scrvedly and at oncc.-Dispatoh OF yes
terday.
The disintcrestcd loving kindness OF
our esteemed ncighbor, the Richmond
Dispatcn. was never shown TO better
advantage than in It's present solicitude-
"its sincere dcsire"-to save The Times
from error.
Tho uniformly cordial and generous
course which the Dispatch has pursued
towards The Times since its establish
rncnt IS one Of those bright examples OF
altrulsm. which in dark and selfish
world keep alive faith in the genuine
brotherhood Of man.
No one who has followed the utter
oncos OF that venerable journal can DOUBT
that its highest aim IS TO do good without
Stint and TO sustain its convictions OF
truth. regardless OF consequonces-thati II
is honest. learned, wise. brave ana never
goes back on a friend.
TO have secured the interest of such
a friend is nlore-much more-than we
had ever hoped for but since II 10 ou'
good fortune to have it, and Win F"
the counsel and advice which is one OF
the evidences Of real friendship, I'VE ac-
cent It always and in all places most
noble Dispatch. with all thankfulness.
Notwithstanding that we be not iur-
Their tedious unto thee. we pray thee
that thou wouldst hear us, of thy Glenn
cncy. a few words:
You wish TO know whether The Times
will support Captain John Lamb or Judge
/. l.. Lewis for Congress.
We do not think that either Of these
gentlemen claim the support OF The
Times. nor can any Of their friends, nor
even our friend the Dispatch, claim 1t
for them. Neither OF them are upon Il
Democratic platform. and unless there
;s candidate nominated to represent
this district in Congress. who is Dem
ocrat. we will be deprived Of the privi-
loee Of voting for any one.
VIII our worthy and noble mentor Oh

The following are extracts from

ruary is. 1896:

candidate. / answered that while l did
not believe that the Democratic party
would take such action, / would refuse
TO support the nominee in the event that
IT did select a gold.standaId candidate on
a coll-siandard platform. IL was this
statement TO which Ar. Carlisle referred

We find the following in the Washing
ton Post of yesterday.
"lt looks ass though Bryan was getting
stronger in our part OF Virginia every
day. said Mr.. j. j.. Mcpherson. of Lees
burg. at the Metropolitan. Il came down
with about $50 citizens of LOud0un coun-
ty. and there were not over ten Mckinley
men in the entire lot. II the thing keeps
ON this way the Democrats will carry the
ola Dominion 10y the most enormous MAJ
jority ever recorded in the State"
We do not believe Bryan is getting
stronger every day in Loudoun county
any more than in any other locality I'm
Virginia. Mr.. Bryan has passed the
point of his greatest strength I'm Virginia
and he has been steadily declining i'm
strength in this State for some time.
The reports which are received az the
headquarters of Tire National Democracy
leave no sort of doubt about that FREQ
silver viii not bear discussion and il
is being torn TO rags and tattors in every
locality ion this State and the process will
go ON from day TO day until the day of
election. Not only is that true. bat the
that the whole business is nothing al
the bottom but the old Popuiist scheme
of issuing a vast quantity OF irredeem-
able paper money that is to fall in value
10 a point that no man can foreten.
Nor are the people of Virginia giving
their attention exclusively 10 the foolish
plot for debasing our money. Every
conservative citizen of Virginia is turns
ing over in his mind the planks put into
the Chicago platform at the dictation Of
Altgcld and he is asking himself if he
can afford to correct himself with a
scheme. which SO obviously means
license to mobs TO plumber and burn at
their viii. This plank in the Chicago
platform is pressing itself upon the at
tention Of Virgnians with great force
and it is making them inquire OF them
selves where we are TO land II we once
embark upon this temptestuous sea.
Bryan is not gaining strength, there
fore in Virginia. lie is distinctly losing
strength. The vote between Cleveland
and Harrison in 1,SS. when Cleveland
claimed the State 10y only 100 votes
shows that the parties are very evenly
divided here. and the great detection
i'm the Democratic vote ought plainly to
lose Bryan the State. There is but one
thing that can give IL TO him and that is
fraud in the elections. Are We to stand
passlyely by and allow this to take
place?

THE ABANDONMENT OF THE FORCE
BILL.

