WHAT "PARTY REGULARITY DE
MA<D."

The Chicago party has two tickets in
the neld one is Bryan and Sewall
and the other IS Bryan and Watson.
in many Of the States there is fusion,
by which half OF the electors are for
scwam and half for Watson. and all for
Bryan. In some States, as we
understand Il. Sewalls name does not
appear at all. but all the electors are
for Bryan and Watson.
Now. all you Democrats who are fol-
lowers Of the Chicago party. take notice
that you are called upon not only 10
vote for man for President who has
been aifillating with Populists and who

Populist party. but to vote Indirectly

list OF many years standing.

day with the taunt OF party regularity"

THE JUDGE CONDEMNED-THEC GRIM
NAL ACQUITTED.

1t is proposed by the political opponents
Of the Chicago nominee and platform to
adopt some measures Of prevention
against fraud at the polls If there IS no
purpose to commit fraud. these precau-
tions can do no harm TO any one. If
there is such purpose, it must follow that
efforts to apply a remedy will be COM
mendable and should have the support
of every right-minded citizen. The only
question remaining would be that the
steps taken in that direction should be
legitimate as well as efficient.
Among the plans suggested is one pro-
vidlng that a record be kept beyond the
legal limit at each poll of such OF the
voters as should voluntarily report the
fact that they had cast their votes
against Bryan The sole object Of this
would be to obtain and maintain a check
upon the election returns. No voter would
be. or could be, compelled to disclose his
vote; the report, if made, would be en-
tirely OF his own vOlition, and would be
used only TO insure that his vote should
be counted as cast. Here there is 10
invasion Of the secrecy OF the ballot, no
intrusion upon the free and orderly con-
duct OF the election. no infraction Of
either the spirit or letter OF any law. II
IS but TO 90 what has always been dome
in every community where elections are
free and returns are honestly made.
But no sooner had this plan been made
public than the necessity for its adoption
was clearly demonstrated by the c.Crus
Of opposition TO it from the silver press
and managers. This opposition took the
form OF violent denunciation and threat
but it all amounted TO confession thlt
those In charge OF Mr.. Bryans canvass
in Virginia could not afford TO have any
restriction placed upon the lcgnse OF the
election officers TO manipulate the ballots
at viii.
We so accept it, and it will be so ac-
cepted by the general public. Such
denial Of franchise to the qualified voters
as that displayed in the Syrcle case; such
utter disregard OF right ana deceacy rs
were exhibited in the wholesale erasure
Of voters from the registration
Mst at Shumakers, such wilful por-
version Of the statutes as that which sup
ports the threat to arrest ana imprison
citizens not merely in the exercise OF
lawful efforts TO protect their own ball
lots, but IN the inalienable personal right
10 tell whom they please low
they chose to vote; the boastful
claim OF carrying Virginia by a majority
altogether disproportioned to all the con-
dtions Of the political parties in the
State,--all these point TO the existence Of
a conspiracy to disregard and nullfy the
popular will. In the name OF free cleo
tions. all chance OF u fair election is 10

preventing intimidation the most patent
rights Of the individual are to lie denied

TIMING TO LET GO.

Several days ago. in reply to the Nor
folk Pilots contention that the value
Of q dollar will be cut in two by free
coinage. The Times said'
"The Pilot has also contendcd, as we
understand its latest article, still con-
tends that under free coinage the amount
o. money Is 10 be doubled and the value
o. the dollar IS TO bo reduced relatively
from 200 cents to 100 cents. Now. If we
have followed our contemporary. the con-
clusion seems to us inevitable that under
free coinage The purchasing power Of
each and every dollar is 10 be reduced
one-haif i'm which event the dollar which
the wOrkngman earns viii purchase
only one-half as much as it VIII now pur
chase and. Therefore. I'm order 10 receive
as much pay under free coinage as he
now receives the iaborors pay must
be doubled"
our esteemed contemporary rcproduces
this paragraph. and with its usual can
dor which we have commended. re-
plies: THAT IS true, both ways, provided
nothing .ntcrvencs to prevent" But the
Pilot goes on to explain that this law
of economies may be affected by the
law Of supply and demand, and that
while the law is perfect and certain in
theory, it often fails in practice because
some other law interposes TO counter
act the law Of supply and demand, or
because this law itself. operating from
another direction. may divert or check
its effects as first Indicated" But the
Pilot is no less sure that if prices OF
goods. etc. double. and the purchasing
power of money or its relative value
decreases one-half, just as certain is
it that wages will double
1t will be seen that the Pilot qualities
its original proposition with 50 many IFS
and butts that the proposition IS hardly
to be relied upon, and We might dismiss
the whole subject without further words,
but that We cannot permit our contem-
porary to "let 60 SO easily. We mus
hold him to the book. He set out with
the bold declaration that all the dollars
now in existence. gold. silver, and pa
per, are 2oO-cent dollars, and that free
coinage would increase the supply Of
money so as 20 reduce their value 10
lO0-cent dollars. Which, being interpreted,
means that under free coinage the luI-
chasing power of the dollar is to be re-
duced one-half and that being the case
every iaboring-man must have his wages
doubled in order to receive the same
pay for days work that he receives
under present conditions.

JNTIMIDAIIO<.

The Dispatch sim harps upon the
imaginary coercion of railway employees
in Virginia. IT may be that some few
among the thousands Of that class of
wage-earners in this State are so con-
stituted as to conjure up visions Of dis
missal from employment in case they
should exercise the undoubted right Of
a free man to vote as he pleases. The
Dispatch claims TO have some anonymous
correspondents among the railroad men
who are in that frame Of mind. But, on
the contrary there are railroad officials
who do openly spouse the cause of
BrSan. who do so without mourning
DISCHARGE or other discipline from their
employees, and this proves that the Dis
patch is setting up straw man for the
purpose Of knocking il down The only
real intimidation Of which The Times
is cognizant in Virginia Is the threat more
or less openly made, by the machine rep
resentatlves in this state OF the Chicago
ticket that votes east against it will
not avail. and that efforts TO secure an
honest return Of such votes Will streat-
ed as a breach Of the law, and be met
by arrest ana imprisonment.
