SCOTT COUNTY.
Democratic Meeting General
walkers Canvass.

GATE CITY, VA. July l6.-(SpeciaL)-
The Democrats OF this county, in mass
meeting, elected delegates to the con-
gressional convention which meets in
Wytheville August 9Th. They instructed
the delegates selected 10 vote for no man
for the nomination who is not in fuli
sympathy and accord with the Chicago
platform. The meeting was large, enthu-
siastic, and harmonious, and the county
seems to be solidly in line.
General Walker was here yesterday
looking after his fences He publishes
two-column letter In the Gazette an
nouncing himself as candidate before
the Republican convention for the noinl-
ration for Congress. He says that while
he stood for the free coinage Of silver at
the ratio of 10 10 l. both in Congress ana
the ST. Louis convention, in accordance
with the platform upon which he was
elected two years ago. yet he now bows
to the expressed will OF the Republican
party and can conscientiously make the
race upon the gold-standard. The Gene
raj went to Lee county in the afternoon.
on the south side Of this county sun
day afternoon the hardest rain fell that
has visited that section for twenty years.
Fences were swept away, one mill-dam
washed out. and much damage done TO
the hay and late oat crop. c. c. Strong's
saw-mill was broken TO pieces by timber
being washed against ii, and all the lum-
her and logs around II swept away.

THE STOCK MARKET.

The weak and disturbed condition OF
the stock market reaching to other
branches of trade, indicates a fear on the
part OF investors that Bryan and Sewall
are much stronger than IT was generally
believed when they were first nominated.
1t also shows that the exaggerated ideas
Of the damage that may be done by the
election of these gentlemen have taken
deep root. Some part of the present
state of the market is also due to the
critical illness Of Mr.. Vanderbilt who
Is the holder of stocks OF great variety
and value, the disposition OF which in
case of his death cannot be foreseen.
AS we have more than once said, the
dangers of the present situation are so
serious they need not be magnified in the
slightest degree. That free coinage would
send gold TO a premium we cannot but
believe; but, in that event, many who are
now alarmists would actively in
terest themselves in making the best Of
the situation. What a pity 1t IS that
the Wall-street operators did not take
fright some months ago, and come TO
the aid Of the gold men," who were
fighting the battles of the country in
many States! Instead OF this. these sa-
plent New Workers pooh-poohed the sill
yer movement. hooted at the idea Of the
silvertes controlling the Democratic con-
vention, and waited for Mr.. Cleveland to
decide whether he would or would not
accept a third term.
10 he
silverites had secured large majority
in the Democratic convention. these New
Workers ridiculed the idea that the nomi-
nees of that convention could be
elected Now they have awakened to
the truth, and find it is agreed on all
hands that If the election were to occur
at once Bryan and Sewall would be
elected. Hence. they are becoming
panicky. At last, we hope they are pre-
pared to look the situation squarely in
the face. At last we hope they have re-
solved not to continue their exaggera-
tions but will go TO work to meet the
impending trouble in the best possible
spirit.
If the rampant spirit Of exaggeratlon
now prevailing COulu DC SldDlptu out, lne
country would be saved much unnecessary
alarm and distress.
Everybody knows that before free
silver law can be enacted a silver Presi-
dent and a silver House have to be elect
ed. Ard where is there a man who does
not know that, should such a bill be-
come a law, many who are now exciting
the stock market to frenzy would then
take the opposite tack, and beg the pub
lie TO believe the danger was not so great
as had been thought?
We must not be understood as holding
that the country could be put upon a
silver basis without disturbing business
not even Senator Daniel goes as far as
to say that-but we do insist that those
who are i'm control at the monetary CEN
tres Of the United States could do
much to prevent wildly exaggerated i'm
pressions from taking hold of the peoples
mind. In short, they should do now
what they would surely do, or try to do,
later on, should need be.

on the 18th day OF July the following
resolution was offered b. Walter Sydnor,
Esq. and unanimously adopted
Resolved, That the Democrats OF Han
over hereby heartily endorse the nomi-
nation OF Bryan and Se.all, the candi-
dates selected by the Chicago conyen-
ton. and while we may not in all respects

Of a Democratic President rather than

CFor the Dispatch.)

u OF the DlSldAthsl
Once upon time. in the longtime ago,
two gallant knights In the same party
became involved in a discussion over
shield which stood between them-one
contending that It was Of white metal,
the other that twas Of yellow. The dis
pute waved warm. Finally the challenge
was passed. Just then a friend came up
and looking first at one side Of the
shield. then at the other. said: my
friends, each Of you has only looked
at your own side; but In a matter of this
kind it is always advisable to look at
both sides. and turning the shield around
YOU will see that one side Is OF the white,
and the other equally Of the yellow metal.
so there is no reason for fighting each
ether, when the enemy is In sight" And
the gallant knights, joining hands in
friendship. and bearing the shield above
them, marched shoulder to shoulder TO
victory over the opponent party. S. S.

(New York Herald)
The hot wave. which has so tenaciously
held sway over this section since Satur-
day, will give way decidedly to-day, and
the temperature will fall tonight to the
vicinity of 60 degrees. The air, de-
prived Of much OF the vapor with which 1t
has been loaded since Sunday. will also
be less sitting.
The chief fall OF temperature occurred
last evening in the Lake region, where
the mercury dropped to about 60 degrees.
The cool wave viii move eastwardly. but
its beneficial effects will be felt as far
south as Virginia. And 1t is not likely
that the heat will again become oppres-
slye until Saturday or Sunday.

That sank in the wood before.
What though the rich air culver,
The waters sparkle along,
What through the cushat Is cooling,

Waiting and listening and longing,
