oscillate between two parties and
attempt to dictate the policy of
both, are just now taking n gloomy
view of Democratic prospects.
Democratic prospects, instead
of being gloomy, are bright, and
growing brighter. The Demo
cratic position has been vindiated
by events, and seconded by the
admission of Republicans. Every
proposition for which the Demo
cratic party stood in 1896 has been
proved sound.
The party's position on the
trust question has been demon
strated to be sound, and every day
increases the number of those who
believe as the Democratic platform
in 1900 stated, that private mo-
nopoly is indefensible and intoler-
able.
The Democratic party is more
united than it has been for many
years, and this unity is due to two
causes: In the first place, the
money question which defeated the
Democrats in 1896, is out of the
way.
There is no division in the
Democratic party among the rank
and file. While the Democratic
party is united, the Republican
party is more divided than it has
been In recent years and this divi-
sion cannot be healed. The stand
patter and the Republican reformer
are at outs. and their controversy
grows more bitter.
The Republican reformer is
shouting that something must be
done, and the standpater, his hands
to the elbows in the pocket of the
public says: Let well enough
alone
mo matter what the Republican
party does, it cannot please both
sides.
All the Democratic party has
to do is to be loyal to the interests
of the people and make a stong
hight on a strong platform, and
victory is within its reach.

in clean, honest sport. AtUpper-
vile some sixty years ago was held
the first horse show in the United
States, under the patronage of
that splendid type of old Virginia
gentleman, Colonel Richard
Hunter Dulaney, of Melbourne. f"
Loudoun county. From this begin
ming various horse shows sprung
up throughout the State, and grad
ually spread to other sections of
the country. For a time the sport
prospered, and the shows wherever
held, were very successful; but
gradually a rough element enter
ed the show ring, and the public
withdrew its patronage from ex-
hibitions which bordered on crook
edness and rowdyism. Allmanner
iof strangle tales were told of
doping horses" of improper
entries, of fixed Judges" of
classes arranged FOR the benefit of
certain favored individuals, and of
horse show officials who put aside
the interest of clean sport for the
benefit of pecuniary gain. 1t is
pleasant to note that these evil
conditions have been in a large
measure remedied, and that the
horse, shows of to-day are again in
popular favor and managed by
sportsmen who have in view i'm
provement in breeding and the fur
therance of decent sport. The
shows that have been held so far
this year in this State have been
most successful, free from criticism
and devoid of the presence of those
who did SO much to disgust the
public. The outlook for the great
Richmond show in the fall is bright
and a growing interest in breed
ing horses, which has played a very
important part in the prosperity
OF the State, is manifest every
where within the borders of the
