Senator Daniel left Lynchburg Thurs
day for New York, whence he sailed LOT

Before his departure from the former
CITY a reporter of the Lynchburg News
had a talk with him about the Chicago
convention and the prospects of Demo-
cracy.

Il know him well, and think highly
of him. He is vigorous OF body ana

"Do Won think Bryan will bt elected"
To-day he would be. In November
I believe we will be stronger than now.
The people in the great cities do not
generally appreciate the conditions Oh
Ibe country and in the West, but are
beginning to. The farmers and the
workers see no prospect for the future
save in what Bryan represents. Tnnk

80 or 80 per cent, and the Dhght IS
coming home. There will be general
bankruptcy il Mckinley comes along
with higher taxes AID less money, and
the masses know that their only chance
is in Bryan's election. Hence, look out
for a great vote in November.
DO you know SeWall, the vice pres
idential candidate?"
"Oh. yes. and have known him for
years. He is fine man and has been
a member of the National Committee
and an active working Democrat. He
is a successful business man and rep
resents the sturdiest and most useful
virtues of New England. He is a man
whose presence inspires confidence and
god will. and he will make an excel
lent officer if elected
"Will you take para In the canvass
Certainly; just as soon as my forty
day trip TO Europe is over. | have
urged Mr.. Bryan to speak in Richmond,

county and city in the State will send

"What do you think of Virginia."
That it will give the Democratic
ticket a big majority. We will lose a
few votes here and there, but gain as
much or more than we lose. If we had
adopted gold monometallism at Chica-
go we would have killed the Demo-
cracy outright; but as it is, it is re-
freshed and reinvigorated. 1t has a
great candidate and a great principle TO
follow, and its future is now assured
