down the threats of the opposition head
ed by Senator Daniel? This would indi-
cate that Socialism and Populism have
about taken control of the Virginia De-
mocracy?
Speaking of the expressions it quotes
from its contemporaries, the Times
Dispatch says:
These different expressions are lin
mmating to those who believe that Vir-
gina Democrats, at heart, are Popu-
lists They are not. The true milk of
the word is still preached in some cities
and believed by many voters. and when
tnese voters demand to be heard. some
explaining will be in ORDER
What sense is there in preaching and
believing the word and not doing it?
Inc men who conscientiously accept and
uphold false doctrines believing them To
De true, are much more to be admired
than those who pretend to scorn the
taise' and, yet, either from passion or
coward'ce' support the principles and
the candidate they despise. Will a part
OF the Virginia Democracy continue to
believe and preach 1.-THE true milk of the
word and still yield to and support the
false? If they accept a Populist candi-
date running on Socialist and Popu-
list platform, they will be no better
than the men and the principles they
affect to despise.

IN these committees can be depended
upon to delay the evil day as long as
possible, and it can be reasonably as

Anti-BryaH Protest,

The following letter from Mr.. John
ID. Lane to the Richmond News Leade,
IS self explanatory, and worthy of care
full consideration:
Editor The News Leader
In most of the political caricatures
called cartoons, the Democratic party
has been represented by beast which
has always been considered the most
stupid of all animals. Never has it been
a more fit emblem of the party than it
is now.
1t IS simply astounding that men who
claim to have brains enough to be the
leaders OF the party should persist in
nominating man who has been twice
defeated, and now has far less chance
of election than he ever had before
And it is stranger still that he himself
should wish to force himself upon US.
with certain defeat staring him in the
race. What can be his object?
1t is certain that the notorietv GAINED
by his two former campaigns has been
money in his pocket. But, "where are
we at?' He may gain still more noto-
rlety by third campaign and third
defeat, but where do Our assets come
in.

The Richmond Times Dispatch anc

said:
Because Virginia, like the rest of
the Solid South, is counted as certainly
Democratic, no matter what nominee or
what platform may be forced on the
party, it does not follow that the Old
Dominion is either Socialist or Popu-

The Times-Dispatch then quotes at
length from the Norfolk Virginian-
Pilot, the Fredericksburg Free Lance.
and the Fredericksburg Evening Jour-
nal, in support of its contention that
the Virginia Democracy is neither So
cialist or Populist.
Do the actions and conduct of men
in connection with politics and public
affairs or do their professions give ex-
preston to their political faith and fix
their party alignment?
Nearly all the leading Democratic
newspapers in Virginia regard Mr..
Bryan as a Socialist and Populist. And
they nearly all claim that he does not
stand for any of the fundamental doc
trines of the Jeffersonian Democracy.

A lamentable Error.
Esnont, Va
June2z
Baltimore SUM-

In moment of Incredible folly. n
snort while ago, we gave space in these
columns to an article upon the mint
Julip, in which there was a grandilo-
quent passage describing the charm ex-
erted by 1.-THE green hearts blood of
the fragrant mint, as it goes coursinc
upward through the golden straw. !"
The Petersburg Index-Appeal takes us
to taks for the blunder. 1t saws:
Why will some persons write on
things they know nothing about? No
connoisseur was ever guilty of desecrat-
ing mint julip by sucking it through a
straw. The proper thing to do is to
take 1t straight from the glass. while
the tender leaves envelop and caress
the nose, tickling the olfactories to a
realizing sense of the divine nectar
which Is coursing, not through straw.
but over the palate and down natures
avenue, to warm the cookies of the
heart
We might seek to excuse our stupid
error by alleging, with truth, that the
article was written by our religious
editor during the temporary absence of
our regular mint julip expert; we might
lay the blame qpon the proof-reader,
and call him names; or, finally. we
might maintain that we were right. de-
nounce our Virginia critic, and retire
from the controversy in the cloud of
words-but we shall do nothing of the
KIND. The religious editor was wrong.
and we admit it. We shall allow him to
write no more articles on mint tulips.
de is all right on theological questions,
but when it comes to horseraciue or the
compromising of julips, he lacks the
knowledge, discrimination and delicate
intuition of the true sportsmen like the
editor of the Index-Appeal.

Colonel Slemp. For his earnest longing
for honesty and cleanliness in politics.
Rhea has been elevated to one of the
most honorable and responsible positions
IN the State, created by the new consti-
tuition. the Governor who appointed him
declaring that such party service is a
badge of honor"
The Democratic primaries in Rich
mond, Norfolk and in the Eighth Con-
gressional District have been so tainted
as to cause general disgust among hon
est men, Democrats who now refuse IN
participate in the primaries. In the last
aud the first general primary in the
State those candidates who did not be-
long to the machine demanded that they
should have friends as watchers at the
polling places to prevent the persons
who conducted the primary from steal
ing the election for the machine candi-
dates. In other words, the Democrats
have not sufficiently proved their earn
est longing for honesty and cleanliness
In politics to make them trust each
other.
Then the Virginia Democrats have
shown how earnestly they favor honesty
and clean politics by the act of the Leg
islature which redistricted the Fifth
Congressional District. No holder
theft was ever committed at the ballot
box or in making up the returns than
was this committed by Virginia Leg
stature. Oh. how earnestly have they
SHOWN their longing for honesty and
cleanliness in politicsl The trouble is
their longing for honesty comes only in
spots Those spots are very bright for
time, but, like the sun spots. are of a
vanishing order and soon disappear
Some of the Democratic newspapers
shout for honesty, but after earnestly
condemning fraud condone it: and praise
and keep in power the men who do the
dirty work. This recurs so frequently
that we are fully sustained IN the repeat-
ed assertion that the Virginia Democracy
must be thoroughly regenerated before
it can be made honest. 1t must take
Its leaders from new generation. from
those who have not been inocculated
with the disease that has become
chronic with those who originated and
executed the fraudulent methods which
our Richmond contemporary so frankly
admits have existed, and cease to honor
and elevate to high office those men
who have knowingly been the benefi-
Charles of fraud.
The charge made by the News Leader
that The Republicans today have the
monopoly of crooked work" is too
absurd to merit serious notice. 1t
forcibly reminds one of the conduct of
the wolf that gave as excuse for eating
the lamb, that the lamb had mudddied
the stream from which the wolf was
drinking, when the lamb was in the
stream below the wolf and not above it.
Your constitution was so arranged
and your suffrage laws so framed as to
make it impossible for Republicans to
commit frauds, if they desired to do so.
The information on which the News
Leader continues to make its structures
against the Republicans of the Ninth
District was derived from a correspor-
dent who boasts that he hates the name
Republican, and he got his information
from self-confessed Democratic corrup-
tionists. These charges are not true.
and we defy the News Leader to prove
them
