KICKING ABOUT DANIEL.
Democrats are still kicking about
senator paniefs delay in entering upon
the work of the campaign. They think
ne should have given up his law prac-
lice IN such an important contest as
this. lie could do more good on the
stump than dozen other speakers.
While the Democrats have plenty OF
orators, they are lacking in those who
can discuss the currency thoroughly.
True, they are BITTER off than the.2ppo-
sitIon, but Daniel being the head and
front OF the silver movement i'm Vir-
sinia should have been kept on the
stump all OF his time. Daniels course Is
being used outside of Virginia to the
possible injury OF Bryan.
GOV. o'FERRALL'S LETTER.
Governor O'Ferralrs letter published
i'll the Times yesterday was discussed
III political circles to-day. Republicans
ana sound money" Democrats said II
was fine campaign document. The
Democrats as rule expressed admira-
ton Tor its dignitied tone, but alta ched
no Importance 10 it. The argument ad-
Vanced, they said, could be, and would
be- easily answered.
WORKINK LIKE BEAVERS.
The Democrats are making efforts @
get every availab BILE speaker to take the
stump this week. They are pleased be-
cause Hon. III. st. George Tucker has
consented to make Bryan speeches and
arc trying 10 induce Hon George d.
Wise. Col. Taaewell Elicit. Hon. B. B.
Munford. Hon John Goode and others
to follow his example. LII this connec-
ton ii may be stated that some Demo-
oc!ats think strangely OF Senator Mar
TN Tor not making speeches. He talks
very well. Mr.. Martin is giving all his
time 10 the campaign and Is doing a
good work. but there are those who de-
sire him to do some talking
BRADY AND WADDILL BOSS.
Col James D. Brady and Judge Wad-
diii arc the big men at Republican
headauarters, Whatever they say
goes. Col. Lamb does not stay here any
more. Judge Waddill handles the cam
paign fund anad he pays it out after
Col. Brady has 20. K.'d'' the bills. They
are naturally the most popular men at
headquarters. Judge Waddill has q
private room, to which but few of the
faithful are admitted.
