TN THE FIELD.

Rev. F. w. Gunsaulus, of Chicago, a
former pastor of Brown Memorial Church,
Baltimore, who has Travelled through ten
States and Territories, says William j..
Bryan, the democratic presidential candi-
date, has great following. Rev. DR.. Tai
mage, who has returned from trip through
the South, said he found but few gold men
in that section of the country.
The Washington Star says Mr.. 3: D.
Root. editor of the Winchester Va, Leader
republican, during visit at thesilver party
headquarters, announced his conversion to
the cause of silver. In an interview he
said to Star reporter that "Bryan and
Sewall will carry Virginia by larger ma

In Virginia the white republican farmers
are nearly all for silver and that many re-
publicans are turning over to the ticket. :"

THE NOMINATION AT AMHERST.
Mr.. fuckers defeat and withdrawal
from the contest after the active fight
made by him and his friends through the
district, is simply the result of his not
being in accord with the people of his dis
trict onthe free coinage of silver. On most,
if not all, other questions, he was at one
with them and had, in addition, wide
spread personal popularity. Nothing
could better evidence the strength and
depth of the free coinage feeling in the dis
trict than the turning down of MI. Tucker,
for no member who ever represented it was
more personally popular. AS matter OF
fact his fate was settled when the Tenth
District delegates showed their hands at the
State convention. They wanted 16 to l
man from s'wayback, and Mr.. fuckers
record did not measure up to their wants.
Mr.. Flood, who will be Mr.. fuckers
successor, is also young man, full OF
vigor, and with ambition to make good
record. He is free silver advocate OF the
straightest sect and has no doubts about
our going it alone. AS that is the main,
indeed the only, question, that will be at
issue this campaign, the free silver Demo-
Gratis have selected the right man for the
occasion.

THE FLFTIETH ANNIVERSA
NUMBER.

1t would be hard to find more deeply
interesting and, at the same time, instruc-
tive publication than the Fiftieth Ami
versary Number of the Scientific Ameri-
can, just issued, containing seventy-two
pages profusely illustrated. All the great
inventions in the past fifty years, their
earliest inception and their growth, are set
before you in letter text and engraving.
The first transatlantic steamship, the first
locomotive, the first sewing machine, the
first telegraph instrument, the first phono-
graph, telephone. iron clad war ship and
many others, are all there in all their crude
ness. and their improvement up to date is
followed. And not least interesting is the
illustrated growth Of the Scientific Ameri-
can itself with its Patent Department.
The number is most interesting and valu-
able and one which every one should have

THE PREDICTED PANIC.

We copy the following from the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, one of the foremost
and most conservative financial papers of
New England-a gold standard paper
itself:
while we believe that silver is going to
meet its Waterloo in November, still, even if
it should triumph. we still maintain that we
are emerging from the slough of despond, for
after the first spasm is over free silver will
result in imitation all along the line. There
fore, for long phil, this is the time to think
OF buying stocks, and not of selling them. In
this connection, it is pertinent to remark tina
the panic that every one expects, seldom, if
ever, comes. Just now every one is reefing
sails and sailing close to the shore. Ask them
why and they reply, oh. if silver triumphs
at the election we are going to have a great
big panic
sNow, panics never come under such con-
ditions, for the simple reason that credit has
been curtailed, merchants are not loaded up.
and, consequently, weak spots have been
eliminated. And so with free silver: if it
should come. which we do not regard as at
all probable. the transition to free silver
basis would be accomplished with far more
ease and facility than many believe posi-
ble."

A CORRECTION.

We try to make the VINDICAToR as &C.
curate as possible, but we made mistake
last week which we regret very much. We
cut out an editorial of the Baltimore Neavs
advising ''sound money" Democrats to
vote for Mckinley. The editorial type is
precisely like that of the Richmond Times.
and when we picked up the excerpt some
weeks after, we thought it was from the
Times. So thinking, we republished it
Friday under the title of 'sThey won It
Take Their own Medicine" and added to
it an excerpt from the Times saying Messrs.
Bryan and Royal editors of that paper
would not vote for Mckinley, but would
not vote at all. We regret it all the more
because We led the Lynohburg Neacs into
the Same error.

THE CHAIRMAN OF VICTORY.

Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson the Democratic
State Chairman under whom the party has
had nothing but victory, was reelected by
the State Committee on Tuesday, and after
much pers uasion he accepted, and is now
at the helm. We can only congratulate the
party on having the best organizer and
wisest party head that we-or the party,
know of. 1t is interesting to know MI.
Ellyson's disinterested opinion of free sill
yer as winner. When he was in Staunton
at the State convention, having been gold
bug he felt some reluctance in resuming
the Craftsmanship which he thought logi-
cally belonged to a silverite in whom that
wing had confidence. In talking with him
the editor of the VIND1cAToR, with the
frankness of fellow gold bug. said, "Does
any fear of losing the fight make you hest
tate ?'' Losing the fight ~ said Chair
man Ellyson, "Why this free silver issue
will CARRY Virginia by over thirty thou
sand. 1t can't be stopped, and you will
see it," That was June 4th, and every
day since. the issue has, as Mr.. Ellyson
predicted, been growing stronger.

haps with the probability favorable to Bryan.
AT all events, it is by no means certain that
Mckinley can carry the State. The normal
Republican majority is about 25,OOo That is
the safe natural Republican majority. There
are about 50, 900 Populist votes and 10000
Prohibition votes. Bryan will probably get
$4,000 Populist votes and. 5000 Prohibition,
That is, he will get the silver vote of these
two parties.
SIN the cities there Will be considerable
gold Democratic vote for Mckinley; in the
country districts there will be large silver
Republican vote for Bryan. These may pref
ty nearly offset each other, though it looks as
if Bryan would get more Republican votes in
the country than he will lose Democrats in
the cities.
"There is hardly anything but silver talked
throughout the State. The men around the
thrashing machines at lunch time, the groups
around the country stores and about the vii
lage hotels, Republicans and Democrats
head to head. are talking about the money
questions. Men who never before could
talk together on politics without punching
each others heads, are hand in hand or are
talking the matter over from different stand
points in sympathetic spirit. If any one
says gold, Ithere will at once be half dozen
men to jump on him. 1t makes little differ
ence how much fallacy there is in their argu-
ments these country folks think they have
mastered the question, and they can put i'll ten
words to one of the man who tries to show
them that they are wrong.

Will Mckinley carry His Own
State?
[From the Washington Star July 80. ]

From the washington Star July 80.
Judge R. NJ. Otter, of Hillsboro, Ohio,
who is gold Democrat and quite active in
politics, talked today with Star reporter on
the situation in Ohio.
II never saw such a situation in politics
BEFORE" he said. MANY waves of sentiment
have swept over Ohio; but have never seen
anything like the present. In the country dis
tricts the silver sentiment is intense. Every
man you see is loaded with arguments. and
there is no use trying to talk with them.
"The silver men have been reading every
thing they could get hold of on their side Of
the question, until they can outtalk Harvey.
They are as glib as possible with arguments
which regard as false, but which they are
satisfied with, and they will dance all over
any man who says gold. 1t has become
sort of religion with them and they will not
listen to nor tolerate opposition. You can't
make any impression on them any more than
YOU can argue man out of his religious
faith. The thing has spread so that regard

THE CORPORATIONS AGAINST THE
PEOPLE,

1t is reported to us that railroad corpc-
ration in Virginia has hired middle of
the road" anti silver newspaper to furnish
it with several thousand papers daily and
that the stations of that road and other
points are flooded daily with the issue.
One of the best results of Bryan's cleo
tion-not less valuable than the free silver
will be that the corporations of all sort
will be picked up and placed outside of
politics. They will be given laws already
made and not have to spend the stockhold-
ers money in getting laws made to suit
themselves.
Every day that passes, this campaign is
taking on more and more the aspect of the
Corporations against the People, and it is
hardly necessary to say which of the two is
the strongest.

OPENING GUNS OF THE CAMPAIGN

A big gun went Off in Alabama Monday,
which will be pleasant reading for Mr..
Bryan before he is formally Informed of
his nomination, in New Y ork next Tues
day. Alabama elected free silver Demo-
cratic Governor by the big majority of
$4,000 over the candidate of the Republican
Populist fusion.
A smaller, but very significant. gun went
off in Maryland on the same day.
The town of Brunswick, hereto
fore one of the Republican strong
holds OF Frederick county, and a. railroad
town with railroad vote which had been
counted on for the Republican ticket, was
carried by the Free silver ticket by large
majority. The wage earners couldn't be
induced to swallow the silly stories about
free silver bringing reduced wages.

Since the above was written we have
read the following in the Neavs of last Sun
day under the caption I'VE all know where
We are at":
'"The News has not wandered far away from
the principles Of sound Democracy, esteemed
INDICATOR, and the directors know "where
they are at"
The News plays second fiddle neither to
Yost's Weekly nor to the Chicago deliver
ances, nor will it be found pandering to the
Popnlists."
The Democrats of Augusta county are
anxious to know who are those Directors
who can take paper pledged to support the
Democratic nominees; break that pledge;
reverse it's political position into one Civ
ing daily assistance to the Republican
nominee, and cooperating with the Repub-
lican organ here, Yost's Weekly, in its OPP

are the names Of these gentlemen? If our
