Va, August 10.-Dear Unknown Friend
Your suggestions to the Times Register
to let up on patent gold supplements
were timely, and appreciated by all
your silver friends. But you must not
be too hard on them for they are our
possmRsters and wear the harness,
and are driven by the great Grover
who has said all his boys must obey his
will. Yet you have gotten their prom
ise to give US some free silver, Ii to /,
60 It alone literature.
Nov. I beg you to demand the letter
of Judge Robert W. Hughes to the
Richmond dispatch OF May 2S. '95. II
you will send to the National Watch
man OF Washington, d O., and the Vir-
ginia Sun, of Richmond. Va. you will get
some good reading you can get Harvey's
Works Of Thompson e. Meadows, Of
Roanoke; also good work OF W. Ella
Jones, Of Richmond. BY the by, think
the game now is to elect gold bug to
the State senate from this district. who
will vote against Hon. J. w. Daniel
We must watch that; in fact, It is all
important that all our representatives
bs outspoken free silver men and
pledged to an honest election law, for
without this the machine have us. Has
your county mo good, honest farmer to
offer for the State senate?
"Yours to the finish,
