AT small western town recently a
commercial man entered the only ho-
tel III the place, and after registering
told the clerk that he wanted room
and that he desired to take the $50
train in the morning. The clerk pc.
itely told him that all rooms were
taken, but said in the next breath
that there was a double room, por-
ton of which was occupied by wo.
man, and as you will leave at 2:30 in
the morning no one will be the wiser
After a moments hesitation the COM
mercial guest concluded to accept the
accommodations and was forthwith
conducted to the aforesaid apart
ment, but without light, when the
clerk babe him goodnight and return
ed to his post. In about thirty min
utes the clerk was startled by the
salesman rushing into the Office ex-
claiming in short breaths, "Good
heavens! that woman is dead!" The
clerk quietly informed him that he
was fully aware of the fact, but sup
posed that he would never find it out.

attempting to charge such crimes to

,y,D DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

A fair-sized primary today will strength
On our party here at the coming election
while O small turnout Of voters will
surely give comfort to our opponents.
A strenuous effort has been made by
the anti-Bryan men TO convince the
country people that the disanected Demo
Gratis are in majority in the city Of
Richmond. and If our total vote falls
short Of the average Of such primaries as
This that fact will be heralded over Nir-
einia and the whole land as proof Of the
weakness of our cause here.
We. therefore. urge every Democrat to
90 TO the polls and vote. Vote as you
rlease between the two worthy gentleme:
Offering for the nomination, but vote in
order that your ballot may help swell the
grand total.
our situation is such that it becomes an
,r,raratlve duty for all well-wishers Of
the Democratic party to put themselves
70 the trouble Of going to the polls to-
dav This is a time when your aid will
be Of special value TO our cause, and
when It may be instrumental in pre-
renting further division in our ranks.
So IN voting to-day you will not
,nlv do valuable service in helping to
reject the best candidate. but in keeping
intact our party organization.
Tie fact that at this time hundreds Of
our voters are absent from Richmond
taking their summer vacation. and that
instrumentalities are at work TO keep
pthers who are in the city from partici-
pating in to-days primary makes It more
Than ever desirable that every man who
has AZ heart the success Of the Demo
cratic nominees should come out to-day
md vote.
Yes: come out yourself. and bring your
friends and neighbors along with you.
Put yourself on record to-day as being
willing 10 support Bryan and sewall and
Dur congressional nominee. Remember
that your presence at the polls to-day IS
almost as important as it will be on No
vember Sd.
Come out and be counted on our side,
and give 'tother side no excuse for be-
neying thar you are with them.

ORGANIZATION vs.. BAR'L.

Tho Newport News Commercial. In COM
menting upon Me fact that the head Oh
the Republican bar'l has been knocked
ont in virginia. says that the Democracy
OF Virginia is not purchasaole. and that
Hanna's millions will be unable to cor
rupt sufficient voters TO carry the STATE
for Mckinley, even with the aid OF the
boilers.
True. The danger to the Virginia De-
mocracy lies not I'M the Republican cor
ruption fund. aided by either the boilers,
or Indirect coercion. or both. What the
Democrats have to fear most is apathy
and indlcision in their own ranks. re-
sulting principally from the dogmauc
and exaggerated assertions Of the gold
ties that a change in our financial sys-
TEN would eventuate In universal ruin,
and the consequent difficulty OF raising
an adequate fund FOR the conduct Of tho
Democratic campaign. But this danger
can be met and overcome by thorough
organization. by earnest work, and by
covering the State with a network OF
Bryan and Sewall clubs, whose duty 1t
shall be TO expose the eXaggerations OF
the golditcs and see that the voters are
not deceived by The cry that the financial
issue is the paramount issue Of the cam
paign. If our party leaders In each pre-
cinct will organize Bryan and Sewau
club we can make this a campaign Of
principle and enthusiasm on the part OF
the Democracy that viii sweep every
