FOR BRYAN AND sEwALL.

This Is the position Of The Virginian
as against Mckinley and Hobart. 1t is
for the nominees OF the Democratic con-
vention at Chicago as against the nomi-
nees of the Republican convention at st.
Louis.
The VIrginian does not propose to sus-
tain all of the platform adopted at Chi
csgo. There has never been n platform
adopted by any political party that met
the views of all its adherents or sup
porters The Virginians position on the
does not hesitate to assert that there, are
two sides to the question, and the views
of The Vrginian are held by a minority
of the Democratic party of Virginia and
the country as Illustrated at Staunton
and Chicago. 1t will not do to heap
abuse and vituperation on the majority
in contro! of the Chicago convention or
the nominees OF that convention. Abuse
is not argument and in the end hurts the
vilfier and helps those who are vilned.
1t will not 90 to msrepresent the COM
plexion of the great majority of that
convention as Anarchists, Socialists TIL.
NANTES or Altgeldites. for it is untrue
They were earnest men, and sincere men.
who had convictions and who considered
that those convictions were based upon
truth, and they should have the oredit OF
honest opinions. President ST John.
of the New York bank, who sacrificed a
salary of $4,000 a year because OF his
sincere faith in the wisdom OF free silver
is an example. 1t was a representative
convention and II embraced within It the
ablest men of the country and the party.
1t was not Il convention controlled by
boss, like Mark Hanna, who presented
and represented the nominee OF the ST.
Louis convention in a manner that must
thousands and thousands of honest, lib
erty loving Americans with the specta-
Gle OF candidate for the high office OF
President being politically controlled
and owned by al BOSS representing the
most corrupt combination of monopolists
that has ever existed in this country.
There was no boss or bosses controll-
Ing the Chicago convention, and Its
candidate for the Presidency, William
Jennings Bryan, is a. Representative
American that the country may we'll be
proud OF. His nomination was secured
without the use of money or political
trickery, or shameful combinations that
would barter and trade the highest Office
in the gift of the American people as so
much merchandise. and mark the pre-
diction, much as the people differ on the
financial issue, the differences in the
manner in which the nominations of the
Republican and Democratic party were
made, is going 10 have it's effect on the
minds of the liberty loving, independents
American voters. There is greater dan
ger to the country its liberties, stability
and credit, by reason of the knowledge
that the Presidency is an office of batter
and trade, than there IS from a trial OF a
financial policy that may seriously injure
the business of the country The nation

lishment OF the one-the good sense and

So do politics.

never reach it you will not have

If you can't speak chesrfully,

Passing of the Horse.

1t is stated that the fall in the price OF
horses has reached its lowest point, and
that over $50, 1000 600 have been lost
within the last few years by those who are
dealing in them. With the increase OF the
trolley cars and the immense advance in
the use OF bicycles, thousands of persons
who formerly needed horses can do without
them, and by the substitution OF cleo
tricity for horse power an immense number
OF the average quality OF horses have been
thrown upon the market. The price of
the best horses is not much lower than

purpose of achieving "a mile in a shorter
space of time than was ever accomplished

as il takes the machine one mile to get

One revolution Of the Iedals carries the
machine fouy-tbree feet three inches, or

The injury Raedy received in a playful

stances should he attempt to enter the
ring until the srrain had been relieved.
