West Virginia Democratic newspa-
pers are cOntending that Republican
leaders there are interested secretly
in the claims against that State be-
cause of the old Virginia debt, bought
up the certificates at low prices and
have taken care that the defense
should be weak. The fact is the claims
are just, no matter who holds them.
When Virginia sent over remon-
stranceS and suggestions of payment,
she was ignored. Democrats and Re-
took the position that West Virginia
would not pay her part of the old
debt. Both ignored all appeals and
moral obligations. Now that the debt
is likely to become a legal obligation
each party attempts to accuse the
other.
The truth is the attitude of the pol
iticians of both parties in West Vir-
ginia toward this righteous claim on
their State has been disgraceful. 1t
has done much to debauch and de-
grade the whole tone OF politics and
general feeling and individual stand
ard among them. The sooner they
agree to come to a fair compromise.
the better it will be for their credit
and moral tone. Reputation and
evasion OF public debts bring their
own punishment. We in Virginia have
no interest in the matter; but we dis
like to see a State bearing the name
of Virginia put in a position of dis
grace and humiliation. Let the two
parties over there get together to hold
up their States honor; for. after all,
honor is a valuable commercial asset
to say nothing Of other considera-
tions.-Roanoke Times.

safe in pledging the Democrats of the

of the senatorial canvass, we regard
with horror the fact that the four

the amount.
To us it smacks OF the stand-and-
deliver policy. and as the canvass
progresses il becomes more and more
evident that the door of opportunity