BILL.
Whatever else comes out OF the presi-
Dental campaign now being fought out
we are satisfied 1t is going to carry 'he
whole country much further from the
sectional issues which were left IL as
a legacy by the war than 1t mas ever
yet been. and. to that extent, the cam
paign. with all it's bitterness. will not
have been fought out in vain.
When the war ended the Republican
party Of the North made the fatai pun
der OF working upon the white people
Of the South as their natural enemies
and it pursued them for years with
bitter and malignant hatred that uiu
IA more TO widen the breach between
North and South than the actual armed
collisions Of the war itself Had the
Republican party accepted the coniede-
rate soldiers parole OF honor with that
frankness and openness with when IL
was given: and. ad it treated them with
the confidence and trust that their heroic
bearing during the four years of the war
showed that they were entitled TO- the
breach between the two sections would
speedily have healed and We should soon
have had reunited country again.
The evil passions begotten by bloody
conflicts carried the Republican party.
however over TO the opposite course Of
conduct, and the deep-seated estranse-
ment Of the two sections has been the
result.
But II is evident that experience has
taught the Republicans Of the North that
they made a blundcr in adopting the
part that they have heretofore played,
and that they purpose hereafter to pur-
sue very different course. Mr.. Nc
Kinley's utterances upon the subject are
unmistakable, and when General Harri-
son said here on Tuesday that the force
bill is a dead issue: the Republicans will
leave all that business to the local au-
thorities.' he declared the position which
the Republican party ought to have held
all the time; ana he stated the one which
We verify believe the present presiden-
tial canvass Will place the Republican
party upon I'm The future, as the one
assigned 10 it 10y the logic OF events II
that shall bee the outcome Of the present
bitter struggle. its bitterness Will not
have been without compensation. IL will
bee "a blessed day for the South. as well
as for the whole country, when il is
known and understood of all men that
we are 10 have the same control Of our
own local affairs that other sclf-govern-
cd communities have of theirs. Then we
may expect the appeal 30 the better ma
ture Of our people to have its appro-
pirate response. Then We may expect
their own sense OF self-rcspect to prompt
them TO forcing corrupt election officers
10 cease their nefarious tricks where
they are now practiced. and then again

wcalths of the South. will stand out

1t behooves every citizen in city,
town and country to keep posted on
the stirring events that will occur IN
this country and in the old world
within the next niue months. The re-
suits will affect all, personally, directly
or indirectly. This nation is on the
eve of the most exciting presidential
campaign in its history, European
politics are in a very complicated
state, and scientists are applying their
discoveries to many lines that will pro-
duce startling new things. To keep
abreast with the world one should
read, in addition TO the local or
county paper. a live metropolitan
newspaper, such as The Twice a-Week
Republic, of ST. Louis. 1t is the most
progressive journal in the United
States, and in each issue it gives the
latest political news of all parties in
the field, the latest general news Of the
world and many valuable special feat
ures besides. This model newspaper
is delivered twice-a-week by mail for
only ST. a year, or less than one cent a

THE WOOL PLANK.

The Mckinley league, of Philadel-
phia, sends cut the republican tariff
plank hoisted at the head of THE
OPTIC's editorial columns, with q cir
cular letter, worded as follows:
The above is a copy of a plank in the
platform of the republican party. 1t
means il Mckinley is elected president,
mex November, the republican party will
insist upon a restoration Of an ample duty
on WOOL. 1t is a sacred pledge to the wool
industry that they shall nave their bust
ness as fully protected as any other indus
try in the land. This promise is made
voluntarily, willingly and cheerfully by the
republican party, a party of which it can be
pledge, or failed to keep a promise once
made. The restoration of a duty upon
wool means hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in favor Of the American wool-grow-
era. 1t means protection against the
cheap pauper-grown woods OF other
can accomplish SO great a benefit for the
wool-growers. The losses of the last three
years are beyond computation, but you
now have an opportunity to aid in restor-
ing the old prosperous times, and of anni-
hilating the party which, in 1892, deceived
you with the promise that free wool meant
higher prices; you can help to do it;
therefore, we suggest tina the wool-grow-
ers form themselves into clubs or associa-
lions, for in union there is strength work
from now till November to induce every
wool-grower and every merchant or
friend to join your association, and use
every honorable means for the election of
"McKialey and Hobart" and a duty on

to push Thomas D. Burns, OF Rio Arriba
county, for the congressional nomination.
However. the Bee does not take much
stock in the story.-Sdn Maycial Bee.
There may be more significance to
the ''story'' than You think-indeed,
it is understood, up this way, that
Delegate Catron himself declared at
St. Louis that he would support Mr.
Burns for the delegateship. Burns is
an excellent man and would be q pop

the financial affairs Of the nation, even
though he be an ardent advocate of
the rights and privileges of the white
metal.
