A dispatch in yesterdays Times from
Waverly, Sussex county, Va. states that
Chairman King says he will carry Sus-

This Is the first official. statement we
have seen of what the Chicagoists intend
TO do in the coming election.
A few facts in connection with Sussex
are both interesting and important here.

Cleveland In 1883. Harrison received 1852
votes in Sussex county. while Cleveland re-
ceived only SEA- majority for Harrison

that there are csc more Republican votes
In Sussex than Democratic. The census
OF 1890 shows that there are l.Gel negro
males In the county over twenty-one TO

Al one of Candidate Bryan mee'ins9
last week the following occurred:
4 man in the audience inquired now IL
,yould he any easier, under free coinage
to qet silver from the silver kings thdn
il IS to get geld from the gold kings.
Mr.. B.yan replied us tnat all the DIM

My friends, the gentleman has asked
very simple question: and l am glad that
ii is asked, because II will show you what
tiny things can be stumbling blocks Tor
those who do not want 10 step over them.
(Applause)
The gentleman wants to know how we
are going TO get money from the silver
kings. / want him 10 remember this.
That he has two arguments Of lie repre-
sents the gold Standard which i would
like to have him reconcile when he has
time. They tel US that the silver king
will convert what is only worth 30 cents
into u dollar and make the difference
That is one Of the troubles, is it not?'
The man: at is"
Mr.. Bryan: Answer. then, when he
has done that. It will be a 5O-cent dollar.
that is another difficulty. is it not?"
Great cheering)
about II, want you to try to figure out
how that can be a hundred-cent dollar
long enough for the miner TO make 30
cents on it, and how II would then be-
come a ffty-cent dollar for all the rest
OF the people (Applause) The only way
in which the mines can make that profit
is by covering Il piece Of silver now
worth so cents into a dollar which will
be worth 100 cents. IT. when he gets
through he has only converted a JO-cent
piece OF silver into 5O-cent dollar he
has not made anything by the operation"
(Applause)"
That incident Is very excellent ex-
ample. showing the sort of insincere denna-
gogue Bryan is. He did not answer the
question that was asked him, and he
knew very well that he was not answer
ing 1t. The question asked was How
would 1t be easier 10 get silver from
the silver kings under free coinage than
It now is to get gold from the gold kings"
This was q very sensible question. which
cannot. Of course, be truly answered by
Mr.. Bryan II he has any regard for his
consistency. He pretended, therefore. TO
misunderstood his questioner lie pre-
tended TO understand the question as
affirming that the silver miners vyould
make 20 cents on each dollar. although
the silver dollar fell TO the value Of fifty
cents. But that was not in any way in
volved in the question asked. and Mt.
Bryan knew 1t was not. His answer.
therefore had no reference to the ques-
ton asked II was a trick resorted 20
TO divert attention from question that
he could not answer II he is To maintain
the opinions he has been avowlng. He is
a demagogue.

HONEST ELECTIONS BECOMING POP

The Democratic party Of Virginia has
the greatest possible interest IN having
a perfectly fair election. II every man
in this State Gould vote as he wishes to-
If there should be no cOnstraint put upon
any Noter-our majority would exceed any
ever before recorded by US IN this State.
This we most truly and firmly believe.
1t is the Democrats. not the Republicans
WAC have 10 fear that the Virginia cleo
tions will not be as fair and the voters
as untrammelled as they ought 10 be-
The Richmond Dispatch.
Wen, now, if the Democratic party-we
infer from the context that the Dispatch
means the Chicago-St. Louis-Populist
combination-really wants perfectly
fair election, untainted "by fraud, deceit.
or abuse" we hope they will exert them
selves TO accomplish IT, and will strive
to have any man punished who violates
the law.
We have from the first striven that
neither fraud, coercion. bribery or any
other form OF undue influence. should
be tolerated. and with the cordial CO.
OF Grafton of the Dispatch and its con-
geners. the way will be wonderfully
cleared for accomplishing our hearts
desire.
If majority Of the lawful voters OF
Virginia desire Mr.. W. J. Bryan to be
our next President and so cast their
ballots, we would not have the result
changed by one single ballot. But If
these voters desire otherwise. and their
desire is thwarted by perjured election
officers or by any other corrupt means.we
are not only for Furnishing the offenders.
but are now for taking every honorable
precaution that can be devised to prevent
fraud, and to detect It If it should be
committed.
And now. that the Dispatch has put
itself on the side OF honest elections, we
hope it will say there. at least, until the
coming election is over. We confess.
however, we have very little confidence
in the permanence of its views on any
question, except that it always knows
which way the wind blows.
The State las a wonderful story about
a "Bolter' offering to pay a free silver
Episcopal minister TO write a letter in
favor Of sound money. We would be
very glad to hear all about the case.

connection:
In the congressional election between

ocraD. I'm November. 1894. at Henry eiec-
ton precinct, In Sussex county. Ihorp
was allowed only e. votes and McKenney
was given n0-a majority OF 40. In 1884
Blaine. Rep Iblican candidate for Presi-
dent received 269 votes at this precinct.
and Cleveland received only 10. The
Republican vote at this precinct Is about
500, and the Republican majority Is about
leo. During the election OF 1894 22l
voters. whose names are recorded upon
the poll-books as having voted. reported
10 the tally-keepers as soon as they
had voted that they voted for Thorp.
Mr.. Thorp proved all Of these facts. and
Mr.. McKenney took no testimony to
disprove them, and Mr.. w. a. Jones.
when he tried the case on the Elections
Committee, could say nothing whatever
in excuse for them.
At Waverly precinct. in Sussex county.
Blaine received In 1854 ISL votes and
Cleveland only ia Republican ma
jority Of 6S. In the McKenney and Thorp
election. Thorp was allowed only 50 votes.
while McKenney was given 81.
Mr.. Kings statement makes 1t per-
fectly evident that another Thorp and
and Mckinney election Is contemplated
and that 1t is contemplated for many
other counties.
The law makes frauds OF this sort an
easy matter with corrupt election Off

MITTED, and they are to canvass
the vote. They can. OF course, do with
the ballots what they wish in that time,
aud the time is without limit. The Of

be used. The electoral board furnishes
the judges of each precinct double As
many official ballots as there are regis
tered voters, and they are required to
destroy all Of these, when the election
is over that have not been used by
voters. When the judges have the bal
lot-box in the secreted room, they may
destroy all the ballots the voters have
put into the box, and they may put
in their places the surplus ballots mark
ed as they wish them to be marked. The
game is one OF the simplest that can
be played, and 1t was prepared by those
who framed the law.
