Mark Hanna VIII Assist,

The Richmond correspondent of the
Washington Post says: ut is well
known that General Buckner, the
sound-money Democratic nominee fol-
Vice President, brought the informa
ton here to those in sympathy with
him that Mark Hanna's Republican
committees are prepared to assist al
gold Democrats for Congress. The idea
conveyed by General Buckner's in
formation. it is said, is that where the
Republicans are. not sure of winning
the Democratic boilers candidates car
rely upon substantial aid from Mark
Hanna. This information was en-
couraging to the laymen, but die moi

There was never man who was
hoisted on his own petard more quick
ly than Mckinley. He put high tariff
on tin, and then invested all of his
means in tin plant. In other words
he made business for himself by law,
and pretty soon his tin company broke,
and the law made business very lively
for him.

If it should be noticed that the
names of Palmer and Buckner are not
much used, in our columns, it must
not be attributed to improper motives.
We always tread lightly upon the
ashes of the dead We have great
respect for these ancient relics of by
gone days, these octogenarians whose
dotage allowed them to be made the
tool and plaything of the honest
element of the. Democratic party. Yet
Notwithstanding the fact that the
eyes of these ancestral persons are SO
dimmed that they cannot see their
position, we are not disposed to treat
them with levity, or forget that they
bear the honored title of candidates
for President and Yice-P President of
tina United States. The country
knows their nomination was cheat
and a fraud, and that they will not
carry the smallest cross roads pre-
cinct, but we will when we mention
them at all, mention them with pro-
lOuuu ToSpeCt, Uut We Will 0OG ntutlOu
them often. Our paper must print
matters of interest, we are bound to
publish items of Importance and our
readers brook no departure from this
custom. We cannot therefore take
the chances of losing patronage, by
passing live men and live issues, to
delve amid fossils. The candidacy of
these gentlemen of the Blue and the
Gray, for uniqueness if nothing else
ought to be mentioned sufficiently to
record the fact that they appeared
upon the scene about the second of
September in the year of our Lord
1896, as the honest representatives of
the honest portion of the Democratic
party, and made an honest effort to
elect honest William Mckinley, and
thus set an honest example to future
generations. Further than this we
ought not to be expected to go.

Some of our gold bug Staunton con
Germs paid their employees last Satur
day night in Mexican silver dollars
for campaign purposes and as an OBJ
ject lesson. This may be very con
vincing, but what has a Mexican dollar
to do with this issue any more than q
Mexican bull fight. The land Of the
Montezumas probably could issue bet
ter dollars, had not the United States
robbed her of more than half her ter
ritory. A country with only half hel
ability to pay ought not to pay in any
thing better than fifty cent dollars.

Capt. Bumgardner's Amherst Speech.

It is with regret we have learned of
the treatment of Capt. James Bum
gardner at Amherst Court House on
the last court day. No man in Staun-
ton fills fuller the hearts of Staunton-
ians than he, no man has raised his
voice oftener in behalf of the Demo
cratic party than ,he, no man has been
more charitable, or befriended often
er those in need. 1t is therefore a
source of sadness to his friends here,
who though they may differ with him
in his present political delusion to hear
that he should have felt himself mis-
treated at the time mentioned But
we have taken pains to look up the
matter and see if there was really much
just cause of complaint, and have learn
ed that it our townsman and friend
had not mounted that particular goods
box, on that particular day, at that
particular place, and had not denoun
ced indirectly the people who surround
ed him, by abusing in such unm ensured
terms the platform. which bespoke
their principles, and the men who com
posed the convention which framed
that platform, then it is certain that
the chagrin would not have been suf
fered, the insultfelt; or the accusation
of bad treatment been made
Capt Bumgardner claimed the right
of a free American citizen to stand up
on that goods box and speak his mind
in that public place. on that bright and
beautiful day, and the people who were
there claimed the right as free Ameri-
can citizens to be there, in their own
county, and to walk about those par
ticular streets on that particular occa.
sion. on that bright and beautiful day,
and being ungifted in speech, but high
lifted in voice. they chose about the
time Capt. Bumgardner chose to
NJ them, to retaliate, and in the
