht. Democratic leaders OF the
South. with a view 10 dominating the
next Democratic national conVenlon'
l,o. some months various Northern news
7,apers have been printing editorials along
that line, protesting to believe that the
tine had come for the South to come
hack to its old time ascendency In ma
1ional Democratic politics.
Believing this view TO be q representa-
tive one in the North. several prominent
men in various Southern States were
ready to take it up and espouse it
Among these was joseph Bryan. he
wrote personal letters to every procai-
ne1t Virginiaa, reciting the fact that this
effort would be made throughout the
South, and stating that it would be well
for Virginia to take the initiative IN the
conference. He asked his correspondents
to give him their opinions ON the propo-
sition, and 70 say il they would take part
IL the conference.
A prominent United States Senator said
10 the Dispatch correspondent: Such
scheme would work the undoing Of tie
cllect for which il was Instituted. 1t
would revive the old sectional lines, and
* the South hopes to resume its ante
beiium position in the councils Of the
nation. such a course is the best way not
to do it. It would be the greatest mis-
fortune which has yet befailen our party

anything that oven savors Of sectional

Democracy that the whole movement

II such a conference were to meet, the

deIcy. and then 80 to the national con-
rention pledged TO that man. They
would also adopt various planhs to go
into the platform, and would force them
:pto It when they reached the national
convention.
If the movement materializes and a
delegation goes to the next Democratic
convention to control It, the opinion is
expressed that 1t Will be fatal to the
