The weak ailing, sick, and diseased

What will your decision be to-day, poor

that others are giving it, with It's certain
reward Of health, strength, vigor, happi-

It is almost needless to enumerate the

THE REAL ISSUE.
The Democratic votere; OF Chase city and
vicinity met together On Friday last and
County Chairman N. w Gregory offered
a resolution. instructfng George P. Tary
delegate to tho convention from Meek
ienburg county, to vote in favor of pro-
claiming the Constitution. The reso-
luton was unanimously adopted. Wheth-
er or not this was a representative meet
s. st was what is tho delegate from that
county to do when called upon to vots
or the question Of proclaiming the Con-
stitution? Is he to disregard the wishes
and positive instructions OF those who
elected him? We say that this is a mat
for himself. He must be the judge as to
the most honorable and expedient course.
TO pursue.
In. discussing this questions, 1t has been
the desire of The Times to lay before the
people OF Virginia for their consideration
OF confusion, and much that has been
said and written has tended to make con-
fusion worse COMPOUNDED. Some people
rontend that the convention is in honor
& and in law compelled to submit the entire
Constitution TO the full vote Of the peo-
pic as at present qualified. They argue
That it was with this understanding that
*so,, f17of
1t would be in violation of tho pledge IN
the Norfolk Convention and in violation
pr the pledge given by the individual can
Aidates to the convention to do other
wise. This, it may be added, is the con-
1ention of practically all the Republicans
who have spoken.
There are others who contend that the
convention is pledged to submit the Con-
stitution. but that it would be fulfil
ment OF the pledge to submit to the new
electorate. They say the pledge was
made to the whites and not to the blacks.
But these do not say that they are il
favor OF proclaiming the suffrage clause
and then submitting the other clauses to
those who are by this autocratic act adj
united to the suffrage. There is one
exception. Ono Virginia newspaper in
fryor OF submission has como out and SAID
frankly that the suffrage clause must be
proclaimed.
Now we ask in all candor, what TO the
voters at large and to each individual
voter is the CLAUSE os chief concern in the
new Constitutions Clearly the suffrage
clause There is little contention con-
corning the other clauses, so far as the
people at large are concerned. Yet, it
IS proposed by those who are talking SO
beautifully about submitting the Con-
stitution,' to proclaim the most important
and the all-important clause and submit
the rest
Those who are in favor OF proclaim
ang, and even some of those who are OPP
posed to it. say that # one part OF the
Constitution. and the most important part.
SIS to be proclaimed. the convention might
as we'll make short work of it and pro-
claim tho entire instrument. 1t would not
do carrying out any pledge that has been
1nade TO proclaim any part Of the Con-
s,itution It is. Just as surely a viola
sion OF the pledge to proclaim ono clause
as to proclaim all. That is why The
Times has contcnded that when sifted
down to the real issue the question is be-.
twesn proclamation and submission to the
whole part. 3s &: {
