JUST HOW 1T HAPPENED
That the Bryan and Sewall Club Of West
Norfolk A. & D. Employees,
WAS NOT ADDRESSED BY A SILVER MAN
ME-. saunders Was Asked 10 GO anu
Then Asked Not To, for Fear of
Causing Some One 10 Lose HIS Job
Mr.. Taylor Denie. that Any I'm.
due influence Has Been Used.

The fact that several Norfolk gentle
men of free silver proclivites were in
yited to address the McISinley-Hobart
Club at West Norfolk; that al least one
OF them accepted the Invitation, and did
not go. aroused considerable comment
in the homes of the free, and the real
reason did not crop out until yester-
day.
The club. as is we'll known. is composed
entirely OF employees of the Atlantic and
Danvilie Railroad, and these men. desir-
Ing to hear both sides OF the question,
appointed committee, one of which Is
an ardent silver man, to call on several
Norfolk speakers and ask them to ad-
dress them on the subject of free silver.
The invitation was given by the gentle
man referred to as the ardent silver man,
and Mr. j. T. Saunders. vice president
OF the Bryan and Sewail Free Silver
for the fact THAT the friends OF the ar
dent siverlte took him to one side and
begged hi mnot to. saying the aforesaid
free silverte would lose his job, and
perhaps some OF them. into the bar
gain.
A Virglnian man dropped In on Mr..
William II. Taylor, general passenger
agent of the Atlantic and Danville Rail-
soad, yesterday afternoon and ask: d
him IL his compny was doing any cam
paigning for the Major and his friend
Hanna. On this point the gentleman
was non-committal. but promptly said;
TherehaS been no coercion or intimida-
ton employed by our road. We would
not stoop to such methods"
1t is awell-known fact that Mckinley
and Hobart cubs have been formed at
Lawrenceville and Danville, also under
the auspices Of the road and composed
entirely of the employees of the company,
and have been addressed by Mr.. Charles
| o. Halnes. the general superintendent.
1t has been minated that all the roads
With the exception OF one possibly, have
been doing campaign work. Among
those visited and asked in regard to the
matter was the New York; Philadelphia
and Norfolk Railroad, general officer
| OF which replied: 'Our road Is in the
| TRANSFORMATION business, not in politics
We have never attempted to influence
our employees and shall never attempt
| to do So"
An official of the Southern Railway
! said that his line had not intimatcd TO
its employees how it would like to have
| them vote.
| Norfolk Is being flooded with Repub-
| lican campaign literature. Copies OF
publications addressed personally to the
street car, railway and steamboat men
containing arguments for gold applying
| to each mans case, are being received
| in great quantities. Telegraph poles
and brick walls are being decorated with
'stickers" bearing quotations from Mr..
McK!nley's financial speeches.
The Railway News Sound Money
lSnpplement' is being received In large
numbers by most of the railway men

the knowledge, that so many forms of
Sickness arc not due to any actual dis

remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed 80 highly by all

effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
allimportant, in order to get its bene-

POLITICAL POINTERS

The Democratic state executive COM
mittee meets at Nashville today, and the
session will be attended by many promn-
ent members of the party, including Sem
ator Harris and Congressman Richardson,
McDearmon, Cox and Mcmillan. The
only uestion of importance is the calling
OF one or two conventions, the bulk OF free
silver Democrats wanting only one con-
vention for all purposes.
Politicians from all parts of the state are
gathering at New York City to attend the
Republican state convention which con-
venes at the Grand Central Palace on
Tuesday. The convention will be called
to order by Chairman Odell of the Repub-
lican state committee. He will announce
as the temporary chairman Senator Coi-
nelius Parsons of Rochester. Mckinley
mass meeting has been arranged for to-
night, and it is understood there is a move
ment on foot to turn the last session of the
convention into mass meeting in honor of
Governor Morton's presidential candidacy
The delegates at large will probably be
Thomas G. Platt. Chauncey M. Depew,
Warner Miller, and Howard Lauterback.
A party is being organized at Philadel-
phIa to act as an escort to the members of
The Pennsylvania delegation to the Repub-
lican national convention at St. Louis,
which will consist of between 800 and 400
active Republicans who favor the nomina-
tjon of Senator Quay for president. The
escort will enclude men from Allegheny,
Luserne, Lackawanna, Lancaster. Mont
gemery, Bucks. Lebanon, Schuylkill and
