fractions will not accept engage.
ments this far west until after that
date, as interest in the campaign
will divert from the patronage OF the

MORE PROOF OF COERCION.

Judging from the reports Of the progress
Of the campaign we see in our Virginia
exchanges and from the rapidly with
which Bryan-sewa1 clubs are multiplying
I'm the rural districts. It would seom'that
the decoy ticket is not decoying to any
alarming extent in the State at large.
And this affords additional evidence OF
the coercive influence that IS being ex-
ercised by the corporation interests that
are affiliated with tho McKinley-Buckner
alliance against the regular Democratic
ticket. it is only in the cities and towns
where there are corporation employees
that the decoyites are cutting any per-
ceptible figure. OF from the lines Of rail-
road ana where men are not on pay
roll the disaffected Democrat is a rarity.
In view of this contrast 1t IS utterly
absurd for the corporations to claim that
their campaign against Bryan and Sewall
is not one Of coercion. and that their en-
ployees are at liberty to vote as they
please. No more conclusive proof OF the
real nature OF their so-called campaign OF
education could be adduced than is af-
forded in the disparity between the num-
Der of"Eold Democrats in the rural COM
munities and the number in the cities and
towns where corporation laborers. me-
chanics. and clerks constitute any con-
siderable part Of the population.
That there are in our. cities and towns
some boiling Democrats who are not en-
ployees OF or dependent uDon corporations
we know. Moreover. we would fam be-
lleve that these have no sympathy with
the new methods that have been intro
duced from the North into Virginia poll
ties IN order 10 defeat the Will of the
people Yet we would say TO them that
until they repudiate those methods by re-
turning 10 the house Of their fathers they
will be. however unwittingly, encourag
ing a despicable proceeding and doing
great injustice TO themselves and their
peOple.

DE,ioCnATIC nACKsLIDER.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican Is
usually very staid, but Just at present II
is having a whole heap Of fun at the
expense Of its boiling Democratic con-
temporaries that are doing the Palmer
Buckner subterfuge act. In a recent issue
II remarks that no sooner have the good
Old Democratic organs like the Hartford
Times posted the Palmer ticket at the
head Of their columns-as an antidote
to the bane Of anarchy in the Chicago
platform as well as free silver-than
some one drags out General PalmeTs
speech in the Senate on the Homestead
riots Of 1892.
The Republican then serves up as a
dish Of crow TO its contemporaries afore-
said a large portion of the speech re-
ferred TO- and after declaring that no
part Of the Chicago platform, and no
man connected with the making Of it,
has ventured to avow opinions Of so ex-
IRENE a socialistic nature as these Of
General Palmer, concludes that there IS
no refuge for such men as the venerable
editor of the Hartford Times this side
OF the woods or the Mckinley camp.
The Republican does not pursue the
Indianapolis boilers into the woods or the
Mckinley camp with a free-silver strap
taken from their own woodshed, but it
might have done so by quoting this from
Palmer's paper:
Scratch an opponent Of the coinage Of
silver and you will find a supporter Of
the national bank system. and you won't
have to scratch very hard
or this from the same:
1T is all very well to abuse the friends
of the silver dollar as inhationists
thieves, regulators, and all sorts Of
things. but really the friends of the gold
dollar ought TO pay the same attention
to the members of the convention who
framed the United States Constitution
and who made the silver dollar the unit
and standard of value In this country"
or this:
"If there is any dollar more honest than
the silver dollar Of 81 IA grains (of pure
silver it has not been discovered in the
century or more that the nation has ex-
listed. II there can be any such thing as
a dishonest dollar. that miserable sham
trick and travesty OF n coin, n gold dol
lar exactly fills that designation"
Verify. the way Of the Democratic
backslider is hard.

THE NILE EXPEDITION.

The report Of the death of the Khalifa
Abdulla was denied almost as soon As IL
was circulated. If the death of this
scourge OF the Soudan is "a dead sure
thing" this time. the difficulties in the
way Of accomplishing the task the Anglo
Egyptian Nile expedition set out to ac-
complish will be considerably lessened.
Fanatlcism in the Soudan has been on
the wane for some time, there is EVIL
dence of the existence of disaffection on
the part Of some Of the tribes, and the
Khalifa has been able to maintain his
sway only by merciess tyranny.
However, whether he Is dead or not,
It is very certain that there IS 10 be
no halt in the Nile expedition until It's
object is attained. The column is now
pressing up the Nile. and news of am
other clash OF arms with the dervishes
may be expected at any moment The
immediate objective OF the movement is
Dongola, but the question is asked. After
Dongola, what? Well. Lord Salisbury
