wonderful Success Of NJ. scheoa-
neld a the Celsnial Capital.
WILLIAMSBURG, VA, March 7.-tepe-
esal.,-rhs series Of revival msetinss held
| By Mr.. echoolfeld here for the past ten
days has closed. and there has been
phenomenal spiritual awakening In this
city. This man cf Gid preached the
Word. the incorporating truth. with
marvellous power that carried conviction
to nearly Oh who heard him. sinners q
first were obstinate and stubborn. pu.
this consecrated preacher. on ms penoea
az the Holy Spirit to convince and to
convert. Then. In a manner never before
witnessed here, he would deliver ter.
rife satire against balls. theatres. drunk
enness, gambling. lying. and hcenuous-
ness. and all other forms OF Sin. Inc
peopIe were amazed at his wonderful
power. and stood awestruck az their SINS
were faithfully portrayed to them IN All
their hlde4fnness and horror: Two ser
vices were Md each day. and sometimes
three. and after each an earnest appeal
WAS made to those outside the Church to
come forward and confess. This appeal
was never disregarded. for 1t eacn SER
vice some, and often crowds, would go
forward and take the evangelists hand
in token Of determination to lead q new
life.
A deep religious feeling now pervades
the whole community. and great good has
been accomplished here. Backs!iders nave
been reclaimed. and friends who nave
for years been estranged have laid aside
their animosity and cLasped hands again
| In friendship and In love.
Never was there man here before
who denounced sin SO fearlessy. and
yet not only enchained the attention OF
his hearers but enshrined himself In love
and affection in their hearts. Never was
there anything like 1t here before. and
men have been brought into the fold who
we're thought to be beyond the reach OF
persuasion. At the conclusion Of his last
service the great throng passed In front
of the pulpit and shook his hand In graft
| tude for the good he has done. and when
he left the station was crowded with
grown people and children to bid him
good-by and God-speed him In his noble
and unselfish work. The secret OF his
power is his strong common-sense, his
keen insight into the motives OF men,
his deep piety, and the earnestness and
sincerity with which he appeals to all to
| forsake their evil ways and help the Mas
| ter's cause.

corners bite the dust In fact, Mr.. Bryan
and his supporters will have performed
almost q miracle II they succeed In over
riding the present organization OF the re-
xular Democratic party. In order to THIS
end. they would have TO get rid In some

Maryland. The moneyed men OF those
States had no little influence In 1882 IN
the movement which resulted In the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland. He was known
to be sound on the money question:
and being sound. was acceptable to the
CAPITALISTS of those States. Mr.. Bryan
will have to meet and overthrow this
moneyed strength before he will find him
self circumstanced as Mr.. Cleveland was

comes are men of large influence" These
men Mr.. Bryan will not have marching
with his free coinage army.
Mr.. Bryan says that the Democratic
party cannot be brought UP to the support
Of the single gold standard. Then why
not let the organization Of the national
Democratic party remain as 1t is? Surely
this would be better plan than Mr..
Bryan's. II he knows that he has the
Democratic voters at his back. he need
not fear to undertake to be the David

TO the Editor of the Dispatch:
Being a resident Of the Fourth District
have read with O. great deal OF IN
ferest YOUR controversy with the Times
in regard to the attacks made by tnal
paper upon the last election and the
Walton law. AS you have argued the
case and given II to the people, you
need not fear the verdict tha'
will be rendered by every true Demo-
crat who has stood by the party since
the day Of reconstruction.
The Times did US more harm IN tne
last election than all the Repuoiican
and Populist papers put together. its
editorials were used on every occasaon
and caused many to leave our party
and vote with our opponents.
II the Republicans and Populists nave

fault-they raised such a howl agains,

gave them the Walton law. and before

supporters In their night schools to rely
upon themselves. and not to trust tht

game, they continue to cry fraud.
