was not passed by the house of the last
congress until the 21st of March. Be-

what has been done on the floor OF the

To give clear idea of how far this work
is advanced, Representative Catchings
stated that if il were necessary every one

last one taken up by the committee, could
be reported to the house within week.

The FOPce.Bill an Issue,

In speaking of the platform adopted
by the Republican State Convention of
Ohio, the Lynchburg Virgimiam says
that it sounds the keynote of the Re
publican campaign, which is to be con-
Quoted ON the same old sectional lines
as heretofore, with the Force Bill idea
made as prominent as possible. The
passions and prejudices of Northern
voters are to be appealed to and excit-
ed, as of yore, by lurid pictures of
Southern intolerance, injustice and OPP
preston toward the long-suffering ne
groes detailed from every stump by ly-
ing Republican demagogues. The war
is to be fought all over again by bomb
proof heroes who lurked in the rear
when the fight was actually in progress
and whose bravery never asserted itself
until all danger was past. and the G..
A. r. element is to be aroused to it's ut
most endeavors by the promise OF more
pensions.
The Democracy know in advance
what they have to meet, and how to
meet it.
1t doesn't seem possible that the Re
publican party can elect another Presi-
dent on these time-worn and thread
bare issues. The people are sick and
tired of them, and with thorough har-
mony and unity in the Democratic par
ty, and a leader in whom the masses
have confidence, it will go forward to
an assured and triumphant victory.n

Colorado Republicans Dead Against
Harrison.

United States Senators Edward D.
Wolcott and Henry M. Teller, Con-
gresham Hosea Townsend and Mr.. J.
l.. Brush were chosen by reclamation
delegates at large to the Minneapolis
convention by the Republican State
Convention of Colorado Wednesday at
Denver. The resolutions denounce the
demonstration of silver in 1878 as a
great crime and demand the free and
unlimited coinage of silver on an equal
basis with gold. The delegates to the
Minneapolis convention were instruct
ed to oppose the nomination of any
man for President who is not known to

To COnscript Alliance Men.

In speaking of the attempt being
made to conscript alliance men into the
third party, the Lynchburg AdUance
says =
1.-THE Third Party leaders seeem to be
'in for blood" and Democratic mem
bers of the Alliance should always bear
in mind that if the Third Party gets
any blood in Virginia it will be the
blood of the Democratic party; while
any hope that the Third Party can
gain anything for itself is not worthy
of moments consideration.
If the Third party succeeds in doing
anything in this State, it will only be
to the injury of the Democratic party
and to the advantage of the Republican
party. The same old alternative pre-
sents itself to every Alliance man. 1t
is the choice between helping the
Democratic party and helping the Re-
publican party. Which will you choose?
Think up little history before you

Congressman Edmunds and Tucker al
CharlestOWn, w. Va.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Richmond Times, under date OF
April 30th, says
Representatives Edmunds and
Tucker, at the invitation of Mr.. Wilson,
of West Virginia, accompanied the lat
ter to Charlestown last night and made
speeches at the opening meeting of the
reelection to Congress.
Mr.. Tucker says they were most cor
daily received by a large assemblage
of ladies and gentlemen. Farmer"
Edmunds delivered an admirable
speech, richly spiced with pertinent
anecdotes. Virginia's farmer Con-
gresham was addressing an audience
composed largely of farmers, and he
discussed the tariff and silver questions
in manner entertaining and pleasing
to his audience. He was logical in his
treatment of these issues, but found oc-
casion for display of wit and humor.
All reports agree that Farmer" Ed
munds actually delighted his audience.
According to Mr.. Edmunds, the prin-
cipal speech was delivered by Mr.. Tuck
er, who devoted about an hour to the
discussion of the tariff. He was given
the unanimous thanks of his hearers by
a rising vote.
Several other Democratic congress
men were present, but did not partici-
pate One of them says he was some

blage heartily Endorsed Representative

From the Greenbrier CIV. Va Independent
Letter from Mr., Cleveland.

On the 10th inst, Mr.. W. r. G. John

have several times recently taken oc-

their cubs in our mountains and send

quilts from the wings of the bald eagle
recently killed by him (Mr. j. on
Greenbrier river. He requested Mr..
Cleveland to take the quilts with him
to the White House next March and to
drive them as he had driven the quill
in the past. The following is Mr..
Cleveland's reply to the letter =
LAKEWOOD, N. j., April 18, 1892.
W. R. C. tombstone, Esq:
DEAR SIR--Your letter and the eagle
quilts are at hand You certainly
have great luck in killing bears and
capturing cubs. l do not derive any
thing like the same satisfaction in
learning Ct the death of the eagle, for
like them better alive and free.
hope that you will not fail in the
determination you express for the
Democrats of your State to ''do up"
the Republicans next fall. If you will
capture them at the polls, you and
your party associates will do a better
service than if you should rid your
State of all the bears there are in it.
l thank you sincerely for the quilts
and if | ever have an opportunity to
use them in the way you suggest, will
certainly, as you request, ''think of the
me. Yours very truly,

The verdict of tile jury in the case of
Ravachol, the anarchist, and his a.
completes has occasioned great sur
prise in Paris, where it is believed the
jurors were afraid to condemn the
prisoners to death for fear anarchist
vengeance would fall ON them. When
Ravachol and a companion named
Simon were sentenced to penal servi-
tude for life for causing dynamite ex-
plosions, they cheered for anarchy in
open court. The others were acquitted.
The judge who presided in the case is
condemned by the public for his con-
ciliatory tone, which it is thought in
fiuenced the jury.
