4 THE EVENING STAR. | Baxgus Suz C WASHINGTON: HE EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local Cireulation efany Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other payers published in Washington. — New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, —_—_—_—_— The Virginia republicans completed in con- vention yesterday the work laid out for them by General Mahone. They placed the General himself at the head of their ticket and adopted ® platform as long and as exhaustive as the moral law. It has one advantage over the democratic platform, however, in advocating @nly measures with which the party in its fed- eral and ‘state organizations is identified, and in advocating them without a reservation. The tobacco and fruit brandy feature is thrown well to the front, indicating that the taxation issue is the one selected by the chief magnate to fight over this fall It is ao part of a well-developed program to force the democrats into a false position on the tariff. The democratic and republican demands for the abolition of the tobacco and brandy taxes are equally loud; but the republicans will claim that the democrats are insincere in their professions because the tariff and internal Tevenue systems are antagonistic, and the democrats in the nation at large have com- mitted themselves irrevocably to the reduction of the tariff and the maintenance of internal taxation. That such is the plan now laid out is further indicated by the stress laid on the advantage to farmers of affiliation with the republican party. It must be borne in mind that the growers and manufacturers in Virginia ‘are at odds on this matter of internal revenue taxation. The manufacturers, as long as the taxes continue high, have trade all in their own hands; for they are capitalists, while the growers are farming people, who, in order to avoid taxes which they cannot afford to pay, make no attempt to do business on their own account but carry all their products to the factories and distilleries. Of course the farm- ing element in an agricultural state like Virginia far outnumber the whole force under command of the manufacturing element, and their capture isa thing greatly to be desired by any party. The state debt question comes next, perhaps, in order of tactical importance in Gen. Ma- hone’s program, and is pretty closely inter- woven with the question of popular education. ‘The conjunction of ideas ih the platform sug- geste that the arrangement of a satisfactory compromise for the debt may involve turning the product of the state tax system into the debt fund in a lump, instead of diverting so large @ part of it as formerly to school pur- poses—the federal government being looked to for the support of education in the meanwhile. In this respect the republicans seem to have a clearer notion of what they are aiming at than the democrats, who were naturally hampered by the principles and precedents of their na- tional party. The important issue, outside of the platforms, is that which turns upon appeals to race preju- dices. The democrats wili urge the danger of negro predominance in case of republican su.- cess; the Mahonites will point to the nomina- tion of a ticket composed of confederate offi- cers as a guarantee of the absence of such danger. Both organizations have now indicated what they wish the dear people to consider and the lines upon which they propose to advance to battle. The campaign is fairly opened and the active, practical hustling for votes will soon begin. SaaS The responses tw a etter ot inquiry sent ou by the Manufacturers’ Record indicate that the prevailing public sentiment in the south favors the holding of the exposition of 1992 at Wash- ington.

It is not believed that a creditable world’s fair can be conducted withou} national recognition and aid, and there are no indications that the rep- resentatives of the contending trade interests of the country can unite to give sub- stantial indorsement to any other site than the national capital,—which belongs to all the states, which excites no jealousies as a commercial rival, and which in point of ample and conven- ient space for the display of exhibits, in the Possession of an admirable nucleus of govern- ment exhibits, and in attractions and advan- tages as a meeting place of the people far sur- passes any other city which has been seriously urged for the honor. — ‘The laying of the corner stone of the monu- ment to the Indiana soldiers and sailors of the late war was made notable by the presence of the President of the United States and two members of his cabinet, President Harrison used it as the occasion of a significant utter- ance concerning southern conditions and pros- pects and indirectly concerning his southern Policy. The war, he said, was not a war of subjugation; but, on the contrary, if a measure could be taken of the benefits resulting from it to all the states, those lately in rebellion would probably be found to have the larger share. “Tt destroyed an institution that was thoir de- stfuction. It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our states.” $$$ Washington, like its postmaster, yearns for a Post office which shall give to the capital some of the conveniences and comforts and aids to efficiency which are enjoyed in other large cities of the republic. The attention of the people of the nation is again called to the fact that the post office of their capital has no building of its own, and that its vast and im- portant work is performed in unsuitable rented quarters, which are a disgrace to the city, and a disgrace to the representatives of the people {m Congress who fail to remedy the evil. $e ‘The people of Washington and its neighbor- hood have enjoyed the privilege, while read- ing Tux Sran, of learning the news of the Nor- folk convention before the several incidents have come to pass.
