wiling TO accord 10 the South its due

wider ard more rational recognition of

'ittle wonder the President seems to be
so utte3ly unable to comprehend the con-

South. That section IS sill treated by the
Republican party as a prcner subject for

Editor OF The dimes:
Sir.-In response TO your recent letter

Hut lest in saying this / may be mis-
understood permit me to add that have
toug entertained the opinion that The
Democrats Of the South have not eNef-
cised that influence in national party
councils which for obvious reasons. II
was natural to expect they should eS-
ert.

lion.
can. therefore, conceive of no GOOD
reason v,hv the South should not exert
a controlling influence in the national
COW entiors Of the Democratic party, ana
sor one | am earnestly DESTROYS or see

be unwise and impoiuc for any sell

ginia Democracy TO assemble, tor 'hr
purr5se indicated in your letter, plleF
10 the regular State Convention, at
which the delegates 70 the National DEM
,cratic Convention Of 1891 are TO be Sc
lccted.
Il would be unwise because, In view
% the prevailing unsettled industrial ana
economic conditions in this country, to
say nothing OF those of a political char
acter, il would be mex; to impossible u

Of the National Democracy should be IN

Democratic party are well esta oil5hed
and should be well understood. 1t would
be inpolitic because, fear. any action
which might be taken along the line you

Virginia should take the lead. Let her
call her representative sons into coun-
Gil. and after consultation ct them re-
assert with no uncertain sound those
fundamental principles OF Democratic
government which are as impo' tant
to-day as they were when first enrnci-
ared by the fathers THOSE principles
NAV be briefly summarized as 70 lows:
Strict construction OF the Federal Con-
sti-ution: home rule; low taxa ton: tar

rencv; honesty Of administration and
economy Of expenditure in all depart
incnts OF the government; oPposit on to
1nonopoies and unlawful combinations
in restraint Of trade; the excl sjve
right OF tie sovereign States to regu-
late their own suffrage; equal rights for
ali and special privileges for none.
My recommendation is that the Dem
