( A Democratic Awakening.

asS Tho Democratic campaign OF 1904 had a
brilliant and flattering opening at ny
Academy OF Music last night 1t is ilo 't
often that 50 fine an audience OF the rep
resentative men and women OF the CITY
has been assembled upon such an occa-
sion; it is not often that such refined ana ana
instructive political speeches have been
delivered and 1t Is not often that political
sneakers have had such an attentive. ana
appreciative hearing It is a good omen
mat tho women of Richmond are taking
nm interest In the campaign. Heaven Tor
J. hid that they should ever soil their skirts
( in the Sums of politics. but they should
Z understand the issues OF this important
campaign and they should make the men
whom they influence so TO the polls and
vote right.
The meeting last night was well plan
ned and great credit is due to the COM
mittee who made the arrangements ana

Chairman Ellyson, for the admira Die man nan:

who, in spite of-n,::s protest that he never
IN var times belonged to that branch OF
the service, showed his entire familiar
eity with big guns and sent bomb after
bomb with disastrous effect into the Re-
publican ranks.
The Senator never appeared to better
advantage and never In his life MADE a
better, a more Instructive. a more enter
tanning, or a more effective political adj
dress. IL was dgnitied, 1t was historical,
1t was argumentative, it was scholar
~ and 1t was noble vindication OF
Democratic principles, as It was a fear
less and aggressive assault upon lat
ter-day Republicanisnl. The keynote OF
his address was that our government
cannot be half monarchy and half repub-
lie. That is indeed the keynote. of the
campaign. The republic must be every
thing or nothing. 1t must be genuine or
it will come to naught. A sham republic
cannot live.
The people Of Richmond are indebted
to Senator Daniel for his patriotic speech
and for the Indictment to Democratic zeal
and cndeavor which his eloquence has
Inspired There is no doubt that Rich

Two Of a Kind.

o. 1890
Appeal gave Governor Montague a rap
for making speeches In Virginia during
the present campaign, claiming that such
speeches were not needed In this State,
and intimating that Mr.. Montague was
speaking not so much to promote the
interests of the Democratic party as TO
promote his own candidacy for the United
States Senate. We asked our Peters
burg contemporary why 1t had singled
out Montague for reb,lke, inasmucl as
Senator Martin was also making political
speeches in Virginia, and had announced
that he would make no speeches outside
Of the State. IN reply the 1ndex-Appeal
says:
Speaking in Virginia is not necessary
either by Mr.. Martin or Mr.. Monta que,
and as Mr.. Martin does not pose as an
orator and does not make 1t a practice
to quit his work and go through the
country making speeches, he might
moro readily be excused from speaking
in other States than might ono who
does pose as an orator and who INDUCES
that practice. Very few Virgnians
have heard Mr., Martin speak, and a
great many have enormously concluded
that because he is not always looking for
an opportunity to speak that he cannot
speak For his political 81 ccess Mr. Mar
tin relies upon his works, and not upon
his talk and we shrewdly suspect that
he consents to- fill the appointments made
for him more in Difference to the very
general wishes Of Virginians to hear him
speak than from any personal desire to
speak, or because he believes 1t Is 3neces-
sary TO the success Of his senatorial can
ddacy."
We cannot undertake to discuss the
motives either Of Governor Montague or
tntimates, that Governor Montague is
speaking for his own Interests. and that
Senator Martin is speaking for the good
of the party. But does our contemporary
think that Governor Montague should
have declined the invitation OF Chairman
Ellyson. to make any speeches whatever
In Virginia during this campaign, for
fear that In SO doing he might arouse the
suspicion of the Index-Appeal and per-
haps others that he was speaking for a
seat in tho United States Senate?
Another question: Does our contem-
iporary THINK that senator 2Martln, IN
making stump speeches In Virginia dur
ing the presidential campaign, will exert
himself to keep from promoting his sena-
torial boom? Will he not turn those
speeches to his own good account If he
can?
We do not mean by this either to boost
Montague or to disparage Martin. But
We believe In fair play, and we cannot
understand why Montague should be re-
buked for doing what Martin is doing, and
We cannot understand why our contcm-i
porary should attribute purely selfish
motives to tho one and purely patriotic
motives to the other. Montague and Mar
tin are both practical politicians. They
are candidates for the same Office. and It
is natural that each one Of them should
do everything that he can honorabiy do
to aid him In the contest. If Montague
can strengthen himself before the people
by making speeches for the Democratic
ticket, he as perfectly justifiable in so
doing. The same Is true of Martin, and Of
Braxton. and Of Willard, and Of every
other public man. Why not?
