CAMERON
A Virginia Republican Quits
the Party of Force Bills-Rea-
SONS for His Withdrawal.

PETERSBURG, VA, Sept. II
Ex-Gov. Cameron is out in a letter
to w. S. Dashiell of Richmond,
Va, in which he renounces his
allegiance to the Republican party.
He details at length his reasons for
his present action. Among them
he says that the party has become
sectional and is now trying to keep
in power by reviving the passions
of the war. He denounces the
party for its failure to pass the
Blair educational bill; condemns
the Lodge bill, which he says is
regarded by n section as a blum
der and by the other as a crime;
says the President has done moth
ing south of Mason and Dixon's
line since his Inauguration except
to recognize with reluctance that
any such a country existed, and
says his appointments in the
| South have been of men without
capacity tor influence. He con-
| cludes
But there remains, in my judg-
ment, one thing for us to do--tor
men who recognize a higher duty
than that which can be expressed
by a party name-and that is to
free ourselves from all part and lot
with a party that has no faith too
sacred for violation, and recognizes
no pledge as too solemn to be
broken. l cannot lend myself to
the oppression of my people, and
If there is no political organization
which meets the full measure OF
our approval, We can at least leave
that which violates our every idea
of right and sentiment. Not pre-
Stunning to set up for any other man
or set of men a standard of duty,
and willing to concede to everyone
else that freedom of thought and
action l have always claimed for
myself, my resolve, found on a
desire to be true to myself and my
country, is to refuse all sympathy
or cooperation with the Republican
party in the crusade against this
section which it now espouses, and
under the leadership to which II

tonight with his owe cousin, aged

SENATOR CARLISLE, speaking OF
the hard times and the press in
money matters now being exper-
fenced, Gays: Zone cause is the
threat contained in the tariff bill to
compel importers to withdraw their
goods from the warehouses or pay
the increased rates of duty, but of
course there are other causes
There has been a great deal OF
speculation in all kinds of property,
and too many railroads have been
constructed on credit. The policy
of the present administration in
Withdrawing the government de-
posts from the national banks has
compelled the banks to curtail
their discounts, call in their loans
and to a considerable extent en-
barrass their customers, who were
in the habit of relying upon them
for accommodations. The present
Secretary of the Treasury, instead
of leaving the money in the banks
so the people can get it for use in
their business, withdraws it and
uses it, or a great part of it, in
paying interest to bondholders
before it is due. He has prepaid
interest already to the amount OF
s2,S97, 724 and he now proposes to
prepay to the holders of the rail
road bonds nearly $1,000, 900 more.
Why these bondholders should be
selected as the special favotites OF
the government I cannot see, mol
can l see how these proponents
Of interest can help the masses Of
the people"
Changed Over.
Local option has been in force in
this county for over two years. No
man has paid a fine under it, nor
has a case ever been submitted to
a trial jury. Only one man in Au-
drain county, so far as we know,
has paid a fine for selling liquor
illegally in the last two years, and
he was arralgned by our city
authorities and fined under the city
ordinance. We want no one TO
infer from this that there has been
no liquor sold for 1t is a notorious
fact that no one suffered for a sup
ply of the ''ardent." AS a pro-
hibitory law the record proves the
local option law to be an ignomini-
Gus failure. Whether 1t be the
fault of the officers or the juries we
are not prepared to say, but one
thing is certain, and that is, he
who wants whisky gets it now just
like he did when the city made
$1,000 a year out of saloons
