MIR. BRYAN'S ADVICE.
A SUGGESTION IN THE DIRECTION
or SUPPORTING TT.
BOLTOCRATS STILL SERVE HANNA.
Many of Them Remain Mt Work for
the Radical Purity In Nirginin-
Republican Money for Them
Texas "Accidents."

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November H.
(Specal.) Speaker Ryan. Of the virginia
House of Delegates, was here yesterday
and with DR. Robert n. Harper. secre-
tary OF the Virginia Democratic Associa-
ton Of the District, agreed that II was
proper TO follow the advice OF Mr. Bryan
as conveyed In Congressman Otey's cir
cular. that al the Democratic clubs should
retain their organization, hold regular
meetings. and circulate literature. Dr.
Harper has a suggestion in this direction
which II adopted. would effectually main
tain the organization Of the party ana
keep II in good trim FOR the campaign
next fall. lie proposes. first, TO keep the
Democratic Association headquarters here
constantly open during the coming ses-
sion Of Congress and. In fact, up TO ana
during the next State canvass second
that a Democratic club should be Kept IN
full operation. with rooms for regular
meetings. at every courthouse IN the
state: and. last. that the association here
would mail tho state clubs all speeches.
and other documents, the outcome OF the
discussions in the coming Congress Wlich
would be available as campaign literature
These would be sent I'm sufficient quanu-
ties 10 the courthouse clubs TO enaDle
the latter TO distribute the documents
iudiciously throughout their respective
counties. Probably Chairman Ellyson ana
Secretary Button win take this matter IN
hand. consult the Virginia Democratic
Association here. and secure the perina-
nent organization and regular meetings
Of the cOurt-ho clubs, and thus Keep
them fully informed and in touch with
each other and with the headquarters IN
Richmond Senator Martin. who Is now
here preparing for the business OF the
next session, thinks the plan is good
one. and recommends its adoption By the
State and county organizations.
There is every reason 20 believe that the
Boltocrats. or at least good many OF
them. are stnl in the service of Marx
Hanna and the Mckinley Republican
party in Virginia. II Is more than sur
missed that while the Republican leaders
in the State will be engaged in making
tp congressional contests. taking deposit
lions. and otherwise manufacturing cam
paign frauds on the "honest-election'
line. the BOltocTats will be entrusted Win
the management Of the state campaign
and 1 am informed that a consideraD.e
fund Tor use IN the Clp7t anu Np''N-N-
counties will be placed at their disposal.
II is therefore absolutely necessary TO
keep the Democratic clubs in perfect or
der and to maintain an unbroken 'front.'
IN the coming fight for the state ticket
the Legislature. and the next senatorshlp,
and the suggestion Of Or Harper IS well
worthy Of careful consideration.
