Chairman Jones, of the Democratic
National Committee, gives out a
statement characterizing as absurd
the figures showing the probable
result of the election as given out by
Senator Quay. Chairman Jones
states that in all the States classed
by Senator Quay as doubtful a COM
plete and harmonious fusion be-
tween the Democrats. Populists and
Silver Republicans exists, rendering
them certain for Bryan. For the
same reason he classes rs doubtful
the States of Iowa, Ohio and Wis
c%onsin, and claims for Bryan the
electoral votes of Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas Kentucky, Michigan, Min
n%esota, North Dakota and West Vir-
GINA, all of which were claimed for
Mckinley by Mr.. Quay. The table
given out by Chairman Jones gives
81 votes as certain for Mckinley, 279
for Bryan and 81 as doubtful.

That eminent Virginian, the late
Hon. A. II. II. Stuart, of the grand
old county of Augusta, in the dark
hours of the late war-when Gen.
Lees army was short of rations and
had to be supplied at nee Or dis
handmade an eloquent speech
calling upon the people of the Valley
TO come TO the aid of the C%onfeder-
acy and contributed the needed sup
plies. Mr. Stuart (who was a con-
sistent Bell and Everett Union man,
and opposed to secession in toto)
said in substance:
"We, as Virginia, r into the SCdr,
and the time for discussion as to the
merits of its origin is past. The
question now seriously confronting
us is how to get out of it ? and to this
question the answer must be that
there is out one honorable way-and
that is TO fight ont Of 1T"
1t is unnecessary TO say that the
needed supplies were promptly con-
trihuted, and the urgent necessities
of Gen. Lees veterans well provided
for.
1.-The great body of Democracy is
to-day amid the throes of a mighty
struggle, confronted by a we'll organ
lied, magnificently equipped, crafty
and insolent foe. We are into the
fgAt. AS the Virginia Convention
of 1861 failed to act in accord with
the wishes of Mr.. Stuart, so the
Chicago Convention of 1896 may not
have done what many of our party
desired. But for this reason shall
we desert our comrades and our
chosen leaders. or shall we, like that
grand old statesman of the Upper
Valley, decide that the only honora,
bic curse in the present political
struggle is to stand to your c%oIorsr
shoulder to shoulder, and fight il
out to a victorious finished?

Died-oct 9th 1896, at the home of his
parents, in Brooklyn, N. Y, CHARLES
WILLIAM ROUSS TIMBERLAKE. eldest
son of Charles f. and Lille ], Timberlake,
aged 10 years and 3 days.
Sweet, gentle, loving and obedient in dispo-
sition, pure in character, this dear manly boy
hts passed to his reward.
Sick about two weeks, he suffered much,
but there was no murmer, no word of com
plant was uttered, and when the end came,
when his poor tired body could resist no longer,
it was simply failing aslpeep" to awake
lat home"
With sad but loving hearts, we followed him
to beautiful Gree nwood and laid him there to
rest.
Though the summons came when he was
just entering upon young manhood he has
not lived in vain, The influence of his young
life for good will long be felt. The memory
of his affectinate, gentle manner will long re-
main to draw hearts nearer together.

of Mr.. Charles Broadway Rousl, of New York,
