ANDERSON. W. Va, Aug. 21.-Aftcr
starting from here a month ago and TAX
Ing in Greenbrlcr and Monroe counties,
I am back again to this, the lower end
of Monroe. I stopped here to rest in
this. the most delightful little town In
the state, divided by tho clear blue wa
tiers OF the beautiful Grcenbrlcr river,
the most poetical river In the state and
brlmful OF the gamey black bass that
draws disciples of father 1saac Wall
ton for hundreds Of miles from this
state, Virginia, Ohio and further west.
Large parties of Kentucklans camp
along Its clear blue grass banks to get
fresh air. outdoor lie and to cast a fly
for the sportive bass. Anderson Is n
model little place, with Its neat houses,
always tastefully painted, with nice
lawns and wide streets. The Anderson
house has all modern convenienccs, and
the pure. sweet water Of the Grcenbrles
forced with n picturesque modern Dutch
windmill into nll Its rooms. It's cuisine

With railroad facilities, fresh air n
beautiful drives and grand scenery 1t
Is no wonder 1t Is the most popular
summer resort on the Chesapeake &c
Ohio railway. To the angler 1t ~ a
dream OF the anglers heaven. / am and
always have been In love with the town
and Its people and in that passion l am
one only among hundreds.

AS l passed through Monroe l stopped
at Sinks Grove and there ! had the
pleasure of meeting Judge A. n. Camp
bell, who Is n candidate for reelection
on the Popocratic ticket against Judge
McWhortcr, OF Lewisburg. ! have a
statement to make about what Judge
Campbell said TO me that l regret very
much to make, yet | deem 1t my duty
to SO do-duty to the people OF this ju-
dicial district. Judge Campbell knows
me as q Democrat, but did not ask me IL
/ had become q Popocrat; neither hud l
time to tell him that l was a sound mon.
ey Democrat, as l really believe the
judge would be IL he were not running
for office, but he called me to ono side
and among other things he said: There
is but one Republican for which / have
any respect in Monroe county. and that
Is Oliver Foster. The rest Of them are
id rascals.'' The judge went on In
this strain. especially cursing the Demo-
Gratis who had left the party, and wav-
ing the bloody shirt, until /, q son of q
Confederate soldier. was disguised and
surprised almost beyond belief. l had
met Judge Campbell before and did not
think him so vituperhtive. so radical.
and so prejudicial. II were in this dis
trlct I would not vote for him II l were
u silver Democrat. Much less would l
do so were l n Republican. Such pre-
judice can surely not 60 with an unblas-
eu decision in n court room. / do not
know Judge McWhorter, his opponent,
but II his mind Is as narrow and as BIZ
ased, both should be pulled down and u
man after the mind and nature of Judge
Guthrie should be run In their place.
The court room Is a poor place for pre-
judlce and the narrow mind Of u prcsid.
ing judge the most dangerous place in
which to lodge prejudice and vlndictivc-
ness. The judiciary should be above n
suspective faint of any kind.
The counties of G%reenbrier and Mon
roe and several adjoining counties are
without Republican newspapers, and on
ly hear, one side of the money question
in fact all ~questions-and that IN unfair
lilt ulltl ulIllul u p ~ MIN
the Democratic papers of Greenbrier
and Monroe. They will publish the
names of every Republican in the Unit
ed States, the state and the county
whom they know, and even those they
do not know, who have come out for
free silver. And they make more noise
over each one than the old blue hen and
her mate. the Shanghai rooster, do over
the spring fruit OF the aforesaid part
ners. One would think a skunk had in
vaded the b%arnyard.' And forsooth L
think that such is true Of the political
%barnyard. Why do they neglect To give
their readers the news about the sound
money Democrats who Will meet in In
dianapolls in convention on September
I'd? Why do they not publish The names
of these Dcmocrats-namcs famous in
history, In craftsmanship, In war, In the
party cOuncils-men of brains and in
tcgrity who are not for Bryan and Pop
ulism? Why do they not publish the
names of sound money, true Jeffersonl-
nm Democrats In their own counties?
Substantial Democrats and true citizens
like j. NJ. Price, Quinn Morton, Capt. C..
n. Simms, Rev. Ben IIorrop. Oscar
Price, Kirby McVeigh, and others, of
Ronceverte; L. j. Williams. Major J. w.
Harris, Captain William Tyrce. Alex.
Matthews and many others, prominent
farmers and business men Of Lewisburg,
and G%reenbrier county? Men like Alex
McVeigh Miller, e. +. Hill, Rev. George |
II. Lyle, George GwInn, Col. Point, Geo.
Peasants and many others Of Anderson
and vicinity: Dan O'Connell, j. r. Gar
ing, II. +. Dixon, r. F. Montague, L. +.
Huddleston and others of White Sui
phur; the Butts. the Arnetts, the
Boones. the Bynsides, Fences. of Green
vile: the Capert0ns, the McNeers, To-
gans, Nickels, Spessards and others of
Union md vicinity: the Manns and 9th
ers of Fort Spring. l could enumerate
many others, but this Is sufficient to
impress any fair-mlnded man that the
nbovc mentioned POpocratic newspapers
do not tote fair, cvcn In matters Of news. |
They want to stampede both weak |
kneed Democrats and Republicans to
free silver. l can anticipate a reply to
this: mo matter wha. these sound
money Democrats think, they will vote
for Bryan" Perhaps they Will. But IL
they do SO Is 1t possible that Republicans
with free silver tendencies Will vote for
Bryan when men who are absolutely OPP
posed to Organism will vote for Bryan?
That would be stigmatizlng all Re- |
publ!cans us fools. AS Abraham Lin
coin said: "One can't fool all the peo-
pie always" l have not as yet struck q |
Republican who Is fool enough to play
cat to the Democratic monkey. The |
election will show whether there are as
many Republican fools as the Demo-
Gratis assert.
The fact that John D. Anderson is TO |
be Watts secretary OF state In case of
his election, Is u stumbling block to all
the mountain Democrats. especially Is
II q thorn In the flesh to the rank and
Me OF the Democracy OF Monroe. Let
