THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS PRESI.
DENT

Dr. Edwin A. Alderman, former
president of Tulane University. who
was recently elected the first presi-
dent of the University of Virginia,
has accepted the position. This IN
formation affords a source of pratifi
cation not only to all Virginians,
who are particular y interested, but To
the South aud indeed the country at
large. The change in the funda
mental management of this great in
stitution of learning from the former
Anticipated method to the more
modern arrangement involving an
official head, marks an epoch i'll the
history OF Virginia's University. 1t

on and kept abreast of the greatest
institutions of learning in the Goun
try in spite of the fact that she has
never yet received any considerable
endowment from any source, and IL

There seems to be disposition
now on the part of some politicians
TO blame both Hill and Parker for
the position in which they have
placed the Democratic party in thu
campaign. In the first place, they
assert that Hill knew the views OF hi
favorite on the financial question be.
fore he left for st. Louis and all the
time he was in the. meetings of the
committee on resolutions, although
be declared he did not and had not
talked with the Judge on the subject
Then the disconnected claim that
Judge Parker should have made his
views public so that the party could
have acted more intelligently. 1t is
quite likely that those who find fault
about this matter would find fault
anyway II Parker's telegram had
never been written, and will no doubt
be found on the other side, therefore
their objections should have no
weight with anyone. The party has
declared that the money question is
not an issue, and Judge Parker Gays
that the gold standard is fixed by
law and that seems to be the end OF
the matter to all who favor the sue
cess OF the Democratic ticket.

THE DEMO Ratio TICKET.

The two great national parties
have assembled in solemn eOnclave,
have nominated their candidates for
the highest office in the gift OF the
American people, and have enunci-
ated the principles upon which they
will stand. Judge Parker, as was
confidently predicted some daysPr
to the st. Louis convention, was
overwhelmingly the choice OF the De-
mocracy for the head of the ticket,
and Democrats everywhere are salts
fled OF the wisdom Of their choice.
Judge Parker has from time TO time
been the recipient of much criticism
for his failure 10 give the public the
benefit oil his views on national issues,
but we have not been among those
who took stock in such criticism; In
deed we rather commended his digni-
fed silence, since he was not at that
-
time the nominee OF any party, but
was the chief justice of the Empire
State, and we hold that discreet 81
lenee on political issues better com
ported with helofty station he held.
at least until he was declared the
nominee Of his party, and it had
enunciated a platform upon which he
was to stand. When that was done,
he did what few men would have
dared to do, and what no man has
ever done before. He supplied in a
brief telegram TO the convention
what was a fatal omission in the
platform, sndirrevocably committed
the party to the gold standard.
This fact alone stamps him as p
man OF character, and confounds
those who sought 80 make capital OF
his previous silence. 1t fixes his status
as a man who has opinions OF his
own On political issues and who is
not afraid to give public expression
to them, even at the risk of his OWL
undoing; and it fixes his status as Il
man who has the right view OF issues
affecting the conservative business
interests OF the country. Republicans
and Democrats everywhere have
taken off their hats to this evidence
of moral courage.
The nomination of Henry G. Davis
for Vice President is regarded as a
strong one. He comes from one OF
the doubtful States, and is man
who, on account OF his own efforts,
has raised his station from brakeman
on "a freight train to United STATES
Senator, and this type OF man ap-
peals TO she American spirit. He is q
typical exponent of the American
self-msde man, and his useful life
richly deserves the browning glor,
which would come to him in theeyent
OF the success OF the ticket.
