WASHINGTON, ID. c., August lO-(Spe-
cial.)-Editor Carter Glass. OF the Lynch
burg News, and Congressman p. J. Otey.
OF the Sixth District, are here to-day
on their way to New York. They stopped
at the Metropolitan. and were called upon
by quite a number of resident Virginians.
Mr.. Otey. who il a member OF the Ma
tional Democratic Committee. is on his
way 10 attend the meeting TO be held
there on Wednesday, which will determine
the location OF the headquarters of the
committee during the coming campaign
lie is enthusiastic over the prospects of
the party in Virginia. and looks for a
solid free-silver delegation next Novem-
Der. He is confident Of success in his own
district. where forty-four Bryan and Sc
wall clubs have been recently formed
each of them with a membership Of from
80 10 400
Mr. Otey has not made up his mind
regarding the headquarters Of the Ma
tiOnal Committee. but IL is believed that
he favors this city, as 1t would be close
ana convenient Tor the party managers in
Virginia.
In all probability. Representative Otey
will be asked to act as a member of the

TO have the headquarters in this city, as
II would enable him to look after his
own district, as well as attend 10 national
matters.
EDITOR GLASS; VIEW.
Editor Glass goes to New York TO pur-
. chase type-setting machines in order TO
keep pace with the increasing circulation
of his paper Speaking of the political
In, he hp wi
be some Democratic OBJECTIONS in Lynch
burg but these viii be largely over
balanced by accessiOns from the Repub-
leans in the country. The people in the
rural districts were never so thoroughly
aroused, ana were never more determined
upon any issue than they are now in
tha cause Of free silver. Money, he said.
might be used by the oddities in the cities
TO some advantage, but IL would do no
good in the country. The people were in
such a temper that they would not stand
anything like the purchase Of votes by
the gold-bugs. In fact. the man who at
tempted such thing in the country If
caught, would be treated to a coat of
tar and feathers If not lynched. This
is a fight OF the people against the Re
publican monopo!ists, syndicates and
trusts. and they will stand no trifing
when IL comes to the matter OF voting.
Mr. Glass did not seem TO appre-
bend anything serious from the threat
ened. so-called national Democratic"
ticket which he termed weak and
light tail TO the Mckinley kite. The
whole proceeding Of the men who met at
indianapolis was irregular and unau-
thoriEed. and their action without any
binding force whatever. They represent
ed nobody but themselves. The utmost
they could accomplish would be to keep
the few boiling Democrats from voting
for Mckinley, and in this way serve the
interests of Bryan and Sewall.
The two Lynchburg gentlemen left for
New York this afternoon at o'clock.
CHAIRMAN JONES.
Mr. GLASS; views regarding the action
Of the sound-money Democrats at In
dianapolis differ very little from those
of Chairman Jones' OF the National Com
mittee. He returned here from New
York a day or two ago. and. in speaking
OF H. he said: This action will have
no effect on the general result. In the
Middle and Western States. where the
great battle is to be fought. the Demo
Gratis are more Independent than the2
are IN the East and the lines there are
we'll and sharply defined. Every man in
that section has made up his mind, and
the fight viii be squarely between McKin-
ley and gold and Bryan and free silver.
Western Democrats who are against
Bryan will not hesitate 10 vote for Nc
Kinley and Republicans who are free
silverites and oppose the monopolistc
ideas represented by Mckinley will ally
themselves With the Democrats. The
ticket 10 be nominated by the alleged
'sound-money Democrats will not affect
those men.
'In the East and South there is class
OF Democrats who hesitate 10 vote for
the Republican ticket. and the nomina-
ton Of this Democratic 'sound-money
ticket may enable them to ease their
consciences and refrain from voting for
Mckinley. This class Of Democrats IS
not large. and their votes Will be cast
An States where they cannot affect the
general result.
81 do not see. in any view Of the situa-
ton how this ticket expects to draw
many votes from the regularly nominated
and endorsed Democratic ticket Of a ma
tional convention. The indianapolis
people were simply nobodies."
