GOSSIP OF POLITICIANS.
GOOD GOTERNMLNr MOyEMENT
CATCHING ON 40 PEOPLE.
What Mr.. Richardson said-Inconsistency
ofthe silveri'es-Repubiicap In
the City-Heg Ulster To-Day,


sign IT, But you look out; when the times
get dull and somebody has TO lay off, the
man that didn't sign will be the first TO
20" etc. why" he continued, "a Rich
mond policeman-I don't mind telling his
name. Charlie GiDson-told me that he
was i'm Newport News the other day, and
the fellows down there IN the Chesapeake
and Ohio shops are greatly worked up
They say that the poor fellows are given
TO understand that they must sign the
paper, and four OF them told Mr.. Gibson
that they were Bryan men"
GOOD GOVERNMENT.
The good government movement is
catching on. dozen people told me yes
terday that, while 1t was too late in the
campaign to effect a regular organiza-
ton, they have constituted themselves
committees Of one to talk the subject OF
good government up with their friends
and noighbors. and TO do al In their
power 10 defeat the ncfarious scheme
OF those who are. IN their desperation,
planning to work fraud for all it's worth.
Some OF those who talked with me OH
the subject had practically determined to
vote the silver ticket, but when the light
was turned on in The Times, and the
methods they are pursuing was shown
up. these self-respecting citizens decided
10 vote for sound money and good gov
eminent. The good work will go on. and
not cease until Richmond has secured
what all honest citizens. irrespective Of
party, want. and that is pure and I'M
trammeled elections.
INCONSISTENCY
These silver speakers are most incon-
sistent." said Il National Democrat to me
last night. They 90 around quoting
/ extracts from expressions and speeches OF
men. who some twenty years ago favored
! free silver IN some form or other, but
remain severely quiet regarding these
| people right here In our midst who ia
vored sound money few months ago
/ but who are to-day yelling their heads
OF for free and unlimited silver. Why,
lie continued. even Mr.. Richardson said
IN his speech the other night that he
was not a free and unlimited coinage
man. in the present acceptation of the
| term. only a few months ago. In view
OF these conditions IL seems TO me that
this business or reading extracts from
old speeches is all nonsense. Those old
| silver people had as much right 10 see
/
! saints have TO change their views"
THE VIRGINIA SPHINX.
Ny friend might have mentioned our
distinguished United States senatorial Il.
nancial acrobat.
lie is but a recent convert to the free
! silver fallacy.
Aside from the presence OF several dis
| tinguished Republicans who stuck their
noses into Republican headquarters yes,
! terday there was little of interest going
! on. Among the callers were r.. j. Walk
| or candidate for Congress in the Seventh
| district, who says his chances Of
! election are very good: Colonel John Ac-
/ kcr, Of Rockingham; J. Snowden Wood.
| Of Albemarle; William Haw, OF Han
over and W. Lee Brand, Congressional
district chairman of the Seventh district
! The colored silver club OF Jackson
Ward IS in a state of collapse | am told
| Dissatisfaction reigns supreme, the re-
/ port goes, and from the large number Of
| seventeen members the club is dwindling.
