Your Sin and
Early Convention movement.

Mr.. Bryan's friends in Virginia, in
our opinion, are not properly amenable
to criticism for protecting his inter-
ests in the manner referred to by The
Times-Dispatch, should they deem
such interests threatened. II they
construc the early convention propo-
sition as antagonistic to their leader.
they are entirely within their rights
to keep a keen eye upon the situation
and do what they can in Mr.. Bryan's
behalf. And If they control the next
State convention, then the RESPONSE
bility and the power will be with them
to voice Virginia's sentiments as to
her choice for the presidency. Such
sort of control will result from the
fact that it represents the majority
Democratic opinion of the State-and.
according to all laws of political fair
ness and Justice, the majority should
prevail. Those who oppose the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Bryan may take the
notion into their heads that If an
early convention be called, the fact
would help the Bryan cause, in that
Virginia, Southern State. might be
the first to start Bryan boom--and
hence they might be induced to oppose
the Virginia leadership plan. This
they would have perfect right to do
Furthermore. If the delegates to the
next State convention are to be chosen
solely with a view of favoring Mr.
Bryan or of opposing him.. then both
sides should prepare for battle, fight
it out on high grounds, in good spirit
with the resolve to faithfully and 10y
ally abide by the result-Lynchbure

Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir,---1n company with a very INTEL
lectual lady and gentleman from
Massachusetts,, recently visited d
nearby National Cemetery.
OF course, the keeper was sought out
to give us points of interest. which he
proceeded to do, but before getting
very far launched out into a TRADE
of invective against the President of
the Confederacy, In which he made the
statement that four-hfths of the
Southerners at the late reunion agreed
with him.

the dead chieftain, but having been

story finished. and which, think, they
must have fully believed.
On rejoining them j heard the re-
mark that they were so glad of their
visit to the South; that they had learn
ed so much Of the war they did not
know before.
Now, Mr.. Editor, appeal to you to
know the truth. Was Mr.. Davis the
instigator of the war? And If four
fifths of the Confederate veterans have

keeper has, why in the name of truth
did they manifest such hypocrisy in
their great enthusiasm during the late
reunion and unwilling exercises of the
monument at Cedar and Franklin
Streets?
Does this great and beautiful monu-
ment simply9renresen the principle for
which the South fought as personihed
In Mr.. Davis because he happened to be
the President Of struggling, but never
acquired independence?
Or was 1t erected by loving and
loyal hearts, also to the memory of
one who, though having made some
mistaken Gas all finite minds have
done), laid his all on the altar of his
country?
| know you do not wish to to enter
into any controversy which will tend to
provoke sectionalism. but am only
seeking the truth, and your silence will
leave me perplexed. ,VIEGINIAN.
