boys who were. so br.bed Tuesday. we are

what they would not have done had they

they were taking. Why didn't these
parties approach older men, stronger
men? Why didn't they have the back
bone to come out in front OF the polls
and, by logical argument attempt TO
induce voters 10 vote their way? Why
didn't they take the stump, when they

Probably the Oldest voter In Virginia
last Tuesday was Mr.. William Sutton,
OF Fauquier county. He was born in
Fauquier In 1904. and is in the SD year of
his age. He cast his first vote for An

Democratic presidential candidate since.
including William j. Bryan, 10 vote for
whom he journeyed several miles last
Tuesday. His voting precinct Is The
Plains, near which place he was born,
and has lived ell these years. Mr.. Sutton
has four sisters living whose ages are.
respectively. IS, So. &C. and 81 years.-The

We hope that Mr.. sutton will live TO

presidential candidates. SO far as we
know. he IS the oldest man who cast
vote on Tuesday last.

An examination OF the figures Of last

be remembered that the Post, from the
very first, insisted that Bryan's chances
were good, that at any stage Of the cam

that McKinley's election. eltnough we re-
garded 1t as highly probable, depended
after all upon very narrow and uncer-

HANDED TIE TARIFF CUP.

The free-trade papers that abjured the
true Democratic faith, and Frustrated
themselves before the little gold idol that
was set ND on one corner Of the st. Louis
platform, are already having forced upon
them the bitter cup Of high tariff as the
price OF their apostacy. The smoke OF
the battle had not cleared away before
The yice-chairman OF the Republican Ma
tional Committee sent out a statement
that the Republicans would gain enough
United states senators to insure gold
senate. and 10 that statement added:
'Then. too, Senator's Wolcott and Car
ter viii be In favor of tariff legislation,
thus insuring the enactment of protective
measures"
There is some question as to the correct
ness Of the first proposition. but the Sc
cond vindicates the contention the Dis
natch adhered to all through the cam
paigrl-that the success OF the Repubn-
can and Bolter alliance would mean not
merely the triumph Of the gold standard,
but that OF all the ancient and detes table
policies and "atrocious doctrines" of the
Republican party. A man high in the coun-
ellis Of that party-no less a person than
Hannas first lieutenant-exultantly pro-
claims that the result Of Tuesday was a
victory for McKineyism. What that i'm
plies is especially emphasized when it is
remembered that, during the canvass.
neither pleading nor threat induced Nc
Kinley to dismount from his tariff hobby,
or utter a word of condemnation Of trusts
and combinations. Truly the Bolter or
gans find themselves sitting down to o
banquet of Dead-Sea fruit, amid the
jeers Of those who. having duped them,
now repudiate them.

Only a golden butterfly,

Like the varying shades we often see
On the edges OF the evening sky,
Which the fading sunshine brings.
Only a golden butterfly
Lies cold upon the grass,
And the birds and bees go huttering by
Never pauslng moment to see
That dead form as they pass.
Only a golden butterfly
Touched by the shades OF grief.
In the garden OF society,
Mongst fashions flowers which bloom

Once sought to find relief.
But one day meath the wintry sky

Though the merry world ne'cr PAUSED

fenced 10 three months imprisonment,

NJ 'CLUSKEY SET FREE,
A. H. Dean Helps Him Out
With Some Testi-
mOny.
Dean Says He Did Not Raise the
Check, Nor Does He Know
Who Did Do II.

The case against Joe McCluskey, alias
]. w. Costa, alias ETC., who was charged
with forgery for being implicated in the
check-raising which victimized the Nevada
Bank, has been dismissed.
The prosecution finished its case early
yesterday morning, and J. N. E. Wilson,
counsel for McCluskey, then asked the
court to instruct the jury to aequit on the
ground that the evidence was not suffi-
cient to hold him. The motion was
granted.
The only evidence the prosecution had
to convict McCluskey was that OF Wylie
Lyle, Deans office-boy, and Thomas
Grant, paying teller of the Nevada Bank,
but neither of these would swear they had
ever seen McCiuskey in Deans company
Part of the evidence of the prosecution
was document written by Dean admit
ting that he passed the check and prepared
the plan, but denying that he had any
hand in the raising OF the check or any
knowledge OF the person who raised it.
THIS was put in for the purpose of proving
Deans connection with the crime, and
consequently the completely of McCluskey.
The statement is typewriter and is quite
long. 1t sets forth that Dean drew the
check and how he started East to spend it.
1t also describes how he worked up an ac-
count in the Nevada Bank all of which
has been told, and it ends by exonerating
McCluskey.
