and that campaign of education"
would disclose to tho masses the
folly of free silver and seal the fate
of Bryan and his followers. And so
the Republican press rang with the
cry OF campaign of education"
Accordingly, the educational cam

ago. The election is now less than
"a month off, and if education"
means conversion to the gold stan.

The cause of pimetallism, and the
friends of Bryan, having notbinS to
fear but all to gain, from diligent
study and thorough understanding of
the currency question. st no mo.
ment since the Chicago nominations
were made have the prospects of
success been so bright as they are to
day. The overwhelming ovation
Bryan is receiving wherever he goes
is without any precedent in the his
tory OF our politics. The desire is
universal and intense to see and
bear the marvellous man who is so
proudly and triumphantly holding
aloft the Democratic banner. His
audience day by day vary from FIVE to

Committee of the 51st Congress

seem TO he good many people

that lie wrote it line for line, and
that the theory that it embodies
originated in his colossal intel

"The American people have
shown that they dOhft want a rad.

Mr.. Mckinley represents the most
radical and extreme view Of pro-

would sign any silver legislation
that could be got through the next

advocate of sound and thorough
reform of the CURRENCY, WITH

And this vacillating creature is
the man whom the gold bugs of
Virginia are trying to deliver the
electoral vote of the Old Domin-
ion. They may be honest in their
claim of patriotism, but after a
careful examination of the records
of Bryan and Mckinley 1t would
seem that the boilers were led to
the broad road of patriotism and
duty over a glitteriDg pathway of
gold.

Gentlemen have consid-
cred the matters submitted to
me and make reply as follows:

district of the county, and
each ward in the city, unless
the county or ward be devided
into more election districts than
one, and when thus sub-divided,
each subdivision of the Jlagis-
terial district and each sub-di-
vision of the city becomes and
is made an election district.
The voter must be registered
in the election district in which
he resides, and residence" is
''the crucial test" of the right
to be registered. Once placed
upon the register in the district
of his residence, the voter must
remain thus registered until he
changes his residence, and with
out change of residence there
can be no transfer of the voter,
(Section so, Code of Virginia,

To your 'Sfrst question" l az

Voters can only register in the
election district in which they
reside.
To your "seco&f'- that once

THE WHITE HOUSE INJURED.
Great Damage But no Loss of Life in
And Around Washington.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Reports re-
ceiyed this morning from the subur-
ban towns about Washington show
that great damage was done through
out the surrounding country. At the
Catholic University, just outside the
city, the domitory in process of con-
struction was demolished.
At Brookland, few miles out, the
town hall was partially destroyed and
many other buildings unroofed and
otherwise damaged. On the outskirts
of the city few localities escaped. The
train shed at Alexandria was blown
down and the debris is across the
tracks. Hence the trains that left
Washington late last afternoon left
over the Southern Railway and the
Chesapeake and Ohio. Three trains,
due in Washington this morning from
Southern points on the Southern,
Chesapeake &5 Ohio and Atlantic Coast
Line, have not been heard from and
are stopped at some point south of
Alexandria,
In this city the Papal Legation was
unroofed and the Chinese Legation
was damaged about $1,000. Communi-
cation by telegraph and telephone
within the city is practically stopped.
Reports from Rockville, Md, and
other small places along the Metro
politan branch of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad show the storm did great
damage, but no loss of life was re-
ported. The Episcopal church in
Rockville was demolished and a tree
fell upon the Episcopal rectory, wreck
ing portion of it. Houses were I'M
rooted and trees blown down in all
yNf
ington. Great damage is reported in
the farming districts where all grains
in stack or shocks have been strewn
over the land. Many barns have been
blown down.
The White House was slightly in
jured by the storm, portion of the
copper roofing being stripped off and
other damage done. The tall flag stall
from which the signal was given to the
city that the President was in town
disappeared completely. In the beau
tiful grounds surrounding the house
twenty-five of the splendid trees, elms,
sycamores, walnuts, magnolias, some
of historical association, were COM
pletely leyeled, while full fifty OF the
surviving trees suffered the loss OF
their tops and principal branches and
| are permanently defaced.
ne VaSb pie, occupied Dy bne 0LaJe,
War and Navy departments, was
touched on the southern side by the
storm and lost portions of it's roofing
| and many of the states, while a struc-
ture erected by the Signal Service for
the study of clouds, was partially de-
molished. The new Naval observatory
building suffered in the same fashion
to the extent of about 81 200. At the
| Washington navy yard the big ship
house was partially unroofed and the
gun shops were damaged slightly by
the stripping of the roof.

FIFTY LIVES LOST IN FLORIDA
Over Twenty Townsan Villages Swept
by the Storm.

Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 3O.-lt is
a conservative estimate to say that
fifty people have lost their lives from
yesterdays hurricane and the number
NAV run much higher.
News from that portion of the State
where bhe storm first struck is very
slow i'm coming, for wires are down
and railroads are impossible. Wreck
ing parties which went out this morn
ing have not returned, and it will be
tomorrow before the full extent of the
damage is known.
The hurricane struck ait Cedar Keys,
and reports show that it passed in its
path of destruction over twenty towns
and villages, and that between thirty
and forty people were killed.
In Alachuma county the storm did
fearful work. In Gainesville, the Meth
odist church and about twenty resi-
dences and business houses were des-
troyed and while a number of people
were hurt no fatalities are reported.
At Lacrosse, fifteen building were
DESTROYED. Rev. w. A. Barr, Mrs. #. F.

but fortunately there was no loss of
life. All of the higher buildings of
the city are more or less damaged
and churches were injured in various
ways.
The most serious work of the storm
was at the Second Baptist church,
where the immense steeple was top
pied across the street on the build
ing occupied by the Y. M. G. A. Dur
ing the fury of the gale a section of
the steeple of the Broad Street Metho-
dist church also toppled into the
street. The steeple of the Third Pres
byterian church was relieved of part
of it's support and left In a danger
Gus condition.
Many of the large factories had
their roofs carried away. The Pace
Tobacco Company, Richmond Cheni-
cal Works, Richmond Ice Company and
several other concerns were among
those to lose the roofs of their build
ings and sustain other damages.
Many minor casualties were re-
ported along the street as a result of
falling trees and flying debris. Ship
ping suffered severely, steamers being
wrenched from their moorings and
whipped against the docks.
Reports from the suburban town OF
Manchester show that much damage
to property resulted from he storm.
