A DEMOCRATIC POSTER.


Inc SouutTy IApeTimeuts
For four years the country has been
experimenting with dear goods. under
the Neutrality-suspicious. theory that
cheap and nasty" go together and
that cheap coats make cheap men. We
got tired of that theory and decided to
experiment with the other theory
that cheapness is blessing and that
the more goods we can obtain in ex-
change for "A days labor the better we
are off. The democratic congressional
committee has issued a poster which
shows the tariff reductions on many
articles and commodities of an ordi-
nary household. Each article is illus
tratcd and the reductions are made
conspicuous by placing them on the il
Illustrations. The short story told on
this poster is very interesting one To

The Democrats OF the Fourth Dis
trict. In convention assembled at Peters
burg last night. nominated W. II. Nc
Kenney. Esq, Of that city, as their can
dldate for the United States House OF
Representatives TO succeed the Hon.
James +. Epes. Of Nottoway. who de-
clined to offer for reelection.
Mr. Mckinney Is well equipped for the
place He will make an energetic and
hardworking candidate. and a valuable
representative. lie Is active and ag-
grcssve and his experience in politics
has covered many years and many hard
fought campaigns. lie will be real
leader Of hts party in the canvass. and
his people have only TO give him that
support which is Characteristic OF the
fearless Fourth District to ensure his
victory at the polls in November
No man in Virginia knows better than
Mr. McKonney the odds against which
he has to contend; but the fact that he
has agreed to accept the nomination war
rants the belief on the part Of the Demo-
cratic public that he has made careiuI
survey OF the field and believes that he
can win. And such is the peoples conf
dence In his sagacity and capacity that
his name will be worth hundreds Of votes
10 US and will give confidence that the
battle TO be fought Will bring victory

sides Mr. McKenney's mentioned In con-
nectiOn with this nomination. but for

conclusion. He is not only an able and
fearless stumper. but IS a good organizer
and man Of great industry and endu-
rance. The district and state committees
have rarely had a more useful member
than he has been lie can not only com
mand the personal help Of many devoted
friends throughout the State, but he
can help himself.
The Republicans Of the Fourth District
have nominated as their candidate Mr..
