The Democratic Keynote.

If John Sharp Williams, temporary
chairman of the democratic conven-
ton. sounded the keynote of that
party at st. Louis today, then we are
to have on the part Of the democratic
party a campaign of opposition to any
thing republican rather than of force
full. independent and aggressive effort
to promote anything particularly dem
ocratic. The platform has not come
vet, but Mr.. Williams speech, taken
as q sample of democratic oratory
during the campaign, would sseem to
indicate that the plan OF, the democrats
is to spend most Of their time denounc-
voted so much of his time to that
purpose today that he almost forgot to
say anything about the democratic
party as a party Of principles, or as
having anything particular to offer to
the country on it's own account.
The speech. however, is an interest
ing and readable one, as will be dis
covered from such extracts as we have
space to reproduce. It Is not Q
very dignified effort, but, under the
circumstances. probably the most eff.
fective that could be made. The demo
Gratis were confronted in the GRAFTON
by Mr.. Root and in the platform
adopted by the Chicago convention
with an unanswerable and overwhelm.

more cleverly met than by some such
method as that adopted by the tenn.
porary chairman at st. Louis.
The most serious part Of this dis
cussion of the republican position il
devoted to that plank in the platform
which proposes a reduction Of repre-
sentation in. the south on account O.
Unconstitutional disfranchisemen
This plank has stirred up great dea

no means certain that anything viii
be accomplished, and the declaration
in the republican platform may prove
as Mr.. Williams suggests, to be in
tended moro for political purpose
during the campaign than for seriou
consideration by congress. So long a
the republican party is unable to cor
rect such unequal representation in it
own national convention, it is nc
likely to be able to correct it in con

How It Happens.

Bluefield Telegraph: The cru
dite New York Sun, wonderingly
discusses why it is West Virginia
never honors its native sons with
politic honors. 1t gravely publish
es long list of senators and con.
gressmen past and present, and
appends the startling fact that
none of them was born in West
Virginia. Some were born in
Ohio and Pennsylvania and Mary
land, but most of them were ma.
tives of Virginia, to which state,
the Sun says, West Virginia seems
to look for its political material.
What the Sun says is entirel.
true as to fact, but it goes aibit shy
on its logic. Most of the gentle
men it mentions, like William l.
Wilson. Congressman Dayton,
Congressman Dovener. Henry q,
Davis and other great men par
ticularly the former Democratic
leaders, are year or more older
than Al years of age, and it would
have required considerable ingenu.
ity for any man over that age to
have had himself born in West
Virginia. In fact, we don't believe
it could have been done at all, in
asmuoh as West Virginia was not
itself until 1868, at which time
most of Our statesmen were pretty
husky striplings.
Doubtless Captain Dovener,
Senators Camden and Kenna ct al
natives of Virginia." would have
preferred to have been born in
West Virginia, but they could
hardly be expected to anticipate
history at such an early age.
