To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
As an humble citizen. I am very glad
that our congressional convention ended

was for Mr.. Elicit, but I am now for
Mr.. Lamb. He was honorably nOmi-
mated. and / feel honorably bound 70
stand by him. We country folks have
voted for our Richmond lawyers for
fifty years. and will do so again. but
we beg them TO help US this time, all Of
them, gold and silver Democrats.
Richmond city Is certainly very much
more interested that this district should
be Democratic than the adjoining coun-
ties are. Now Democrats. beware. 1t IS
not gold nor silver. but diamonds Of the
first water.
The sound-money Democrats cannot
elect a man unless by a coalition with
the Republican party.
Brothers. will you do that? Look at il
honestly. Look back how your city was
I'm her dark days after the war, and look
at her now. Brothers. IL cost many a
hard fight 10 get her where she IS.
Didn't we country folks stand by your
nomination and help TO set her there? II
IL best for all classes. / honestly believe.
Best for all colOrs Of metals and folks
that this district should be Democratic
certainly best for our city. We are
proud OF our city. 1t is our Mount Zion
set upon seven hills.
We spend all our money with you. Let's
have one more coalition Of Democrats,
and we will lose no sleep by 1t from a
disturbed conscience.

Enioyed the Seaside Brcezes.

The Chesapeake and Ohio special ex-
cursion train. Of five coaches. to the sea-
side. left Broad-Street Station Sunday
morning at $50 o'clock. At Newport
News about half Of the excursionists left
the train and either took the steamer
Louise for Norfolk. or remained in New
port News to join the balance OF the
party at Old Point or Buckroe Beach.
The trip by the electric road from New
port News to both these resorts is very
pleasant There was only a sight shower
at midday and the weather was fault
less during the afternoon. The bathing
at both Old Point and Buckroe Beach
is stlll being greatly enjoyed. and this
trip at this season Of the year is in many
ways even more desirable than in mid
summer.
Next Sunday another Chesapeake and
Ohio special excursion will leave Broad
Street Station at $50 A. NJ. for the sea-
shore.

"THE OTHER MANS WIFE"
Berte COote and Nick Long mt the
Academy-InriOw's Ministries.

Academy-BariO Minstrels.
Among the prominent comedians who
possess the power Of really forcing an
audience to laughter are Bert Coote and
Kick Long. Coote has been on the stage
since childhood. His success as The
New Boy" the past two years is we'll
known TO all theatre-goers. Nick Long
made his first appearance in San Fran
cisco. under the management OF Law
renee Barrett and John Mccullough.
Later. at the Baldwin Theatre, same city,
he produced the Private Secretary" and
has since become one Of the best stage
producers in this country.
The first Joint production of these art
lists Is "The Other Mans WIFE which
will be presented al the Academy OF
Music tonight, and at matinee and ece-
ming performances tomorrow. IL Is a
comedy from the French" and gives
both Of them an opportunity 10 display
their ability. In the company are Julia
kingsley. Idalene Cotton, Lillian Dix,
Carrie Medford, Harry c. Stanley. Kraft
Walton Wallace Henderson J. W. Gard
ner, Henry George. and others.
The comedy will be preceded by James
A. Hernc's delightful one-act play, "A
Soldier Of France"
1t IS a remarkable fact, in view OF the
prevailing depression in money affairs
that Manager Leath's new venture. the
Barlow Brothers Ministries. has not
played a single losing night since II
started upon it's career. in Petersburg
nearly two months ago. This fact is
particularly noteworthy, az general cleo
lions are supposed to initiate greatly
against the success OF theatrical enter
prises, and many noted actors have de-
cided not to start out upon the road I'M
III the campaign is over.
Mr.. Leath's Ministries will be at the
Academy on Friday night for one per-
Torrance only. The seats were put on
sale this morning. and the demand for
seats has been very large.

Kisses FOR A PREACHER.
The Rev. Thomas Dixon's Sermon
Causes Excitement.
CNew York Tlmes-7th.'


The Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., preached
yesterday morning in the Academy OF
Music on "The Political Crisis" He con-
demned Candidate Bryan and the Chi
cago platform. and a number OF his
hearers left the church. Others who re-
manned, but did not agree with the
preachers remarks. gave vent to their
disapproval I'm Kisses and shouts OF
That's false" or you are wrong!" The
majority Of the audience, however. in
dorsed the preachers views by applause.
Mr.. Dixon declared that IL was the
duty Of every patriotic citizen TO support
the Republican ticket. and said that the
election OF Mr.. Bryan would bring about
civil war, and 100000 men would be
thrown out OF employment.
THE old prophets were not priests. but
statesman" Mr.. Dixon said "and II Is
my ambition not to be a priest but like
the prophets of old. Thirty-six years
ago the nation was confronted by a great
crisis. which resulted in the war between
the States. and again we are brought
face TO face with a great political crisis.
The Democratic party has given up every
principle that IL has fought for for 100
years. Democracy sold itself for sixteen
pieces OF silver"
It was when Mr.. Dixon was denounc-
ing the free coinage Of silver as bum
ko-steering business that the de-
monstration began. Several shouted,
you don't know what you are talking
about" One gray-haired man arose and
exclaimed: II won't stand this any
longer" and rushed from tho building.
He was followed by fifty others. some
applying unklnd epithets to the preacher
as they left. The exodus unnerved Mr..
Dixon for the moment. but he was quick
ly treasured by the applause from those
who Endorsed his views
