The Richmond correspondent of
the Baltimore Sun is responsible for
the statement, that a slate has been
fixed up by republicans and boiling
democrats in Virginia, in the event
Bryan is defeated in Virginia this
fall, the principal feature of which
is that Col. William E. Cameron is to
be elected United States Senator in
place of Hon. John W. Daniel. In
other words, the gold democrats and
republicans are to form a combine
with the view of running things in
Virginia. Democrats of Accomac

Which party do you want to control
the affairs of the State? You will
answer at the polls in November and
whatever your views on the money
question, it will only be necessary for
you to do your duty, to remember
that detection in your ranks a few
years ago afflicted you with Malone
ism ard all the evils incident to the
same. Gold democrats may assist
the republicans in Virginia to victory
but no one is stupid enough to be
lieve, that they would be permitted
to assist in running the affairs OF
Virginia, unless they so entirely over
to them and become republicans
with them.

Hon. John S. Wise, who was ex'
pected to make several speeches in
Virginia in the interest of Mckinley
has, it is stated, cancelled all of his
engagements, and it is to be regretted
by the democrats OF Virginia, that
he has changed his mind, as he has
been in such bad humor with Vir-
cinia ever since she refused to elect
him Governor, that no democrat III
the State could listen to the abuse
which he INDUCES in toward them
without being aroused to their full
duty. he has been heard from how
ever, and in epeech in Boston few
days since, acquitted himself in this
wise:
"Brvan's following is composed of
cranks, doctrinaires, bankrupts, all
who cannot pay their debts, all the
scoundrels. He has strong follow
ing, and I feel like bowling to them,
not for their quality, but for their
numbers"
Such abuse, of course, convinces no
one, and the injustice of such an ut
terance before q Virginia audience
could not but be nauseating even to
boiling democrats, unless they are
ready to become 'apostates for the
price of their apostacy."

A Landslide i'll Kentucky.

Colonel R. C. Wintersmith, from
Louisville, KY, sat in the Hoffman
House last night talking politics.
Its rot" said the Colonel, this
claim of the Republicans that they
stand chance in Kentucky. They're
claiming the earth, because, they
elected a Governor last time by
10000 majority. Louisville did that
I'm from Louisville, but it's the
queerest town l ever saw. This time
it's the whole State against Louis
vile, and that 10000 Republican
majority is going to be turned into a
majority for Bryan of between 10000
and 10000. It's sure to be a land
slide. I've just been out in the rural
districts, and l know what I'm talk
ing about.
"That Indianapolis crowd" con-
tinued Colonel Wintersmith, "is
foolish. Buckner is cousin of mine
but he's too old to be running fol-
office. He's n, and Palmer's So"

The committee appointed by the
Legislature to investigate the hold
ings of Mr.. Ellinger, deserve and will
receive the thanks of the people OF
the Commonwealth for the careful
painstaking and efficient manner in
which they performed the duty. In
making the investigation, they took
nothing for granted which was a
matter of record, which had not been
first closely scrutinized by them, and
accepted as correct no testimony orar-
gument without weighing and sitting
them of the fallacies they contained.
Unlike many legislative committees,
it was in no sense a junketing party.
Every meeting, they held, meant
hard, laborious work, love for their
State, and an earnest desire to find
out if her rights had been infringed
upon. How well they did their duty
the liberal extracts from their report
to the Attorney General of the State,
embodied in another editorial, show.
That thier report will be sustained
by the courts which hereafter will
have to pass upon it, we do not doubt.

Maine has spoken and her vote was
cast as was expected for the republl-
can party and yet there are men IN
Virginia, strange to say, who have
had their heads so much turned by
the love Of gold, as to profess to be-
lieve, that it meant the country
would go republican in Novem
Der. They forget even that Arkansas
went democratic by $4,000 only few
days ago, an increase of nearly 100000.
Both were significant but not in the
way republicans and gold-bug demo
Gratis would have us believe. The vote
in Maine meant that the vote of the
New England States is for Mckinley.
The vote OF Arkansas showed that
the interest of the South and West
are identical, because OF their farm
ing interests, and that they will vote
for BRYAN.

Ex-President Harrison in his
speech in New York, opening the re-
publican campaign, admitted that
the free coinage of silver would raise
the price of farm produce. Boss Reed
in late speech gave utterance to the
same opinion in regard to the white
metal. Bourke Cochran, boltlng
democrat, in his late speech in New
York added his testimony to the
same effect. Gold men generally
concede, that free coinage means a
raise in the price of produce. SUCH
being the case farmers of the Eastern
Shore how should you cast your

The New York Sun was not always
as it is now. 10 June, 1885, that
newspaper, now devoted to gold
recommendation, expressed views OF
this sort:
"Gold has risen so that the proper
way of expressing the truth is to say
that the gold dollar is worth III
cents, while the silver dollar remains
at par.
"That prompt adoption of silver as
a standard instead of gold would,
therefore, arrest the decline in prices

did not cure, the evil of dull trade

Senator Sherman was asked a ques
ton the other day which he has not
VET answered. Senator Sherman is
the big gold bug of all the gold bugs
of the country. He went to Congress
a poor man. He had nothing but
his salary to depend on. He received
S., 900 a year, and he himself said it
cost him $4,000 year to live IN
Washington. Now the question
asked him was-"Senator, how is II
that after living for years $4,000 each
year above your income, you are able
to- day to count your wealth by the
millions?"
Is there a man in Virginia who
does not know that it is his duty to
vote against a party, which makes 1t
possible for those who run tito build
up such immense fortunes for them
selves in a few years?-and yet the
gold bugs of the country would have
you believe otherwise.
